The South American Indians known as the Incas had a vast empire that extended along the Pacific coast from today's Ecuador south to central Chile and inland across the Andes. In those regions today, people can still see evidence of their brilliant engineering. Way stations, terraced farms, and an extensive road system marked the advanced infrastructure of this civilization. This beneficial book and its vivid artwork relates much about the Inca culture and history, including their laws, customs, homes, and religions. It also relays what happened after the conquistadors arrived in the New World.
