Inca In Peru

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.

Throughout the semester we learned about various civilizations but that one that caught my attention were the Incas. The reason why it did was because of the sense of community they had in their civilization. After reading this article called “Daily Life in the Inca Empire” by Mark Cartwright. I learn from the article that family was a very important component of the Inca society. The reason why it was important because everybody would have each other back and they would try to keep their families close together with work and marriage. I found it pretty cool how the Incas in way were compared to the Egyptians cause they used the mummification method for their dead. Also they were compared to the Europeans for their sumptuary laws, which forbade

The Inca’s were excellent builders whose stone buildings and roads helped them become great builders in their town. They were great farmers and headers, could make items and they were great scholars in many areas such as doctors, surgeons, and teachers. After the Europeans’ came and took over this brought a end to the thousands of years of the Inca way of

Built at the height of the Inca empire, Machu Picchu is not only one of the world’s most stunning man-made wonders, but possibly the most well-known relic of the Americas’ most powerful civilization. At the time the structure was built, the Incas ruled the largest nation in the world ; it covered much of South America's west coast and its borders stretched from present day Colombia, southward to the border of modern day Chile. The empire thrived from the twelfth to the fifteenth century until the Spanish conquest in 1572. Although the empire expanded at a rapid speed and covered abundantly diverse areas, Incan emperors effectively unified their empire and maintained legitimacy both socially and politically, by employing unique organizational

Inca Empire, which contributed languages, as well as promoted irrigated farms, and buildings and roads composed of stones

They were also very good as carving rock to they would fit together perfectly, which was the main style of buildings there. End the end, the Incas provided a way of life in the mountains that was truly spectacular.

Ancient Society benefited from their skills as builders and artists. In Source four, “ They constructed thousands of miles of roads to link all parts of their vast empire.” This shows that South America, Inca Empire makes fine resistant buildings. The Incas are most popular for their architecture and constructed finely done buildings. Also, in the Western part of South America it was difficult to farm there. The Incas had plenty of solutions.

They lived 200 years and in the early 1000th century. The Inca leader was Sapa Inca. The Inca government was called the Tawantinsuyu. It was a monarchy ruled by a single leader called the Sapa Inca. Atahuallpa, the 13th and last emperor of the Incas, dies by strangulation at the hands of Francisco Pizarro's Spanish conquistadors. When Francisco Pizarro's Spanish conquistadors came, the execution of Atahuallpa, the last free reigning emperor, marked the end of 300 years of Inca civilization. As you can tell, these similarities and differences are not all the

lands and sometimes on building projects or in mining.” (World of the Inca). Thus the Inca expected

The Inca Empire, the massive nation that extended 2,500 miles along the western coast of South America and had a population of over 7 million at its peak. It included all of what is now Ecuador and Peru and most of Chile. Known as “The Children of the Sun”, they excelled at craftsmanship, weaving, and culture (“Children of the Sun”). A very religious people, they worshiped the Sun as their supreme god and held religious festivals monthly to appease these gods. Although they did not value it aside from its beautiful appearance, the Inca Empire was home to millions of pounds of solid gold and silver. The Inca had no use for it except to use it to craft decorations and statues. In fact, an Inca citizen valued cloth more than they valued gold

The incas rose in 1438, they fell in 1533. They suffered the attacks of Spanish conquerors such as Spaniard Francisco Pizarro (1475-1541) and the spread of small box. At the peak of power the civilization extended 4,000 km (2,500 miles) and included 16 million people. They were extremely advanced, had an army, laws, roads, bridges, and tunnels. Inca’s were the most advanced civilization because of their government, agriculture, architecture and technology compared to the Aztecs and Mayans.

Who were the Inca? Little information pertaining to the Inca Empire has kept a significant aspect of Latin American history shrouded in mystery. With an estimated population of between 15-20 million inhabitants, the Inca should be viewed as prime example of what the Americas were like prior to the Spanish domination of their empire (Martin 41). This means an in depth understanding of whom the Inca are must be accomplish before understanding specific aspects of Inca culture. With so many aspects of the Inca Empire being undocumented, this paper will primarily focus on and give new insight into Inca music, a rarely discussed topic. The paper will see if music of the Inca lives on and how Inca customs have been radically altered from outside sources ranging from religious institutions, foreign nations, and slaves being brought over from Africa. Cultural influences have affected Inca music and have transformed their music into something it never was initially.

The Incas Empire began around 1200 and lasted until the Spanish arrival in 1532. They were the largest civilization in pre-Columbia with a territory of 380,000 square miles and a population of about 7 million. Around 1400 the empire began its expansion stretching along the western coast of

Perhaps more than 12 million people contributed to the creation of sprawling cities, terraced farmlands, extended roadways, and golden palaces. The Inca empire covered nearly 2,500 miles and included regions of present-day Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, and Argentina. Although, like other native peoples throughout the Americas, they did not have their own written language or the use of the wheel, the Incas were extremely intelligent engineers. They built huge stone structures without mortar and designed suspension bridges that crossed deep mountain

Every great civilization can be remembered for their architecture, such as the Roman Colosseum, the Egyptian Pyramids, and the Jewish Temple, and the Incas are no different. The Incas were an advanced civilization that had similar ideologies to modern people and created innovative mechanical objects. From their architecture to their irrigation systems, the Incas put a lot of thought into it. The Incan architecture has been one of the most fascinating, intriguing and mysterious designs and placements. The Inca civilization can be considered as one of the best civilizations of Mesoamerica. Alike many civilizations in the world, the Incas developed an irrigation system and a government system. After all, Incas created a civilization on the mountains.
