Read a Rope: Quipos, the Ancient Incan Books - On the Same PAge

Thursday, Oct. 23rd, 7 p.m. at the Lee Road Branch of Heights Libraries

One of the earliest record-keeping tools, quipos use knotted rope instead of written numbers and letters. Robin Pease will introduce these little-known implements and teach participants how to read them (and, if time permits, create their own). Registration is required and opens Oct 9. Part of both the On the Same Page and Octavofest programs.
