Question

Did you know? The Inca Empire (1438-1533) stretched 4,000 km along the Andes — from Colombia to Chile. It was connected by 40,000 km of roads, with "chasquis" (running couriers) delivering messages in relays at 240 km per day. Faster than mail in Europe at that time.

Het Inca-rijk (1438-1533) was 4.000 km lang langs de Andes — van Colombia tot Chili. Het werd verbonden door 40.000 km wegen, met "chasquis" (loop-koeriers) die in estafettes berichten 240 km per dag konden bezorgen. Sneller dan post in Europa van die tijd.
