Okay, lets work on this together. First of all, check out this page. I will hint to you to notice the TITLE. http://www.ushistory.org/civ/11c.asp

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

So, how can you use the information on this page to answer your question? What part of your question can you now answer with certainty?

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

C'mon, work with me here.

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

OpenStudy (briannabug):

You should go over the link that Snuggie posted there is more than one page

OpenStudy (briannabug):

No there is nothing wrong why you ask?

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

@ilovemath14 Go to that link and read the title.

OpenStudy (scienceteen8):

OpenStudy (scienceteen8):

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

Oh, I read that with the wrong inflection. Punctuation is important people! ;)

OpenStudy (scienceteen8):

lol

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

And how does the title, "The Inca Empire: Children of the Sun" directly relevant to your question?

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

#15 @SnuggieLad

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

GOOD! So the answer to #15 is?

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

inca

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

Perfect! Now, Who do we know made a calendar that predicted natural events? This calendar famously ran out recently, people believed after it did the world would end.

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

Aztec?

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

Not quite. "So for the Maya there was a time for everything and every thing had it's place in time. The priest used this to their advantage; due to their abilities to interpret the heavens and calendar, they could control the daily activities of the populace. Knowing when to plant, when to harvest, the rainy and dry seasons, etc. gave them total power and control. Their comprehension of time, seasons, and cycles was immense." http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/tzolkinmaya/esp_tzolkinmaya08.htm

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

So its Maya @SnuggieLad

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

Well, from that information what do you think? I'm not doing this assignment. I'm simply here to help you understand. That's my goal, to help you to the best of my abilities in advancing your knowledge in this field.

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

Okay, I see where you edited the question.

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

Now, for the most part I already knew these answers. With one exception, the first one. Give me a little time to study because as much as I've studied history I've actually never heard this fact.

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

Are my answers right?

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

Did you read the stuff I provided you?

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

yes

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

If you read the stuff I posted and came to that answer then you would be. "The Inca also developed medicine to treat malaria and relieve pain and they could also perform basic brain surgery." While this is not "technically" a valid source my research leads me to believe with a reasonable level of certainty that Inca is the answer to #10.

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

I hope I was able to help! Don't forget to fan and hit "best response" beside my name!

OpenStudy (ilovemath14):

10. could perform operations on the brain - Inca 14. could predict eclipses and good times for harvest - Maya 15. had a name that meant "children of the sun - Inca
