Did You Know? (Ancient Civilizations)

The Inca used quipu devices for recording information.

The Inca used a unique recording device called the quipu, consisting of knotted cords used to store numerical and possibly other types of information, in the absence of a traditional written script. While the numerical functions of many quipu have been reasonably well understood by researchers, some scholars believe certain quipu may have also encoded narrative or historical information, though this remains a subject of ongoing debate. This system reflects an alternative and highly organized method of record-keeping distinct from more familiar written languages.
