Peru And The Amason
Peru’s archaeological history reveals a highly advanced society, in spite of awesome odds. The earliest settlers crossed the Bering straits from Asia and drifted through the Americas thousands of years before Christ.
Even before the geralded Inca dynasty, the early Andean society appeared. Its sophisticated canal system increased farming productivity and gave the people time to produce ceramics and textiles. With these, the people established trade and cultural links with surrounding peoples.
Regional exchange of the Andean culture also brought knowledge of animal domestication, as well as distinctive weaving and pottery. Sizable towns grew, populated by artisans, merchants and religious officials.
Unlike the Andeans, the origins of the Inca dynasty are shrouded in mythology. The tales of Man Copac and his sister rising out of lake Titicaca as divine founders of a chosen race, became reality as the small tribe grew to supremacy, becoming the largest empire ever known in the Americas. Invading Spaniards later named the region Amazon.
