  1. Oh, wow. That is very cool. It's always puzzled me that such a civilization didn't have any kind of "written" records. When I first read about khipus, it was a bit disappointing that they only seemed numerical.

    It will be interesting to see what this new key code does to our understanding of the Inca.
