Important Places
Inca cosmology was ordered in three spatio-temporal levels or Pachas. These included:
- Uku Pacha ("the lower world") was located within the earth's surface.
- Kay Pacha was the world in which we live.
- Hanan Pacha ("higher world") was the world above us where the sun and moon lived.

Famous quotes containing the words important and/or places:
“It is not so important that many should be good as you, as that there be some absolute goodness somewhere; for that will leaven the whole lump.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But those rare souls whose spirit gets magically into the hearts of men, leave behind them something more real and warmly personal than bodily presence, an ineffable and eternal thing. It is everlasting life touching us as something more than a vague, recondite concept. The sound of a great name dies like an echo; the splendor of fame fades into nothing; but the grace of a fine spirit pervades the places through which it has passed, like the haunting loveliness of mignonette.”
—James Thurber (1894–1961)
