Inti (English spelling)

Inti (English spelling)
It means sun in Quechua. In the religion of the Inca (Inca civilization), it is explained that all things were created by the creator god Viracocha, including the sun. The sun was also the ancestor of the Inca, and the chief of the Inca, that is, the emperor of the Inca Empire, was the child of the sun. After conquering the peoples of the central Andes, the Inca Empire sought to spread the Inca religion as a way of unifying the nation, building temples of the sun in various places and making it the duty of the people to manage the temple land and livestock.
