Description
Dive into the fascinating world of Inca writing and unravel the mysteries behind their innovative and unique systems of recording and transmitting knowledge. This webinar explores the symbolic meanings of tocapus (geometric designs found on textiles), the intricate knotting system of quipus (used for record-keeping and storytelling), and other ingenious methods the Incas developed to preserve and share their history, culture, and governance. Join us for this captivating journey into the past, where we will decode these ancient “writings,” highlight recent discoveries, and discuss their significance in understanding the sophistication of Andean civilization. Perfect for history enthusiasts, archaeology lovers, and anyone curious about the legacy of the Incan Empire and the Andean civilization.
