Viracocha |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia | 0.07 sec. |
ViracochaCreator god of the pre-Inca inhabitants of Peru, later assimilated into the Inca pantheon. A god of rain, he was believed to have created the Sun on the waters and foam of Lake Titicaca. After forming the rest of the heavens and the earth, he wandered through the world teaching humankind the arts of civilization. At Manta (Ecuador) he walked westward across the Pacific Ocean, promising to return one day. His cult was extremely ancient, and he is probably the weeping god sculpted in the megalithic ruins at Tiwanaku. |
