What Does Quipu Mean?
A quipu is an ancient Incan database, consisting of knotted, colored cords tied to a main cord. The sequence and type of knots tied on a cord represent numerical data such as the crops grown, taxes collected, the output of local mines, or the number of workers in a particular village. Some scholars believe that quipus also tell full stories and histories and were a replacement for the written word.
