About
A lecture on how the Inca built an empire within two centuries without wheels, iron or a written language, illustrated by examples of their work in gold and other precious materials.
Eileen Goulding examines the rise of the Inca Empire and its use of gold and other precious materials for adornment. The talk considers what its rapid expansion reveals about human ambition.
