Discovering the Incan Civilization: Location, History, Religion, and Government
The Incan civilization, renowned for its rich history and expansive empire, began in the Andes Mountains. Centralized in Cuzco, the empire eventually spanned across Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. Reflecting a profound belief in multiple gods, notably Inti, the sun god, the Incas practiced diverse religious festivities and unique agricultural techniques like terrace farming. Their sophisticated society included a structured government with rulers known as the Inca and a labor system called mita, which involved public service. Captives from rival tribes often became slaves within this thriving culture.
