Incas: Sun God
built 208 days ago
The Incas were polytheists (they worshipped several different gods). The most important god was Inti, the sun god. The Incas ... worshipped Quilla the moon goddess, wife of the sun. They also worshipped Illapa god of thunder, who controlled the rain.

The Incas were a developed imperial nation having similarities with the ancient Egyptians. Among these were the worship of a sun god, the worship of their kings as gods, mummification, and more. However there are distinct differences involving the terrain, crops, warfare, and others, yet many religious principles are similar.

Archaeologists theorize that corn was first cultivated in Peru where the Incas believed maize was a gift from their sun god, Inti. The earliest motifs of maize, its stalks, ears and tassels are found in Inca ruins, and dried ears of corn thousands of years old have been discovered in Inca graves. Sculptured corn stalks stood in temple gardens; the husks and silks were fashioned in silver, and the corn kernels were made from solid gold. Confidant that they were Inti's direct descendants, Inca nobility sipped sweet maize drinks from gold cups fashioned like ears of corn.

The Incas committed the same crimes committed by the Egyptians, and so suffered the same fate. Thus the powerful Spanish set up a cruel colonial government over the Incas like the mighty and cruel Assyrian nation that conquered the Egyptians. God used Iron, the weapon that gave the Spaniards such an advantage over the Incas, to give the Egyptians into the hands of the Assryians. There is no eternal paradise or punishment for nations, and so they must suffer the consequences on earth.

In the Andean mythology it was considered that Incas were descendants of the Sun, therefore, they had to worship it annually with a sumptuous celebration. More over, the festivity was carried out by the end of the potato and maize harvest in order to thank the Sun for the abundant crops or otherwise in order to ask for better crops during the next season.
