122 REPORT—1857. 
Instead of the Peruvian quiper, they had pieces of wood, clay, stones of various 
sizes, colours and forms, by which was expressed principal occurrences, these being 
kept in compartments in their temples, tombs, and dwellings. 
According to the reading of the coloured stones, 700 years is given by some for the 
reigns of eighteen or nineteen Scyris ; other readers give fifteen Scyris and 500 years 
up to the death of Cacha Duchicela, who was conquered by Huayna Capae, the 
Peruvian Inca. 
The eighth Scyri conquered towards the south, making inroads upon the Puruhas 
of Liribamba. 
By the death of the eleventh Scyri, about a.p. 1300, the male line of the Scyris 
was extinguished, when Toa, his daughter, was declared the successor; she married 
Duchicela, the eldest son of Condorazo, chief of the Puruhds, who reigned seventy 
years ; was succeeded by his son Antachi, the thirteenth Scyri, and died about a.p. 
1370. ‘Guallca, his eldest son, being of a bad disposition, his brother Huaicopo was 
put in his place, who died about 1463, leaving his kingdom to Cacha, the fifteenth 
Scyri, leaving an only daughter, Paccha, who succeeded him. ; 
Huayna Capae, twelfth Inca of Peru, went against Quito in 1475; Cacha was 
mortally wounded, when his daughter Paccha was declared the Scyri. Huayna’ 
Capae, however, made overtures of marriage to Paccha, who was then twenty years 
of age, and by the law of Quito, whosoever she married could reign with her.: ~ 
Paccha consented, Atahualpa being her first son. Huayno Capae reigned thirty years 
over Quito, and at his death he gave the kingdom of Quito to his son Atahualpa, 
the empire of Peru descending to Huasca. 
- According to some, the natives of Quito called the supreme power Con: that Pacha- 
camac was the son of Con, A temple was built on the coast of Peru to Pachacamac, 
where he was worshiped as the invisible God; it would seem, however, that the 
first Inca taught his people that the Sun was the Supreme Power, and that Con and. 
Pachacamac were his offspring ; also that he the Inca was a child of the Sun. 
Under the 9th Inca, the country of Curysmancun, whose capital was at Pachaca- 
mac, was conquered by the Peruvians, when the Incareal theology was in danger 
from the purer one of Pachacamac; however, it was arranged that Pachacamac should 
retain his temples, and that others should be built to the Sun. 
Peru.—Mr. Bollaert states, that in 1852 he communicated to the Ethnological 
Society a paper on the Incas and Inchans of Peru, noticing principally some points 
in early Peruvian history, and opposing the ideas of such writers as Ranking, who 
have given as their opinion, that the Peruvians had an Asiatic origin in the thirteenth 
century, that Manco Capae was the son of Glengis Khan! and that the term Inga 
comes from the Mongol word Ungut!! The author also noticed that the dynasty 
of the Incas was rather modern, and that they had probably built some of their 
cities upon the ruins of those of more ancient nations, and adverted to those curious 
remains, the “ Pintados,” or Indian Pictography, observed by him in 1827 in Tara- 
paca. In 1853 Mr. Bollaert again visited South America, and extended his obser- 
vations. 
Adverting to the history, &c. of the aborigines south of Panama, Puna, and Tum- 
bez, he dwells somewhat upon the history and remains met with at Trujello, the land 
of the ancient Chimus. During the time of the Inca Pachacuter, there reigned in 
this part of the country the chief Chimu-Canchu : the Inca Jupanqui made success- 
ful war upon this nation, which had to abandon the worship of idols and follow that 
of the Sun. The Chimu ruins are very extensive, the architecture and ornaments 
simple and elegant. Here then we have the ruins of a nation nearly as powerful as 
that of the Incas: there are also here Incareal remains. The Chimu Huacas or 
tombs have yielded, amongst other things, many rich ornaments in gold and silver. 
The author has deposited in the British Museum, with other pieces of pottery, a fine 
specimen of art, a vase forming the head of an Inca, having the lobes of the ears 
enlarged and known as an “ Orejon*.” 
* Mr. Farris, long resident in this region, has just returned with a fine collection of antiqui- 
ties, principally from Trujello. : eres
