The Ancient Quipu or Peruvian Knot Record by L. Leland Locke is a detailed exploration of the quipu, a unique and complex system of record-keeping used by the ancient Incas of Peru. The quipu consisted of a series of knotted strings, each with a specific color, length, and placement, that were used to record numerical data, historical events, and other important information. In this book, Locke delves into the history and significance of the quipu, examining its origins, development, and use throughout Inca society. He also explores the various theories and interpretations surrounding the quipu, including its potential use as a form of written language. The Ancient Quipu or Peruvian Knot Record is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and culture of the Inca civilization, as well as for those interested in the development of ancient record-keeping systems. With its detailed analysis and rich historical context, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into one of the most unique and intriguing aspects of Inca culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
