Considered the supreme creator god of the Incas, Viracocha (also known as Huiracocha, Wiraqocha, and Wiro Qocha), was revered as the patriarch god in pre-Inca Peru and Incan pantheism. His name was so sacred that it was rarely spoken aloud; instead replaced with others, including Ilya (light), Ticci (beginning) and Wiraqocha Pacayacaciq (instructor).
This reverence is similar to other
religious traditions, including Judaism, in which God’s name is rarely
uttered, and instead replaced with words such as Adonai, Hashem, or Yahweh. Viracocha
is part of the rich multicultural and multireligious lineage and
cosmology of creation myth gods, from Allah, to Pangu, to Shiva. A brief
sampling of creation myth texts reveal a similarity:
