2) I chose the Inca’s as my ancient civilization! The first detail I found was that the Inca Empire became the largest Empire in pre-Columbia America. My second detail is that the Inca Empire is also known as the Tawantinsuyu!! Did you know that the Inca Empire was split by a ritual war to decide who would be Inca Hanan and who would be Inca Hurin.

Life is different now in Argentina because the Inca’s are not in control anymore and a new set of government is controlling Argentina

My trip so far has been amazing!!! One night I went out for dinner and as im walking to the restaurant there are kids from ages 3-19 playing soccer on the cobblestone roads. Then you walking into this square that has Argentina tango dancing and I have no clue how they move there bodies to the music but it is a beautiful dance. I get to the restaurant and sit down and order some food. When it comes it is of course beef! There beef is delicious!!
