The Inca Empire was the largest in the Americas before European contact. This documentary covers its full history from early Andean civilizations like the Chavín and Moche to the rise of the Inca in Cusco, their expansion under leaders like Pachacuti, and the empire’s advanced systems of agriculture, engineering, and communication. It also explores the role of religion, society, and conquest, and follows the events that led to the empire’s fall after the arrival of the Spanish. The Inca legacy still shapes life in the Andes today.Chapters:
