How did incas build rope bridges?
The Inca people built rope bridges by weaving fibers made from grasses or plant materials together to create strong cables. These cables were then secured to anchor points on opposite sides of the canyon or gap they were crossing. Wooden slats were added to create a walkway, and the bridge was reinforced with additional cables for stability.

The Inca constructed suspension bridges using natural fibers such as grasses or straw, weaving them together to form strong cables. They anchored these cables on stone columns positioned at each end of the bridge and used wood or woven mats as walkways. The Inca's advanced engineering techniques allowed them to create durable and flexible bridges that could withstand the weight of people and goods traversing rugged terrains.
