THE INCAN

Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui or Pachacutec (in hispanicized spellings) or Pachakutiq

Inka Yupanki (Quechua) was the ninth Sapa Inca (14381471/1472) of the Kingdom
of Cusco which he transformed into the Inca Empire (Tawantinsuyu). Most
archaeologists now believe that the famous Inca site of Machu Picchu was built as
an estate for Pachacuti. the Incan Emperor Pachacuti is reported to have taken his
conquered enemies and had them turned into bone flutes and skin-drums to make
a really creepy victory celebration.
Emperor Pachacuti or Pachacutec, depending on who you ask, ruled during the 25th
century and is famous for having expanded the Incan empire greatly during his reign.
It makes sense though, that people made way for him. Better to have a new emperor
than end up as the musical dead. On the other hand, he is also famous for initiating
the development of the city of Cuzco, from our favorite Disney classic.
