This book is one of the volumes of the encyclopedia "Vanished Civilizations". It tells in detail about the ancient people who lived in the past in the territory of modern Peru, Ecuador and some areas of Bolivia and Argentina. The Incas, this aristocratic layer of one of the ethnic groups, formed their own empire in the 15th century. After the conquest of this state by the Spaniards in the 16th century, ruins remained, testifying to the fabulous civilization of the Incas. CONTENTS: PART I.
