#Illapa is the Inca God of Thunder and Rain. He doubled as a war god and held divine influence over the weather. At his worst, there was drought, famine, torrential rain and floods. At his best, Illapa nourished the earth and crucial farmland across the #Inca Empire. He is depicted as an imposing man in brilliant garments of gold and precious stones.

Mama Killa (Mother Moon) is the Incan Goddess of the Moon, Marriage, and Menstruation. She is the guardian of women and cries tears of silver. Lunar eclipses are caused when she is being attacked by an animal.
The #Inca followed a lunar calendar associated with #MamaKilla to plan their rituals.

Inti is the Incan sun god and the national patron of the #Inca Empire. The Inca ruler was considered to be the living representative of Inti. Worship of Inti was centralised in the capital, #Cusco, where there stood a sun temple called Intikancha. Today the Convent of Santo Domingo stands on its ruins.

#Ch'aska or Ch'aska Quyllur is the goddess of dawn and twilight, the gentlest aspects of the sun, in the religion of the #Inca. She uses her light to make flowers grow and inspire blossoms. Flowers, young women, and love are born from her gentleness.

On 26th July 1533, the Spanish killed the Inca emperor Atahualpa by garrotting him. They threw the body in an unmarked grave, which devastated the Incas as the emperor needed to be mummified in order for his soul to pass over into the next stage of life and for his son Topatauchi to succeed him as emperor.
NB: Some historians state that the date was actually 28.8.1533.
