Legacy of the Incan Civilisation

After the Spanish conquered the Incan empire, they saw little reason to preserve their magnificent culture, and were greedy for their wealth that was not in their culture. However, the survival of their official language, Quecha, and few residual traces concludes that their empire was not completely destroyed from history. Today, many of the traditions the Inca are still implemented by people who live in the Andes. Textile making is still popular, the traditional foods they ate are still consumed around the world and famous archaeological sites like Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines are popular tourist attractions. The Incan civilisation was such a powerful and strong empire that its legacy has continued for centuries.
