The California SBAC test provided sources #1-4. Source #1 is about the discovery of Puebloan buildings and artifacts. Source #2 is about how the Mesa Verde National Park was established to protect the Puebloan artifacts and buildings. Source #3 is about the Inca Empire. Finally, Source #4 is about the farming and the construction techniques of the Incas. The Incan people were a very advanced society, but other civilizations may have influenced them, such as the Pueblos, who set the example for building shelters, roads, and using farming techniques.
First, the Incas were both master builders and stonemasons, and they created and constructed many useful and beautiful buildings, roadways, and walls. The Incas built the site of Machu Picchu in Peru, and its, "City buildings and terraces ... are of the best quality", and, they are still standing today (3). This shows that the Incas were a very sophisticated society who solved their agricultural problems and provided shelter for their people. Also, this indicates that the Incas were very conscious about the quality of their buildings. In addition, the Incas were also superior wall builders because, “ Using bronze chisels and stone hammers they fitted

For example, Pueblo artifacts were found in cliff dwellings in Mesa Verde, Colorado and dated back to AD 1200 (1). This shows that the Publean people could have been the superior builders of their region. This also shows that Pueblo buildings were well preserved. Furthermore, in 1906 the Mesa Verde National Park was established to protect the Puebloan artifacts and buildings (2). This shows that the Puebloan artifacts are incredibly valuable and are worth protecting. Also, this shows that people valued the Puebloan so much that they wanted to protect and preserve them. All in all, the Incas could have been influenced by the

The Inca people’s cultural values were basically the need for survival. They did what they could to survive and live and did not put much thought into a better way of accomplishing that. The Incas was more of a predatory mindset and acted like wild animals. They did not know of a different way of life, so to them this was normal behavior and passed that down through the generations. In “The Children of the Sun” the Inca people were shown how to live as human beings with a purpose more than just survival (“The Children of the Sun” 577). The Inca people learned that they could have a purpose and was educated on how to grow food, make clothing, and build houses (“The Children of the Sun” 577). The Inca people evolved and established a new
The Mayan, Aztec and Incan civilizations each contributed major accomplishments to the world today. These accomplishments established them as advanced societies during their time. The Incans built a large road system, devised a complex irrigation system and developed their own language. The Mayans constructed the largest structure known until modern times, made drastic accomplishments in mathematics, studied astronomy and formed a calendar. The Aztecs built well-organized cities and developed a writing system based on pictures.
No ruins were as good as the Incas they cut stones with block fits exactly that nothing would fit between. The people were also hunters. They invented an advanced water system.

Chaco Canyon, located in what is New Mexico today, closer to Arizona, is one of the archeological sites with many hypothesis and conclusions full of contradiction because of its complexity of what was happening there during Chaco’s economical peak. It is one of the prehistorical places that hold the history of the humans and how complex the organization between social, religious and economical was. The remains of the amazing tall and complex buildings surrounded with roads helped the archeologists to hypothesize the use of those buildings and those roads that surrounded them.

On July 24, 1911 an antiquity site located in the mountains surrounding Cusco, Peru, was rediscovered by explorer Hiram Bingham almost half a century after it was constructed. Since 1911 Machu Picchu has come into prominence as a tourist site because of its interesting history and its mysterious abandonment. Much of Machu Picchu has been restored since its discovery to give tourists a window into what it would have been like to live there at its prime. Machu Picchu was built by the great Inca civilization in 1450 and it is believed that it was used as an imperial retreat for the Inca Emperor. Historians now believe that the abrupt abandonment of Machu Picchu was a result of the Spanish conquest, but one of the reasons that it is so well
Some people don’t know the great and amazing place called Manchu Picchu, which is an old Inca building that many architects admire. Those people don’t know that thousands of tourists and visitors come to look at it, wonder about its past, and to reflect off of it. In source two, the author states that “A world heritage is a place that is amazing. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization support that Machu Picchu is a world heritage.” This shows the reader how important and stunning Machu Picchu was. In this essay we are going to talk about what was so amazing about Machu Picchu, how it affected the environment and how it inspired architects, and how and who made it.
There were several ancient civilizations that built their cultures around their geography. The Incas were among one of those ancient civilizations. They had amazing ingenuity to make use of their environment. The Incas built agriculture terraces and they had a complex irrigation system. And some crops that we use today. The physical environment of the Incas affected and shaped their civilization.
Before Christopher Columbus reached the Americas in 1492 CE, the Aztecs and Incas had existed there for hundreds of years. They were fairly isolated peoples, who thrived in Central and South America respectively. The Aztec and Inca have different ancestral backgrounds; the Aztecs claim to be descendants of the Toltecs2 while the Incas were a series of separate tribes that joined together3. Trade between the Aztec and Inca were rare4, but they were mostly self-sustaining. However, they both conquered mass empires and build large temples. Why was their conquest so successful, and what
1. Before Francisco Pizarro began the Spanish conquest in 1532, the Incan empire dominated the Andes Mountain region. An emperor who demanded strict obedience ruled the land. All business was run by the state, which could draft citizens for its projects. The Inca, terracing the landscape and irrigating the crops, farmed the mountainsides. The Inca were brilliant engineers, whose roadways included bridges. The city of Machu Picchu is an example of their skill with tools like the plumb bob and wooden roller, which they used for in heavy construction. Hundreds of years after their civilization was subdued by the Spanish, the descendants of the once-dominate Incas make up about 50 percent of Peru’s population.
Have you ever wondered what it is like living on streets paved with gold? Well, the Inca had it pretty close. Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizzaro landed in Peru in 1532, and found unimaginable riches. The streets were not paved with gold- but their temples were. This empire was the largest empire on Earth of it 's time, but it was a brittle empire held together only by promises and threats. The true history of the Inca is still being written today.
The Incan people were extremely skilled at constructing structures. In Machu Picchu, there were about two hundred buildings which included residences, temples, storage, and other public buildings. They had rectangular floors, steep thatched roofs, and trapezoidal doors. Some of them called masmas had three walls. The buildings either had one or two stories. They did not use any mortar to hold the bricks. Instead, they used cut stones, geometry and joints. Structures were so well built that they withstood earthquakes and many centuries. No other civilization in the ancient world could cut and assemble stone blocks so perfectly.
