The Inca Empire: An Enthralling Overview of the Incas, Their Civilization in Ancient Peru, and the Spanish Conquest
The Spanish Conquest of the Americas: An Enthralling Overview of the Conquistadors and Their Conquests of the Aztec and Inca Empires
For the Incas, death didn't exist; it simply took the dead to a different plane of life. So, the mummies of their emperors were treated as people; they were given food and drink and even visited each other ceremoniously. They also owned country estates, which generated enough profits to keep them in the style to which they were accustomed.
In the first part of this book, you will discover
How the Inca civilization developed out of a number of preceding cultures in the Andes and Peruvian coast;
How quickly the Incas were able to expand and why they needed to;
How the empire was administered and how runners were able to take messages from one end of it to the other with remarkable speed;
The amazing Inca infrastructure program, which included building roads through mountain ranges and across raging rivers;
Why Inca cuisine included tasty guinea pigs and llama jerky;
Why there were never more than a few thousand actual Inca in the Inca Empire;
The religion and beliefs of the Inca and how they developed over time to support the empire's mission;
How just a couple of hundred Spanish adventurers managed to conquer and subdue the Inca Empire;
