The Inca civilization arose sometime in the early 13th century and included seventeen different Inca rulers that spanned from 1200 A.D. - 1533 A.D. The Inca Empire, called Tawantinsuyu by its subjects (Quechua for the "Realm of the Four Parts”) was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America, and at its height, this empire ruled over ten million subjects until its fall to the Spanish Conquest. In this episode I give a sweeping overview of the Inca empire: where they originated from, what gods they worshipped (namely the mysterious Viracocha), how they protected their royal bloodlines via in-breeding, their human sacrifices, their connection to the elongated skull culture of Paracas and much more.
