This evidence further demonstrates that the Aztecs relied on religious and spiritual approaches however, it was insufficient in effectively combating the illness as there were no religious practices addressing the diseases and health issues directly. This perspective is supported by Austin Community College District and states “The Aztecs practiced surgeries, used herbs….to cure the sick (Ortiz, n.d). Ortiz’s secondary source can be considered reliable as it was created by an Australian education website and provides and unbiased account of the events. This demonstrates that the Aztecs had some understanding of disease treatment, but it was insufficient owing to the changing quality of plants used in medicines, which was impacted by factors such as season and geographical location. The Aztec’s may have used herbal remedies as it carried a symbolic and spiritual meaning to themselves.
The Inca Empire started as a really small tribe that lived in Cuzco in the Andes Mountain in South America. Another tribe tried to conquer them and rule them but instead the Incas won and ruled the other tribe. That’s how the Inca Empire started. The Incas conquered a lot of small tribes and was getting more population each time and more territory.
The Inca Empire The Inca empire was established during the 12th century A.D. in the Andes region and is known for having built a massive domain across countries. Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina made up what was known as the Tawantinsuyu. According to Cartwright (2014), “well-devised agricultural and roadway systems, along with a centralized religion and language, helped maintain a cohesive state”. Cartwright (2014) also noted that despite their power, the Inca faced adversity and were in several predicaments when colonized by Spain. Besides several diseases, they also must cope with a disparity in weapons which eventually lead to the empire being overtaken in 1572.
More than 500 years ago, the Inca Empire was founded. In their time, they would someday become the largest empire in the world in the 16th century. The Incas would live in what is now Peru and the Andes Mountain. They would be a thriving people. It would be the home of about 10 million people.
The achievements of the Incas were founded on the cultures of earlier Peruvian peoples that previously resided in the highlands of the Andes and on the Peruvian coast. These predecessors include the Chavin and the Moche civilizations. The latter in particular thrived between 100 and 800 C.E. along the northern coast of Peru. The Moche were able to use the rivers flowing out of the Andes to their advantage and create advanced irrigation systems to develop their agriculture. Each of their valleys housed a grand ceremonial center complete with pyramids and palaces surrounded by various communities of up to ten thousand.
The Incas were a tribe of native americans who lived in the Andes Mountains. To get around, they made 19,000 miles of road and multiple suspension bridges. They lived in the Central South American culture area. They were religious people celebrating days like Capac Raymi, the celebration of young nobles turning from a child to a full grown man. Their three most important gods were: Viracocha the Creator, Inti was the Sun God, and Inti-illapa was the God of Thunder.
Medicine influenced the ancient Mayan society by forcing the ancient Mayans to believe in the limited treatments that were available to them. Much of Mayan medicine was reliant on spiritual chants because of their lack of in-depth research, however they did use plant extracts to cure certain ailments; relying on the color of the plant to determine what it could cure. Today, we know that the color of the plant means very little about its healing properties which shows us how the Mayans had to trust their remedies because they had no other options.
During that time period, they had quite a few types of medicines such as, syrups, cloves, camphor, and herbal medicines.” Although, according to the Geographic Kids Book, “ In the Muslim world a thousand years ago physicians back then were very skilled at treating different diseases and Al- Zahrawi wrote the first illustrated book on medicine and surgery.” In spite of the fact, some
In 1438 AD the Inca Empire started to flourish throughout South America. Over the next 50 years it spread to places that we now know as Peru, Bolivia, northern Argentina, Chile, and Ecuador. Earlier, contemporary Andean traditions, in particular the Wari civilisation and ancient Tiwanaku civilisation, influenced the Inca religion immensely. But the Inca empire was very short lived as it only lasted from 1438 to 1532 AD, just short of 100 years.
