Master Narrative very closely. The Inca had a Polytheistic religion, such as ones previous to it, like Sumer. The Inca believed in divine beings, such as a superior creator, named Viracocha. He was the ruler, regarded as the father of the Sun God, Inti, with immense power to create and kill. The Inca feared and honored Viracocha, along with the other gods, thus offering human sacrifices to them. These sacrifices included a “chosen woman,” or a beautiful woman who was sacrificed to the gods to please
The Incas had a very long history. The Incas popped up in the 12th Century in the High Andes region. The first Inca ruler was named Pachacuti Yupanqui, he founded the famous Inca monument Macchu Picchu. In 1471-1493 the city of Pachacamac was took over by the Incas.

It is well documented that Malaysia is a country that experiences fast and rapid growth in its overall economy. According to the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Malaysia has the potential to rise as one of the seven drivers of the Asian economy by 2050 led by China, India, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Thailand (Malaysian Insider, 2011).

Their civilization's religious beliefs were all set on the gods that had to do with the elements of the earth. The buildings that the Inca Empire built its structure was so strong that it is still in good shape to this date. So the Incas were such a great empire that their way of accomplishing and getting things done is still used today. The Inca's government was super strong, their government was called
of Pacariqtambo. These first Incans were created by the sun god Inti. Their mission was to bring civilization to the world. The final legend is that the god, Viracocha, created man out of clay and stone at Tiwanaku. Viracocha then led the people that he created to Cuzco. Viracocha left the humans to reign from the heaves. Viracocha gave deities to control the lives of humans. The dispute still continues on whether Viracocha, or Inti is the supreme god of the Incans. Society in the Incan Empire was
The Incan and Aztec Empire were two of the largest Mesoamerican empires to be created. Religion was one of the most important aspects in these two civilizations. The two religions had similarities and differences. Aztec religion involved the worshipping of many gods. There was a god for almost any aspect of nature. There was a god of fire, a god of rain, a god of water. Gods were also used to symbolize other aspects of life as well. The gods could be grouped into three main groups. The first group
commoners were farmers, soldiers, merchants, etc. The slaves were people who they captives from raids in lands. The Incas had a similar structure, where everyone had a part in society. However they believed that their ruler was a descendant of the sun god, Inti. The Incas also established a bureaucracy and had a very efficient economic system. The final reason that the Incas had a more successful civilization than the Aztecs was because of their religion and way of treating people. The Aztecs were crazy about
Introduction World music may sound as simple as its name suggests, however the world music phenomenon expresses a deeper story that many people seem to miss. There is so much that makes up a world music genre, but what we hear about it is not always the easiest to decipher and generally comes from powerful and large organisations, where not all of it is explained thoroughly. A lot of their understanding comes from what they are only interested in and most important stories and factors are either
INTRODUCTION Religion played a very important role in the Aztec and Inca culture. Religious rituals consisted of human sacrifice and polytheism. Their deities were inspired by nature and the earth’s physical makeup. Both appear to be similar but peel back the onion and notable differences reveal themselves. It is difficult for modern day society to understand how human sacrifice can exist in such advanced civilizations. THE INCAS (CHILDREN OF THE SUN) The Incas Empire began around 1200 and lasted
In the thirteenth century a tribe in the Cusco region of present-day Peru formed the Inca civilization. In 1200c.e their leader Manco Capac and his family inhabited and built the civilization into a small city-state over time. Many years after Capac’s death in 1438c.e, Pachacuti presumed leadership as emperor of the Inca people. Although Capac laid a successful foundation, Pachacuti felt that it was essential to expand Inca influence outward. He began uniting neighboring tribes with his people into

“Leadership is influence”. (John C. Maxwell) Huayna Capac believed in leading by intentionally enforcing the Incan traditions and way of life to anyone who encountered them. Huayna was the son of Topa Inca Yupanqui (1471-1493), an Incan King who led a massive expansion of the Incan Empire, spreading it towards the Tahuantinsuyu or land of four quarters. The newly conquered domain was so colossal that it dispersed deep into the Amazon forests. Because his father was an emperor, Capac grew up living
of Earth, animals and man. He made men out of stone, replicated them and destroyed them according to his whim. Viracocha was considered he divine protector of the Incan rulers or “Incani’s”. Inti, the Sun god was the head of the state cult whose worship was mandatory. Every year a special festival called Inti-Raymi was held in Inti’s and the suns honor. Animal sacrifices and ritual dances marked and were often the highlight of the celebration. Daily prayers were addressed to Apu Illapu, the rain giver
During ancient times humans were thought to be under the ruling of the Gods who came from the heavens and religion governed life at all levels of society. The Gods whom had shared sacred information with humanity had colonized humans for they were made to bear the yoke of the Gods (Petraglia & Maurizio). Although today we clearly distinguish the fine line between mythology and religion, there is still much to discover and learn from our ancient ancestors crumbs they have left behind. While there

The festival is called “Inti Raymi Festival of the Sun,” which is held on June 24th. Natives sacrifice an animal to ensure good crops and to pay admiration to the Incas, as the first-born Son of the Sun.

A Tale of Two Cities: Tikal and Machu Picchu Tikal and Machu Picchu, a tale of two cities in which one ruler was building a city on the need for superiority in a time of a growing Maya empire, and the latter, thought to be established for an Inca ruler and to pay homage to their societies deities. The Inca’s did not have a well-developed written language, and as a result, much of what historian know today comes from second and third person accounts. However, the Maya empire, indeed, had a sophisticated
One of the greatest mysteries of the Inca tribe is their greatest accomplishment and estate, Machu Picchu. Archeologists find Machu Picchu to be fascinating because there is little documentation on the city. This grand site has a complex history of conquer and rediscovery. It was a site that served many different uses and it is well-known for its curious placement on the edge of a crevasse, but also for its particular and amazing ruins. Machu Picchu is important because, although there are many
