Sapa Inca

The Inca Empire was a complex society with an estimated population of ten million people. They had vast cities, exquisite temples, an advanced government and a detailed tax system. The Incas were even the first to cultivate the potato in Peru. Even though they were not as advanced as many empires in their time they still had their own technologies. Some of their technologies were invented by others, but they helped perfect them. This is how the Incas were one of the most technologically advanced

At the time of their demise, the Incan Empire had nearly as many domesticated plant species as all of Eurasia. There was no sign of the wheel or work animals that could be yoked to a plow, and the Incans had limited use of metallurgy. Yet the mighty South American empire terraced, irrigated, and produced enough food for millions of people. The Incans were able to sustain agricultural surpluses by intensive exploitation of the land and sophisticated methods of storage and dispersal of grains and tubers

Due to this sudden lack of leadership two of his other sons jumped into action to claim the throne. One, the favored son, Atahualpa ruled in the north, and his older half brother, Huascar, ruled

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

Throughout unit two we looked at many different societies, not in Europe. While there were many influential civilizations in Europe during this time, there was also many civilizations making major advancements as well. There were three things that really caught my eye and these were the Ming Dynasty, Incan Society, and Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital.
