Inca Empire
Shelf by nono umasy
The Inca Empire, flourishing in South America from the early 15th century until its conquest by the Spanish in the 16th century, was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. Renowned for its sophisticated administrative, agricultural, and architectural achievements, the Incas developed a vast network of roads, terraces, and impressive structures like Machu Picchu. Centered in Cusco, the empire extended across parts of modern-day Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia. The Incas excelled in weaving, metallurgy, and ceramics, and they implemented a unique system of record-keeping using quipus (knotted strings). Their society was highly organized, with a strong central government led by the Sapa Inca. The arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, led by Francisco Pizarro, brought about the empire's demise, but the legacy of Inca civilization remains a significant part of South American history and culture.
