Besides the Aztecs and the Mayans, the Incas are the most well-known civilization from pre-colonial Latin America. Where did this empire suddenly come from, how could the Incas manage such a vast empire without knowledge of writing, and what do we know about the culture, religion, and art of these 'rulers of the Andes'? Martin Berger provides an overview of the cultural developments in the Andes region before and during the Incas. He also delves into how such an immense empire could have arisen in one of the most difficult regions to traverse in the world.
