The Incan Empire

One of the most prestigious tribes and nations in all of America had been the Incas. Located in South America, they are known for one of the largest empires established. They prospered to a high level, which makes the indigenous tribes recognized for the advanced achievements making them be able to survive in their environment. They mainly lived in the area of Ecuador and Peru. What aided in their prosperous community had been the warm temperature, where the areas in the mountains were used for vast farming, and as they spread to other parts in South America, They created terraces in order to grow maize and potatoes, in addition to canals to have a better irrigation system. The environment came to their benefit due to the fact that as the climate remained constant, the glacial ice melted, which gave them a higher source of water in order to feed the population through the use of crops and agriculture. Moreover from this positive relationship with the environment, they were capable of inventions in order to help them with the task of survival. Many of the ones they have are weapons, which aid in hunting, and in war, and the development of of medicine and cures for the illness they would face. Other than these monumental facts, what really benefitted them was their intelligence, gaining them more knowledge. The main examples are shown through the architecture of their civilization as well as the pyramids they had built with natural resources from the nature. These factors make the Incas a revolutionizing culture in indigenous history by the achievements and knowledge they had in accomplishing what they had done.
