· Maps of the Andes region and Inca lands showing prominent population centers and geographic features
· A concise, informative chronology of the rise and fall of Inca civilization, from the earliest evidence of cultural life to their destruction at the hands of Pizarro and his conquistadors

They were isolated in a forbidding landscape and lacking in what many would consider some essential components of progress (writing, iron, the wheel, trading markets). Yet the Incas created one of the most influential and innovative empires the world has ever seen, demonstrating an astonishing mastery of engineering, mathematics, astronomy, agriculture, medicine, politics, and more.
