Covey offers an alternative explanation of the origins and development of the Inca state, dispelling the mystery of the Incas' apparent rapid rise with evidence for a centuries-long gradual development. He draws upon archaeological research into the period between 1000 and 1400 CE to highlight long-term regional changes, rather than heroic actions of individual Inca kings.
