1400 CE to 1532 CE. This is also when their empire went from Quito in the north to Santiago in
the south in South America. It is said in myth that the Inca were created by the sun god, Inti,
who sent his son Manco Capac to Earth through the middle of three caves in the village of
Paccari Tampu. After killing his brothers, , Manco Capac led his sisters and their followers
through the wilderness before settling in the fertile valley near Cusco circa 1200, (History.com

their 4th emperor, Mayta Capac. It truly started to grow by their 8th leader, Viracocha Inca.

wraps and perfumes they had available. The Incas government was much like their architecture
(interlocking) meaning the Sapa Inca was not the only leader. The next lower level of
government was the Panaqa ( the kings noblemen) they ruled alongside the Sapa Inca. Next
were another set of noblemen/ women that were under those noblemen. The lowest leadership
was the local administrators who would report to the higher ups. They consisted of over 80 men
and women who would report to 10 noblemen/ women who would then report to the Sapa Incas
also make pilgrimages to their moon goddess Mama Kiyla. Their high priest of the sun who
was right under the king would see that the pilgrimages would be brought through so that natural
The Inca would build walls with finely carved bricks. These bricks were so fine no
mortar was needed and this was for their defensive walls. The Inca were a very economically
wealthy empire and they had many mining, farming and building jobs. They were like I said
earlier a very intertwined empire meaning they didnt really have social groups to differ from.
