About this audiobook

This might sound like a curiosity, but this form of ancestor worship was central to the inca culture and to the history of the inca empire, which stretched from ecuador and colombia in the north to chile in the south. Everyone has seen pictures of one of the incas’ greatest achievements: the mountain-top wonder of machu picchu. But inca history has always been told by the spanish colonizers who conquered them since the inca had no formal writing. Now, archaeology is giving us more information on how the inca really lived, helping us differentiate real history from myth and propaganda. Including: How llamas saved the people from the great flood A temple completely covered in gold Pachacuti, the first inca emperor Who built machu picchu and the most recent theories about why it was built What kind of animal cuzco was shaped like A civil war between two brothers The tribes before the incas How the spanish conquered the incas in only a few short years This comprehensive and captivating book takes you on a journey through the history of the inca empire, from its rise to its fall. Explore the grand temples to the sun god inti and the intricate network of roads, terraces and irrigation systems that testify to the impressive architectural and engineering abilities of the inca people. Delve into the rich culture and society of the incas, including their complex system of government and administration, their traditions of music, dance, and art, and their religious beliefs and practices.
