Astonishing facts about the Quipu (Khipu) . Advanced civilization ! Inca have a form of non-verbal communication written in an encoded language similar to the binary code of today’s computers. Gary Urton, professor of anthropology at Harvard University, has re-analyzed the complicated knotted strings of the Inca -- decorative objects called khipu -- and found they contain a seven-bit binary code capable of conveying more than 1,500 separate units of information. The Khipu Database Project (KDP), begun by Gary Urton, may have already decoded the first word from a quipu—the name of a village, Puruchuco, which Urton believes was represented by a three-number sequence, similar to a ZIP code. Quipu are artifacts of the world’s first three dimensional written language, this is astonishingly sophisticated for a Bronze Age culture. Performing a number of statistical tests for quipu sample VA 42527 (Museum für Völkerkunde, Berlin) one study led by Alberto Sáez-Rodríguez discovered that the distribution and patterning of S- and Z-knots can organize the information system from a real star map in 2 dimensions of the pleiades star cluster.
