The Cord Keepers

- Khipus and Cultural Life in a Peruvian Village

Bag om The Cord Keepers

The Inkan empire did not have writing as it is usually understood. The Inkas kept track of information - including their complex social and political organization - on khipus, knotted cords of cotton or wool. This book presents an argument for a close intrinsic link between rituals and visual sign-systems.
