    NAVIGATION TIP:

    Use the Firefox browser with the CoolPreview add on. CoolPreview will give a magnifying glass icon at every link when you put your cursor on the link. Click on the icon and it will open a separate, smaller window with the definition of the term in it. You can either lock the window by clicking the padlock icon in the top bar of the little window, or move your cursor off the window and it will automatically close. This is almost as good as mouseovers.

He had magical powers to make water flow from stone and the imprint of his feet could be seen even in hard rock. As he made his way north through the Andean foothills, he inspired universal veneration and acquired the name of Ticci Wiracocha. IAWS The name of a Light Being from Lake Titicaca. His face is carved in the side of the mountain at Ollantaytambo in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. IGMP
