Everything about The Willaq Umu totally explained
The
Willaq Umu ("priest who recounts") were the High Priests of the Sun in the
Inca Empire. They were usually the brothers of the
Sapa Inca (the ruler of the empire), and most likely the second most powerful person in the entire empire. This office (in some accounts) was created during the reign of
Pachakuti. By the end of the empire, the high priest was also the field marshals in war for the emperor.
The Sun God in
Inca mythology was
Inti, and the most important god amongst the pantheon the Inca people. In part, this is why the most powerful priest in the empire was the high priest to the most revered god.
