My thoughts after reading the ancient labyrinth with many institutions in the Inca Empire

The Inca Empire was an ancient imperial civilization in the 11th century. The territory roughly covers today's South America's Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. The capital is in Cusco. The center of gravity of the empire was located in the Andes Mountains of South America.

Belief

The Inca Empire mainly believed in the Sun God and considered itself a descendant of the Sun God. Legend has it that the Sun God sent his sons Manco Capac and Maocyo to teach the Inca people the calendar, legal system, etc.

Civilization

According to archaeological excavations, the Inca Empire at that time had bronze vessels and labor tools such as knives, sickles, and axes, and its smelting and casting technology was quite sophisticated. The Incas also had a developed agricultural irrigation system and long post roads. Archaeologists generally believe that the Inca's construction technology, medicine, weaving and dyeing skills were quite advanced.

In terms of literature, there is a long Inca poem "Oyanta". The poem describes the story of the hero Oyante, who fell in love with the Inca King's daughter during the period of the Inca King Pachacuti and asked the Inca King for marriage, but was blocked. The poem was adapted into a drama in the 15th century. It was recorded in Latin by Spanish missionaries from 1770 to 1780.

A brief history

The earliest territorial expansion of the Inca Empire was started by Tupac Yupanqui, who expanded the Inca Empire from less than 2 million square kilometers to Go to Pasto in Colombia, Tucumán in Argentina, and the Maure River in Chile. However, his heirs' fight for the throne caused many civil wars, which led to political instability in the Inca Empire and provided opportunities for subsequent Spanish colonists to sow discord.

The demise of the Inca Empire In 1532, Atahualpa, the last king of the Inca Empire, was executed by the Spanish colonial invader Francisco Pizzello, ending the empire that had flourished for more than 400 years. history.

Although the Inca Empire was still expanding when the Spanish arrived, theoretically speaking, the Inca Empire had approached a series of geopolitical limits, and the approach to these limits excluded expansion. Inca rulers always believed that a relatively stable indigenous way of life not only provided a system of political rule, but also became the basis for the production of products needed to maintain the organization of the empire. Attempts by the Incas to invade the eastern jungle and other immigrant areas were never successful. The effort required to rule those immigrants was enormous and was not conducive to the full concentration and mobilization of resources.
