The Inca Empire did not use any form of writing that we are familiar with today. They used a special type of record-keeping called a Quipu. A Quipu consisted of various knots and cords, storing its information in the cord colour, length, type of knot, location of knot, and what direction the cord was twisted.

The system of writing was primarily developed by the Maya civilization. The Maya used a complex system of hieroglyphics to record their history, religion, and daily life. In contrast, the Aztecs had a form of pictorial writing, but it was not as sophisticated as the Maya's. The Incas, on the other hand, did not have a writing system; they relied on quipus, which were knotted strings used for record-keeping and communication.
