Inca

The Inca were an ancient civilization that thrived in South America, primarily in what is now Peru, from the early 15th century until the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. They built a vast empire known for its impressive architecture, extensive road networks, and advanced agricultural techniques, including terracing and irrigation. The Inca practiced a complex social structure with a strong central government led by a king. They are also known for their contributions to art, textiles, and engineering, as well as the famous archaeological site of Machu Picchu. Their legacy continues to influence Andean cultures today.
