The kids are learning about some ancient American cultures such as the Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans. While reading about the Incas, we got to go into detail about the amazing discovery of the ancient Incan town of Machu Picchu. Like the other ancient American cultures, the Inca were a polytheistic society meaning they believed in many different gods. The Inca most revered the sun god whom they named Inti. He was often represented as a sun disk like this. The kids used clay and made their own Incan representation on Inti. They used air drying modeling clay so no baking was needed. It is soft and easy to work with. We have clay tools so they had fun using those to help with their creations. I love how they each made their own representation of Inti. They love working with clay so this was a fun way to pull art into our history studies.

Los orígenes del pueblo inca Según la leyenda, el Sol dio vida a los primeros mortales en un sitio donde había tres cuevas: de las dos primeras salieron las etnias maras y tambos, y de la última, los hermanos Ayar. Los primeros no dejaron una gran prole y el Sol confió en los hermanos para poblar el mundo. Para ello, le dio una mujer a cada varón, siendo Mama Ocllo la esposa-hermana de Ayar Manco. Ordenados en parejas, caminaron hacia el sur, pero durante la travesía se fueron separando: Ayar Cachi fue enviado por sus hermanos a Tamputoco, donde fue encerrado para siempre, Ayar Uchú se convirtió en una montaña y Ayar Auca murió ahogado en un río. Solamente Ayar Manco y sus hermanas viudas llegaron al Cuzco, para fundar una nueva civilización. De esta manera nace el pueblo inca, que después de ser un pequeño asentamiento en el centro de los Andes, se convertiría en el más grande imperio de Sur América antes de la llegada de los españoles.
