Daily life for the Incas was full of pomp and ceremony; they marked life changes, like birth and marriage, with elaborate rituals. They were innovative farmers and master builders who left behind the sky-high royal city of Machu Picchu. Yet, like the Aztecs and Mayas before them, the Incas were also crushed in the 16th century by Spanish explorers looking for gold. Though the empire did not survive, the Quechua language spoken by Andean villagers today, as well as farming and weaving methods, are echoes of the Incas; for kids who want to try this ancient craft, a how-to on making and using a backstrap loom should be lots of fun.
