The Inca Empire, known as Tawantinsuyu, was divided into four regions called suyus which met at the capital city of Cusco. The Inca ruler was called the Sapa Inca and ruled over a hierarchical society. While the Inca lacked writing, they communicated using knotted string records called quipus and the common language of Quechua. The Inca were skilled engineers and builders, constructing intricate stone structures and adapting to the varied terrain of the Andes mountains. Their religion centered on worship of the Sun God and the Sapa Inca, and influenced all aspects of society including an advanced agricultural system.
