Scenarios about 'inca empire'
The Inca Empire was the largest pre-Columbian civilization in the Americas, spanning western South America from 1438 to 1533 CE. Known for advanced engineering, road systems, terrace agriculture, and administrative organization despite lacking a written language, the empire's rapid conquest by Spanish forces under Francisco Pizarro represents one of history's most dramatic imperial collapses.
