the Inca daily life. What you will see includes; Inca Men, Women, and Children. Also you may find

The children who lived in the Inca time, had bizarre rituals, obscure temporary names,
differentiated skulls, and depending on your wealth, went to school.- Inca Children Lifestyles
However, children did have their skulls deformed, but not always. If you were born into
rich or royal family, you were guaranteed to have a mangled head. On the flip side, if you were
poor you could have your skull warped, but you probably wouldnt.

Women had very fundamental jobs that took place before and after marriage. Weaving
shops were always run by women. You would almost never see a male in a weaving shop. Even
though the shop were worked by women, the men usually over saw the clothing process. This
job may be one of the most important job because clothing was high demand. Sometimes
women would be isolated from others just so that they could make clothing. Women, like the
Aztecs, would pick up jobs like a healer or a midwife. What they did then would now be seen as
illegal street jobs. The women also were known to induce unwanted pregnancies these ladies
would be outcast from the others and not able to reside near other women. Women could be a
positive and negative influence on children and even other women. (Inca Women)
The Inca women had very special things to wear, they could be plain or
simple, adorned or not its look was a very unique one. The article they that wore was
a combined skirt and blouse. It reached all the way down to the ankles. It was bound
at the waist by a long wide, woven and maybe ornamental sash. At the top it reached
to the neck and the upper edges fastened together over the shoulders by long pins
passing under the arms and at the sides. (Women) The outfits probably had the same
idea for their clothing; however, the hair depended only on what group and social
class you were in. Even though their outfits and hair was simple, it was still an Inca
mystery uncovered yet again. (Inca Empire, daily life)
The ladies of the Inca civilizations were a mandatory slice in the Inca loaf of bread.
Without them the life the Incas lived would be possible.
QUIZ!!!
1: Women could un marry if they didnt like their spouse TRUE~ FALSE
Cuy, this was found in the Andes and was cooked up with roasted red pepper. It was added to
small river rocks to heat it up much faster. The Incas also domesticated at least 3 dog, none
were used for food though. Animals were extremely useful for the Incas, even if it was not used
for food, everything had a purpose.
Every food, and every animal was used to keep the Incas large population thriving. Even
though the food is mainly seeds, nuts and leaves the spiced it up to be an elaborate concoction.
The animals were great for food, and many other helpful tools.

Conclusion
In Conclusion, the Incas had a very unique lifestyle. Inca men, women,
and kids all had unique ways of life and ideas. They each showed a different point
of view to the diverse Incan life and how each went about doing so. Even in
animals, and the food they ate you can see the Inca and their lifestyle. The way
the Incas lived can give us a great deal of insight, what worked and what failed
them. The society was with strict rules and strict classes. The men were either a
commoner, or a Noble, the well-respected. The woman had many different roles
in the Empire. They would either have the job of a weaver, healer, and midwife.
Only the Noble Children would go to school, the Commoners would work with
their parents. As you can see, the Inca lifestyle is very different from what ours is
now. You may consider frivolous, but it was orderly back in the 1400's.
