Quipus consist of strings with knots of different colors, sizes, and positions. Each knot and string represents a different piece of information such as numbers, dates, events, or records. Reading a quipu involves interpreting the positions, colors, and types of knots to understand the encoded information.
The quipu rope was what carried messages for the Inca.
Such person is called a Quipucamayuc, which can be translated along the lines of 'He who possesses the power to read the knots'.
