The origins of Cusco are lost in the night of time. Archaeological excavations let us know that the Cusco valley (except for its bottom, then marshy) was already inhabited by primitive settlers about three millennia ago. Around the 12th century, Manco Cápac and his sister and wife Mama Ocllo, demigods and sons of Father Inti (the Sun God) emerged from the waters of Lake Titicaca, with the mission of founding a new kingdom to improve living conditions of the peoples. Manco Cápac and Mama Ocllo would have to walk until they found a place on the ground where the great golden scepter carried by Manco Cápac sank, they walked to the north and reached Pacárec Tampu (Pacaritambo) where they rested in a small cave; At dawn they continued north until they reached Cerro Huanacaure and there the scepter sank, and founded the city of Cusco. Also called Qosqo or Cuzco (Quechua voice: the navel of the world).
