Inti is considered the Sungod and the ancestor of the Incas. Inca people were living in South America in the ancient Peru.

 

In the remains of the city of Machu Picchu, it is possible to see a shadow clock which describes the course of the Sun personified by Inti.

 

Inti is of unknown mythological origin. The most common story says that he is the son of Viracocha, the god of civilization.

 

Inti and his wife Pachamama, the Earth goddess, were regarded as benevolent.

 

According to an ancient Inca myth, Inti taught his son Manco Capac and his daughter Mama Ocollo the arts of civilization and sent them to the Earth to instruct mankind about what they had learned...

 

The Incas generally portrayed Inti as a golden disk with a human face surrounded by rays and flames.

 

Images of Inti were often of gold, which was called "the sweat of the sun."
