Pacha Kamaq

Pachacamac or Pacha Kamaq (pronounced [ˈpatʃa ˈkamaχ], he is the creator god and animator of the entire universe. Likewise, he was the one who controlled the balance in the world.

Like other Andean gods, Pachacamac is a god with multiple attributes. Among these attributes are fire, the sky, night, earth, earthquakes, etc.

The god Pachacamac enjoyed high prestige on the central coast of the Inca Empire and his influence was such that he was commonly considered a re-edition of the god Viracocha.

The sacred Quechua song called Yayallay is an ancient religious hymn of Inca origin that was transcribed by Blas Valera. In this song, a young Inca student at the yachahuasi, a school for the nobility, asks the three gods Illapa, Inti, and Pachacamac for many children of his royal blood (Valera 1618:c.5v), but at the same time affirms that Pachacamac has neither beginning nor end; he also addresses Pachamama, whom these gods impregnate.

Tahuantinsuyu adopted Pacha Kamaq when they incorporated the Ichma into their empire. In late Inca mythology he was the father of Inti and Mama Killa, and husband of Mama Pacha. The Wari, the Pachacamac empire, Chancay, Chimor and Ichma possessed the city of Pachacamac at some point but it is unknown if any other peoples, apart from the Ichma, worshipped the Pacha Kamaq deity.

Likewise, Pachacamac was considered "the creator" in the cultures of Lima, Chancay, Ichma, Huari and Chincha.
