Aymara-Inca mythology

The Mythology Aymara-Inca include the following South American peoples and empires: Aymara, Inca Empire, Tahuanottinsuyu, Tahuantinsuyo, Quechua

THE'aymara (or sometimes aimara) is a vernacular that has replaced many others such as Uru or Uchhumataqu from Bolivia.

According to Rodolfo Cerrón-Palomino, one of the main specialists of these two languages, it was not Quechua, but Aymara which was the official language of the Inca Empire, contrary to a widespread belief..

The varieties of Aymara form a linguistic subfamily with the varieties of Quechua.

THE'Inca Empire (called Tahuantinsuyu, Tahuantinsuyo Where Tawantin Suyu in Quechua, meaning "four in one" or "the whole of the four parts") was, from the XV^e in the XVI^e century, one of the states of the Andean civilization and the largest empire in pre-Columbian America.

Its territory in fact extended, at its maximum extent, over nearly 4,500 km in length, from the south-west of present-day Colombia (Ancasmayo valley, and even for a time in Río Patía, region of San Juan de Pasto), in the north, to the middle of present-day Chile (at the Río Maule), in the south, and including almost all of the present-day territories of Peru and Ecuador, as well as a significant part of Bolivia, Chile, and significant of the Argentina of the North-West, that is to say on a surface of more than three times that of France of today.

Heir to pre-existing Andean civilizations, it was meshed by an important network of roads of approximately 22,500 to 38,600 kilometers converging towards its capital, Cuzco.
