Apu Illapu, Iiyapa – the god of rain and thunder, most often prayed to by ordinary people, as rain played a significant role in their lives. Temples to Apu Illapu were usually built on hills. When people needed rain, they climbed to the very top, to the temple, and there they made offerings (usually slaves or prisoners of war). These were often human sacrifices. According to legend, Apu cannot be seen, but his shadow – the cluster of stars we call the Milky Way – can be seen. The Incas believed that Apu drew water from the Milky Way.

Inti - "My Father." The sun god and lord of life. He was considered the father of Inca rulers. The god inspired fear, and solar eclipses were considered manifestations of his wrath, while comets were considered mortal threats from the god Inti. He was the central figure in many important official rites and the main festival in his honor, Inti Raymi, which was celebrated annually on the June midsummer solstice. The center of Inti's cult was the massive Qoricancha temple, or Temple of the Sun, in Cuzco. His image is a human face on a golden disk surrounded by sun rays.

Mama-Kilya – the goddess (mother) of the moon, sister and consort of Inti. The Incas believed that Mama-Kilya shed silver tears when she wept. She was revered as the mother of the Inca people and as a deity whose arrival and departure marked the passage of time. It was believed that during a lunar eclipse, Mama-Kilya was attacked by a mountain lion or a giant snake, both of which humans could drive away if they raised a loud enough uproar.

Manko Kapak, Manco Capac – mythical ancestor of the Inca rulers. Manco Capac was one of six siblings – three brothers and three sisters – born from a cave in Pacariqtambo. After a rather long journey with Mama Oqlyo, his wife, and his sister, Manco Capac arrived at a certain location and planted his staff in the ground. They founded a settlement there, which became Cuzco, the capital of the Inca state, and their descendants became the royal line of the Incas. Later, Manco Capac was transformed into stone, one of the most revered treasures of the Incas.

Oriana, Orejona – a woman who came from the stars on a "golden ship," according to Inca legend from Tiwanaku. She was the leader of this ship. It was she who gave birth to the human race; she returned to the stars. She had only four webbed toes on each of her feet and fingers.

Pacariqtambo – "Place of Origin." This was the place where the ancestors of the Incas supposedly emerged from the earth. From three caves in Pacariqtambo, near the ancient Inca capital of Cuzco in Peru, three brothers and three sisters emerged. One of the brothers, named Manco Capac, was the mythical founder of Cuzco and the Inca imperial dynasty.
