Incan gods and goddesses represented a number of shifting and overlapping divine powers. The Incas worshiped a pantheon of nature gods and goddesses. The most important were: Viracocha, Inti, Illapa, Pachamama, Mamacocha, and Mamaquilla. Inti and Viracocha was considered to be omnipotent and the highest gods.

Viracocha : In Inca mythology Viracocha was the creator of universe. He was one of the most important deities in the Inca pantheon. There are many legends on Viracocha. One legend says Inti was his son and Mama Quilla and Pachamaam were his daughters. According to this legend he created a great flood and destroyed the people around Lake Titicaca. He saved only Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo so that they can bring civilization to the world. Afterward Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo founded the Inca civilization.
 

Inti: Inti was the Sun God. Inca believed he was the son of Viracocha. All Inca Emperors were said to descend from this god. Inti is represented throughout Inca culture by the golden sun disk. Inca legend says Inti taught Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo the art of civilization and then he sent them to earth so that they can bring civilization to earth. One legend says Manco Capac was his son, though it is a bit confusing as in another legend Manco Capac was stated as son of Viracocha.
