Pre-Columbian Pachacamac Site Dedicated To God Of Creation, Fire And Earthquakes In Inca Religion
AncientPages.com | May 31, 2018 

A. Sutherland - AncientPages.com - On the Peruvian coast, the natives worshiped a fish god named Pachacamac (or Pacha Kamaq) - "The One Who Generates (or animates) the World". It was Pachacamac who created the world and all the creatures that inhabit it. According to Inca mythology, Pachacamac was the god of fire and earthquakes and the child of the sun.

Pacha means "Earth" and Camac means "creator" was originally worshipped by a group of Indian peoples of the coast of Peru (Yuncas) and later adopted by the Incan Empire.
