The Incas' tribe is world-known. The achievements they made were so useful and advanced that it's hardly possible to imagine the contemporary mankind without the help they provided. The Incas were skilled in many different areas. But indisputably they were unsurpassed in everything connected with arts and crafts. The Incas were outstanding architects, engineers and craftworkers, besides they were highly regarded by the society. Because of their importance, they were provided with food and shelter and didn't have to work for getting them. Such beautiful things as highly decorated swords were created by them. Even drinking cups they made were becoming at once the pieces of art. The Incas' craftsmen could add copper, tin, silver and even gold to almost anything they wanted. Besides that the Incas were incredible potters. They were painting the pots with the mixture of wet clay and dye. Usually they were depicting different geometric ornaments on them.

The Incas' talents and skills didn't end up with pots and cups. The other proof of their geniality is a wide road network they built. The roads they constructed let the Incas' troops move around much easier. And as well it was easier for the ruler, the Sapa Inca, to control a huge territory of the Incas' empire. 15,000 miles of roads connected the tribes and the communication between them was made easier too. It was not that simple to maintain roads at that time, but it didn't prevent the Incas of making the ways along the coast or running through the highlands. Some of the roads were even constructed with stones and were smoothy. The main Incas' road in the highlands was called by the Spanish conquistadors the best one in the world. It was really amazing. To connect their lands many bridges were built by the Incas. Sometimes it was a real challenge to cross the bridge, as many of them were just made of ropes, indeed it was scary. The Incas' ingenious ideas helped them conquer other tribes and extend one of the greatest empires.
