Education and Writing Systems
One of the most amazing facts about the Incas is that they never invented a writing system. This seems amazing, especially in light of their medical knowledge. Their sole method of passing their wisdom and information to the next generation was through the spoken word. However, they did invent a way to keep their records through quipu, a series of long and knotted strings. The Incas had also developed an interesting educational system, where the individual’s status played a major role in the kind of the education that they would receive.
