AN UPLAND VALLEY EXPLORED BY THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY-YALE 

 UNIVERSITY EXPEDITION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 1915 

 We are able to get a glimpse of life among the ancient Incas through the part of their vocabulary that 

 has come down to us. They had different expressions to denote all the degrees of drunkenness, which 

 shows that they had no prohibition; the absence of words for buying and selling shows that money was 

 unknown; the fact that they had a single word to denote "ejiemy" and "soldiers" would indicate that 

 they must have been "peace-at-any-price M people.
