The Kingdom of the Condor

In Andean cultures, the condor is believed to rule the upper world of the skies and heavens, and birds in general are considered to be the creatures closest to the gods. I do not presume to fully understand Andean cultures, but I can grasp why the one animal able to soar above the Cordillera would be considered divine, much like many of the natural wonders that only they can see from above.
