The Legend of
Manco Cápac and Mama Ocllo
A long time ago, men lived in caves and had no tools to hunt animals or plant food. They lived alone, and didn't know how to live together in harmony .
Wiracocha , the Sun God , saw all of this. He decided to send his son Manco Capac and his daughter Mama Ocllo to help people and teach them the good ways.
Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo came out of the lake Titicaca , ready to do what their father had asked them to.
Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo walked through the mountains, far, far away. All the time they were taping the ground with gold scepter , but it would not sink in.
Make a prediction.
What do you think will happen next?
After many many days of walking, finally the scepter sunk in the ground of the Huanacaure mountain.
They had finally found the place where they would build the Empire !
In this land they found many people. They made friends with them, and taught them many useful things.
Manco Capac taught the men how to hunt, plant food and build houses.
Mama Ocllo taught the women how to cook, clean the houses and make clothes from the wool of their animals .
