Hardback. Condition: Good. Up to now, little has been known about the life of the ordinary Inca during the Inca empire?earlier works describe only the culture of the ruling class.

Over 50 illustrations and photographs of Inca life, artifacts, and archaeological sites bring the social, political, economic, religious, and cultural aspects of Inca civilization to life.
