They once ruled over the largest empire in South America. Not only that - their empire was also the largest in the world at the time. However, it didn’t last long - within about a hundred years, the empire that stretched all the way from modern-day Quito, Ecuador in the north to modern Santiago, Chile in the south, lay in ruin.
