Pachacámac, or “creator of the Earth,” was a god capable of predicting the future, venerated by the Inca Empire in the Andes (Peru). Yellow, red and white are at least three colors with which, between the 8th and 9th centuries, the Wari civilization painted a resistant wooden statue of more than two meters as a symbol of worship of this idol. The polychrome identified on this icon of Peruvian archeology constitutes today the only example identified with such a variety of colors, according to the study that It is published this Wednesday in the scientific journal PLOS ONE.
