Known as the 'Romans of the Americas', these fabulous engineers converted the vertiginous, challenging landscapes of the Andes into a fertile region able to feed millions, alongside building royal estates such as Machu Picchu and a 40,000-kilometre road network crisscrossed by elegant braided-rope suspension bridges. Beautifully illustrated, this book examines the mythical origins and history of the Inca, as well as their economy, society, technology and beliefs. Kevin Lane reconsiders previous theories while proposing new interpretations concerning the timeline of Inca expansion, their political organization and the role of women in their society, while showcasing how their legacy endures today. 650 0 $a Incas. 651 0 $a Peru $x Civilization. 650 6 $a Incas. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Americas (North, Central, South, West Indies) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Civilization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862898 650 7 $a Incas. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968458 651 7 $a Peru. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205190 655 7 $a Informational works. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781789145472 830 0 $a Lost civilizations (Reaktion Books (Firm)) 941 $a 2 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20231108010328.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20230630011120.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=787597EA170B11EEA3C6068B3DECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
