And that's just this list :-)
So tell me then how to read the information from a
Quipu.
It's a simple device: just a bunch of multi-colored knotted
string. If you can figure this out, there's a huge community
of archaeologists who study the Incas who would erect a
permanent shrine for you to celebrate your name for all
eternity.
The shrine may last a long time but within a few hundred
years they'll just forget how to read for whom it was
erected!
