Detailed explanation-1: -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. They also built suspension bridges over rivers. Thick rope cables were anchored at stone towers on either side of the river.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inca bridges were made of strong Andean grasses, particularly of ichu grass, which was made into ropes, and anchored with leather ties onto solid stone supports.
Detailed explanation-3: -At the height of the Inca Empire, the roads and suspension bridges bound the empire together, allowing peoples and goods to be mobilised across the Inca realm.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ochsendorf wrote: “The Inca were the only ancient American civilization to develop suspension bridges. Similar bridges existed in other mountainous regions of the world, most notably in the Himalayas and in ancient China, where iron chain suspension bridges existed in the third century B.C.”
