Тауантинсуйу
Тауантинсуйу, also known as the Inca Empire, was a vast and powerful civilization that flourished in the Andean region of South America from the early 15th century until the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. It encompassed parts of modern-day Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Chile. The empire was known for its advanced agricultural techniques, impressive architecture, and extensive road systems that facilitated trade and communication.
The capital of Тауантинсуйу was Cusco, which served as the political and cultural center of the empire. The Incas practiced a unique form of governance that emphasized collective labor and resource distribution, known as the Mita system. Their rich cultural heritage included intricate textiles, pottery, and religious practices centered around deities such as Inti, the sun god.
