The Incan quipu system remains one of historys great unsolved puzzles. Recent AI-assisted decoding suggests quipus may contain narrative histories, not just accounting. If confirmed, the Spanish destruction of quipus was not just cultural suppression but the burning of an entire literary tradition. Of 1,000 surviving quipus, only 100 have been digitized at high resolution. Citizen scientists can help transcribe via the Quipu Digital project.
