Detailed explanation-1: -The Incas may not have bequeathed any written records, but they did have colourful knotted cords. Each of these devices was called a khipu (pronounced key-poo). We know these intricate cords to be an abacus-like system for recording numbers.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Incas built causeways to elevate the roads in swampy areas. They also built amazing bridges, which they called chacas. The hanging bridges are the most famous of the Incan chacas. One Incan bridge was over 250 feet long.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Inca first appeared in modern-day Peru sometime during the 12th century, arising from earlier pre-Inca groups in the region.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pachakuti. Then, about 1438, a brilliant warrior, Cusi Inca Yupanqui, became the Inca ruler. With great arrogance and assurance, he assumed the name Pachakuti, which means “he who remakes the world” and set about reforming and transforming the Inca domain into a state.
