Hundreds of years ago on the west coast of what is now South America, rapidly growing Indigenous communities innovated with agriculture, architecture, and astronomy. Quipus —complex woven clothing made of multicolored fibers, beads, and knots— were among the few physical systems of recording knowledge. 

They were used as social identifiers, records of knowledge, and complex computational tools. However, upon exposure to Spanish colonizers who brought disease and governmental interference, Indigenous leaders burnt warehouses of 

Quipus in effort to protect long-held secrets. The full extent of their use is still unknown.
