 Inca Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Inca also believed in mummifying prominent personages.
The ruler's children would then be brought to Cuzco to be taught about Inca administration systems, then return to rule their native lands.
For example, if a worker was accused of stealing and the charges were proven false, the local official could be punished for not doing his job properly.

 Tupac Amaru: The Life, Times, and Execution of the Last Inca by James Q. Jacobs
The "trial of the Inca was hurried and was manifestly unjust." (Hemming 445) Tupac Amaru was convicted of the murder of Friar Diego Ortiz and others, of which he was certainly innocent.
He reportedly stated that everything the Incas had said about their relationship to the Sun was false.
The Spaniards were pleased that the Inca was now a Christian and that the rebellion had been ended.

 NOVA Online Ice Mummies of the Inca Lost Empire
The wealth and sophistication of the legendary Inca people lured many anthropologists and archaeologists to the Andean nations in a quest to understand the Inca's advanced ways and what led to their ultimate demise.
Cuzco, which emerged as the richest city in the New World, was the center of Inca life, the home of its leaders.
To imagine oneself living in the world of the Inca, one would have to travel back 500 years into a magnificent society made up of more than 10 million subjects.

 ON THE ROLE OF CREATION AND ORIGIN MYTHS
Viracocha became the culture hero of the Inca who was said to have brought culture to people, then set off to the Pacific and promised to return.
The analysis of the history and society of the Inca state has confirmed that it was the first and only totalitarian state on the American continent and Pre-Columbian America (Kulmar 1989: 74-76; Soriano 1990: 483-499).
Consequently, the Inca were the genetic and cultural successors of the Tiahuanaco people.

 European Voyages of Exploration: The Inca Empire
The smallpox epidemic claimed the life of the powerful Inca Emperor, Huayna Capac, and his heir apparent.
Eventually Pizarro was convinced of Atahualpa's threat to their position and had him executed in August 1533.
Once in Tumbez it was evident to Pizarro that the Incas were engaged in a civil war and that they were suffering from the first smallpox epidemic to reach the region.

When Atahualpa arrived, Pizzarro kidnapped him and killed several hundred of his family and followers.
Below the Inca was the royal family which consisted of the Inca's immediate family, concubines, and all his children.
However, he convinced the ruler of the Incas, Atahualpa, to come to a conference at the city of Cajamarca.

 Inca - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Inca
1200 and 1400 the Inca were one of a group of warring city states in southern-central Peru.
Inca society was very religious and worshipped many gods, among them gods of the sun, moon, stars, earth, and sea.
When they had been assimilated into Inca culture, they were resettled in other parts of the Inca empire.
http://encyclopedia.farlex.com/Inca

  
 The Inca
The "Inca Civilization" was a society of the Quechua people.
The Sapa Inca was believed to be the Son of the Sun and a divine being himself.
Because the Inca were the dominant group at the time of European discovery and subsequent conquest by Francisco Pizzaro in 1532, we know more about them then all of their predecessors.
http://www.snowcrest.net/goehring/inca

  
 Inca Religion
These set the foundations for the Inca empire that can be said to have achieved its potential as well as its religious system as it is known to us only by the fifteenth century, either under the Inca Tupac yupanqui, or under his predecessor Inca Pachacuti.
The Incas were a very hierarchical society, and although the Inca(the king) was the son of the sun, his religious power was divided with hullac umac (the high priest, chosen from a noble lineage) to whom the priests of all shrines were submitted.
In the year 1532 the Inca empire was destroyed by the Spaniards, who also forbade the practice of the Inca religion, especially since their religious practices permeated all aspects of Public life.

Another view of the Incas, from a conquistador.
In this way the Inca and the governors knew which of the Indians were poor, the women who had been widowed, whether they were able to pay their taxes, and how many men they could count on in the event of war, and many other things they considered highly important.
This was to deal with thieves, rapists, or conspirators against the Inca.

 Peru - The Inca
In the early decades of the 15th century, an obscure people whose rulers claimed descent from the sun embarked on a series of conquests that would enable them to dominate the last hundred years of Andean history.
The use of Quechua, the Inca language, as the common tongue of administration helped to unify the patchwork population, as did commerce and the institution of the Inca pantheon as the official state religion.
Although their subsequent supremacy was often achieved through diplomacy, the Incas boasted one of the most well organized and ruthless armies of the ancient world.

 NOVA Online Ice Mummies of the Inca The High Mummies
Dead for 500 years, this Inca sacrificial mummy found on Chile's El Plomo Peak has opened the door to further inquiry into the strange and mysterious ritual life of the Inca.
The discovery by Johan Reinhard of "Juanita," an Inca ice maiden found atop Mount Ampato in 1995, is the most recent -- and some say the most revealing -- addition to scientists' understanding of Inca life and culture.
Mountain deities were seen as lords of the forces of nature who presided over crops and livestock.

Wright studied the hydrology of the area and found no basis for the theory that a water shortage caused the Inca to abandon Machu Picchu.

His theory on Inka roofing techniques is described in his paper "The Lost Half of Inca Architecture", presented in 1988 at the annual meeting of the Institute of Andean Studies.
