Manco Capac

According to the legend the first son of the sun was Manco Capac, of extraterrestrial origin.
The source of the Inca history seems to be the holy lake of the Indians in the Andes, lake Titicaca.Here Manco started his long walk to Cuzo. Inti, his father the sun, put on Manco Capac:"Go down to earth and arrange your domination there.A domination of friendliness and tolerance, of inspiration and finding.
Teach the unknowing how to cultivate the fields and to breed animals. Instruct them also in the right religion. Give them rules and regulations, because without life is not possible on earth".
Inti also gave his son a magic stick.
There, where it grinds into the earth by itself, Manco Capac is supposed to build his empire.
Wherever the sun son attempted to place the golden stick into the earth, no matter how hard he tried, he always failed.
At a place named Huaynapata, between the rivulets of Huatanay and Tullumayo, the earth received the sun stick for the first time.That was the country that Manco Capac and his followers, the Ayares, had been searching for a long time.
At the place where the golden stick went into the earth for the first time, close to where the rivers come together, running through the valley of Cuzco, the first Inca built his palace. A part was destined for the golden sun and called Inticancha (suncourt).
Manco Capac instructed the inhabitants in the valley of Cuzco in growth of corn and plants and he brought them the pleasure of eating the coca-leaves. He created the first order of laws and taught the citizens to vary good of evil. The worst crimes, in the eyes of the Peruan Indians, like murder, theft and idolatry were severely punished.

Manco Capac/ Capac= the gorgeous,

After my trip 1997 through Bolivia and Peru I built this sculpture from wood and iron.
