Pacha (Inca Mythology)
The pacha (, often translated as ''world'') was an Incan concept for dividing the different spheres of the cosmos in Incan mythology. There were three different levels of ''pacha'': the ''hana pacha'', ''hanan pacha'' or ''hanaq pacha'' (Quechua, meaning "world above"), ''ukhu pacha'' ("world below"), and ''kay pacha'' ("this world").The realms are not solely spatial, but were simultaneously spatial and temporal. Although the universe was considered a unified system within Incan cosmology, the division between the worlds was part of the dualism prominent in Incan beliefs, known as Yanantin. This dualism found that everything which existed had both features of any feature (both hot and cold, positive and negative, dark and light, etc.). Meaning of ''pacha'' ''Pacha'' is often translated as "world" in Quechua, but the concept also includes a temporal context of meaning. Catherine J.

Pacha Kamaq
Pacha Kamaq (Quechua, "Creator of the World"; also Pacha Camac, Pachacamac and Pacharurac) was the deity worshipped in the city of Pachacamac (modern-day Peru) by the Ichma. Pacha Kamaq was believed to have created the first man and woman, but forgot to give them food and the man died. The woman cursed Pacha Kamaq, accusing him of neglect, and Pacha Kamaq made her fertile. Later Pacha Kamaq killed her son and cut the corpse into pieces, each of which became a separate fruit or vegetable plant. The woman's second son, Wichama, escaped, so Pacha Kamaq killed the woman. Wichama sought revenge and drove Pacha Kamaq into the ocean. Tahuantinsuyu adopted Pacha Kamaq when they incorporated the Ichma into their empire. In late Inca mythology he was the father of Inti and Mama Killa, and husband of Mama Pacha.Matthews-Salazar, Patricia.
