Here is what we know so far: There is a faous Inca site called Machu Pichu in Peru
They ate lots of grains, corn, beans, avo and milk
They had to travel the very rocky steep Andies Mountains to send messages from the North of the Empire to the South
They love the colours red and aquamarine
They build houses of stone
They had no language but they count count. They used a "quipu"
They loved bright colours and head dresses
Potatoes come from Peru/The Incas. There are more varieties of potatoes than just the round ones we eat in South Africa.
Here are some more very good research sites:
