The Inca practice of Split Inheritance was when a ruler's successor obtained all political power and rights, where the ruler's male descendants received all the monetary treasures. For this reason, supreme effort was made to secure as much land as possible, to ensure not only wealth for one's family and cult, but also a place for eternity. Tributes, demand for labor, and extravagant conquests made this a system which thoroughly muzzled Inca history to a simplification of conquests, and more conquests.
