terraces. They used some very big stones and smaller ones to, depending
on the construction. Sometimes they would cover the stones with mud or
clay to create a smoother surface. It is unlikely they used much mortar so
cutting the stones to create a very close fit was important, particularly for
the more significant constructions.

knotted strings known as quipu to send messages around
their empire.
Inca Art
The art of the Inca civilization of Peru (c. 1425-1532 CE) produced
some of the finest works ever crafted in the ancient Americas. Inca art is
best seen in highly polished metalwork, ceramics, and, above all, textiles,
with the last being considered the most prestigious by the Incas
themselves. Designs often use geometrical shapes, are standardized, and
technically accomplished. The European invaders destroyed much of Inca
art either for sheer monetary gain or religious reasons but enough
examples survive as testimony to the magnificent range and skills of Inca
artists.
