Editing Manco Cápac (section)

=== Legend of Manqu Qhapaq and Mama Ocllo ===
In this second legend, Manco Cápac was a son of the sun god [[Inti]] and the moon goddess [[Mama Killa]], and brother of [[Pacha Kamaq]]. Manco Cápac himself was worshipped as a [[fire]] and a Sun [[God]]. According to the Inti legend, Manco Cápac and his siblings were sent up to the earth by the sun god and emerged from the [[cave]] of [[Pacaritambo]] carrying a golden staff, called ''tapac-yauri''. Instructed to create a [[Temple]] of the Sun in the spot where the staff sank into the earth, they traveled to Cusco via caves and there built a temple in honour of their father Inti.

However, given the absence of a written tradition recounting this tale before the publication of ''[[Comentarios Reales de los Incas]]'' by [[Garcilaso de la Vega (chronicler)|Garcilaso de la Vega]] in the year 1609, the authenticity of this legend as a legitimate Incan legend is questioned.
