    Khipus were recording devices used by the Incas consisting of knots tied in colored strings that are now being decoded. Researchers have determined that the knots represent numbers and some strings held narrative information. One study found that a khipu from Peru recorded data about tribute paid in cacao beans and held the name of the person who collected the tribute.
