No. The Incan Empire was exactly the 100th largest empire in history, with a total land area of 2 million km2. The largest empire in history was the British Empire, with a total land area of 33.7 million km2.
Genghis Khan rose from humble beginnings to establish the largest land empire in history.
Genghis Khan died in 1227- not from violence, but from illness. His successors continued to expand his empire. In less than 50 years, the Mongols conquered territory from China to Poland. In so doing, they created the largest unified land empire in history.

The largest contiguous empire (the largest empire confined to a single land mass) was the Mongol Empire which, at its largest extent covered 33,000,000 sq km or 12,741,000 sq miles, some 22% of the earth's total land area. The Mongol Empire was the second largest empire after the British Empire which was a maritime empire and not confined to a single land mass. The British Empire was the largest empire in history. At it's peak the Brirish Empire covered 36.6 million km² of land and contained around a quarter of the worlds population. After World War II much of the British Empire territories declared independence. Most still retain a close relationship with Britain, some even choosing to retain the British Monarch.
