Rise and Fall of the
Inca Civilization
Mrs. Sample
6th Grade SS
The Inca
Rise of the Inca
• 1200 AD, Incas settled in Cuzco, a village in the
Andes Mountains (now in Peru).
• Known as “City of the Sun” (sun god was most
important to the Incas)
• Most were farmers.

• 1438 AD, Pachacuti became ruler of the Incas
and conquered more lands/people.
• empire stretched 2,500 miles and ruled 12 million people
• used runners to spread news—at a rate of 250 miles a day
• The jaguar was an important symbol to the Incans.
• Cuzco (capital city) was built in the shape of a jaguar!

Incan Accomplishments
• excellent farmers, builders, and managers
• roads and aqueducts:
• built more than 19,000 miles of roads (over
mountains!)
• built canals and aqueducts to carry water to
dry areas
• aqueduct—pipe or channel designed to
carry water to a distant source; irrigates
dry land
Inca Trails…
Incan Accomplishments (continued)
• Farming: cut terraces into the Andes to create farmland
• developed a large variety of foods
• discovered ways to store and preserve food
• Kept extra food in storehouses and distributed to
villages when the crops failed

• potato was a staple food (due to it being able
to grow in the high altitudes of the Andes)
• other foods: tomatoes, maize, lima beans,
peppers, grains
Inca Terraces
• Inca ruins are some of the most impressive
architecture in the world.
• Created a system of stone roads still in use today.
• Inca runners carried messages in a relay system
• Built swinging bridges made of rope (to go over
canyons and rivers)
• They cut stone with such precisions that each block
fit exactly with its neighbor.
– fit was so tight, even a knife wouldn’t fit in the
cracks

Inca Ceremonial
Center
Incan Government & Records
• nobles conducted a census to count people so
they could be taxed
• no written language
• recorded information on knotted strings called
Quipus:
• each color represented a different item and knots
of different sizes at different intervals stood for
numbers
Inca Quipu
Incan Religion
• like the Aztec, also polytheistic
• main god was the sun god

• Sacrifice was a big part—usually a
white llama was used.
• believed in reincarnation

Francisco Pizarro- Spanish
Conquistador

• Pizarro was also from the Extremadura.
• He was not of noble birth; could not even
write his name.
• At age 16, Pizarro fled a job herding pigs in
Italy.
• 1502--He arrived in the Americas and
became very wealthy by exploring Panama.
• heard a rumor that there was a great
empire filled with gold in the mountains of
South America
• 1530s--Inca thought they ruled most of
the world; two threats from the north
proved they did not.
1.They couldn’t stop the spread of smallpox.
2. They couldn’t scare away Pizarro.

The Inca
• Pizarro led 160 soldiers to the Incan
homeland.
• raided Incan storehouses & fired guns at
villagers
• Atahualpa, Incan emperor, thought Pizarro
was crazy--how could he stand up to an
army of 80,000 Incan warriors?
• 1532--Pizarro came up with a plan to
defeat the Inca.

Pizarro Conquers the Inca
Atahualpa
• Spanish messengers invited Atahualpa to a
meeting.
• He agreed & left most of his army behind-brought only 5,000 bodyguards.
• Pizarro’s 160 soldiers attacked the Inca &
kidnapped Atahualpa.
• Pizarro offered to free Atahualpa if he filled one
room with gold & one with silver.
• Atahualpa kept his end of the bargain, but
Pizarro killed him in 1533.

Pizarro Defeats the
Inca
• Spanish king made Pizarro the governor of
Peru.
• Pizarro’s conquest of Peru opened most of
South America to Spanish rule.
• Spain controlled a vast territory covering
375,000 miles with almost seven million
inhabitants.
