Ancient Civilizations Research - Mrs. Jessie's Version

A work in progress.. just like yours should be! Remember - you will need a lot of information to ensure you are able to fully explain yourself. It is better to be over-informed than to have to keep researching after your research due date!

How did they come into power? There was another leader in power, but when faced with a war from neighboring civilizations, Pachacuti stuck around and asked the gods for assistance to help him, and his warrior buddies, so the gods transformed the rocks just hanging around into Inca warriors.

How long did their power last? Until 1532 and the Spanish Conquest.

ECONOMICS:

What did the people use to buy and sell goods?

Endangered Animals - Species at Risk

There are so many animals that are at risk of being extinct - which means they will no longer be living on Earth! These are what we call "endangered animals" because they are close to no longer being able to survive.
Here is a list of animals for your "Species at Risk" science page that you can research:
