LOST CIVILIZATIONS
The Incas
Inca civilization's exact origins are unknown.However, by year 1500, Tawantinsuyu - Inca Empire - was the largest and richest in pre-
Columbian America.
Incas controlled an estimated population of twelve million people spread over 2,500 miles (4,000
km.) along the western coast of America, on the Andean range.
The Incas ruled a land that most of which was made up of two parallel mountain ranges with high plateaus. Most of the land is
3,000 meters above sea level.
The Inca of Peru have long held a mystical fascination for people of the western world. Four hundred years ago the fabulous wealth in gold and silver possessed by these people was discovered, then plundered by Spanish conquistadors.
