Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui
?–1471 CE · Cusco
Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui (died 1471), whose name is often rendered 'he who remakes the world,' was the ninth Sapa Inca and is regarded as the founder of the Inca imperial state. Traditionally reigning from about 1438, he rose to power after leading the defense of Cusco against a Chanka invasion. He transformed the regional kingdom of Cusco into Tawantinsuyu, the 'Land of the Four Quarters,' building a system of roads, storehouses, and administration; the royal estate at Machu Picchu is attributed to him. He is the first Sapa Inca whom historians treat as securely historical.
