Sinopsis
From a small ethnic group in the Andes to one of the greatest empires of pre-Columbian America, the Incas transformed the history of the continent through their vision of power, organization, and connection with the landscape. This richly illustrated volume explores the rise and expansion of the Inca Empire through historical records, mythology, and archaeological discoveries. From the legendary Manco Cápac to Túpac Amaru, the last Inca ruler, the book traces the achievements of their sovereigns while revealing the complex social, political, economic, and religious structures that sustained their civilization. Following the path of the Urubamba River through the Sacred Valley, this work takes readers on a journey through the remarkable cities, sanctuaries, roads, and monuments that reflect the Incas’ extraordinary ability to harmonize architecture, culture, and nature.
