Knotted string communication is called "khipu" (or "quipu"). It was an ancient Inca method of record-keeping and communication that used variously colored strings and knots to convey information, such as numerical data and possibly narrative content. Khipus served as a sophisticated system for managing administrative and economic records in the Inca Empire.
