	The Inca Empire was the largest empire in the Pre-Columbian era. The Pre-Columbian era refers to the period of time before the presence of Europeans in South America. The Incan Empire arose from the highlands of Peru in the early 13th century. Starting in 1438 the Incans used a variety of methods to include large sections of South America in their Empire. These areas included the Andean Mountain Range, the larger bits of Ecuador and Peru, and certain places in Western and South Bolivia and Northwest Argentina.

	Many cultures will practice sacrifices to their Gods. The Incans found a sacrifice to be an awesome honor, and would sacrifice Spanish war prisoners. The Spanish were disgusted by this practice. The sacrifice would usually be given up to Inti, who is the Sun God. The sacrifices weren’t always humans, thankfully. They included plants, animals, and material treasures. The Inca culture does not believe in sacrificing adults. Every year, a child would be sacrificed for a good Harvest. A child sacrifice is called Capacocha. The child attends a celebration before being killed. The Incans do not believe that this practice is disgusting, even though it repulses others. Sacrificing anyone, especially a child, is an awful thing to do. The Incans believe that giving up a child to the gods will promote good harvest, plenty of rain, and because the parents think that sacrificing their child will give them strong ties to the Emperor. No matter what the motive, I still think killing a child, or anyone, for the matter, is disgusting.

	The Inca culture has many good points to it. I just happened to choose to write about one of the bad points. Everyone will have their rituals and traditions. There are some cultures that have stranger traditions than that. For example, in China, when a woman is pregnant, friends, family, and neighbors send her red eggs. When the eggs are counted, if there is an odd number, it means the baby will be a boy, and an even number signifies a girl. My point is, you can’t base anything on a small detail that may or may not be insignificant. The Incan culture seems fascinating, despite this disgusting practice.
