Description
The Incas: A Comprehensive Survey of the Ancient Empire In less than a century, the Inca empire rose to become one of the largest and most impressive ancient empires. Spanning across modern-day Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina, its sheer scale is remarkable given the challenges of the varied Andean landscape. This authoritative survey provides an in-depth look at the Incas' politics, economics, religion, architecture, art, and technology. The authors explore the capital city of Cusco and the four parts of the empire, examining major regional settlements such as Machu Picchu alongside lesser-known sites. The book concludes with the end of the empire, tracing its final years from the arrival of the Spaniards to the rebellious neo-Inca state in Vilcabamba. The accompanying illustrations showcase the impressive stonework, mountain terraces, textiles, and metalwork that defined Inca culture, offering a unique glimpse into this fascinating ancient civilization.
