...Periodo 6 El maya, inca y azteca son algunas de las más grandes civilizaciones de la historia. Aunque los tres de ellos tienen muchas similitudes, tienen muchas diferencias también. A diferencia de las culturas europeas, se sabe poco sobre las antiguas culturas de las Américas. Sin embargo, lo que sí se sabe es fascinante. Estas culturas tenían ciudades complejas, pirámides grandes, cultivos cosechados, negociados con los vecinos, los ejércitos formados, y mucho más. A pesar de que estas culturas precolombinas eran brillantes y contribuyeron en gran medida a las culturas y civilizaciones modernas, eran muy diferentes. En primer lugar, los mayas se remonta a alrededor de 2600 aC, mientras que las civilizaciones inca y azteca son mucho más jóvenes, remonta a 1200 dC y 1325 dC. La civilización maya incluye hoy en día México, Guatemala, El Salvador, Belice y Honduras. La civilización inca se encuentra en las montañas de los Andes en lo que hoy es Perú. Los aztecas vivían en lo que hoy es la Ciudad de México. La Azteca, Maya e Inca todas cultivadas pero tenía diferentes técnicas. Los Aztecas construyeron jardines flotantes, mientras que los mayas quemaban bosques para plantar jardines y el Inca cultivó zonas en terrazas. Las culturas mayas y aztecas tenían un extenso sistema de escritura, pero los incas nunca hicieron uno. Los mayas influenciados matemáticas de hoy y los mayas y aztecas contribuido mucho a la escritura moderna y calendarios. Por otro lado, los incas contribuido mucho...

...The Maya, Aztec, and Inca were three civilizations that lived in Latin America during the middle ages. It is hard to overlook the fact that they had remarkable similarities, but also some differences.(castletown) Their class structures were similar, and they all valued religion. However, when it came to the roles and expectations of men and women, there are differences between the three races. Each civilization has similarities and differences socially, culturally, economically, politically, militarism, and diplomatically(castletown). In the Mayan civilization, kings, priests, and hereditary nobility were at the top of the social pyramid. Merchants were also relatively high status. However, the majority of people were peasants or slaves. The...

...del Vilcanota. Es la capital del Departamento del Cuzco y además, está declarado en la constitución peruana como la capital histórica del país. La ciudad de Cuzco según el Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática es la séptima ciudad más poblada del Perú y albergaba en el año 2012 una población de 405.842 habitantes. Antiguamente fue la capital del Imperio inca y una de las ciudades más importantes del Virreinato del Perú. Declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1983 por la Unesco, suele ser denominada, debido a la gran cantidad de monumentos que posee, como la "Roma de América". BANDERA MONEDA Fundación y época incaica Dos leyendas incaicas atribuyen su fundación a su primer jefe de estado, un personaje legendario llamado Manco Cápac, junto a su hermana y consorte Mama Ocllo. En ambas se afirma que el lugar fue revelado por el dios sol (Inti) a los fundadores después de una peregrinación iniciada al sur del Valle Sagrado de los Incas. Por datos arqueológicos y antropológicos se ha ido estudiando el verdadero proceso de la ocupación del Cuzco. El consenso apunta a que, debido al colapso del reino de Tiahuanaco se produjo la migración de su pueblo. Este grupo de cerca de 500 hombres se habría establecido paulatinamente en el valle del río Huatanay, proceso que culminaría con la fundación...

That way, patients were separated literally and symbolically of doctors, nurses and nuns by the treacherous Amazon River. During the celebration of his birthday on the side of doctors, Guevara decide you'd rather spend your time with patients who had become so fond of and despite his severe asthma and protests about the dangers Granado-jumping and nothing to the other side. His journey metaphorically river marks a significant change in identity, the point at which you realize that what people need is not his scientific knowledge as a physician, but his desire for social change. Other particularly poignant moments come when Guevara and Granado refuse to wear rubber gloves to treat people with leprosy because it means a hierarchical division among themselves; At one point in the film, we see both Ernesto and Alberto meeting homeless communist couple is presented as a poor and struggling family. This scene is known as the "turning point" for Ernesto said "It was one p.m. colder...

Partiendo de ello, se asume que la religión, como medio de expresión cultural, no es diferente. En el Perú, la religión se ha visto determinada...

...tools, both flooded with information good and bad, and available to any researcher anywhere in the world. In my search for information on Inca architecture, even some of the smallest changes to how I searched made a big difference in the quality of information in my results. My first test was a basic search on Google's homepage for “Inca Architecture”. As one might expect, the number one result for my query was wikipedia. A site that is extremely useful to the everyday person, but somewhat controversial when being utilized for school research. Following wikipedia seemed to be a number of homemade websites with brief descriptions of Inca architecture containing somewhat sketchy citations, if any. There were about 4 or 5 of these sites and they all seemed to be somewhat novice summaries of books about the Incas. I then changed the “c” in Inca to a “k” to see if that would improve my results at all. Doing so only seemed to alter a few of the results on the first page of google, which were now pointing to photo galleries of Inka architecture. Disappointed in my results, I then headed over to Google scholar to try my luck. I searched “Inca Architecture” and was again disappointed when I saw a bunch of weird results that said [CITATION] next to them and no apparent links to anywhere. Beneath those results were a couple of articles titled “INCA: an agent-based network control architecture” which seemed to be about some sort of complicated computer system and completely unrelated to...

...* The Inca labor draft was base on a communal effort and progress of the community, rather than any monetary value and plan * The Spanish had a similar plan for the country, but changed the original plan to something that was nor the originial Inca plan, which caused problems for spain later down the road * The Incas had paid tribute before, but never at the level at which the Spanish wanted them to be organized and developed * Pizarro made the tributes a very important form of government intake that became crucial to the community * However, the tribute system were not effective in the way that the Spanish wanted them to be, and only the Spanish actually paid for their tributes responsively and actively * The ecomienda was an important way of receiving labor in a cheap way, and a way to receive labor from the majority of its citizens at cheap prices * The Corregidor, who was supposed to be more favorable to the native Amerians, instead was a tactic by the Spanish to receive more money in tribute, due to the larger amount of Native Americans which were paying the tributes all of a sudden * The Mita increased the amount of workers in the system, but had a strange effect on the economy and the community, as many of the workers did not return home from work a larger amount of time, reducing the population of the surrounding areas * However, the Mita system was rather effective in delivering the tribute and labor for the government in crucial times ...

...Not until a July afternoon in 1911 has the Inca city of Machu Picchu been touched since the end of Inca civilization. The city contains ruined homes with walls of “white granite ashlars”. Travel through the vast forests of Peru to find out this mysterious city! You will want to visit the city of Machu Picchu because of its architecture , it is a world renowned archaeological site, and the city is an important cultural site in Latin America. One reason you should visit the city of Machu Picchu is because of its architecture. When Hiram Bingham entered Machu Picchu, the explorer “gaped” in his amazement at a huge alter carved from the mountainside - the intihuatana, or “hitching post of the sun”. He was flabbergasted at the sight of such an enormous alter. Continuing forth, Hiram Bingham marveled at the “El Torreon” - a semicircle tower. A pair of three-sided temples with triple windows held him in immense excitement. The architecture of Machu Picchu makes it a site worth the travel. About 200 elegantly detailed structures remain in this mysterious city of the Inca Empire. In Europe, the attractions are busy, or even overcrowded, and expensive. The silent...

...The Incan civilization function as a highly independent, multi-ethnic empire. They developed great farming techniques and storage that was able to efficiently provide food to their huge empire even through droughts. For instance, they created a farming ground that consisted of three huge impressions that was supported by different layers of rocks that kept the soil cool and well furnished. The Inca did not use money, so instead they relied of exchange like food for protection which benefited both the people and the estate. Cuzco served as their capital city and created a huge road system that connected all their city-states together. However, the Inca’s was ruled by one ruler who was known as the unique lord. He was the military leader, political...

...The Incas originate in South America, specifically Southeastern Peru. the Inca civilization began in ancient Peru between C. 1400 and 1533 CE, and their empire eventually extended across western South America from Quito in the north to Santiago in the south. They had a great agriculture, with amazing drawings and etc. As with other ancient Americas cultures, the historical origins of the Incas are difficult to free themselves from the founding myths they themselves created. The rise of the Inca empire was spectacularly quick. Inca rule was, much like their architecture, based on interlocking units. Ten kindred groups of nobles also known as Panaqa, were at the top with the ruler. The Inca capital of Cuzco was the religious and administrative...

...I choose to look up Machu Pichu on Google Earth. The elevation is at about 8000 ft, although it is hard to give an accurate number to the foot, because Machu Pichu is on the hillside of a mountain. The first thing you notice when looking at Machu Pichu ion google earth is that it is on an insanely steep hillside. It is at the very top of a hill, and there are two valleys on either side, one has a lake in it and the other seems to have a stream or river running through it. This site is supposed to be more religious and not an hugely populated city like Cusco is, but you can tell why this location might have been picked. It is easily defendable due to its placement on higher ground and has sources of water on either side. It looks like it has quite a good potential for agriculture that can grow at very high elevations. The area around Machu Pichu looks very lush and green and there seem to be some fields there already. Obviously there might be problems with getting their water sources up to that elevation, since it is so much higher than moth the lake and the river. Machu Pichu looks to be a very isolated location, there is almost nothing to be seen in the mountains around it that look like civilization. There is one long, steep road that razorbacks up the hill to get to Machu Pichu, but it would be a very long and tedious ride to get there using a car, so I can only imagine what it would have been like for travelers to reach the area when they had to travel by foot. This...

...journey of discovery began on the island of Papua, New Guinea. There, in 1974, a local named Yali asked Diamond a deceptively simple question: "Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo (material goods), but we black people had little cargo (material goods) of our own?" Diamond realized that Yali's question penetrated the heart of a great mystery of human history -- the roots of global inequality. Why were Europeans the ones with all the cargo? Why had they taken over so much of the world, instead of the native people of New Guinea? How did Europeans end up with what Diamond terms the Agents of Conquest: Guns, Germs and Steel? It was these agents of conquest that allowed 168 Spanish conquistadors to defeat an Imperial Inca army of 80,000 in 1532, and set a pattern of European conquest which would continue up to the present day. Diamond knew that the answer had little to do with ingenuity or individual skill. From his own experience in the jungles of New Guinea, he had observed that native hunter-gatherers...

...The Inca people rules an empire along the pacific coast it was also the largest empire in the pre-columbian America. The Inca peoples official language was quechua, and they called their empire tawantinsuyu. The empire was divided into four parts which intersected at the capital. The empire reached its peak after the conquests of emperor Huayna capac. He reigned from 1493 until around 1527 when died of smallpox. At its peak the empire extended from the border of Ecuador to about 50 miles south of santiago chile. The Inca empire originated at the city of cuzco which now is called peru. It started out a small state until it rapidly expanded into a vast empire during the 15th century. While the Inca did not develop what we would consider a formal...

...environment of the Inca Empire; high elevation, low temperature, low precipitation, steep mountains and poor vegetation. All of these characteristics influenced how the Incas lived in every way: what they ate, how they managed food and living conditions, and ways of surviving. The Incas developed methods and systems like the Chaquis system, which helped with communication, and system of warehouses and granaries to evenly distribute food throughout the empire. The Inca Empire was located at very high altitude on the Andes Mountains. As a result of this high altitude, the level of oxygen and the temperature was very low. Vegetation was scarce and the trees very short because of the cold and the low level of oxygen. At the level of Tierra Templada, which included many small trees and shrubs, the temperature was cold. There was also very little rain in the Inca Empire; less than 2 inches of rain a year; the land was as almost as dry as any desert. The mountains were very steep and hard to climb up and down. The only crop they could plant on these conditions was the potato. The potato was a very important staple food for the Incas. Along with the potatoes, the Incas ate cuy, which was guinea pig meat. Since the mountains were very steep, there wasn’t much flat land to grow potatoes. So, the Incas created a method of terrace farming where they would make large steps to grow food on. The Incas also built roads out of stone to be able to walk down the mountains with ease. The Incas used to roads...
