During the 12th century, high up in the Andes Mountains of South America, the Inca people established their capital city, Cusco. The great city still stands today, in what is now the country of Peru, and it is far from the only remnant of the Inca culture to have a lasting impact on the world. This title explores the rise and fall of the Inca Empire. Readers will discover how the empire was governed, what daily life was like for its people, and much more.
