The Ancient Aztec and Inca Empires believed that Gold was the sweat on Inti (Ancient Sun God), and silver was the tears of Mama Quilla ( The Ancient Moon Goddess). Gold and Silver ever since was considered to be of high value but for the Incan Empire, they considered fine clothing more valuable. Gold and Silver were used as ornaments and decorations in Incan Temples.
