Little is known about the early years of the Inca people. Beginning in about C.E. 1100, however, they began to attack neighboring groups from their capital city of Cuzco. During the reign of their Sapa Inca, or king, Pachacuti, beginning in about 1438, the Inca came to dominate a kingdom that was about the size of the 13 American colonies and included almost the whole of the Andes Mountains. After Pachacuti’s death, his sons continued in their father’s footsteps, conquering lands as far north as Ecuador, as far south as Chile, and as far east as Argentina and Bolivia.
