The Inca Empire and the Andean Civilizations

This is a course on the Inca Empire and the Andean Civilizations. We begin as far back as possible, searching for the earliest inhabitants of this region. And then follow the developments of this isolated, unique and pristine culture. The Andean civilization was one of five civilizations in the world deemed by scholars to be "pristine", that is indigenous and not derivative from other civilizations. Welcome to this journey of discovery into this mysterious civilization of which relatively little is still known.
