Inca Mythology is a rich tapestry of beliefs and stories that were integral to the Inca civilization, which thrived in the Andean region of South America. Central to their mythology are deities such as Inti, the sun god, and Pachamama, the earth goddess, who were believed to govern various aspects of life and nature. The Incas also had a complex understanding of the cosmos, with myths explaining the creation of the world and the origins of humanity. These narratives not only served to explain natural phenomena but also reinforced social order and cultural identity among the Inca people.
