Okay: which great empire was known in its native language as Tawantinsuyu?

by TwisT Fri 09 Dec 2011, 9:41 am

Sounds like one of those aztec gods, so I am going to say them

by Beer Fri 09 Dec 2011, 9:45 am

And if it's not the Aztec's i'm guessing Inca's.

by Mickado Fri 09 Dec 2011, 9:55 am

Sounds African to me.

Zulu?
