final locations in the Olmec temples and palaces. Furthermore, the Olmec tribe had one of the largest empires in Mesoamerica and would be the central empire from which the other realms of the Aztecs and Mayans would branch off of the Olmec’s. These incredible accomplishments would lead the Olmec’s to have the rich culture which Mesoamerica is…

Society and Culture The society of the Inca Empire was based on two classes: the ruling class and the peasants. The emperor was referred to as ‘Inca’ or ‘Sapa Inca’. His meals were served from golden dishes. The Inca never wore one cloth twice. The noblemen hailed from the capital Cusco, and they aided the emperor in governance. Most inhabitants were farmers (Andrushko et al. 2006: 63). They produced their food and clothes. The major crops grown were tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and squash. The…

At first glance, the expected response from France was that it would aid the Hapsburgs in eliminating Protestant forces rising in the Germanic Principalities, yet…

The cities they built are still standing today. Like in the story the Inca had a vast empire they had large cities that stretched from all over South America. The population of the Inca Empire when it was invaded by Spanish conquistadors in 1533 was over ten million people. They had over 10 cities that are estimated to have had over one hundred thousand people living in them. This is unheard of for an empire of that age.
