INCA CIVILIZATION

The Inca civilization was totally different to the current, for example the Inca of the high class
used to wear the badge that was in the fringes caught with a multicolored bead, decorated at
the top with the feathers of birds.

The typical clothing was a rectangular robe that was placed by the head, broad, which is
conformed to the waist with a tie and whose extension, reached to the ankles and over the
dress, it was carrying a layer of alpaca wool. Now there is an infinite number of designs and
styles that we can dress up. The most common garments are the jeans, the poles, dresses, shirts,
jackets, etc. We can choose a variety of clothes.

To send a message from one site to another, the Incas used to the chasquis so that they can
carry the message, they travelled great distances to deliver the messages. Now we do not need
to run in order to communicate, thanks to technology, today we can easily make a call, send a
message, even make a video call, and deliver a message instantly.

What did they use to do with their foods? The Incas used to store their food in deposits
denominated Collcas, these were built in stone and were located on the slopes of the hills in
cool and well ventilated. Now, thanks to the invention of the coolers, our foods are preserved,
to be ingested at some moment.

With regard to education, the amautas were the masters of that time and education used to be
based on hear and memorize, there were two types of school, for boys was the yachaywasi and
for girls was the Acllahuasi, only for royalty. Now, education is equal for women and men, starts
from the garden, followed by primary, secondary and higher education. There are a variety of
courses and a teacher by subject, through the use of computers that facilitates the study.

The buildings are an example of Inca architecture, for its innovative construction system, the
Incas did not use any type of cement, they used to use a locking system so effective that has
allowed that to this day remain standing. Now, it is a very common the use of cement in the
buildings, which often do not support telluric movements, natural disasters and quickly fall
apart.

The Inca period was better because all the activities that they carried out, they did them in an
artisanal way, there weren't industrial plants which will contaminate the environment, in
addition to prioritize a friendly treatment with nature. Their food was consumed naturally,
without the use of fertilizers, pesticides, or other components that could affect their health.
