The Encyclopedia of Mythology is a series of one-time classes that explores the sacred stories of various past and present cultures, as well as how those stories fit into secular society. Take one course, take them all, and in any order you choose!

The Maya, the Aztec, the Inca... they're all extremely similar, and basically the same, right? Of course not! While these groups overlapped geographically and chronologically in several areas, the cultural and religious practices of each were diversely unique.

In this section of Encyclopedia of Mythology, we'll explore the anthropology of Ancient Inca religion, including the importance of the night sky and the stars, deities and religious diversity in the empire, as well as the effect of Spanish conquest on native cultural and religious practices. The class will begin with a brief discussion about what learners might already know, followed by an interactive lecture with accompanying visual aids. At the end of the class, we'll review and discuss our findings and try to relate them to other cultures throughout history, to explore how connected all human beings really are!
