As far back as 8,000 years ago, people in the Andes wove fabrics that were more than just clothing. Each pattern, each color had a meaning - like a secret language.
During the time of the Incas, this art reached a peak. This powerful ancient civilization valued fine fabrics more than shining gold! Each thread contained a story about faith, rank, and connection to nature.
