@@bennu547knots actually have a message, not a just numerical record. Quipucamayoc were not just accountants, as we can see in chronicles of Peru. Writing system existed, at least under Pachacutec governement, where he instructed the creation of Poqenkancha and the record of "Quellca" (which means letter-writing according to Holguin's dictionary).
What probably didn't help the Inca was that the Spanish invaded in the middle of a civil war. The emperor and his heir had both just died of what was likely smallpox, and two different princes went to war for the throne.
I'm sure it didn't help either that the conquistadors and their men were all veterans of the Reconquista or taking back of Iberia from Islamic moorish occupiers. And what year did the Muslims invade europe?? 7-Eleven lol fr tho
I didn't know that the Incas were at war with each other before this! It's not just Europe not getting along with each other,its the African trial kingdoms and the Native Americans and these days The Middle East. No one gets along with their neighbors! Europe just used the world as it's battlefield which makes them loom larger in their squabbling.
It's unfortunate that the Quipu ("knots": knotted records) prior to the Conquista were never actually deciphered. Research to this day still tries to understand them. It's like someone were to read the computer text file in full HEX not knowing where in memory belong to and for what purpose.

Not very ancient. In fact, they are not taught as ancient civilisation. They only existed for a few hundred years. The most recently discovered ancient civilisation of Peru is about 5000 years old, Caral. But there are many more preIncan civilisations that are taught as ancient civilisations. Eg moche, mochica, and I foget the rest as it is over 8 years since my child left primary school in Peru. So, Incas are not classified as Ancient, just pre Spanish/colonial.
