pachacuti
in the 15th century, the incas emerged as a powerful state which, in the span of a century, formed the largest empire in pre-columbian america with their capital in cusco. the incas of cusco originally represented one of the small and relatively minor ethnic groups, the quechuas. gradually, as early as the thirteenth century, they began to expand and incorporate their neighbors. inca expansion was slow until about the middle of the fifteenth century, when the pace of conquest began to accelerate, particularly under the rule of the emperor pachacuti. under his rule and that of his son, topa inca yupanqui, the incas came to control most of the andean region, with a population of 9 to 16 million inhabitants under their rule. pachacuti also promulgated a comprehensive code of laws to govern his far-flung empire, while consolidating his absolute temporal and spiritual authority as the god of the sun who ruled from a magnificently rebuilt cusco. from 1438 to 1533, the incas used a variety of methods, from conquest to peaceful assimilation, to incorporate a large portion of western south america, centered on the andean mountain ranges, from southern colombia to northern chile, between the pacific ocean in the west and the amazon rainforest in the east. the official language of the empire was quechua, although hundreds of local languages and dialects were spoken. the inca referred to their empire as "tawantinsuyu" which can be translated as "the four regions" or "the four united provinces." many local forms of worship persisted in the empire, most of them concerning local sacred "huacas", but the inca leadership encouraged the worship of inti, the sun god and imposed its sovereignty above other cults such as that of pachamama. the incas considered their king, the sapa inca, to be the "child of the sun."
