El lago Titicaca: fuente del mundo Andino

This piece is inspired by lake Titicaca in Bolivia and Perú. According to the stories of the Aymara people, lake Titicaca was a dry and flat terrain in remote times. There lived Pura Kalsuna, a small-sized person. He lived at the top of a mountain which helped him survive the Great Andean Flood in which the world flooded and the mountain became Soto island. The nearby dwellers had to pay tributes to him and one day he asked to be given a young couple who became his pupils. God sensed that Pura Kalsuna had the intention of eating his pupils so he unleashed a huge storm but Pura Kalsuna managed to escape it bringing the couple along with him. Lighting struck him and turned him into a rocky island. The couple survived the cataclysm and settled on an island of the lake that gave good harvests. After some time, they left the island to found Cusco and became Mama Ocllo and Manco Cápac. Cusco became the capital of Tahuantisuyo, the Inca empire.
