	Inca Empire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Inca Empire was conceived like an ambitious and audacious civilizing project, based on a mythical thought, in which the harmony of the relationships between the human being, nature and Gods was truly essential.
		It was traditional for the Inca's son to lead the army; Pachacuti's son Túpac Inca began conquests to the north in 1463, and continued them as Inca after Pachucuti's death in 1471.
		For instance, the Chimú used money in their commerce, while the Inca empire as a whole had an economy based on exchange and taxation of luxury goods and labour (it is said that Inca tax collectors would take the head lice of the lame and old as a symbolic tribute).

	Civilization - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
		Technically, anthropologists distinguish civilizations in which many of the people live in cities and get their food from agriculture, from band and tribal societies in which people live in small settlements or nomadic groups and subsist by foraging, hunting, or working small horticultural gardens.
		Civilization often uses religion to justify its actions, claiming for example that the un-civilized are savages, barbarians or the like, which, for their own good, should subjugate to the civilization, or their God(s).

	Peru - The Inca
		Other select groups in conquered lands who were willing to cooperate with their new leaders became "Incas by privilege." The majority of the empire's able-bodied citizens sustained its economy with the mita, or service tax in the form of agricultural work or of labor in government-owned mines, and on bridges, buildings, and roads.
		The use of Quechua, the Inca language, as the common tongue of administration helped to unify the patchwork population, as did commerce and the institution of the Inca pantheon as the official state religion.
		Often the Inca himself, borne on a golden litter, traveled along the roads, followed by an elaborate entourage of courtiers, entertainers, soothsayers and concubines.

		Their territory was very diverse both in climate and in terrain, for it included the high peaks and fertile valleys of the Andes mountains, the tropical forests on the eastern edges of the mountains and a long strip of drought-stricken desert along the western coast.
		One of the most important inventions of the Incas was the elaborate system of stone roads and bridges they built to connect all the parts of the country.
		Beneath the Inca were the royal family, several levels of nobility, priests, the administrators and government experts, and the large mass of common people - craftsmen, farmers and soldiers.

	Civilization - Trade Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Civilization" can sometimes refer to human society as a whole, as in "A nuclear war would wipe out Civilization" or "I'm glad to be safely back in Civilization after being lost in the wilderness for 3 weeks." Additionally, it is used in this sense to refer to the potential global civilization.
		The earliest known civilizations originated in the Nile valley, China's Peiligang culture (discovered in 1977), Fertile Crescent, the Indus Valley (namely Mehrgarh and Harappa) and West Africa, where ancient peoples grouped together to form the first developed societies between the 10th and 4th millennia BC.
		Civilization uses usually religion to justify its behaviour, for example claiming that the un-civilized are savages, barbarians or the like, which, for their own good, should subjugate to the civilization, or their God(s).

	The Inca Civilization - Peruvian History by Peru Travels
		The Inca moved around large populations, either as a reward or punishment, and thus consolidated the expansion while drawing heavily from the knowledge of the cultures that had flourished prior to the Incas.
		The Inca's clan was the panaca, made up of relatives and descendants, except for the one who was the Inca's successor, who would then form his own panaca.
		The power of the clans and the Inca was tangible in every corner of the empire, but the might of the Incas reached its peak in the architecture of Cuzco: the Koricancha or Temple of the Sun, the fortresses of Ollantaytambo and Sacsayhuaman, and above all the citadel of Machu Picchu.

		For the Chimu and other Andean civilizations, which had no written language before Spain's conquest in the 16th century, the positions of the tombs are meant to tell later generations the order of the kings.
		Believing there is meaning in the distribution of the geoglyphs, which date from the mysterious Nazca period (1st century B.C. to the 6th century), Sakai examined satellite imagery of the site instead of aerial photographs, which conventionally had been used for the study of Nazca designs and were more expensive and of lower quality.
		The creators of the lines were in fact ancient people of the Nazca civilization (ca 100 B.C. to A.D. 700), but it remains unclear exactly why the geoglyphs were drawn on the plain.
