Inca Reflection

Daily Life:
it was hard for Incas to do farming, because they were at an high elevation, which didnt allow them to farm a lot. They built irrigation systems, to water their lands. The Incas grew crops, but the problem was that it was too cold and the crops would be dry. So instead they started to grow llamas and alpacas. llamas and alpacas were very important because they were source of wool and meat. They made roads for the chasquis to run and deliver the messages. Their trading was limited, and any trading would be controlled by the emperor.

Society beliefs:
The Incas didnt worship gods as other civilizations. They believed that their emperor was the son of their most important god named Inti. Their culture was based on sun as the source of life and agriculture. The human sacrifice was very rare, mostly animals. Emperor in their society made important decisions and the priests did all of the religious beliefs.

Legacy:
The Legacy of the Incas is that they left after themselves a mathematical tool called quipu which allowed them count. Also they left after themselves roads that they have built for the chasquis to run around and deliver messages.
