  • The Inca Empire known in the native Quechua language as Tawantinsuyu, which means "The Four Regions", was the largest empire in the world at its time, and the largest empire in the history of the pre-columbian Americas. The administrative, political, and military center of the empire was located in Cusco, modern-day Peru. The Inca civilization arose from the valley of Cusco in the Peruvian highlands sometime in the early 13th century, and the last Inca stronghold was conquered by the Spanish in 1572. From 1438 to 1533, the Incas used a variety of methods, from conquest to peaceful assimilation, to incorporate a large portion of western South America, centered on the Andean mountain ranges, including, besides Peru, large parts of modern Ecuador, western and south central Bolivia, northwest Argentina, north and central Chile, and a small part of southern Colombia, into a state comparable to the historical empires of Eurasia. The official language of the empire was Quechua, although hundreds of local languages and dialects of Quechua were spoken. Many local forms of worship persisted in the empire, most of them concerning local sacred Wak'as, but the Inca leadership encouraged the worship of Inti , the Inca sun god, and imposed its sovereignty above other cults such as that of Pachamama , the earth mother. The Incas considered the Emperor, called the Sapa Inca, to be the "son of the sun."
