This leadership allowed the Inca to compete with other indigenous powers. The sinchio were warriors and had strong knowledge in politics which allowed them to take down the Channca and allying themselves with the Lupca (Conrad and Demes, 107).

    There are many myths about the start of the Inca Empire. It is known that the Incas started as a single family tribe around 1200 AD. One religion says that Viracocha created the world and people. When these people started fighting with each other, Viracocha turned them to stone. Later, he returned, created the sun and moon, recreated humans, and spread them across the earth.
