Inca Social Pyramid Diagram

This diagram beautifully lays out the intricate social and political hierarchy of the Inca Empire in a pyramid structure. You can see the Sapa Inca, the supreme ruler, at the very top, followed by the Auqui (prince). The layers below detail important roles like the Council of the Aposuyos, provincial governors, and local leaders (Curacas and Sinchis), down to the administrators and the general populace, known as the Purej, forming the broad base of society.
