Ancient Incan Civilization

The Ancient Incan Civilization, flourishing from the early 15th to the early 16th century in South America, was known for its advanced architecture, engineering, and agriculture. Centered in present-day Peru, it created a vast empire connected by a network of roads and bridges. The Incas built monumental structures like Machu Picchu and employed innovative farming techniques on steep mountainsides. They had a rich culture with religion, art, and a centralized government led by the Sapa Inca. Their civilization ended with the Spanish conquest in the 1530s, but their legacy endures in modern Andean culture.
