• It takes between 500 and 600 hours and up to six months to spin, dye, and weave a traditional Peruvian poncho. Peruvians generally receive one poncho upon becoming an adult and it is expected to last a lifetime. Nearly every weaving technique known today was invented by Peruvians – and all of them were invented by 3000 B.C..

Each quipus was different in size or color to represent details like crop measures, thefts, debts, and other events.
• The Incas were the only ancient culture in the world to define constellations of both dark and light.
