HOW THE INCAS EDUCATED ITS SUBJECTS?

The basis of the Inca education was the fundamental idea that the destiny of a man was completely determined by the nature of the action of their hearts.
The so complex and all-embracing doctrine required long and laborious study. The Incas including in their teachings not only religious laws, but also knowledge which ranged from Astronomy and Meteorology through the study of the animal kingdom, sea habitats, insect world, and botany to geology and hydraulics.
They were experts in finding subterranean water and wells, and installed irrigation and drainage systems in their fields. Also they were specialists in the construction of subterranean corridors and tunneling mountains.
They have a strong believe that whatever man set himself to do on earth must be in consonance with the laws that governed the cosmos.
Heaven and Earth were imagined as being quartered by a great cross consisting of a North-South axis and an East-West line. All ritual and religious observance was based on this division of celestial and terrestrial space. The orientation and division of space were of crucial importance. The priests were able to decipher and understand the signs emanating from the entities in charge of the law that governed the cosmos. Every sacral and non sacral undertaken on earth had to be coordinated with this law. They believed that the powers bounded by it were irrevocably and for all eternity.
The East was symbolically considered of good will, because they believed that the higher deities, those in favor to man, had chosen to dwell.
The North East region was the most favorable and promising for good fortune.
The South was the region in which the gods of the earth and nature dwelt and ruled.
The West was considered the region in which the terrible and merciless gods of the underworld and Fate dwelt. The quarter between North and West was the most dreaded.
From these understanding came the belief that the boundaries of everything were marked by spiritual boundary stones. If anyone tried  to move them for the sake of their own pleasure was considered a crime and it was condemned by the guardians of the law. The people responsible was afflicted by the worst diseases and wounds. Their land would be shaken by storms or whirlwinds and landslips. Their crops laid low and cut down by rain and hail. The heat would afflict them in the summer. Also civil strife would appear among them.
Knowing that these things would happen when such crimes were committed, the people understood that either a deceitful or treacherous heart attracted their own destruction.
