Inti legend

In one myth Manco Capac was a son of the sun god Inti and brother of Pachacamac. Manco Capac himself was worshipped as a fire and sun god. According the Inti legend, Manco Capac 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 underground caves, and there built a temple in honor of their father, the sun god Inti. During the journey to Cuzco, one of Manco’s brothers, and possibly one of his sisters, was turned to stone (huaca). In another version of this legend, instead of emerging from a cave, the siblings emerged from the waters of Lake Titicaca.
