The Incas and the Egyptians were two very different groups of people but somehow they both ended up having many similar elements in their cultures. They had such similar elements that Victorian-era scholars concluded that the two cultures were certainly children of the Golden age parent, “Atlantis”. The Incas arose around the 12th century A.D. in the Andes region, but they were not conquered until 1572 by the Spanish. The Inca’s started truly expanding under the rule of their eighth emperor, Viracocha Inca. Using their military power, they defeated the Ayarmaca kingdom in the south and took over the Urubamba Valley. The Inca kingdom ultimately extended to the southern end of the Titicaca Basin and miles north to the Cajamarca and Chimu kingdoms.
