During the relatively short span of the Inca Empire, from 1438 to 1533, Inca society developed an impressive economic system, which allowed for extensive agricultural production, as well as for trade of goods between communities across vast distances.
- “The Incas lacked the use of wheeled vehicles. They lacked animals to ride and draft animals that could pull wagons and plows. They lacked the knowledge of iron and steel, above all, they lacked a system of writing… Despite these supposed handicaps, the Incas were still able to construct one of the greatest imperial states in human history.”
An amazing empire
The Inca Empire, known in Quechua as the Tawantinsuyu, is estimated to have reached a population somewhere between 6 and 14 million people. It is remarkable that an ancient people who developed neither a written language nor use of the wheel were able to reach a relatively advanced state of economic and political cohesion.
They built cities and road networks, conquered and assimilated nearby tribes and kingdoms, and were able to expand and prosper, until becoming the largest unified empire in the world of that era. Join El Mundo Verde Travel and learn everything you should know about this fascinating empire.
