His name mean Apu=Lord, Kon=Water, Ticse=beguining, Wira=Vital force and Cocha=Lagoon or spirit of the water; He is an androgen inca god, created by himself, immortal, creator of the universe and it was believe that he was everywhere around us, taking shapes of animals, plants, stones or even men; The inca mythology about him is quite interesting and has several explanations.

The first explanation about the inca god Apu Kon Ticse Wiracocha, came from the Quipucamayocs of the inca empire, they where the holders of the knowledge of the quipus; Today we believe that the quipus were only calculators, the true is that the quipus were use to write, with a complex mathematic system; When the spaniards arrive and ask for the history of the incas empire, the quipucamayocs search for special quipus and reading them, they could explain to the the spaniards chronicles, about the arrival of the Apu Kon Ticse Wiracocha.

The Quipucamayocs version is: After the great flood, the inca god Apu Kon Ticse Wiracocha, decide to re populate the earth, so he order to his two disciples Imaynana and Toqapo to walk with him to the lagoon, in the collao region, where is located an island call Titicaca (known today as, island of the sun in the Titicaca lake); Wiracocha order to the island to let go the sun, the moon and the starts because this world need light, and so it was; Then the sun, the moon and the stars were born.

The inca god Apu Kon Ticse Wiracocha decide to build a temple to commemorate what it was done in that island; So then Wiracocha decide to walk the land to the northwest of the country, his first stop was the region of collasullu, where he teach his knowledge and order to the people to multiply and repopulate the earth; The land of collasullu is known today to be the born place of the pre inca culture of Tiahuanaco in the 1400 B.C.

Wiracocha order to his two disciples Imaynana and Toqapo to split up, walking in different directions but with the same destiny; Wiracocha order to his disciples to teach his knowledge and order to the people to multiply and repopulate the earth, so they split up and Wiracocha carry on walking, teaching and ordering to the people to re populate earth in each place that he stop.

The inca god Apu Kon Ticse Wiracocha finalize his pilgrimage of knowledge and culture in the equator line, next to the pacific ocean, in a place call manta; Wiracocha meet his disciples and prepare to leave, but before leaving Wiracocha make a final prophesy: Someone in the future will tell you that is me, do not believe him because I shall return to finish your education; So Wiracocha and his two disciples, leave to the ocean and walk into the water without sinking.

The inca mythology have other versions about Wiracocha and they will sound pretty amazing: One quite interesting version suggest that the inca god Apu Kon Ticse Wiracocha was a Viking, we have no real proof that the vikings visit north america or south america, so this hypothesis it is only back up for the inca people description of the Apu Kon Ticse Wiracocha: Tall, white skin, blue eyes, long white bear, hair with the color of the sun and came from the water, it fits a viking quite good.

Another version say that the Apu Kon Ticse Wiracocha is a surviver from the Atlantis, because in all images of Wiracocha, he is always holding what people believe that are two paddles from a bout; The theory say: Wiracocha appear right after the great flood or the world, moment of destruction of the Atlantis, so three survivors arrive to land, teach their technology and educated the people; This theory could explain how the incas develop such advance technology to build their cities.

No matter what you want to believe about the inca god Apu Kon Ticse Wiracocha; The fact is that while he was walking the land, he build cultures; Curiously the walking path is mathematical and geometrical perfect, it is impossible to have it done without a great understanding of mathematics and geometrics; Another unbelievable fact is that all the pre incas cultures are align with the walking path in perfect harmony, like they were place there for a reason; We never will know why?, or maybe we will, if the prophesy of the return of Wiracocha will happen in the 2032.
