MILLONES, Luis. Mesianism in Hispanic America: The Taki Onqoy Movement. Mem. am. [online]. 2007, n.15, pp.7-39. ISSN 1851-3751.

This paper summarizes the new dimension of study of taki onqoy, the messianic movement. In the sixteenth century people thought it was limited to the Obispado del Cuzco. After the source Informe al Rey of Bartolomé Alvarez was published we know nowadays that in Oruro a ritual of the same name and similar traits was discovered. Taki onqoy is one of the earliest messianic movements of the Andean region, if we take into account those happening after the European invasion. Its importance grows because its ideology addresses to gods not known by the Incas and, at the same time, emphasizes minor deities of Tahuantinsuyu. Additionally it neglects the power of Inti, the solar god and divine father of the ruling dynasty.
