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.
