The Inca Empire (Tawantinsuyu in Quechua) was a large empire in pre-Columbian America. The center of their domains was the city of Cusco, today located in Peru. It's use of conquest and assimilation ways to incorporate a large part of the South America between 1438 and 1533, when it was conquered by Francisco Pizarro and became part of the Spain.

The culture of the Inca people is filled with artworks in ceramics, metal works, and textiles. They believed that their king, Sapa Inca, was a descendent from Inti, the sun god, and required tributes to a number of different gods. They used the quipu, a bundled knotted string, to calculating and accounting. The surviving quipus show a lot of numeric data, and even their dimensions could have a mathematic significance.

In The Emperor's New Groove, The Emperor's New School and Kronk's New Groove, there are various Inca references that resemble more of the modern Latin American region of the past Inca domains. However, a good part of the Inca culture, such as religion and mythology, isn't mentioned at all; but it's still possible to occasionally note artworks and monuments that reference the old Inca traditions.
