Inca Imperial Administration

• Superimposed on existing political and established elite groups.
• Chief of the Allyus carried out the administrative and judicial functions.
• As Inca expanded they left local rulers in place. Rulers sent heirs to live in the capitol (Cuzco).
• Cuzco was a remarkable place, established in 1530. There were continuous series of rituals, feasts, and sacrifices (of textiles, animals, other gods…etc).
• They saw their ruler as the descent from the sun.
