[1] The Inca Empire was known for its terracing of mountain slopes. One reason for terracing was increased farmland. The other was steepened slopes, against invaders. [2] A beautifully perfect example of terracing may be seen in Peru, at Machu Picchu, which means Old Peak. [We know the language of the Inca Empire as Quechua. But native speakers called it Runa Shimi, or Language of the people. The word Quechua actually is an insult. But the Empire's enemies considered the Inca thieves. And so that was the term that was passed on to the Spaniards, and to posterity.]
