Pacha Kamaq

Pacha Kamaq Deity OTL Religion: Inca pantheon God of: Creation, authority Spouse: Pachamama Children: Inti and Mama Killa Fictional Appearances: Pacha Kamaq (Quechua, "Creator of the World"; also Pacha Camac, Pachacamac and Pacharurac) was the deity worshiped by the Ichma people, and later the Inca Empire, in present-day Peru. In Ichma mythology, Pacha Kamaq was believed to have created the first man and woman, but forgot to give them food and the man died. The woman cursed Pacha Kamaq, accusing him of neglect, and Pacha Kamaq made her fertile. Later Pacha Kamaq killed her son and cut the corpse into pieces, each of which became a separate fruit or vegetable plant. The woman's second son, Wichama, escaped, so Pacha Kamaq killed the woman. Wichama sought revenge and drove Pacha Kamaq into the ocean. In late Inca mythology he was the father of Inti and Mama Killa, and husband of Mama Pacha. Pacha Kamaq in "The Pugnacious Peacemaker" Patjakamak was the chief god of Tawantiinsuuju. His worship could be traced back to the 14th century. After contact with Christian and Muslim colonists, Patjamkamakism adopted one of the harsher qualities of these religions, i.e., that it was the only true way to the divine power, and the gods of all other religions were false idols.
