TANODI, Branka. ALTERNATIVE SCRIPTURES IN THE CENTRAL ANDES. Rev. Fuent. Cong. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.65, pp. 33-39. ISSN 1997-4485.

Most studies on the cultures that developed in the Central Andes before the conquest, didn't take care of the writing of these towns, considering that the native ethnic groups had not developed any graphism, except for the quipus. The chroniclers were the first who denied the existence of writing. They point it by saying, "they don't have letters"; before the own ignorance that these had their antecedents in signs that in past times responded to non-alphabetical codes, and were executed on supports different from paper.
