gods through art. At the time, Inca would use totem
poles and various types of sculptures to resemble their
gods. For example Inti, (the sun god) was resembled by a
golden disc carved from gold mined from the ground. Also, Inca had
different types of materials to create their art from. In fact, the

supplies would be dug up or cut down. Artists would be able to make
jewelry and sculptures with these materials. A side from the emperor,
