The Inca first appeared in the Andes and what is today southeastern Peru in the 12th century and they gradually built a massive kingdom out of stone. Inca called their empire Tahuantinsuyu, or land of the four quarters. It stretched 2,500 miles from Quito, Ecuador, to beyond Santiago, Chile. The Inca controlled about 10 million people, speaking 100 different languages. At the time it was the largest empire on Earth. The Inca’s official language Quechua. The Incas believed that the god Viracocha created the Earth, Stars and all living things. They believed that he created the sun and moon by plucking them out of an island in Lake Titicaca. Inti was another important god to them. The largest religious Inca event each year was the multi-day
The Incan Empire was the largest empire in the 16th century in South America. The capital was Cusco and the civilization had expand from the west coast of South America, modern day Ecuador, Boilivia, Argentia, and expanded to Peru. The government style was similar to that of socialism. The empire was divided into four provincial governments: Chinchasyu, Antisuyu, Kuntisuyu, and Qullasuyu. Inca Pachacuti had founded the empire and unite all of the kingdoms together. The thrown was then inherited by his decendent, but once the Spanish had reached South America the empire fell. Francisco Pizarro led the spanish into the empire and manipulated the two ruling emperors which then hed him to his victory. After capturing one of the emperors, Pizarro
Long distance trade fell under the supervision of the central government and administrator’s organized exchanges of the agricultural products. The Incas came up with their own writing system called quipu. Quipu consisted of an array of small cords of various and lengths, all suspended from large thick cord, unlike the Aztecs system which was just symbols. The Incan social structure was based upon hereditary aristocrats, consisting of rulers, priests, and peasant cultivators. Like the Aztecs the Incas performed bloodletting rituals, the sacrificial subject was just an animal instead of a human. The Incans considered the sun as a god and as their major deity, called Inti. They also recognized the moon, stars, planets, rain, and other natural forces as divine. Many of the differences between the Aztecs and the Incas benefited the two by becoming successful, striving, powerful regions.
The political composition of the Inca empire was very structured and had many levels; each level controlling another, all coming together to fairly rule the civilization. The first believed ruler of the Inca empire was Manco Capac who conquered and settled the Cuzco Valley around 1200 CE. Capac was the start to an imposing empire in the making. Later on, in the mid 15th century, Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui began “an ambitious, expansionistic empire-building program”. He renovated Cuzco and appears to have consciously revised Inca history so that it would represent and justify the new Inca order (Lockhart, “Inca Empire”). The Inca empire was a bureaucracy where the rulers were chosen by the current emperor or king, Sapa Inca, who was known as the “sole ruler”. He was
The Inca became a tribe in 1200 B.C., in the Cuzco area of southwestern Peru. The other names for the Inca’s were/are Inka, Tahuantinsuyu, or Tawantinsuyu. The Inca’s worshiped gods and nature. They believed in omens and their dreams. the Incas called themselves “ the Children of the Sun.” Around 1438 C.E, under the command of Emperor Pachacuti, the Inca defeated the neighboring Andean tribes. The Inca’s soon laid out the foundations of the Inca Empire.
The Incan society believed in ranks, topmost, including the royal family, the descendant kin of past rulers, the non-royal ethnic Incas, and the Incas by Privilege. Despite the elites prominence, peasant families who lived in towns and villages: farmers, herders, fishers and artisans, made up about 95-98 percent of the population. The Incas called their empire Tawatinsuyu, the “Land of the Four corners”, and its official language was Quechua”. By the time of the Spanish conquest, much of the Inca Empire was made up of numerous non-Inca groups.
In their religion Inti, which is the god of the sun, is their most important god of the many gods in their religion because he is the sun god and he was the saint of empire and conquest. Their religion was also important for their leader because their leader used it in order to validate their status as ruler and to spread the idea of Inca superiority to the people
The Inca Empire, the massive nation that extended 2,500 miles along the western coast of South America and had a population of over 7 million at its peak. It included all of what is now Ecuador and Peru and most of Chile. Known as “The Children of the Sun”, they excelled at craftsmanship, weaving, and culture (“Children of the Sun”). A very religious people, they worshiped the Sun as their supreme god and held religious festivals monthly to appease these gods. Although they did not value it aside from its beautiful appearance, the Inca Empire was home to millions of pounds of solid gold and silver. The Inca had no use for it except to use it to craft decorations and statues. In fact, an Inca citizen valued cloth more than they valued gold
Andean traditions were the Incas traditions to worship. Andean were mostly worship in Chavin and Pachacamac. Andean traditions would worship the sun, star, moon, and planets. Wari civilization and ancient tivanake are part of Andean. Viracocha made the sun, star,and the moon. They believe there were giants on earth. Wiraqocha Pacayacu made the giants. There are no more giants on earth because humans are the smaller form. They thought the world was created at lake Titicaca. Wiraqocha Pacayacu made the world. They had a god that was a beggar. Kon-tiki was the beggar. They made a temple that was called the sun temple. A gold statue of Intl was kept in the temple. They worship Intl Raymi for 8-9 days. The worship started ploughing season. It was held plain outside of Circa. There were sacrifices at the worship and water and chicka

There are many rituals in Inca religion. Some of them are Cannibalism, Capac Raymi/Inti Raymi, Capacocha and the Eight day feast. Cannibalism is the act of a human eating another human’s flesh. Incas believed that by eating other people you would inherit their power, accomplishments and skills of the dead person.
Even though Viracocha was named the creator of the Incas and the important god of the Inca religion, the Incas provided a lot of other layers
Religion played a very important role in the Aztec and Inca culture. Religious rituals consisted of human sacrifice and polytheism. Their deities were inspired by nature and the earth’s physical makeup. Both appear to be similar but peel back the onion and notable differences reveal themselves. It is difficult for modern day society to understand how human sacrifice can exist in such advanced civilizations.
From 1438 to 1535, the Incan Empire made a historical impact. The Incan Empire was located in South America on the western coast in the present countries of Peru. (Tagle.) Three-fourths of the Empire was located within present day Peru. Since the rule of the Empire did descend through familial ties, the ruling emperor was chosen on account by his family dynasty. (Hutagalung.) The empire of the Incas merits importance and note due to its contributing factors of roads, agriculture, and medicine.

When discussing racism, the majority people picture pointy white hoods, hate speech, bigotry, and all the other components of hate that america has forged since its beginning. However, the issue of racism is more complex than that of outright hatred, as its manifests itself into the everyday lives of its victims in more ways than one. Until recently, racism has been noted as an ideology, a system of beliefs that one holds, as one race is deemed superior to the other. As history progressed it became clear that racism was expanded to include the practices, actions and systematic commonalities that affect people of color each and every day. Realizing this, it's becomes clear that it is no accident that the people who work, play and live in the
