Mayta Capac was referred to as the reformer of the calendar.[4] The chroniclers describe him as a great warrior who conquered territories as far as Lake Titicaca, Arequipa, and Potosí. While in fact, his kingdom was still limited to the valley of Cuzco. In 1134,[citation needed] Mayta Cápac put the regions of Arequipa and Moquegua under the control of the Inca empire.
His great military feat was the subjugation of Alcabisas and Culunchimas tribes.[3]: 43
