印加英文简介

印加英文简介

The Inca ruled a large, wealthy empire in South America. They accomplished amazing feats of engineering and built a complex civilization.The Inca had no written language, but they still recorded many details about their life. They kept track of gold, land, crops, and other things by using knotted strings. The length and color of the strings, and the spacing of the knots, all had meaning. Specially trained people could “read” the strings.WHAT WAS THE INCA EMPIRE?The Inca Empire was a vast kingdom in the Andes Mountains of South America. Inca emperors controlled a huge area and ruled millions of people. It was the largest civilization in South America before the arrival of Europeans.According to Inca legend, the Inca first lived near Lake Titicaca in southeastern Peru. The legend says the first Inca emperor, Manco Capac, led the Inca north to the fertile valley of Cuzco. They arrived in Cuzco (in southern Peru) about AD 1200 and conquered the people there. Cuzco became the Inca’s capital city.Over time, the Inca conquered many neighboring groups. The Inca Empire grew large and rich. Centered in Peru, the empire extended over high mountains, grassy plateaus, fertile valleys, jungles, and coastal land. It covered parts of what are now Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.REMARKABLE BUILDINGSThe Inca constructed impressive buildings out of stone. The Inca did not use the wheel. So to move large boulders, they used wooden rollers and ramps made of dirt. They shaped the boulders into blocks with axes and smoothed them with sand and water. Then they stacked the blocks to make walls, arches, and other structures.The Inca shaped their building blocks with great accuracy. The blocks fit together so tightly that a knife will not fit between them! For this reason, they didn’t need to use mortar (a binding material put between blocks or bricks).The Inca built many large temples, palaces, plazas, and forts. Cuzco itself was a marvel of Inca engineering. Gold plating nearly covered Cuzco’s great Temple of the Sun. In the temple’s courtyard, goldcarvings showed scenes from Inca life. Gold corn appeared to grow out of golden soil. Golden llamas grazed on golden grass.Another spectacular Inca city was Machu Picchu. It was built on a ridge high in the Andes, above Cuzco. The ruins of the city were discovered in 1911.ROADS, BRIDGES, AND TERRACESTo rule their large kingdom, Inca emperors built a network of stone roads that extended 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometers). Working in relays, runners used these roads to carry messages up to 250 miles (400 kilometers) in a single day. Government officials could travel the roads to every village in the empire.To span the deep river gorges in the mountains, the Inca built rope bridges. The bridges were amazingly durable. One rope bridge over a dangerous ravine was used for more than 500 years!The mountains posed a challenge for farming. The Inca built stone walls in steep valleys to create level fields, called terraces. These terraces extend up the sides of mountains like giant staircases. In some areas, the Inca built canals to bring water to the terraces.LIFE AS AN INCAInca society was strictly organized. The emperor and his royal family were at the top of Inca society. The Inca believed the emperor was descended from the Sun god, Inti.Below the emperor came the nobility. These Inca were related to the emperor. They held the most important positions in the government, the military, and in religious life. Peasants who farmed the land were at the bottom of Inca society.The Inca worshiped the creator god, Viracocha, the Sun god, Inti, and other lesser gods. The bodies of dead rulers were kept in shrines. Dead rulers had servants and were consulted on daily affairs—as if they were still alive.Priests were important in Inca life. In sacred rituals, priests often sacrificed llamas or guinea pigs to the gods. Sometimes they sacrificed children or women.ARTS AND CRAFTSInca craft workers used copper and bronze to make tools and ornaments. They used gold and silver for jewelry and for everyday objects such as nails, combs, and dishes for the nobility. Goldsmiths were so respected that they lived in a special neighborhood and paid no taxes.The finest Inca art has not survived. Spanish conquerors melted down these objects and shipped the gold back to Spain.The Inca had extensive knowledge of plants for food and medicine. They developed many of the plants we eat today. These include types of corn, potatoes, tomatoes, squash, beans, and peppers. To the Inca, pepper plants were sacred. In fact, peppers were so valuable they could be used as money.CONQUERED BY THE SPANISHInca civilization was most powerful in the late 1400s. In 1532, the Spanish explorer Francisco Pizarro and 180 Spanish soldiers landed on the coast of Peru.At first, the Inca believed Pizarro was their god, Viracocha. Pizarro and his men seized the Inca emperor. To save his own life, the emperor offered Pizarro enough gold to fill a room. But the Spaniards killed the emperor and took over the Inca Empire.The Spanish conquerors looted Inca treasures and made the Inca into slaves. Many Inca died from mistreatment and from European diseases. Other Inca fled.Today, about 8 million descendants of the Inca live in the lands of the former Inca Empire. Many still speak Quechuan, the ancient Inca language. They still follow many Inca beliefs and customs.。

10个最令人惊叹的古代印加遗址

10个最令人惊叹的古代印加遗址

10个最令人惊叹的古代印加遗址印加文明(Inca civilization)起源于13世纪早期的秘鲁高地(highlands of Peru)。

从1438年开始,他们开始征服印加中心地带(Inca heartland)库斯科(Cuzco)周围的土地,建立了前哥伦布时代美洲(pre-Columbian America)最大的帝国。

1532年西班牙征服者(Spanish conquistadors)的到来标志着短暂存在的印加帝国(Inca Empire)的结束。

由于征服者掠夺了他们所能掠夺的一切,他们文明的遗迹是有限的。

但游客们仍然可以从在南美洲高地(highlands of South America)发现的令人惊叹的古印加遗址(ancient Inca ruins)中领略印加文明的先进性。

1 马丘比丘(Machu Picchu)马丘比丘是世界上最美丽、最令人印象深刻的古印加遗址,在隐藏了几个世纪之后,它在乌鲁班巴山谷(Urubamba Valley)被夏威夷历史学家(Hawaiian historian)海勒姆(Hiram)于1911年重新发现。

“印加失落的城市(Lost City of the Incas)”从下面看不见,完全自给自足,被农业梯田包围,由天然泉水灌溉。

虽然它在当地为人所知,但在1911年被重新发现之前,外界对它几乎一无所知。

从那时起,马丘比丘就成为秘鲁(Peru)最重要的旅游景点。

2 奥扬泰坦博(Ollantaytambo)在印加帝国时期,奥扬泰坦博是帕查库蒂皇帝(Emperor Pachacuti)的皇家领地,他征服了这个地区,建立了城镇和一个仪式中心。

在西班牙征服秘鲁时,它是印加抵抗运动的据点。

如今,奥扬泰坦博印加遗址是一个重要的旅游景点,也是最常见的徒步旅行起点之一,被称为印加小径(Inca Trail)。

3 乔克基拉奥(Choquequirao)乔克基拉奥(意为“黄金的摇篮”)位于海拔3085米的库斯科(Cuzco)和阿普里马克(Apurimac)交界处。

介绍文明古城的作文英语Ancient cities are like portals to the past, offering glimpses into the rich tapestry of human history. Among these, civilization has flourished and evolved, leaving behind remnants that speak volumes about the ingenuity, culture, and lifestyle of bygone eras. In this essay, we'll delve into the essence of ancient cities, exploring their significance, charm, and enduring legacy.First and foremost, ancient cities serve asrepositories of cultural heritage. They encapsulate the traditions, beliefs, and practices of civilizations long gone. Walking through their narrow alleys, bustling marketplaces, and majestic ruins, one can't help but feel a profound connection to the past. Each cobblestone street, towering monument, and weathered facade whispers stories of triumphs, tragedies, and the relentless march of time.Take, for instance, the ancient city of Pompeii. Frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in79 AD, Pompeii offers a poignant glimpse into Roman life.Its remarkably preserved ruins, adorned with intricate frescoes, mosaic floors, and remnants of everyday life, transport visitors back to a bustling metropolis abruptly halted by nature's fury. Through its streets, theaters, and public baths, one can almost hear the echoes of ancient voices and envision the vibrancy of a lost civilization.Similarly, the majestic ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru stand as a testament to the architectural prowess of the Inca civilization. Perched high atop the Andes Mountains, this enigmatic city boasts intricately constructed terraces, temples, and dwellings that blend seamlessly with thenatural landscape. As visitors navigate its labyrinthine pathways and gaze upon its panoramic vistas, they can'thelp but marvel at the ingenuity and spiritual reverence of its builders.Moreover, ancient cities serve as crucibles ofinnovation and human achievement. From the toweringpyramids of Giza to the awe-inspiring temples of Angkor Wat, these architectural marvels bear witness to theextraordinary feats accomplished by ancient civilizations. Through meticulous craftsmanship, advanced engineering techniques, and a deep understanding of astronomy and mathematics, our ancestors erected monuments that still defy comprehension and inspire awe.Beyond their architectural splendor, ancient cities are also repositories of knowledge, arts, and philosophies. The libraries of Alexandria, the philosophical schools of Athens, and the vibrant bazaars of Baghdad were hubs of intellectual exchange and cultural diffusion. Here, scholars, merchants, and artisans from diverse backgrounds converged, exchanging ideas, goods, and innovations that shaped the course of human history.Furthermore, ancient cities often serve as focal points for tourism and economic development. Millions of tourists flock to iconic sites such as Rome, Cairo, and Kyoto each year, drawn by the allure of their storied past andcultural treasures. In doing so, they contribute to local economies, supporting businesses, infrastructure, and preservation efforts that ensure these treasures endure forfuture generations to enjoy.In conclusion, ancient cities are more than mere relics of the past; they are living testaments to the resilience, creativity, and collective ingenuity of humanity. Through their ruins, artifacts, and enduring legacies, they offer windows into worlds long gone, inviting us to explore, learn, and marvel at the wonders of our shared heritage. As guardians of our cultural legacy, it is incumbent upon us to cherish and preserve these treasures for generations yet unborn to discover and cherish.。

Argentzation and formation
Pachacuti reorganized the kingdom of Cusco into the Tahuantinsuyu, which consisted of a central government with the Inca at its head and four provincial governments with strong leaders. Pachacuti is also thought to have built Machu Picchu, either as a family home or as a summer retreat, although there is speculation that Machu Picchu was constructed as an agricultural station.
Smallpox(天花) was only the first epidemic Typhus(斑疹伤寒症) in 1546 Influenza(流感) and smallpox together in 1558 Smallpox again in 1589 Diphtheria(白喉) in 1614 Measles(麻疹) in 1618

Expansion and consolidation
Spanish conquest
Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro and his brothers explored south from what is today Panama, reaching Inca territory by 1526. It was clear that they had reached a wealthy land with prospects of great treasure, and after one more expedition in 1529, Pizarro traveled to Spain and received royal approval to conquer the region and be its viceroy.
Last Incas
In 1572 the last Inca stronghold was conquered, and the last ruler, Túpac Amaru, Manco's son, was captured and executed. After the fall of the Inca Empire many aspects of Inca culture were systematically destroyed.
