3. The Incas Empire was located on the western side of south America. Although the Empire was huge, it can be easily divided into three geographical regions….. Mountains Jungles And Deserts

4. Incan tall tales! Since the Incas never developed a system of writing, archaeologists must study….. Myths Legends And the religious objects they left behind for clues about the ancient Inca civilization. Also, human sacrifice. polytheistic/ believed in many or more than one god. The Inca calendar was important to the religious reasons festivals.

5. The Incan calendar was important to the ancient Incas for religious reasons festival. The Incan calendar was divided into 12 months. Each month was divided into 3 weeks. Each week was divided into 10 days. Ancient Incas used makers that told them when a new month was beginning. (used the position of the sun.) Also made musical instruments. (Incans love music.)

6. At first, the Incas were simply a small tribe that lived in the city of CUZCO. They worshiped gods of nature. They believed in omens and dreams. Around 1430 C.E, a neighboring tribe attacked the Incas. The Incas won!! That was the beginning of the Inca Empire.

7. The Sapa ruled everything. He made all the laws. Everything was the responsibility of Sapa Inca, and nothing could be done until the Sapa Inca approved it. How did the Sapa Inca rule 12 million people all by himself? THAT’S EASY!!!!!! HE DIDN’T. The Sapa Inca organized his government in a pyramid.

8. The society of the Inca Empire was centered in what is now Peru, from 1438 BC to 1533 AD. Over that period, the Inca used conquest and peaceful assimilation to incorporate in their empire a large portion of western South America, centered on the Andean mountain ranges. The Inca empire proved short-lived: by AD 1533, Atahualpa, the last Inca emperor, called Sapa Inca, was killed on the orders of the conquistador Francisco Pizarro, marking the beginning of Spanish rule.Inca EmpirePeruAndeanAtahualpaSapa IncaconquistadorFrancisco Pizarro

9. The Incas loved stories. Special "wise men" created stories that were told over and over. Their battles were always bigger than life. The Incas believed in many gods. Some of their stories were about the wondrous feats of their gods. One Incan myth refers to an old man with long white hair, who was really a god. This god lived in a coal sack (the Milky Way). He created the Incan people. Another popular myth tells a story about Manco Capac and Inti, the sun god. In that myth, the sun god created the Incan people. The story of Manco Capac is still told in Peru today.

10. The common people were organized into groups. Each group was like a family unit. There were 10-20 people in each unit. Each unit was called an ayllu. Within each ayllu, each person had a specific job to do.Common people had no freedom. They could not own or run a business. They could not own luxury goods. The only items common people could have in their homes were things they needed to do their job.
