The Incas had a way to keep track by putting knots on pieces of string.
They were masters at building things in stones, like houses and other things were you could live in. They used a lot the rock because they lived close to the mountains and that material was the most available.
They also made buildings that were earthquake proof. They did this by carving the stones perfectly meaning that no cement (or paste between the stones) was needed. It fit together perfectly, and even now, you cannot slip a piece of paper through the walls. They were water proof too!
Another clever thing they discovered was making aqueducts. These dips in the ground transported water from long distances all the way back to their crops and irrigate the land.
The Incas were also known for their pottery work. They made the pots in a way similar to how we make nowadays, but the designs on the pottery were outstanding.
