Manco Cápac
Manco Capac is the first legendary emperor of Incas. This one would have left the Lac Titicaca with its sister-wife Mama Ocllo, sent by Viracocha, the creative god, to bring civilization to the men after the great flood which had very devastated. According to the legend of the Ayar brothers, all Incas go down from Manco Capac.
They travelled until the magic stick (a sceptre) out of gold of Manco penetrates the earth to indicate the place to them where to be established. It is there that they founded the first city INCA which will become Cuzco, i.e. the “navel of the world” in language Quechua. Manco Capac then taught with the men agriculture and the craft industry and Mama Ocllo taught with the women the art of weaving.
To thank the sun, Manco Capac and its sister decided to build the temple of the sun. It ordered then an assembly of the close tribes and was presented in the form of a son of God, a hero, and large civilizing. He taught to them to fish and his wife to be woven.
This legend differs from that of the Ayar brothers in several points, in particular by the fact that in the latter, Manco Capac is not essential peacefully but by the force.
Manco Capac is the 1st INCA of a series of 12 (13 with Atahualpa).
