1200 A.D. “The Reich of the Inca” started in Peru in Cuzco in the heart of the Andes.
But in between 1200 and 1300 A.D.
the Incas didn’t differs it self worth mentioning from the other cultures around.
Like al cultures at the tableland they was half warriors and half farmers.
But the rulers of the Incas thought they had the mission to civilize the barbarians at the Andes.
They accused them of incest, cannibalism and that they always was in war with each other.
However an interesting observation is that they didn’t led war of conquest,
they just defended their borders from other tribes that attacked.
“The Reich of the Inca” expanded by it self, so to speak.
So, the Incas weren’t an aggressive culture like the contemporary Aztecs in Mexico.

The reason why the Incas territory could be that big might have been, that they didn’t
Changed that much in the defeated tribe’s cultures.
They just replaced their leadership and enforced sun worship.
So, the common man just lived on like they always had.
But if they rebelled the Incas did know how to deal with it.
One way was of course to send troops.
That was on of the reasons that Pachacuti begun to build rods al over the territory,
when he 1440 A.D. became Inca.
Scattered along the huge net of rods there was buildings called Tampus.
And the Tampus was both a night quarters and a postal-station. Cos’ in the Tampus
there was always too or three couriers, that run from Tampus to Tampus with messages.
In this way news travelled from all over the territory in a couple of days.
So, it was easy for a tribal chief to send a rapid message if someone rebelled.
And for the Inca to send troops.
But if they still didn’t want to subordinate them self’s, they just deported them
to a location with reliable inhabitants. they also deported Inca friendly tribes
back to where they came from. A rather interesting way to take down rebellions,
don’t you think?

Well, they lived in villages that included a number of family’s
united by generations or friendships. This union was called an Ayllu.
A young newly married couple received land to cultivate, from a collective land fund.
The size of the land increased, or decreased depending on how big the family was.
And when the family that used the land didn’t need it anymore, it was returned to the land fund.
Each family had also access to the Marca (land used by everyone in the Ayllu) where their cattle could graze.
Every Ayllu had a Curacan (tribal chief) that divided the land, organized the collective work
and were the judge and the jury.
They had also a Huaca (divinity of shelter) that they prayed to, to get a god harvest and healthy cattle.
The Ayllu always belonged to a union of Ayllu’s where one was the leading one.
The Curaca from that Ayllu was the highest Curaca of them all
and the Huaca was the highest divinity of the union.
The inhabitants in every Ayllu had to help the leading Curaca
with his land and other things, before they could begin with there own land.
But the Caraca had to formally ask for the help and a service in return was an obligation.
The service could be for example to provide the workers with meat, corn and so on.
And also accommodation, clothes and tools,
When the work has been done the workers could have for example wool, fur and weaves and so on.
But they didn’t have the right to what the inhabitants produced or to there assets.
These rules were also for the Huaca.

1473 Pachacuti died and his son Topa Yupanqui became Inca.
1485 Topa Yupanqui begins his four-year journey through the entire riche.
1493 Topa died in a palace near Cuzco probably murdered. The five-year-old Huayan Capac
became Inca and ruled with his older brothers.
1526 Huayan Capac died in smallpox that the people from Spain took with them.
And one year later the riche is divided in to parts. One in Cuzco in the south ruled by Huascar,
and one in Quito in the north ruled by his brother Atahualpa.
But after a war between them Atahualpa succeeded to win the throne back.
So, when Francisco Pizarro and his 200 hundred men arrived to South America for the third time,
to find El Dorado.
Huascar welcomed him with open arms cos' he thought that Pizarro could help him defeat his brother
ones and for al. But probably the most important reason was that
Huascar believed that Pizarro was Viracocha a God that according to a myth
would come back from the sea. And bring peace and justice to the nation.
16 Nov1532 Pizarro attacked Atahualpa at Cajamarca and succeed,
“The Riche of the Inca” never rose again.
