Incan survival in the Andes The Incans stayed connected in their 3,000 miles of empire by sending messengers on foot to relay messages. They were able to build temples that withstood earthquakes by using huge stone blocks that fit perfectly together. They were about 200 tons each! The Incans were also very advanced in medicine. They performed successful brain surgery!
