The Inca did not have a written language. They had only an oral language. They kept records on rope with knots called quipu.

A Inca Quipu is a string with many knots used to record information as there was no system of writing during the Inca empire. The strings were often colored to represent something.

The metal that was commonly used for Incan art treasures was iron. In some cases, bronze and some obsidian rocks were also used.

The Incas were tricked by the Conqestadors to find the sacred jewels and gold of the untouched land. Once found, they were made slaves and when there were rebellions the Conquistador's massacred the indigenous Inca population.

Adults played mainly dice games associated with gambling. Kids played games associated with boards, and used beans as counters.

They also played tlachtli, which was played by hitting a rubber ball through the air using hips, thighs, and upper arms. They had to hit the ball through rings that were place at 27ft up in the air. The rings had decorations on them mostly like snakes or monkeys. The game of tlachtli was played by Aztec, Inca, Maya and Olmec. Unlike the Aztecs, the Incans did not kill the captain of the losing team.

The Mayans, Aztecs, and the Inca settled in different parts of the world. The Aztec in central Mexico, the Mayans in much of Central America and parts of Mexico, and the Inca in South America, particularly in the Andes Mountains of Peru. All of these groups however, originated from Asia. This is because of the migration of their ancestors from Asia when they crossed the Bering Strait. As the groups continued to migrate, each group stayed within that area and started their own culture.

it was called mita.

The Mayans introduced the concept of zero to mathematics and an astronomical calendar. Much of modern Mexican cuisine is Aztec, including the use of chilis and cocoa. They also domesticated the turkey.

Hernán Cortés was the leader that led the conquest of the ancient Aztec people.
