THE INCAN EMPIRE   Teacher:
                   Mauricio
                   Torres
WHO WERE THE INCAS?

    Before they created an Empire, the Incas
     lived as a small tribe in the city of Cuzco,
     in Perú.
    In the mid 1400s, Pachacuti rose as a
     leader and began conquering neighboring
     territory in the Andes. His successors
     followed the same lead and quickly built
     an Empire
    The Empire stretched from what we know
     today as northern Ecuador to central Chile.
    12 million people lived in it in various
     types of terrain such as: coastal deserts,
     snowy mountains and fertile valleys.
    They didn’t keep written records of their
     history, but instead relied on oral tradition.
KEEPING A TIGHT GRIP

 Power was held from Cuzco.
 To avoid losing control of
  his new empire, Pachacuti
  replaced leaders in the
  conquered villages by
  people from his own
  territory.
 Also, children from newly
  conquered lands were sent
  to Cuzco to learn the Inca
  way of life.
 Quechua was the of ficial
  language and thus was
  spoken throughout the
  empire.
ECONOMICS

 Of ficials kept a tight control on economy.
 Each household was told was work they
  had to do. This way they worked for
  themselves as well as the central
  government.
 People worked, soldiered or mined. This
  was a way of paying tribute to the emperor.
  It was a tax through labor and not money.
  It was called “ mita”.
 There were no markets or merchants, so it
  was up to the of ficials to distribute goods
  among the population.
 Even though the government took a lot of
  production away form its people, it also
  looked out for them. The surplus was used
  for emergencies or for people who could
  not care for themselves.
BEING AN INCA

 The rulers controlled daily life very closely, leaving little space
  for personal freedom.
 Even so, they looked up for the welfare of everyone in the
  empire.
BEING AN INCA

 Social Divisions
      Upper class: Emperor, priests and governments officials.
           They wore the best clothes
           Lived in stone houses
           Didn’t have to work or tribute tax.
           Went on vacations to Macchu Picchu (same as today, right?)
      Lower class: artisans, farmers and servants.
         Dressed in plain clothes
         Lived simply
         By law they couldn’t more goods than what they needed to survive.


 Religion
      Incas believed their rulers were related to the sun god, and never really died.
       They were mummified when they died.
      Ceremonies included sacrifices, not human (not always), but rather animals.
      Certain areas, as mountain tops, had special religious value and thus were
       worshipped.
         Near Cuenca, you can find Cojitambo, which has old ruins, an odd shape for a mountain and is used
          today as a climbing spot.
ACHIEVEMENTS

   Masonry: Stonework. They would cut
    and carve stone so perfectly, that
    when they built their grand palaces,
    they didn’t need anything like
    cement to keep them in place.
   Road networks: They stretched north
    to south and were used as ways for
    the army or mail couriers ( chasquis)
    to move around the empire.
   Artwork: They worked with gold and
    silver, as well as doing pottery.
    Textiles were also made by them.
FARMING

 Most of the empire was based on the Andes on steep slopes.
 They developed a “terrace system” to farm and keep the soil
  well irrigated.
 The Incas also domesticated the llama.
DEMISE

The Tauantinsuyu       In the 1520s, when the ruler passed
                        away, his two sons (Atahualpa and
                        Huascar)star ted a civil war to see
                        who would rule the empire.
                       Atahualpa won, but the fierce
                        fighting had weakened the army.
                       The Spanish, led by Francisco
                        Pizarro, arrived at Cuzco. They
                        attacked the Incas (even though
                        greatly outnumbered), captured
                        Atahualpa and killed thousands.
                       They asked for a ransom (a room
                        filled with gold and silver) in order
                        to secure his release, but killed him
                        anyways.
                       The Incas fought back , but they
                        were eventually defeated by Pizarro
                        and his men. They were to rule for
                        the next 300 year s.
ASK YOURSELF

The Tauantinsuyu



                          Why do you think the Spanish
                           murdered Atahualpa?

                          They feared he would lead his
                           people into rebellion .

Incas

  • 1. Social Studies for 9 th E.G.B. THE INCAN EMPIRE Teacher: Mauricio Torres
  • 2. WHO WERE THE INCAS?  Before they created an Empire, the Incas lived as a small tribe in the city of Cuzco, in Perú.  In the mid 1400s, Pachacuti rose as a leader and began conquering neighboring territory in the Andes. His successors followed the same lead and quickly built an Empire  The Empire stretched from what we know today as northern Ecuador to central Chile.  12 million people lived in it in various types of terrain such as: coastal deserts, snowy mountains and fertile valleys.  They didn’t keep written records of their history, but instead relied on oral tradition.
  • 3. KEEPING A TIGHT GRIP  Power was held from Cuzco.  To avoid losing control of his new empire, Pachacuti replaced leaders in the conquered villages by people from his own territory.  Also, children from newly conquered lands were sent to Cuzco to learn the Inca way of life.  Quechua was the of ficial language and thus was spoken throughout the empire.
  • 4. ECONOMICS  Of ficials kept a tight control on economy.  Each household was told was work they had to do. This way they worked for themselves as well as the central government.  People worked, soldiered or mined. This was a way of paying tribute to the emperor. It was a tax through labor and not money. It was called “ mita”.  There were no markets or merchants, so it was up to the of ficials to distribute goods among the population.  Even though the government took a lot of production away form its people, it also looked out for them. The surplus was used for emergencies or for people who could not care for themselves.
  • 5. BEING AN INCA  The rulers controlled daily life very closely, leaving little space for personal freedom.  Even so, they looked up for the welfare of everyone in the empire.
  • 6. BEING AN INCA  Social Divisions  Upper class: Emperor, priests and governments officials.  They wore the best clothes  Lived in stone houses  Didn’t have to work or tribute tax.  Went on vacations to Macchu Picchu (same as today, right?)  Lower class: artisans, farmers and servants.  Dressed in plain clothes  Lived simply  By law they couldn’t more goods than what they needed to survive.  Religion  Incas believed their rulers were related to the sun god, and never really died. They were mummified when they died.  Ceremonies included sacrifices, not human (not always), but rather animals.  Certain areas, as mountain tops, had special religious value and thus were worshipped.  Near Cuenca, you can find Cojitambo, which has old ruins, an odd shape for a mountain and is used today as a climbing spot.
  • 7. ACHIEVEMENTS  Masonry: Stonework. They would cut and carve stone so perfectly, that when they built their grand palaces, they didn’t need anything like cement to keep them in place.  Road networks: They stretched north to south and were used as ways for the army or mail couriers ( chasquis) to move around the empire.  Artwork: They worked with gold and silver, as well as doing pottery. Textiles were also made by them.
  • 8. FARMING  Most of the empire was based on the Andes on steep slopes.  They developed a “terrace system” to farm and keep the soil well irrigated.  The Incas also domesticated the llama.
  • 9. DEMISE The Tauantinsuyu  In the 1520s, when the ruler passed away, his two sons (Atahualpa and Huascar)star ted a civil war to see who would rule the empire.  Atahualpa won, but the fierce fighting had weakened the army.  The Spanish, led by Francisco Pizarro, arrived at Cuzco. They attacked the Incas (even though greatly outnumbered), captured Atahualpa and killed thousands.  They asked for a ransom (a room filled with gold and silver) in order to secure his release, but killed him anyways.  The Incas fought back , but they were eventually defeated by Pizarro and his men. They were to rule for the next 300 year s.
  • 10. ASK YOURSELF The Tauantinsuyu  Why do you think the Spanish murdered Atahualpa?
  • 11. ASK YOURSELF The Tauantinsuyu  Why do you think the Spanish murdered Atahualpa?  They feared he would lead his people into rebellion .
