Inca Empire
Sapa Inca or simply Inca was the ruler of the
Inca Empire, whose domain initially
extended to the curacazgo of Cuzco and
then to Tahuantinsuyo, a political entity that
existed in western South America from the
13th to the 16th century. The term Cápac
Inca was also used.
The Sapa Inca or Sapa inka, also known
as Apu ("divinity"), Inka Qhapaq ("mighty
Inca"), or simply Sapa ("the only one"),
was the ruler of the curacazgo of Cuzco
and, later, the emperor of Inca Empire
(Tahuantinsuyo) and the Neo-Inca State.
The lowest level of the social pyramid in the Inca Empire
included servants, slaves, and prisoners of war. These
people were in a subordinate position and provided labor
and services to the higher social classes. They carried out
agricultural work, construction, domestic tasks and
assisted the Inca nobles and officials in various activities.
Servants offered their labor in exchange for protection,
while slaves were owned by their masters and prisoners of
war were used for state projects.
Within the Inca Empire, there were specialized social
groups such as artisans and agricultural communities. The
artisans stood out in the elaboration of textiles and
ceramics, producing products of high quality and beauty.
Farming communities grew crops such as corn and
potatoes, using advanced techniques to maximize food
production in mountainous regions. Both groups played a
crucial role in the economy and daily life of the empire,
ensuring the provision of necessary goods and food.
