When challenged, he explained that these quipus were the account he had to give to the Inca, when he [the Inca] returned from the other world, of all that had happened in the valley in his absence. In the account were included all the Spaniards who had traveled on that royal road, what they had wanted and bought, and all they had done, both the good and the bad.” - Diego Avalos y Figueroa 1602 (cited in Urton, 2002) In the 16th century, the Spaniards, who invaded the Inca state, discovered that its huge 5000km territory stretched from Colombia to Chile was successfully governed as an empire of unprecedented scale. The main question was: how did they manage such a vast empire effectively without a written language or an obvious mathematical system using enigmatic quipu and yupanas? #Inca #Quipu #Yupana #Ethnomathematics #BinaryCoding Timestamps: 00:00 - The Inca empire 02:56 - Enigma of Yupana 07:40 - Inka key 11:33 - Wak’as (huacas) 12:46 - Structure of a quipu 15:31 - Double entry 19:24 - Proto-intelligence 22:30 - Semantic space 24:07 - God-numbers 26:36 - Prehistoric knotted string writing 27:55 - BNF 30:39 - Astronomical quipu 31:26 - Ceque system 33:47 - Wak’as ideology 34:48 - ASCII of quipu 39:02 - Urim & Thummim? 43:21 - Arithmetic formulas 46:10 - Afterword Sources: Significant threads: The nature of data - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science...
