Guided Practice: Quipus: A 500 year old nemonic device

The quipu is a "writing" system at least 500 years old and composed of strings and knotted cords, that likely included genealogical, astronomical, economic, and (possibly!) literary records of the Inka, and perhaps their predecessors. But it is a communication system without a Rosetta stone. Sometimes called talking knots, they were recording devices used in the Inca Empire and its predecessor societies in the Andean region. The cords contained numeric and other values encoded by knots and beads.
