Excerpt from Aboriginal Myths and Traditions Concerning the Island of Titicaca, Bolivia Oviedo says of Cuzco To this land there came in ancient times anciently] a great lord with a people they call Inga, and now they call themselves Big Ears orejones] and only the Supreme Lord they call Inga. This lord they call Inga peopled the Cuzco. (5) This indicates that the first Spaniards who came in contact with the Peruvian Indians understood them to believe and say that the Incas were not originally from the valley of Cuzco.
