Editing Mama Ocllo (section)

== Origin ==
There are multiple variations of Mama Ocllo's origin. One common version involves Mama Ocllo emerging with Manco Cápac from an island or cave in [[Lake Titicaca]] after Inti created them, though in some alternate versions, the rest of their siblings, as well as ten [[Ayllu|ayllus]], rise from the lake, too, and they all journey together for a short time.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2" /> Some myths depict Mama Ocllo and Manco Cápac's place of origin to be from the [[Rock of Origins]], which is a location described as sacred.<ref>Busque, Jordi.

Another account tells how Mama Ocllo and her siblings were all brought into existence by Inti, though this time they emerged from the middle of three windows on a cave known as [[Paqariq Tampu|Pacariqtambo]], and were given a sign when they approached the land they were supposed to settle on rather than a rod to prod the ground with.<ref name=":2" /> 

Instead of Inti, one legend says that Mama Ocllo is the daughter of Viracocha and Mama Qucha,<ref name="Bingham" /> making her a sibling of Inti.

There are historical accounts, including those recorded by [[Vasco Núñez de Balboa]], [[Juan de Betanzos]], and [[Martín de Murúa|Fray Martin de Morua]], that described Mama Ocllo and Manco Cápac as leaders of a group of people (the Ayar clan) who came from the Tampu Tocco area.<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Second Part of the Chronicle of Peru|url=https://archive.org/details/partofchronicleperu00ciez|last=León|first=Pedro de Cieza de|date=1883|publisher=Hakluyt Society|location=London|pages=[https://archive.org/details/partofchronicleperu00ciez/page/12 12]}}</ref>
