More traditional (traditionaler) history has the Incan Empire being only about a century old when Europeans arrived, and the Incan civilization scarcely older than that.

Ideas are that they mooched off the two civilizations which preceded them in the area, much how the Aztecs are considered to have mooched off the Toltecs and other cultures in the region after migrating there from what is now the western United States.

the mite records also show how two earlier civilisations, the Whari and the Tiwanaku, moved higher into the Andes as temperatures rose during the 11th century

All of those Llamas must have caused global warming.

Al Gore would have known what to do.

"This could reflect the advent of European diseases to which indigenous people and livestock had no resistance"


Kind of forgetting that little Civil War amongst the Inca leadership that wreaked so much havok and destruction.... (the reason Pizarro had such an easy time conquering them with only a handful of soldiers)

Tards are always ready to immediately blame the 'evil white man' for things they didnt cause.....

Yes they were (evil white men) (Spanish), armed with the latest of (military technology), who also brought(European diseases)with them and caused the single most devastating loss of life in the Americas. Killing off indigenous people (Inca), and livestock, (llama)as well. I doubt those civil wars had much to do with the deaths of tens of millions.
