A History of the Inca

Ep. 2: Welcome to the Andes


Listen Later

Welcome once again to A History of the Inca!

This time we are getting the lay of the land. Literally. First we, discuss the geography, dominated by the imposing Andes.  Next, we tackle the climate and explain how El Nino and other natural events can cause havoc.

Resources such as food, water and materials are discussed briefly.  Finally, we talk about how the native people were able to adapt to the harsh environment and how they formed unique family units called ayllus.
