The
Inca civilization was probably the largest in the Americas. Because
they had no written language, what we know of the history of the Incas and
their realm comes from chronicles and other documents written in the
decades after the Spanish conquest. At the height of their power, the
Incas controlled a vast territory that covered extremely rugged terrain
and different climates, inhabited by perhaps over six million people.
Those lands were home to people of dozens of different ethnic groups,
representing numerous different languages.

Machu Picchu was one of the most sacred communities of the Inca. |
