INCAS OF PERU

Travel south to Peru and meet the fascinating Inca. Join Hiram Bingham as he braves the high altitude of the Andes in search of ancient ruins. Meet the "Ice Maiden" face-to face, and learn the myths of Lake Titiaca, the sun-god's birthplace. Find out why ancestor worship and mummy processions were important. Enter the time period when Pachacuti ruled and read how he reorganized the government, firmly established a strict form of taxation, and ordered the building of a great palace in the capital city of Cuzco. You'll also learn how the Inca built one of the world's greatest road systems, but used no wheeled vehicles. These topics are just of few of those covered in this exciting issue. Don't miss it!
