Perusino explains: Inti – the sun god of the Incas
Hello, curious sun worshippers! As true as I am from Peru, I'll tell you about the most important boss in the Inca heaven: Inti, the sun god! Imagine you have a giant flashlight that never goes out and warms everything – that's Inti! Without him, the Inca Empire would simply be a freezing darkness with very bad-tempered llamas.
☀️ Who was Inti actually?
For the Incas, Inti was something like the king of the sky. He shone in the sky and ensured that the fields received enough sunlight for the corn to grow. Without corn? Disaster! There would have been no chicha (corn beer), no corn cakes, and no grilled corn on the cob . A tragedy!
🌄 What has Inti been up to?
Every morning, he would get up as if someone had woken him up with a super-loud alarm clock. Then he would put on his golden sun robe and march across the sky to make it day. In the evening, he would finish work and go to sleep on the other side of the world. I bet he lay down in a giant, fluffy bed of clouds.

🏛️ Why was Inti so important to the Incas?
The Incas believed that their ruler, the Sapa Inca , was directly descended from Inti. He was, so to speak, his favorite golden grandson! That's why temples were built for the sun god out of pure gold – because Inti didn't stand on wood or straw. The most famous sun event was Inti Raymi , the great sun festival! There was music, dancing, offerings, and probably the best corn cake of the year. It was a kind of "Happy Birthday, Inti" party with extra sunshine.

⚡ What if Inti was in a bad mood?
If the sun disappeared behind clouds or it rained for a long time, the Incas thought Inti was angry. They would then make special sacrifices to put him in a good mood. He was probably just tired or had drunk too much chicha.
🌞 Why Inti was so special
Inti was the VIP of the Inca gods. Without him, it would not only have been pitch black, but also really cold and boring. So, the next time you see the sun, just say "Thank you, Inti!" – maybe there'll be extra sunshine for you!
