Inca Civilization: Survival in the 21st Century

The Inca civilization stands to be one of the most respected empires in the Mesoamerican era. It occupied approximately 772,204 square miles and 20,000,000 people at that time of its collapse. The Incas are renowned for not just their aptitude in subjects such as mathematics, calendrics, and metal work, but also in other pressing areas such as their strategic military, central economy, and pro-active government. They collectively embody diligence, dexterity, and competence; through these qualities, they are dynamic and productive, and desire to be one with the community they surround themselves in. As such, the Incas would undoubtedly survive in the social and economic climate of the 21st century.
The Incas were reputed for delegating tasks

They were masters of melding minerals to adorn their beautifully constructed buildings. The Incas were extremely practical in the usage of materials, but very precise in how aesthetically pleasing the architecture should be. They typically used Yucay limestone, green Sacsahuaman diorite porphyry, and black andesite as their base material and sand as their final touch. The site of Machu Picchu exemplifies one of the Inca’s most stable engineered products. They enabled each of their buildings to embody military tactics so that they may be used incase of warfare. The Incas built fortresses on each corner of the civilization, which not only secured them as a group, but also allowed them to strategically organize their army in a very intelligent way. Clearly, the Incas used their craftsmanship as an asset in every respect – a noteworthy quality in the pre-Columbian

Their relative success is no mask for the overall collapse of the Incan civilization. The Incas were no match for the organized, strong, and numerous Spanish conquistadors. Also, their very community-oriented civilization led to virtually zero independence for an average Incan. However, their efficiency, which is transparent through their diligence in every aspect of the Incan lifestyle, is truly inspiring. The mere fact that Incan engineers innovatively designed their infrastructure to correctly harmonize with nature instead of forcing against it, puts into perspective how we challenge technological norms in the 21st century. Their willingness to work together and in that, work hard, asks us to genuinely question how important our personal growth is in relation to the collective betterment of society. The Incas were denoted as the more peaceful organizations as well; they were more inclined to participate in negotiations instead of war. In the same way, they were always prepared for battle – each Incan was ready to enter warfare at short notice. The Incas were skillful, talented, and thoughtful; they may have not survived the Spanish conquest, but their character would certainly prevail
