Download or read book The Incas written by Carolina Orsini and published by White Star Publishers. This book was released on 2012 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume is dedicated to the presentation of the Incas from the information that has come down to us from ancient records, from mythology and from archaeology. Drawing upon the latest researches and sources on the subject, the volume seeks to unfold to the larger public the historical conditions, reasons and events that led to Incas' success between the 13th and 15th centuries AD in imposing their domination upon the numerous populations native to the vast Andean territory. In presenting the historical records and archaeological evidences that relate the conquests and deeds of the sovereigns, from the legendary Manco Capac to Tupac Amaru, the last 'Son of the Sun,' this book provides an understanding of how the Incas developed from a small ethnic group to become an imperial power. In addition, special attention is given to in-depth examinations that enable the reader to understand the complex structure of Incan society and its political, economic and religious organization. Following the winding path of the Urubamba River across the so-called Sacred Valley, the heart of the empire, this volume, with the support of splendid images, visits the famous archaeological sites where, in a magnificent collaboration with the environment, the Incas were able to mold their own history through the construction of roads, hanging bridges, sanctuaries and cities. The Incas developed a culture that was the end result of a long process of transformation which involved all the thousand-year old Pre-Hispanic civilizations of the Peruvian area: they were however able, more than any predecessor or challenger, to build relationships and dominate far-flung and extremely varied territory. For this reason, they remain the unifying symbol of the modern Andean nations. AUTHOR: Carolina Orsini (1972) is curator of the extra-European Collections of the Civic Museums' Applied Art Collection of the Castello Sforzesco, Milan. For nearly a decade she has undertaken - and still undertakes - field work in the Peruvian Andes, where she directs the works of the Antonio Raimondi Archaeology and Anthropology Mission, in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and various Peruvian institutions. Orsini graduated in Indigenous Civilizations of America at the University of Bologna; she obtained a diploma in archaeology at the High School for Cultural Heritage of the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa and she subsequently obtained the Ph.D at the University of Bologna with a thesis on the landscape archaeology of the Chacas Valley in Peru. She is member of the national board of the Peruvian archaeologists and is one of the Italian representatives for the Corpus Americanensium Italicum project of Brussels' Academy of Sciences. In recent years she has collaborated with many Italian and foreign museum institutions as guest researcher and as scientific consultant for American-themed exhibitions, and has organized various exhibitions on non-European cultures at the Castello Sforzesco. Orsini has written many scientific articles about American-Indian cultures, besides numerous monographs on the ancient Pre-Hispanic cultures of Peru. Colour illustrations
Download or read book The Incas written by Gordon Francis McEwan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-01-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defying many of the supposed rules of civilization building, and lacking the advantages of a written language, hard metals, the wheel, or draft animals, the Incas forged one of the greatest imperial states in history. The Incas: New Perspectives offers a revealing portrait of the ancient Andean empire from the earliest stages of its development to its final capitulation to Pizzarro in the mid-16th century. In recent years researchers have employed new tools to get to the heart of the mysterious Inca culture. Drawing on recent work in archaeology, anthropology, ethnohistory, and other sources, The Incas provides the most up-to-date interpretations of Inca culture, religion, politics, economics, and daily life available. Readers will discover how the Incas discovered medicines still in use and kept records using knotted cords; how Inca builders created masterful highways and stone bridges; and how the inhabitants of seemingly unfarmable lands came to give the world potatoes, beans, corn, squashes, tomatoes, avocados, peanuts, and peppers.
