In the late fourteenth century, the Inka were a small community in the area of Cuzco (KOOS-koh), a city located at an altitude of 10,000 feet in the mountains of southern Peru. In the 1440s, however, under the leadership of their powerful ruler Pachakuti (pah-chah-KOO-tee) (sometimes called Pachacutec, or “he who transforms the world”), the Inka launched a campaign of conquest that eventually brought the entire region under their authority. Under Pachakuti and his immediate successors, Topa Inka (TOH-puh INK-uh) and Huayna Inka (WY-nuh INK-uh) (the word Inka means “ruler”), the boundaries of the empire were extended as far as Ecuador, central Chile, and the edge of the Amazon basin.
