Incas viewed the milky way as a celestial river

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Looking up at the night sky, the Incas didn't see a galaxy of stars; they saw Mayu, a massive, glowing river flowing through the heavens. They firmly believed this stellar water source circulated moisture throughout the entire universe, providing essential spiritual hydration to the earth and feeding dark constellation animals hidden in the cosmic dust.
