Then he gave them kernels of corn, “find a land where corn will flourish and there you must build a city for yourselves and a temple for your father the Sun.” He gave the other brothers golden disks to wear as ear pendants. Then he stepped down from the rock on which he stood and returned to his golden house, the Sun. The brothers went and when they reached the mountain height of Huancauri, a quarrel started. Manco, Auca, and Uchu united against Cachi whom they feared because he was a magician. They enticed him into a cave and then blocked the entrance with heavy boulders. Cachi was so enraged that he turned himself into a stone. The youngest brother, Uchu, remained in Huanacauri, and then he served the Sun until he too turned into stone. The same happened to Auca before they reached their destination.

Only Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo remained, she took the golden staff and hurled it, and it fell into the valley of Cuzco (the naval). There it buried itself so deeply into the ground that there was no trace of it, so she took this as a sign that they should settle there.
            The dynasty continued with Sinchi Roca, Lloque Yupanqui, Mayta Capac, Capac Yupanqui, Inca Roca, Yahuar Huacac, Viracocha Inca, Pachacutic, Topac Inca Yaupanqui, Huayna Capac, Huascar, and finally Atahualpa. All these men where not only lords of the Inca Empire, but also direct descendants of the Sun, and they were worshipped even after death. Manco Capac is the first Inca man and represents all the men in Tawantinsuyu.

Inca Way of Life
To the Incas, corn was a gift from the Sun God, Inti. It was the principle plant that was helping them in their expansion. The Incas had and advanced and sophisticated system of agriculture. They had hundreds of different varieties of corn.

As food they used corn in different ways, made bread, soup, and the sacred ceremonial drink, Cicha (corn beer). The Inca king would be the only person to drink from the Golden Kero (a ceremonial cup); the others would use wooden, clay and sometimes copper Keros. But only the Inca was worthy enough to use golden items for he was a direct descendant of the Sun, Inti.

The llama was perhaps the most sacred of the animals; for it was the llamas that were used as packed animals to transport their goods and when needed they were killed to sometimes feed the troops while on war campaigns. The Andean people domesticated the llama and were very attached to them, many times decorating them with beautiful vibrant colors. The Incas made clothing and weavings from the llama and alpaca. The Vicuna (alpaca) was undomesticated and lived in the high mountain peaks. Every year the Inca and his men rounded them up by the hundreds and hunted them for their warm coats and delicious meat. They cut the meat into long strips and dried them up in the sun to make “charqui” (today known as jerky). Only the Inca wore clothing made from the very sacred and rare Vicuna. 
             Gold was very sacred to the Incas, not for their price value, but for their spiritual value. To the Inca Empire gold was the sacred sweat of the Sun, and silver was also sacred, and it represented the tears of the moon.

Rumiñahui, Ruminavi, Rumiñagui, or alternatively Rumiaoui, born late 15th century, died June 25, 1535, was an Inkawarrior who, after the death of Emperor Atahualpa, led the resistance against the Spanish in the northern part of the Inca Empire (modern-day Ecuador) in 1533.

Born in Pillaro in the modern province of Tungurahua , Ecuador his given name was Ati II Pillahuaso. Inca historians tend to believe that he was Atahualpa's half brother, born from a native noble woman. When Francisco Pizarro imprisoned Atahualpa and held him in the Ransom Room, Rumiñahui marched towards Cajamarca to deliver a huge amount of gold. But when the Spaniards broke their word, executing Atahualpa and slaughtering his troops, Rumiñahui returned to the kingdoms of Quito and is believed to have ordered the Treasure of the Llanganatis thrown off a cliff into a lake or crater.
