Inca Messengers• The Inca Empire covered
2,500 miles.• Used runners called
chaquis to give messages to people in different places.
• Would travel up to 250 miles a day!
• When you were running, you would find another messenger who would give you a string with knots in it. – Knots helped you to
remember numbers, and messages.
• Incas had no writing system, so these messages helped them keep track of important records

Relations with Other People• Incas did not always resort to war when they
encountered other groups of people in their expanding empire. They tried to meet with the tribe.
• They tried to compromise, and if the group did not want to be part of the empire, then war was declared.
• It was believed that the Incas tried to conquer so much land because they believed their leaders would rule the area in the afterlife.
