  Inca Empire - The Builders of...

  The story of the Inca Empire begins with a mix of myth and history, deeply rooted in the Andean highlands of South America. According to Inca legend, the empire’s origins trace back to the Sun God, Inti, who sent his son, Manco Cápac, to establish a kingdom on Earth. Manco Cápac and his sister-wife Mama Ocllo emerged from the waters of Lake Titicaca, tasked with finding the place where the sun would set forever. Guided by this divine mission, they journeyed through the Andes, eventually founding the city of Cusco, which would become the heart of the Inca Empire. This mythic narrative blended with historical elements, shaping the early identity of the Incas as a people divinely chosen and destined for greatness. 
  The rise of the Inca Empire began in earnest during the 12th century, but it wasn’t until the 15th century that the Inca began their ambitious expansion under the leadership of Pachacuti. Before this period, the Inca were a small ethnic group living in the valley of Cusco, a modest settlement by the standards of the Andean world. The powerful Wari and Tiwanaku civilizations had already left their marks on the region, and other neighboring cultures, such as the Chanka and the Nazca, vied for dominance in the highlands. However, it was the strategic leadership and military genius of the early Inca rulers that laid the foundation for what would become the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. 
  Manco Cápac, the first Sapa Inca (the title for the emperor), established the social and political framework that would support future conquests. He was followed by a line of rulers who solidified Cusco’s position as the seat of power, but it wasn’t until Pachacuti’s reign that the Inca’s ambitions expanded beyond their small kingdom. Under Pachacuti’s rule, the Inca adopted a highly organized and disciplined military structure, which allowed them to conquer surrounding territories and absorb them into their growing empire.

  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Se7en is a psychological crime thriller directed by David Fincher. The film follows two detectives, the seasoned William Somerset and the impulsive David Mills, as they investigate a series of gruesome murders based on the seven deadly sins. The killer, known as John Doe, orchestrates his crimes as a twisted form of social commentary, leading the detectives into a dark and disturbing world. With its grim atmosphere, Se7en explores themes of morality, justice, and the human condition, using tension, suspense, and psychological horror to delve deep into the minds of both the detectives and the killer. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Leland Orser prepared for his intense interrogation scene by rapidly breathing in and out to saturate his body with oxygen, enabling him to hyperventilate. Additionally, he stayed awake for several days to achieve a disoriented look for his character.” 
    
  “Initially, New Line executives were opposed to the film's ending, but Brad Pitt insisted on keeping it as is, refusing to participate if any changes were made.” 
    
  “Director David Fincher told both Kevin Spacey and Brad Pitt that while the film might not be the movie they'd be remembered for, it would be one they'd take immense pride in.” 
    
  “During the filming of the chase scene where Mills follows John Doe in the rain, Brad Pitt fell and injured his arm by smashing it through a car windshield. The injury was later incorporated into the script.”
