Inca Construction
Stone Building
- The Inca were able to construct stone structures where each piece fit so perfectly together they didn't need mortar. You can't even fit a knife between the pieces
- The Inca used river rock to shape the pieces of stone for these structures
Terrace Farming
- Since the Inca lived in the mountains, flat ground was hard to find.
- They used the mountains to their advantage by cutting steps into the mountains for farming.
- This is known as terrace farming
