May 14, 2013 Mrs. McAulay Global 9H The Aztec and Inca Empires arose 1000 to 1500 century C.E. in Mesoamerica and South America. The Aztecs arrived in central Mexico approximately the fifteenth century. The Incas settled in the region around Lake Titicaca about mid-thirteenth century and by the late fifteenth century, the Incas had built an enormous empire stretching more the 4,000 kilometers.

Huge stones make up Machu Picchu

For my research paper, I decided to study the Incan Empire. My research will show the Incan culture and how they lived, built their cities, and farmed. I wanted to encompass as much of the Incan Empire as I could, to better highlight what made them such a great Empire at their peak, and how they declined. By studying their growth and decline, we can learn why past civilizations decline and how we can possibly prevent this for current civilizations. About the Incans The Incans had a massive territory

The Lost Inca Indian Culture Most historians recognize the fact that the empire of the Incas in Peru was one of the great civilizations that was lost due to the expansion of the Europeans into the New World. The Incas were once an empire boasting with riches and controlling a large portion of the west coast of South America.

The piece of art that I’ve decided to do this research paper on is a ceremonial Inca Vase with Jaguar Handles. It is a popular vase within Inca ceramics. The Inca were a group of indigenous people who were possibly the world’s largest empire located in modern day Peru. They used a variety of craftsmanship, the most popular being the polychrome technique which portrayed a number of animals, waves, birds, and felines (Hood, 2017). These images were carried on throughout the Chavin culture and geometric

The Aztec and Inca Empires I step down from the Aztecs. (Voyages into World History Vol 1 3rd edition, Chapter 15, PPT slide 27) It was rare that they would sacrifice a human; it would be more common to see a goat or other animals be sacrificed. They would only sacrifice a human during a famine, war, etc. Though both empires were very stanch and devout to their religion, the Aztec had the more powerful religion.

Th e first main topic we are going to be discussing is the topic of religion in every culture and the ways their beleifs of gods change.

compared to the other empires during this time, but this complex strategy ended up being the most effective plan. Envisioned by the Inca emperor Pachacuti, the new system of government and hierarchy would allow the Inca empire to expand, yet still be controlled. The different strategy led to the rapid progression of the Inca Empire from Chile to Colombia 1. The Inca empire in many ways was an innovative society, with many different techniques in social class, government, expansion, and socioeconomics
