In addition to their architectural marvels, the Inca were adept agriculturalists, cultivating a wide variety of crops in diverse environments. Their use of terraced fields, irrigation channels, and crop rotation techniques allowed them to sustainably support their growing population and thrive in challenging terrain.

The Inca’s understanding of astronomy was highly advanced, as evidenced by their precise astronomical observations and sophisticated calendar systems. Their temples and ceremonial sites were often aligned with celestial events, reflecting their reverence for the cosmos and their belief in the interconnectedness of the universe.

Beyond their technological achievements, the Inca left a rich cultural legacy that continues to resonate in modern-day Peru. Their language, Quechua, is still spoken by millions, and their traditions, art, and spiritual beliefs are celebrated throughout the Andean region.
