The human race was believed to have been created at Lake Titicaca, a sacred place for the Inca people, and before them, the Andean people. Wiraqoca Pacayacaciq, the creator God, made a race of giants, however, he found these too large. He made a race of humans on a smaller scale, however he was upset with their arrogance and greed, and turned some into stone and others into natural land features. He wiped the Earth clean with a great flood, leaving three humans with intentions for them to recreate the human race.
