Moray Archeological Site: These concentric rings, each raised by a height of four feet, reach a depth of 100 feet. The rings and partial rings create twenty-five distinct climatic conditions. This arrangement allowed the Inca, using scientific methods, to develop seed crops best suited to many different climatic conditions across the nation. (1)(2)

Back to the Future: How the Inca Nation Lead the Way
There are many things to be learned by visiting civilizations past and it’s doubly so with the Inca Nation. Although we only had seven days in Peru, it did not take long to realize just how influential the Inca people were, both in history and in the Peru of today.
In history, the Inca left behind cultural, religious and scientific legacies that continue to astound scientists, historians, and visitors to this very day. In the present day, and since the near-destruction of the nation in the 16th Century, ancestors of the Inca continue to rebuild the historical sights, traditions and religious practices which served their ancestors so well. It is a history about which our world can learn much.
