This is one of the best books in the Multi award winning Horrible Histories series. Beautifully complimented with artwork from Martin Brown. Terry Deary is a gifted writer, and I hope he will write Horrible Histories to his last breath. An excellent book. 10/10

'The Incredible Incas gives you the gory details about the Incan Empire, which ruled 12 million people but was smashed by 260 Spanish invaders.....and a few germs.
Want to know:
* why llamas wore earrings and drank beer?
* how a bucket of stewed pee can make you beautiful?
* why servants ate the emperor's hair?
Read on for some gob-smacking facts on glittering golden temples and chilling child sacrifices.
Predict your future with inflated llama lungs, find out how to please a 200-year old mummy, and meet the ugliest emperor ever.
History has never been so horrible!'
A witty, colourful cover opens to 127 pages, split over chapters:
1. Timeline
2. Legendary lords
3. Evil emperors
4. Top of the class
5. Live like an Inca
6. The cruel conquest
7. Terrific temples
8. Groovy gods
9. Inca mystery quiz
with an introduction and an epilogue.
Written with the typical Deary humour and illustrations from Philip Reeve throughout.

This is a fascinating book like the others but this is about Incas. Find out why llamas wore earings and drank beer, why servants ate the emporers hair and the poor children who were sacrificed along with guinea pigs to please the Gods. A great read......

Wow, that was a great book!
The Incredible Incas was great! If of course you avoid the bad parts, like the disgusting bits that I will not say right now because it would make you feel ill. Like CENSORED. Read more
