Answer:
Society:
Sapa Inca - descendant of sun god
Royalty - 1st gen. blood relatives of Inca
Nobility - drawn from 10 royal ayllus; distinguished by dress and custom
Yanas - removed from ayllus; directly serve nobility
Curaca - conquered rulers given privileges in return for their loyalty
Ayllus - kin-related households that control self-sufficient communities that perform mita (labor for state/church)
Genders were supposedly equal (parallel descent), but emphasis on military made men more powerful
Political:
Split inheritance: political power goes to successor, but inca's male descendants get wealth and land to support cult of inca's mummy
Each leader has to conquer new land to secure his cult
State divides conquered land into regions for people, state, religion
Religious:
Similar to Aztecs - religion dominates life, sun god
Immortalize leaders (mummify) and oracles
Intellectual:
Mostly Religion
Technological:
Terracing and irrigation
Complex infrastructure - tambos (inns) as relay points for messengers
Quipu (knotted strings) for numbers
Economical:
No currency
Commoners work mita
Socialism - land owns all land; divide up and give to ayllus to farm; ayllu keeps 1/3, rest sent to temples and inca
