This empire was very big and advanced culture in the american continent but it lasted only one century. The Incas were a peruvian tribu that spoke Quechua language and their capital was Cuzco.
The incas believed in many gods because they were polytheistic but one of their main gods was Inti (god of the sun). According to Inca mythology there were three worlds and they were created by their god Viracocha. These three worlds were:
Hanan Pacha (Heaven): it was a world in which only good people can go by crossing a bridge made of hair.
Kay Pacha (present world): it was the world in which all the humans live.
Uku Pacha (world of the dead): it was the world in which all the kids that did´t born and all the things under the earth were.
