The Landscape of Inca Empire terms is a random
landscape of words about an empire located in South America from 1438 to
1533.
Centered at Cuzco, Peru, the empire at the time of the Spanish
conquest (1532) dominated the entire Andean area from Quito, Ecuador, S to
the Río Maule, Chile, extending some 2,000 mi (3,200 km). Although the Inca
showed a genius for organization, their conquests were facilitated by the
highly developed social systems of some of the kingdoms that they absorbed,
such as the Chimu, and the established agrarian communities that covered the
area of their conquest. The Inca empire proved short-lived: by 1533, Atahualpa, the last Sapa Inca, was killed on the orders of the Conquistador
Francisco Pizarro.
High in the Andes Mountains of Peru, hidden by
clouds, Machu Picchu is the most impressive and spectacular accomplishment
of the Inca Empire.
