The Incas had a highly organized government based in Cuzco. The emperor lived there and was regarded to as The Inca, the main supreme the ruler. Underneath him were the nobles.,They were talented and gifted and their skills provided for all of the Inca civilization.

Incas called their territory Tawantinsuyu, what in Quechua, the Inca language, means The Four Parts. A territory of varied and strongly marked lands and weathers, that consisted of a large desert strip on the coast, interspersed with rich irrigated valleys; the high summits of the Andes; and the mountain summit of the tropical forest in the East. The word Inca designated the leader himself as well as the people of Cuzco valley, the empire capital. It is sometimes used to designate all the people included in the Tawantinsuyu, but it is not correct. Most of the smaller kingdoms kept their identity even dough they were attached politically and economically to the Incas. Quechua was the official language and was spoken in most of the communities until the arrival of the Spanish, but almost 20 local dialects remained in some parts of the empire.

In about 1300 the Incas founded their capital city of Cuzco. They were only a small tribe but they came to rule a vast empire including most of Peru and parts of Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia and northwest Argentina. The expansion began in 1438 under their ruler Pachakuti and continued under his successors.

The primary "highway" of the Incas' road system was called "Capac-nan". Even today, it would be a major undertaking. In terms of half a millennium ago, modern man can only marvel at such a monumental accomplishment. The highway stretched from Cuzco, the Inca capital, to Quito, modern Ecuador's capital - a distance of 1,500 miles.

The Incas are famous for their gold. They mined extensive deposits of gold and silver, but this wealth ultimately brought disaster in the 16th century, when Spanish soldiers came seeking riches for themselves and their king.
