He started the Inca [[empire]]. As he says it, his [[legend]] started at the waters of [[Lake Titicaca]], when he was told by the [[sun god]] to go [[East]] to set up his empire. As they walked looking for a good place, Manco taught men to [[Farming|farm]], [[Hunting|hunt]], and [[Fishing|fish]] while [[Mama Ocllo]], his wife taught women to work with [[wool]] and [[cotton]]. Near [[Cusco]], as his sacred golden staff sank in the ground, Manco decided this was to be the [[capital city]] of his empire. {{bio-stub}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Capac, Manco}} [[Category:Year of birth unknown]] [[Category:1230 deaths]] [[Category:Inca rulers]]
