Manco Capac, First Inca Emperor and God

Manco Capac was the legendary first Sapa Inca (Inca Emperor) of the Kingdom of Cuzco and a figure of Inca mythology. There are several versions of his origin story, which connect him to the foundation of Cuzco. In one myth, Manco Capac was a son of the sun god Inti and Mama Quilla, and brother of Pacha Kamaq. Manco Capac himself was worshipped as a fire and sun God. He ruled the Kingdom of Cuzco for about forty years, establishing a code of laws, and is thought to have abolished human sacrifice. Manco ruled before the title of Sapa Inca was invented, so in fact his title is Capac, which roughly translates as warlord. He is thought to have reigned until about 1230, though some put his death in 1107. This illustration is from an incomplete series of full-length portraits of Inca rulers by an unidentified maker, probably an indigenous Peruvian or Bolivian artist.
