The Inca Empire rose in the 15th century, yet its origins remained shrouded in mystery for centuries. Follow Manco Capac, the first Inca and Pachacutec, the mythical emperor who reshaped a civilization. Pachacutec built Machu Picchu, revolutionized architecture, and drew on the legacy of an older society to rewrite his people's history. Claiming the title "Son of the Sun," he expanded the empire beyond the Cuzco Valley, imposed a solar cult as the state religion, and even instituted human sacrifices to assert his power. With cutting-edge science and ultra-realistic 3D reconstructions from Machu Picchu to Chilean volcanoes, Lake Titicaca, and Cuzco, witness the breathtaking birth of the Empire of the Sun. The rise and fall of the Inca is a story of a civilization marked by gold, power and ingenuity.
