Even though they have simmiliraties there are some outstanding differences, Manco Capac was born in tambutoco, on the contrary, Atahualpa was born in Quito, but there are some writers that say he was born in Cuzco. when they died they were converted in mommies for memmory, Manco Capac was the founder of Cuzco, on the contrary Atahualpa was just an emperor .
