Manco Cápac
(c. 1200 AD)

Manco Cápac is a legend rather than a person we can pin down in history. One version says he and his sister-wife, Mama Ocllo, came out of Lake Titicaca, sent by the sun god Inti. Another says they came from a cave.

The story goes that Inti gave them a golden staff and told them to settle where it sank into the ground. That place became Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire. The Inca kings later said they were all descended from him.
