Detailed explanation-1: -The Inca’s greatest technological skill was engineering. The best example is their amazing system of roads. The Incas built roads across the length of and width of their empire. To create routes through steep mountain ranges, they carved staircases and gouged tunnels out of rock.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Inca, however, didn’t have a lot of basic technologies we often consider important to advanced societies. They didn’t use the wheel for transport, they didn’t have a writing system for records, and they didn’t even have iron for making tools.
Detailed explanation-3: -Under the empire the Inca religion was a highly organized state religion, but, while worship of the sun god and the rendering of service were required of subject peoples, their native religions were tolerated. Inca rituals included elaborate forms of divination and the sacrifice of humans and animals.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Incas developed thousands of techniques for metalwork, stonework, and cloth. They were precise and talented. They developed all sorts of farming and agriculture technologies too. Their roads, too, were something to marvel at.
