The Inca Empire
was the most vast in the Americas before the european invasion, and at
its peak was quite large even by world standards. The city of Cuzco was
its administrative, political and military center. The Incas used
conquest and peaceful (if cohersive) assimilation to incorporate the
many nations that they subjugated including most of modern Ecuador,
Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, and Chile.

Nazca lines are a
large group of enormous geoglyphs located in the Nazca Desert on a high
plain that extends 53 miles between. This plateau can be found between
the towns of Nazca and Palpa in Peru. They
were build by the Nazca culture between the years 200 BCE and 700 CE.
Hundreds of figures, depict hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, and lizards
with varying complexity. The Nazca lines cannot be recognized as
coherent figures except from the air. (Lineas de Nazca -
