GPT 3.5
The social hierarchy of the Incas was structured as follows:
1. The Sapa Inca: The emperor, considered divine and the highest authority in the Inca Empire.
2. The royal family: The Sapa Inca's immediate family, including his wives and children.
3. The nobility: The aristocratic class, consisting of high-ranking officials, military commanders, and regional governors.
4. The commoners: The majority of the population, consisting of farmers, craftsmen, and laborers.
5. The peasants: The lowest class in Inca society, working on the land owned by the nobility and the state.
The social hierarchy was rigidly enforced, with limited mobility between classes, and each class had specific roles and responsibilities within Inca society. The Sapa Inca held ultimate power and authority over all aspects of Inca life, with the nobility serving as his advisors and administrators, while the commoners and peasants provided the labor and resources necessary to support the empire.
