{"product_id":"the-incas-ancient-peoples-and-places","title":"The Incas (Ancient Peoples and Places)","description":"In less than a century the Incas rose from obscure origins to build one of the largest empires of the ancient world.\nAt its zenith it extended northward from the Inca capital Cuzco along the spine of the Andes to embrace most of modern Peru and Ecuador, and southward into Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. The sheer scale of the empire, coupled with the challenges of the rugged landscape, made the Inca achievement truly remarkable.\nThis is the most up-to-date and authoritative account available of the Incas: their politics, economics, religion, architecture, art, and technology. The authors look in detail at the four parts of the empire, exploring not just famous sites such as Machu Picchu but all the major regional settlements. The book concludes with the end of the empire: the arrival of the Spaniards, the assassination of the Inca ruler Atawallpa, and the final years of the rebellious, neo-Inca state in the tropical forests of Vilcabamba. 49 full-color and 140 black-and-white illustrations\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0500289441\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0500289441.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Morris, Craig|von Hagen, Adriana\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
