Mayan writing did not spread to the Incas primarily due to geographic and cultural differences. The Maya civilization was located in Mesoamerica, while the Inca Empire thrived in the Andean region of South America, leading to limited interaction between the two cultures. Additionally, the Incas had their own systems of record-keeping, such as quipu, which relied on knotted strings rather than a written language. These factors contributed to the distinct development of each civilization's communication methods.
