Description: Presents a historical, geographical, and cultural view of Incan civilization from its legendary origin near Lake Titicaca to the present time. Shows a recreation of the Incan sun-god worship, bartering for staples and crafts in the market at Cuzco. Shows descendants of the Incas with the Llamas which serve as beasts of burden and a source of wool for the colorful Incan hand-woven clothing, and the antiquated methods of farming which are still the basis of the economy. Points out that archeological ruins in Machu Picchu and present-day Indian crafts and style of dress are all clues to the history of the Incas.
