Inca Temples Impact On The CultureThe Inca temples caused a huge impact in the total culture of the Inca Empire. Without the temples, then the Inca would probably be remembered different than what we think of today. Yes, the Inca would still have many aspects from their lives the same without the temples but historians would not have as much to study, and the empire would have used time and effort on those in a different way. Also, the Inca religion would have been viewed differently. They even aided in the fall of the empire, for the temple of the sun god was one of the first things that caught the Spanish's eye and made them realize the resources that could be found in this new land.

WorkWithout the temples, then Inca culture would be vastly different with peoples occupations. Most people in the Empire worked for the government, and a lot of citizens work was used in building, maintaining, and even working at these temples. If the Inca had never built temples then maybe they would turn their focus more into arts or agriculture, or even something completely different.

ResourcesFrom the stone that was used in building these, to the gold and other riches that decorated many temples used many resources that could've been put to different uses.They effect the culture because of how much of Inca items were put into these buildings and also a show of how important their gods were to them.

ReligionThe temples were just one show on how devout the Inca were to their gods, but it was a very large part. Inca culture was very much reflected in their religion- it shaped much of what they did after all. The temples were religious buildings and very large parts to the peoples faith. Here things were sacrificed or given to the gods, and also where the priest did most of their work. Ceremonies were held in the temples and many things related to the gods happened at them.

ArtInca did not have much art, but what they did have was stone work and architecture. The temples built were some of the best work that the people made. They used their bet skills and resources here to produce some of the best buildings in all the Inca empire. The temples reflected much of the art and were a direct relation to the culture. It was also a show on their science and math, which further leads to the Inca achievements that these buildings showed.
