Where does knots come from?
Knots is the form of measurement of the speed of boats. It was originally measured by a board being dropped in the water with a rope tied to it, the other end of the rope was tied to the stern of the boat. This rope had knots tied into it at 14.4 meters apart. The one sailor would use a 30 second glass sand timer while another would let the rope out behind the boat. When 30 seconds were up the number of knots on the rope that had gone thru the sailors hands were the speed they were traveling. Dividing that 14.4 meters by 30 seconds told them that one knot equaled 1.85166 kilometers per hour, or one nautical mile.

What were the Mayan's Inca's and Aztec's government systems?
Inca Government The Inca empire was like a pyramid with the Sapa Inca at the top. The empire was divided into 4 regions ruled by men called opas. Below them there were more layers of government. To help rule their vast empire the Incas created an efficient network of roads. The Incas also made rope suspension bridges. As well as the roads the Incas had messengers called chasquis. Messages were carried by relay. Groups of messengers lived in houses by main roads and at all times two of them kept lookout. If they saw another messenger approaching one of them would run to meet him. The two messengers would run together for a while and the message was passed on from one man to the other. Using this relay system messages could be sent over long distances very quickly. Inca messengers could take messages 240 kilometres in one day. Furthermore although they never invented writing the Incas kept records with a device called a quipu. It was a cord with strings of different thickness and colours hanging from it. Knots were tied at different positions in the strings. The colour and thickness of the strings and the positions of the knots all meant something. The Incas did not have prisons. Instead for serious crimes such as murder, stealing and blasphemy offenders were executed by being pushed off a cliff. Less serious crimes were punished by cutting off the hands or blinding.

Can knots exist in a rope that is taut?
Yes, but a knot that is present inline in a taut rope weakens the rope. No rope or line should be used with a knot in it for this reason.
