Today I will tell you about the origin of the Incas in which it is a myth of the mountains, now we begin to write:
The origin of the Incas who ruled and conquered the said provinces of Peru, left some fictions and imaginations that some Indians say, that is to have come from three brothers who left a cave that is in the province of Pacaritambo, and other things that not being authentic or having credibility are left, what seems more true and come to reason, is that the first Incas were natural of said Pacaritambo, which is seven leagues from Cuzco, which the Caxatambo Indians also call, which in our language denotes beginning.
It seems this because the language that the Incas speak and the one they made general and common throughout the land they conquered, is the Quichoa language. which is particular and natural of the Pacaritambo Indians, where they claim to be the beginning.
One of these Incas went to live in the valley where Cuzco is currently built, in a town that was in a part of it and is now incorporated into the Cuzco saying, which is called Cayacacho and lived some time with the nature of that valley , until those who descended from it, the number of people multiplied, which because they were more skilled and better-natured and because of their courageous people, they came to rule in the said town of Cayacacho, and from there Cuzco began, and they were enlarged their lordship and increasing their city with police and good government, and those of them were lords and reigned, had all their study and vigilance in giving to understand those who were subjects and those who wanted to conquer, who were more than men and that they knew supernatural things and that they talked with the Maker of all things, and that they had more communication with that than the other people, who were children of the Sun. And this they did and persuaded under a genre d and religion and of putting the strength of their empire in the observance of the worship and veneration of the things they adored and of putting great vigor and narrowness in sacrificing them and keeping many ceremonies, which made them not only obtain from all those who conquered, but they worshiped them in life and after death.
And for being the people who subdued low capacity and low understandings, they squared all that and they had it and they were so fixed in their judgments, that I don't know if such a prisoner can make them believe the mockery that it is.
