What evidence best supports the influence of the Moche culture on the Inca empire?
The best evidence supporting the influence of the Moche culture on the Inca empire would be the similarities in religious practices, artwork, and architecture between the two civilizations. Both cultures shared a reverence for nature, used similar iconography in their art, and constructed impressive ceremonial centers and pyramids. Additionally, archaeological findings of Moche artifacts in Inca sites suggest a cultural exchange or influence between the two civilizations.
How and why where the pyramids built?
The pyramids were built as tombs for the pharoahs. They started to work on them right as the new pharoah became king. Men built these huge structures without the help of equipment such as cranes and bulldozers. The ancient Egyptians used tools of copper, a softer metal than steel. Wooden wedges to help prise the stone from the quarry face and levers to help put the stones in place were also used in building the pyramids. Building a pyramid was dirty, difficult and dangerous work. It required meticulous planning and organization. To complete the Great Pyramid at Giza, one stone block was quarried, shaped and placed in position every two minutes for 20 years. It was this dangerous, hard and monotonous work done by thousands of paid workmen and craftsmen. Two varieties of stone were used, limestone and granite. The limestone which made up the bulk of the pyramid was quarried locally. The granite had to be brought from the quarries at Aswan to where the pyramid was being built. They were transported on the Nile River in massive reed boats. The average weight of one of the pyramid's stone block is two and half tons. Some of the Aswan blocks, however, weighed up to 70 tons. In the minds of the Ancient Egyptians the pyramid form served a very serious purpose. Ancient Egyptians had a strong belief in life after death. The pharaohs wanted their bodies to last forever, so they had pyramids built to protect their bodies after death. Each pyramid housed a pharaoh's preserved body. It also held the goods he would need in his next life to continue living as he had when he was alive. Granite doors, false passages and fake burial chambers were built in an attempt to confuse and stop robbers from robbing the pyramids. In spite of these precautions, all pyramids were robbed of their treasures by around 1000 B.C. Building plans showing how the pyramid was built have never been found, experts use present knowledge about construction to make some intelligent guesses. The Ancient Egyptians were an ingenious people. You cannot help to be impressed by the fearlessness the ancient builders exhibited in taking on such a colossal project. The limestone blocks were cut out in the quarries close the pyramid site. Most of these blocks were roughly cut to size. Once the limestone blocks quarried they were hauled on sledges along a causeway by oxen and workmen. Water was poured around the sledges to help them slide. A spiraling ramp of mud, brick and rubble was used to haul the blocks to the level where building was going on. A canal connected the pyramid site with the Nile. Here granite brought down from Aswan and fine limestone from Tura was unloaded. These were special stones that involved a lot of preparation in their quarrying, dressing and transportation. It is often believed, wrongly, that the pyramids were built by slaves. However they were actually made by workmen, craftsmen and artisans. This can be proven by the pyramid builder's tombs, towns and graffiti.
