Although there was already discord and fighting amongst the Incans, the greatest single factor was the introduction of horrible new diseases by arriving Europeans.
they are powerful beings and most of them are immortal
The Incas had a dynasty with 14 or so emperors. Probably the most famous of these was the 11th Emperor Pachacuti who vastlty extended the empire's control. The Incan Emperor who had the misfortune of encountering Spanish Conquistador Francisco Pizarro was Emperor Atahualpa.
They were the single largest and wealthiest empire. They also made early contact with the spanish during the colonial era. The Mayan were the most advanced and the Incan were the last to go (technically we don't know how the Mayans went so you could say they went second to last).
The Inca expanded their empire primary through conquest. The Inca Empire existed from 1438 to 1533.
The Incan farmers grew too many crops, so most of the crops got put in to warehouses.
Atahualpa is one of the most familiar Incan leaders in my studies. This ruler was significant in that he was one who was taken in by the Spanish explorers putting trust in them therefore putting his people and the empire at risk.
The proper adjective for Inca is Incan. An example sentence: They traveled to South America to tour the Incan ruins. In Spanish, the proper adjective is Incaico, as in Imperio Incaico (Inca Empire)
The shrine at the top of the ziggurat was called a temple. It was considered the most sacred part of the ziggurat and was dedicated to a specific deity or god in Mesopotamian religion. Temples were where rituals and offerings were made to honor the gods.
Hmmmm....I'm stuck between Columbus Founding America and the founding of the Mighty Incan Empire.
There is no such thing as "the dom". If the question intends to ask about the Dome of the Rock Shrine, the shrine itself is holy to Muslims, not Jews. However, the "Rock" it covers is the Temple Mount, which is the most sacred site in Judaism. The reason that this place is so sacred is because it is where the holy of holies was in the Great Temples of Ancient Israel.
The Inca had a series of paved roads that allowed the army to travel and messages to be sent in relays.
Incas married between brothers and sisters mostly to keep bloodlines pure. The Sampa Inca had to be (and was prefered) of pure Inca Blood (Inca was the nobility of the Tawantinsuyu which is known as inca empire). One of the most noticeable examples of this can be seen between brother Huascar (from pure Incan blood line) and Atahualpa (considered illegitimate or a "bastard" due to his mother not being from royal incan bloodline) and caused a civil war in the Incan empire.

Several artifacts from the Incan Empire have been discovered, including pottery, jewelry, textiles, and metalwork. The most well-known artifact is perhaps the famous Incan agricultural terraces and ruins of Machu Picchu. Other notable artifacts include the Great Inca Road network, golden figurines, ceremonial objects like the Inti Raymi sun disc, and quipus, which were knotted cords used for record keeping.
Roman Catholic AnswerInteresting question. I recently found out that my local parish was a "shrine" and it is not exactly what I thought of as a "shrine". But it can be any holy place for different reasons, most generally, it is just a "prominent sacred locality." from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980In general, a holy place. It may be a box-shaped repository in which relics of a saint are preserved; or the sacred image or statue of Our Lord, the Blessed Virgin, or a saint in church or at home to which special devotion is given. But mainly shrines are prominent sacred localities. They may be the burial place of a saint, or where he or she lived or died, or where a heavenly apparition took place.
