Incas

I will be studying abroad this fall in Cuzco, Peru, also known as the land of the Incas. While there, I will be attending classes at the Universidad de San Ignacio Loyola (USIL). Peru, specifically Cuzco, offers many opportunities to focus on, and learn more for both of my majors, earth science, and anthropology. Cuzco is located high in the Andes Mountains where I’ll be able to get a better understanding for the geological history and processes of the area. The people boast a rich history of their

trip went back to the year ca. 1300,and took place within the Americas, directing the traveler back into the civilization of the Incas. After a visit of three days, Brown returned with an extensive knowledge of the Inca people and life. This article covers both the knowledge that was proven, and the knowledge that was gained from this incredible historic moment. The Inca civilization ran along the Pacific coast of South America, from Ecuador to across the Andes. They were an incredibly governed society

in. Of the Aztec, Incan, and Mayan civilizations, the best possible civilization to live in would have to be the Inca, mainly because they didn’t practice slavery. The Mayans and Aztecs were worse because they had slaves, which didn’t have many rights or privileges. Of the three Mesoamerican civilizations - Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans - I’d prefer to belong to the Inca because the Inca lived in a completely different area, didn’t practice slavery, and had an established government with only one ruler

Incas versus the Aztecs and Mayans 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.

Inca war strategy was generally to split their army into three groups of warriors, each group specializing in a different type of weapon. Inca warriors were trained extensively, starting at the age of sixteen. Every Inca man was required to serve as a warrior. Training lasted for three to four years, and each man was trained in the use of all weapons. at the end of the training

it was ridding the world of heretics worshiping Gods of blood. The Aztec and Inca Empires fell with relative ease to the Spaniards due to a variety of contributing factors. Hesitate action from leadership may have played a role at least for the Aztecs as according to Hernan Cortez; Moctezuma believed that he possibly was a God. Superior weaponry such as steel based weapons/armor played a significant role, as both the Inca and Aztec empires still relied on weapons made from stone and wood. European
