Line 18:
The [[Willaq Umu]] was the high priest of the Sun (Inti). His position placed him as the second most powerful person in the kingdom. He was directly underneath the Sapa Inca, and they were often brothers. The emperor and his family were believed to be descended from Inti.<ref name=peru>Bushnell 1957, pg. 131</ref>
A great golden disk representing Inti was captured by the Spanish [[conquistadors]] in 1571 and was sent to the [[pope]] via Spain. It has since been lost.
