Pacha Kamaq

Pacha Kamaq, meaning Earth-Maker, was the creator god worshiped by the peoples of Peru's central coast before the Inca conquest of the region. The Inca received him into their own pantheon after conquering the coast, but ranked him below Viracocha as the less powerful of the two. The myths that survive of him are sparse and inconsistent: some accounts identify him as Manco Capac's cowardly brother Ayca, others make him, Manco Capac and Viracocha the three sons of the sun god Inti, and one story holds that after he made the first man and woman but forgot to give them food, and then grew furious when the woman prayed to Inti after the man's death, he tried to kill her children one by one, only to be defeated and thrown into the sea by his own avenging son Vichama, after which he settled for becoming the supreme god of fish.
