About the book: 2014 / The book tells about one of the world's greatest imperial models - the "Inca Empire". Of all the Indian tribes living in South America, only the Peruvian Quechua tribes, who created the powerful Inca Empire, achieved the greatest success and actually formed a real empire similar to the European ones. It inherited the centuries-old traditions of earlier civilizations, but arose from a conglomerate of fighting tribes, whose leaders stuffed their enemies with ash and straw and drank beer from human skulls.

With the help of this system, the Incas managed to mobilize the labor resources of a huge country on an unprecedented scale..
