Huallallo Carhuincho vs Pariacaca

The fearsome earlier god of the Huarochirí stories, who ruled a hot lowland world and demanded one of every two children as food, until Pariacaca's storms drove him east into the Antis lowlands.

No origin is told; he is simply lord of the land after defeating the huacas Yanamca and Tutañamca (Huarochirí Manuscript, ch. 1).

The Huarochirí material opens with a world before the present one, when the province was hot lowland (*yunca*) country, the dead returned to life on the fifth day, and crops ripened in five days. Its lord was Huallallo Carhuincho, who had defeated the still earlier huacas Yanamca and Tutañamca. Ávila's retelling (1608) says he ordered that no woman should bear more than two children, one of whom was to be given him to eat.

The snow-mountain god of the Huarochirí Manuscript, born from five eggs on Mount Condorcoto, who drowns a village that refused him drink, brings irrigation water to the fields of Cupara, and drives the fire-eating Huallallo Carhuincho out of the highlands.

Pariacaca appears on the mountain Condorcoto as five eggs, which hatch into five falcons and then five men (Huarochirí Manuscript, chs. 5-6).

The Quechua Huarochirí Manuscript (c. 1598-1608) makes Pariacaca the central huaca of the Checa and other peoples of Huarochirí province, in the mountains east of Lima. He appears on the mountain Condorcoto as five eggs; the eggs hatch as five falcons that become five persons, and the manuscript itself debates whether these were five brothers or Pariacaca and his children (ch. 16). His son Huatyacuri, a poor man who eats only half-cooked potatoes, prepares his coming by humbling a rich lord who claimed to be a god.
