Knowledge of the expansion of the Inca Empire in the Argentine territory has bibliographic records from the early chroniclers who described the territory. One need only refer to Jerome Bibar, written in 1558 and published in 1964 on the Reyno de Chile labor: Recap and copious List of Kingdoms of Chile. Paleographic transcription of prof. Irving A. Leonard, as the original manuscript, owned by The Newberry Library, Chicago, III .; U.S. Volume II. It is therefore inconceivable that recently one interviewee (Coordinator of the World Heritage Centre of UNESCO, in a note Clarín on Monday 8 October last year, Inca Trail in Argentina) and Nuria Sanz unknown in Cuyo the Inca conquest had its impact, saying he had not known that the Incas had gotten there, referring to beyond the southern Uspallata. There is no mention of this chronic paragraphs to a full and clear picture of the arrival of the Incas to the Diamond Rio. It reads: In this province to Caria there are one hundred twenty miles of dry, sandy soil. There are more Indians sow not, who live on husks. In the middle of this road is a valley, which the Spaniards called the Red River due to go very red: Pug wearing is brackish water. Here are many Indians and many cattle. Nothing in these hundred and twenty leagues but this river running, because all Indians are jagüeyes crafted, and it rains water collects there. It is densely populated and land is fertile, but the Indians are not big farmers. Susténtanse carob and chañares and make bread of it, and Canar do they drink wine. They have many guanacos and hares and partridges as I have said. It is irrigated land. They were conquered the Inca and even today are deposited at that time, and took away some of his habits. In this province the Cuyo there are thirty leagues. They are all populated and many people. These Indians also Cuyo were conquered by the Incas. These farmers are not those of Caria; planted much corn and kidney beans and quinoa; have many guanacos. They are at the foot of the snowy mountains. There are all fighters that I said, and his clothes are made of wool. There are also very good ditches. From here he went to a river that few people Diamond says. It will be thirty leagues, more or less, of this province where kneeling on the floor of marble stature of a man was found. Indians asked what this meant, said the Incas, when they came to conquer that province, arrived there and had taken to the river, put this sign here and turned. Moreover, it would long to mention an extensive list of researchers and scholars who have talked about the arrival of the Incas to these regions. We refer to: Aparicio, Canals Frau, Rusconi, Schöbinger Barcena and his disciples, and as a result of my own studies. Both the documentary and archaeological existence testify to the Incas to have no doubt at all of these objectives. Misinformation, product improvisation of certain authors, not only confirms the lack of data and systematic and accurate reading of previous investigations. Dr. Humberto A. Lagiglia
