In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the Inca khipu — the Andean cord-and-knot recording system that functioned as an empire-wide information network without a written language. They discuss the quipucamayoc specialists who tied and read the knots, the decimal-based accounting that tracked census data and tribute, and the ongoing scholarly debate about whether khipus also encoded narrative history. The conversation covers the colonial destruction of khipus, the few surviving examples like the 1,537-cord khipu from Laguna de los Cóndores, and the work of modern researchers such as Gary Urton and the Harvard Khipu Database Project. Lucas explains how the Qhapaq Ñan road system relied on khipu relays, how the Spanish initially mistook khipus for witchcraft, and why some Andean villages still use khipu-like cords today. The episode ends with a reflection on what it means for a civilization to choose not to write. #IncaKhipu #Quipucamayoc #Tawantinsuyu #GaryUrton #HarvardKhipuProject #AndeanCivilization #LagunaDeLosCondores #DecimalAccounting #QhapaqÑan #KhipuNarrative #IncaEmpire #PreColumbian #IndigenousKnowledge #CordWriting #SouthAmerica #History #FexingoHistory #Peru Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
