There are many mysteries surrounding the Incas. Where did the Incas originate? And how did they come to rule over their vast empire that incorporated mountaintops, tropical jungles, and coastal lands? What were the most notable achievements of their great kings? What did their temples and monuments look like, especially the capital city of Cuzco and their breathtaking mountaintop settlement at Machu Picchu in modern-day Peru?

A fact that is all too clear
Any additional comments?
It is fascinating to write the strong history superiority that is described by the author and the views of the Spanish conquistadors towards the Incas that were possible during this period of history and to recognize how these circumstances shaped the type of history that was written during this period, a fact that is all too clear to overlook.

Excellent historical history!!!
Any additional comments?
Excellent historical history. A must if you are going to Peru and the region. That is, for those involved in the culture, the history, and a genuine sociological description of what lead up to the present.

The writer explains step by step how he continued. I got him a unique and interesting man who should have done more great things--through this was basically what he is known for.

I definitely love this AUDIObook
Any additional comments?
I definitely love this AUDIObook. I show it every year in my classroom when we study the Inca. I get my students are regularly fixed with the conversations about how Inca did their stonework. By the process...this is a middle school classroom.

Filled with a lot of historical events
Any additional comments?
Filled with a lot of historical events and gave a wonderful look back at the short history these marvelous people and their culture. The writer wrote it many years after the time there and he does over embellish for impact but that's fine.

Nothing like history to grab my attention. I fancy listening about the Incas because they are descendants of the BOOK OF GREAT people.

Not very balanced
Called the inca 'weak' for being taken over by the Spanish? Very colonialist take
