Welcome once again to A History of the Inca!
This time we are getting the lay of the land. Literally. First we, discuss the geography, dominated by the imposing Andes. Next, we tackle the climate and explain how El Nino and other natural events can cause havoc.
Resources such as food, water and materials are discussed briefly. Finally, we talk about how the native people were able to adapt to the harsh environment and how they formed unique family units called ayllus.

Ep. 1: An Introduction
Welcome to: A History of the Inca!
This is a brand new podcast covering the history of the Inca Empire. After, listening to other podcasts and seeing what was out there I noticed that coverage of this area of history had hardly been covered.
This episode will introduce the host, the format of the show and the schedule. I touch on what to expect for the first few episodes and what I plan on covering in later episodes. I am really looking forward to starting this adventure with you!

Ep. 3: The Moche
Welcome once again to A History of the Inca!
In this episode we will be looking at the first of four Andean societies that existed prior to the Inca, the Moche.
The Moche were a culture that inhabited the north coast of Peru until around 800 AD. There is much about this society that we don’t know, but we will be discussing their possible administration structure, ceremonies and the road to their demise. Though this area is related more to the later Chimu state than the Inca, this episode will cover several topics (huacas, sacrifice, coastal life and religious proliferation) that we will refer back to again and again.
