The
board of Inca zone (1,450-1,535)
[The first date is wrong.
According to all guides in Cuzco Inca culture
begins at about 1200 A.C. reaching it's Inca
empire at about 1450 A.C.
And also the second date of 1535 with the
alleged end of the Inca empire of 1535 is
wrong, because Inca culture is in resistance
until today in the high mountains against
racist Christians with their centers in Lima
and Rome].

<The Inca
empire (1450-1535)
Following the successful campaign of the
Chanca war, the grand Inca ruler, Pachacutec,
immediately undertook the expansion of Inca
territory through conquest by 1450 A.C. Tupac
Inca, who succeeded to the Cusco throne in
1471, extended the Tawantinsuyo Empire [this
is the Quechua name of the Inca Empire] nearly
of its ultimate limits, covering great part of
the Andean area.
According the empire's control policy,
administrative centers were established in
every conquered region. These centers followed
cultural, social and economic patterns of the
Incas and the urban plan of the city of Cusco.
The formal and iconographic features of
textilery, ceramics and metallurgy show too
the imposed Cusco cultural patterns.>
<In every valley of the Ica region we find
urban centers built in accordance to Inca
planning and architectural techniques. New
administrative buildings are erected and
others, modified in the local urban center of
La Centinela in the Chincha valley.
In the Pisco valley, some 45 kilometers
inland, the Tambo Colorado administrative
center is edified to control the regional
economy. The Inca presence is not so obvious
in the Ica valley although some minor
structures are noted along the native urban
centers.
In the Rig Grande of Nasca drainage the Incas
built two control centers: Tambo del Collao in
the Ingenio valley and Paredones in the Nasca
valley. In Paredones, the plan, the masonry
and the use of worked stone, clearly follow
the same pattern as in buildings of the
capital of the empire.>
