Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui, also called Pachacútec (Quechua: Pachakutiy Inka Yupanki), was the ninth Sapa Inca of the Chiefdom of Cusco, which he transformed into the Inca Empire (Quechua: Tawantinsuyu). Most archaeologists now believe that the famous Inca site of Machu Picchu was built as an estate for Pachacuti. [2]
Capac Yupanqui was sent by Pachacuti to the central Peruvian coast in order to conquer the Chincha. [3] [4] [5] Years later the Sapa Inka sent his brother to various campaigns to the north of Cusco. [6] During these campaigns he conquered the Cajamarca region, ruled by the chiefdom of Guzmango, accidentally starting a war with Chimor. [7] [8] [1]
Lloque Yupanqui was an astute man, who knew how to maintain good relations with Cusco's neighbour chiefdoms and ayllus in order to secure his territory and avoid unnecessary conflict. He even managed to befriend some of the Ayarmaca ayllus, Tampucunca and Quilliscachis , which caused conflicts inside the macro-ethnic group.
Statue of the Sapa Inca Pachacuti wearing the Mascapaicha (imperial crown), in the main square of Aguas Calientes, Peru. The Sapa Inca (from Quechua sapa inka; lit. ' the only emperor ') was the monarch of the Inca Empire (Tawantinsuyu "the region of the four [provinces]"), as well as ruler of the earlier Kingdom of Cuzco and the later Neo-Inca State.
Following the battle, Pachacuti traveled to the Colla capital, Hatuncolla. [8] There he organized the Inca administration, and ordered the construction of forts. Following the Inca invasion, the neighboring Lupaca chiefdom also submitted. During the campaign, Pachacuti visited the ruins of Tiahuanaco. [9]
Topa Inca Yupanqui or Túpac Inca Yupanqui (Quechua: Tupa Inka Yupanki ~ Thupaq Inka Yupanki), [1] also Topa Inga Yupangui, erroneously translated as "noble Inca accountant" (before 1471 – 1493) was the tenth Sapa Inca (1471–93) of the Inca Empire, fifth of the Hanan dynasty. His father was Pachacuti, and his son was Huayna Capac.
The Pachacuti ruler is credited with making Cusco a spiritual and political center. Pachacuti came to power in 1438, and he and his son Túpac Yupanqui dedicated five decades to the organization and conciliation of the different tribal groups under his domain, including the Lupacas and the Collas.
