Viracocha
Viracocha was the great creator deity in the pre-Inca and Inca mythology of the Andes region of South America. He was seen as the creator of all things, or the substance from which all things are created, and was intimately associated with the sea.
Viracocha created the universe, sun, moon, and stars, time (by commanding the sun to move over the sky) and civilization itself. He was worshipped as god of the sun and of storms. He was represented as wearing the sun for a crown, with thunderbolts in his hands, and tears descending from his eyes as rain.
