Later this year we'll be getting a series on The Inca: An Empire Out of Thin Air!
At the height of Inca power, they ruled the largest pre-Columbian empire in the Americas, with a dominion stretching from the Amazon rainforest to the highest peaks of the Andes. Despite lacking basic technologies such as the wheel, the Inca built cities at elevations where visitors found it hard to even breathe, and maintained a road network so efficient that royals in Cusco could eat fresh fish delivered by hand from the coast. This series will delve into the empire’s history, from its founding and ascendancy, to civil war and fall under Spanish pressure.
