Ancient Peru Civilization: Exploring the Origin of the Inca Empire

In the far west of South America, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, lies a mysterious country called Peru, where the Andes Mountains run from the north to the south, forming a unique natural ecological environment that has nurtured generations of indigenous Indians and later immigrants, creating a splendid and fascinating ancient civilization.

Ancient civilization in Peru has a long history. Since the arrival of the Asian Mongoloids across the Bering Strait 13,000 years ago, it had been developing over a long period of time and eventually culminated in the establishment of the Inca Empire, which marks the pinnacle of the development of ancient Peruvian civilization and that of the Andean region as a whole. Although the Inca Empire, with Peru at its center, was lost to the Spanish colonial invaders in the 16th century, the influence it has left on the history of human civilization and the memory of the Indians about their their ancestors, will endure. To this day, in the majestic megalithic structures, exquisite textiles, colorful pottery, and exquisite gold and silver objects, we can still see the magnanimity and courage of the founders of Peruvian civilization, and feel the resilience and spirituality of their people, as well as their devotion to their gods and spirit.
