Spondylus were regarded by the Peruvian Incas as a specific weather symbol. Spondylus gave the villagers a warning that an "El Nino" current was coming. El Nino currents have a tremendous impact not only around the pacific coast but around the world as well. El Nino has been the cause of either severe drought or extreme flooding worldwide. Therefore, the Incas were warned when these El Nino events were going to occur so that they could take the necessary steps to survive whatever was coming.
