The prevailing theory is that quipu, or khipu (a system of knotted strings) is not only a record-keeping system, but actually a type of language. There are accounts of Incan people "reading" or writing history into the strings, in addition to the clear indications that people can read now, of numbers. Unfortunately, after those observations, most of the quipu were destroyed because they were denounced as instruments of Satan, so there are only a limited number left to study.

Some scholars believe that the quipu don't contain language at all, and that they were only mnemonic devices helping their creators to tell stories they had already memorized. They are putting together a quipu database to try to tell whose theories are correct.

Inca nobles received education in specialized schools called "yachaywasi," where they were taught subjects like history, law, and religion by skilled tutors. Commoners, on the other hand, were educated within their communities by their families, learning practical skills like farming, weaving, and pottery making. Nobles also learned about leadership and warfare, while commoners focused on mastering trade and agricultural techniques.

The Spanish, led by Pizarro attempted, but never fully conquered the Inca.

The Incas were ruled by an emperor known as the Sapa Inca, who was considered both a political leader and a divine figure. The Sapa Inca held absolute power over the empire, which was organized into a hierarchical structure with various officials managing different regions. This centralized authority allowed the Incas to effectively govern their vast territory, implement agricultural and architectural projects, and maintain social order. The belief in the Sapa Inca's divine right to rule reinforced his status among the people.

The Inca wore masks as ceremonial and religious symbols, representing deities and supernatural beings from their belief system. Masks were also used in rituals and ceremonies to channel and embody the power of these spiritual entities. Additionally, masks were believed to provide protection and connect the wearer with the spiritual world.

The Inca built stone roads which allowed runners to carry verbal messages. The runners worked in relay teams stationed along the roads. One runner told the message to the next. Messages could travel 150 miles a day along these stone roads. This system of communication was important to the Inca because their empire spread out over thousands of mile.

Around 2000 Incas killed, 5000 taken prisoner.

The Incas viewed themselves as the chosen people of the sun god, Inti, and believed they were destined to rule over others. They saw their empire, Tawantinsuyu, as the center of the world and believed in expanding their influence through conquest. They also maintained diplomatic relations with neighboring tribes and cultures while imposing their own customs and beliefs on conquered territories.

The size of the Inca's house, known as a "kancha," can vary depending on the social status of the individual or family. In general, Inca houses were rectangular and relatively small, typically measuring around 5-7 meters in width and 10-15 meters in length. They were made of stone, adobe, and thatch, and often had one or two rooms.
