Incas in Andes

Inca Civilization from the early 13th Century AD dominated the Andes range. The Pre-Columbian Inca culture, one of the finest civilizations in human history produced large number of iconic art and craft works.  Inca symbols are predominantly created for war, religion (mythology) and astrology.  Inca symbols shapes are snakes, condors, corn, cougars, the lighting, the coca plant, the sun and may others.  The most complex symbol of Inca tribe is the Chakana symbol which is symbolized the fundamental of universe.

Most of their visual works representing animals Jaguar, Serpent, Sun, Star, etc.)
