Who Were The Incas And Where Did They Come From?

The Inca civilization was at least 400 years old at the time Columbus discovered America.
The land of the Incas included what is now Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador,the capital, the Sacred City of the Sun. It was the center of the only world these people knew, and to this city came caravans from every part of the empire with grain, gold and silver, fine cloth, and fresh, green coca leaves.

The Incas were stern but just rulers. They allowed the people they conquered to follow their own customs. The family was the center of government. Each group of ten families had a leader. He reported to a captain who had 50 families under him, and so on up to the Inca, who ruled the empire.

Everyone in the Inca Empire worked, except the very young and the old. Each family had a certain amount of land to farm. The people wove their own clothing, made their own shoes or sandals, their own dishes of pottery, and objects of gold and silver.

The people had no personal freedom: the Inca decided what clothes. they wore, what food they ate, what work they did. The sick, poor, and old were cared for. The Incas were wonderful farmers and grew excellent crops. They built great aqueducts to bring mountain streams down to water their fields.

Many of the buildings which the Incas erected still stand. And they built unusual bridges made of vines and willow branches braided into huge ropes. The people were very skilful at weaving and pottery. They made cotton cloth so fine that the Spaniards thought it was silk, and they made fine clothing of wool. After many centuries of prosperity, the Inca Empire was divided between two half-brothers who began to fight each other. When the Spaniards came, they found it easy to conquer them and destroy the empire.

It is not a question of whom the Incas WERE, but who IS, because Indian people by that name still exist throughout the 1,000-mile length of the Andes.
They are the descendants of the once-mighty Incan empire, the most extensive in precolumbian America.
The ancient Incas achieved a very learned and sophisticated culture -- which shocked the conquistadores when they arrived in the early 16th century.
The Incas had a large leisure class of artisans, merchants, and priests. They excelled in metallurgy, jade carving, astronomy, and textiles. Their gold-working techniques have never been matched.
The culture was "preliterate," lacking a written language. The closest thing they had was a counting device of specially knotted strings called a "quipu."
The Inca (which was originally the name of the ruler, not the entire people) lived a fabulous life in stone palaces attended by pretty virgins. Only the Inca and his retinue could wear garments made from the fur of the vicuna, cousin to the llama.
The Incan capital was Cuzco, at about 12,000 feet above sea level in what is now Peru.
One of the ways the Incan administration ruled its vast holdings was by decreeing that everyone in a village wear the same hat. This is still evident in Indian towns of today.

The Incas were the indigenous people of the Inca Empire, the largest empire in the pre-European Americas and one of the largest empires in the world at the time of its fall. The empire's beginnings were in Peru around 1200, when the city of Cuzco arose - it was to become the capital of the empire. From 1438 to1533 the Incas, through both conquest and peaceful assimilation, incorporated a large chunk of western South America centred on the Andes mountains and including large parts of modern Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. The empire extended over two million kms and numbered 15 million people. Its official language was Quechua and its religion polytheistic, though the sun god Inti was considered supreme.

The last Inca emperor, Atahualpa, was killed in 1533 on the orders of conquistador Francesco Pizarro. This marked the start of Spanish rule and the beginning of the end for the Inca Empire, though independent Inca strongholds survived until 1572.

The Incas were an ancient people who lived in South America. The Inca empire stretched over 300 miles along the Andes mountains, from the present day Ecuador to Chile and Argentina. Originally, Inca was the name given to its chief by a small tribe that settled near Cuzco in Peru in AD 1000.

By the time of the Spanish conquest in 1532, the empire of the Incas had 16 million people in it. It had fine roads and bridges and magnificent cities. The regime of government was a dictatorship but it was very caring for the weak and the poor.

Sadly, the Spanish invasion spelled the end of the Inca empire, which was founded on the belief that the Inca was a god. The Spanish murdered the Inca of the time, and then easily subdued the whole empire because the Inca people were so overwhelmed that they could have killed a god.
