Atahualpa was convinced by the nobility Incas of Quito and Tumibamba that he had to fight against Huáscar.

There was an estimated 10 million people living in the Inca civilization. The name of their empire was Tawantinsuyu, meaning “ Land of Four Quarters.” The Inca empire was separated into four quarters. The North quarter was named Chinchaysuyu, the East was Antisuyu, South was Collasuyu, and the West quarter Cuntisuyu. Cuzco is the capital of the Inca empire.
The Collapse of the Inca Civilization The collapse of a complex society is the resultant force of rapid simplification (Tainter, 1990). Whether intrinsically or extrinsically inflicted, exploitation of the very factors with which societal complexity is achieved may initiate the collapse of a civilization (Tainter, 1990). A total of six factors signal the attainment of societal complexity (i.e., urbanization, complex economy, scientific enhancement, public architecture, state religion, and social

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.

are many great and important things he did in life. He made a great impact in American History. He was a Spanish explorer and a conquistador in his early days. He, accompanied by few of his men, were able to capture Atahualpa, Emperor of the mighty Inca Empire, and conquered the Incan Empire in the year of 1532. He was greatly responsible for the expansion of the Spanish dominion into the western side of South America and also explored the Pacific Coast of America. This are some of the things that
might believe that the Spaniards swiped the Incas out of the region. A nature megalithic structure near Lake Titicaca is Aramu Muru. Legends say that Viracocha first created life on Earth at Lake Titicaca, on the borders of Peru and Bolivia. In the center of the lake, the Island of Sun stands; in the island, there’s a sacred temple and unknown burial towers called chulpas in Sillustani; these towers were plated with gold and holds the remains of the Inca royalty.
