About Inca

The Inca Empire, officially known as the Realm of the Four Parts, was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. The administrative, political, and military center of the empire was in the city of Cusco. The Inca civilisation rose from the Peruvian highlands sometime in the early 13th century. The Portuguese explorer Aleixo Garcia was the first European to reach the Inca Empire in 1524. Later, in 1532, the Spanish began the conquest of the Inca Empire, and by 1572 the last Inca state was fully conquered.

The Incas had a cool communist kind of a system with guano, where every town, every Inca town was assigned its own guano island, and then every household in the town was assigned its own bit of guano or a bit of share of that island.

Other times Inca came up

  1. No. Because I was wondering if that's why our empire wasn't so big, because we can never get a relay team that can get that on the Olympics. You just keep dropping it. The Inca, obviously, they were taken out, and there are no longer any sappers. There is a descendant of a Sapa Inca, or the Inca emperor, who is still in power to this day. Wow.

  2. Depending on how you feel about it. Basically, what you need to do, if you're in the Inca society, you gather 50 to 60,000 people, quite a lot, you surround the llama plane, you all join arms and you slowly move in. You move in, you corral the lamas into a smaller and smaller space, and then people enter the, you know, the killing. zone with slings and bollasses and lassus and stuff I guess and you would get up to 30,000 llamas in a single days hunting that way.

  3. Have some smallpox. Have loads of murder. According to the Spanish records, they killed 7,000 Inca without themselves having one single fatality, which you can't believe would actually be true, but that is what was recorded. The amazing thing about this is that we can study exactly what happened and the influence of the Spanish by looking at this one glacier. We've talked about this kind of thing before, but there's this glacier, which is 150 miles away from where Pizarro landed.
