		<description><![CDATA[Gary Urton. The investigator from Harvard University reveals the latest results of his investigations of the meaning of the quipu.

As I explained in this previous post, the quipu (or khipu) is a fascinating communication device used in the pre-Columbian world for everything from accounting and record keeping to, it is believed, recording detailed text... names, words, a full written language not in symbols but in lengths of string and knots tied at points along them.]]></description>

You can see examples in museums across Peru and collections throughout the world.]]></description>
