This article aims to reveal how a new history of Tawantinsuyu based in primary data can be written. This is the world about which Sabine McCormack wrote relevant essays with extraordinary erudition. In short, my argument defends that main khipus information refers to administrative or official statistics; so we’ll be able to write a real indigenous history of the Inka empire, specially if we redefine History, that is, if History is consists of more than just great men and great battles, if History can be written as a memory relationship of Economy, Demography and Society with Natural Environment.Se plantea cómo deberíamos repensar la naturaleza y el contenido de la información «histórica» contenida en los quipus y, a partir de esta nueva forma de acercarnos al contenido de estos artefactos, cómo me parece que podríamos escribir una historia del Tahuantinsuyo basada en fuentes primarias, materia sobre la que Sabine MacCormack escribió importantes ensayos con deslumbrante erudición. En pocas palabras, mi argumento es que la mayor parte de la información contenida en los quipus se refiere a estadísticas administrativas; por lo tanto, si repensamos la naturaleza de la historia –esto es, que ella no se ocupa de grandes hombres y batallas importantes, sino más bien de la economía, la demografía y la relación que la sociedad mantiene con el medio ambiente–, podremos efectivamente escribir una historia indígena del Imperio Inca.  Universidad Católica San Pablo2019-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiondossierapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucsp.edu.pe/index.php/Allpanchis/article/view/26310.36901/allpanchis.v46i83-84.263Allpanchis; Vol. 46 Núm. 83/84 (2019): Homenaje a Sabine MacCormack; 13-38Allpanchis; Vol. 46 No. 83/84 (2019): Tribute to Sabine MacCormack; 13-382708-89600252-883510.36901/allpanchis.v46i83-84reponame:Revistas - Universidad Católica San Pabloinstname:Universidad Católica San Pabloinstacron:UCSPspahttps://revistas.ucsp.edu.pe/index.php/Allpanchis/article/view/263/299Derechos de autor 2019 Gary Urtonhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistas.ucsp.edu.pe:article/2632022-05-25T13:46:15Z
