Engineering the Empire: Roads and Bridges
Engineering the Empire: Roads and Bridges is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 3: The Incas in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).
Key Concepts
To rule an empire that stretched 2,500 miles along the coast, the Incas built the most advanced transportation network in the Americas: the Inca Road System (Qhapaq Ñan). It consisted of 14,000 miles of paved roads crossing deserts and mountains.
The most impressive engineering feats were the Suspension Bridges made of woven grass ropes that spanned deep mountain gorges. These roads were strictly for government use. A relay system of runners called Chasquis could carry messages from one end of the empire to the other in days, ensuring the emperor in Cuzco stayed informed of rebellions or natural disasters.
