The Lost City of the Sun

At the heart of the Nowlins' discoveries lies the astounding revelation of the fabled Lost City of the Sun, known to the Incas as "Inti Ninampui." This mythical city, concealed deep within the Andean mountains, was believed to be the spiritual center of the Incan Empire.

Citing ancient texts and first-hand accounts, William and Bettye Nowlin unveil the captivating rituals performed within the ancient city. They describe elaborate ceremonies, where Inca priests paid homage to Inti, the Sun God, with intricate dances, sacred songs, and offerings of gold and silver.

The Mysterious Nazca Lines

One of the most fascinating aspects of Inca civilization is the enigmatic Nazca Lines. These colossal geoglyphs, etched into the Nazca Desert, have puzzled researchers for decades. However, the Nowlins' account sheds new light on the purpose behind these mysterious creations.

According to their findings, the Nazca Lines served as sacred pathways for the spirits of deceased Inca rulers. The ancient beliefs held that these rulers, after death, would return to the earthly realm to oversee their empire. The Nazca Lines acted as guides, leading the spirit of the deceased ruler from the burial site to key ceremonial locations.

Unraveling the Knots of Quipus

The Incas lacked a formal written language, but they possessed a highly intricate system called Quipus. These encoding devices consisted of various colored strings tied in intricate knots. While the true meaning of Quipus has long eluded researchers, William and Bettye Nowlin have made significant breakthroughs in deciphering their purpose.

Through their meticulous study and analysis of hundreds of Quipus, the Nowlins propose that these devices were not only used for record-keeping but also as a form of communication. They discovered that specific knot arrangements represented ideas, numbers, and even narratives, providing insight into the Inca's sophisticated understanding of their world.

Account Of The Fables And Rites Of The Incas is not only a testament to the Nowlins' relentless pursuit of knowledge but also a significant contribution to our understanding of this ancient culture.

Only a few decades after the Spanish conquest of Peru, the third Bishop of Cuzco, Sebastián de Lartaún, called for a report on the religious practices of the Incas. The report was prepared by Cristóbal de Molina, a priest of the Hospital for the Natives of Our Lady of Succor in Cuzco and Preacher General of the city. Molina was an outstanding Quechua speaker, and his advanced language skills allowed him to interview the older indigenous men of Cuzco who were among the last surviving eyewitnesses of the rituals conducted at the height of Inca rule. Thus, Molina's account preserves a crucial first-hand record of Inca religious beliefs and practices.

This volume is the first English translation of Molina's Relación de las fábulas y ritos de los incas since 1873 and includes the first authoritative scholarly commentary and notes. The work opens with several Inca creation myths and descriptions of the major gods and shrines (huacas). Molina then discusses the most important rituals that occurred in Cuzco during each month of the year, as well as rituals that were not tied to the ceremonial calendar, such as birth rituals, female initiation rites, and marriages. Molina also describes the Capacocha ritual, in which all the shrines of the empire were offered sacrifices, as well as the Taqui Ongoy, a millennial movement that spread across the Andes during the late 1560s in response to growing Spanish domination and accelerated violence against the so-called idolatrous religions of the Andean peoples.
