The chief advantage the Maya and Aztec civilizations had over the Inca in managing information was that they had writing systems.
The Maya developed a complex system of hieroglyphics that allowed them to record elaborate historical and cultural narratives, as well as calendrical information and astronomic observations. The Maya script is one of the most advanced writing systems developed in pre-Columbian Americas.
The Aztec civilization also used a form of writing which was a combination of ideograms and pictograms, not as advanced as the Maya script but still a functional writing system for maintaining records and communicating complex information.
On the other hand, the Inca civilization did not develop a traditional form of writing. Instead, they used a system of knotted strings called quipu (or khipu) for record-keeping and transferring information. Quipu could encode numbers and other data, but its ability to record narrative information as compared to the writing systems of the Maya and Aztecs was limited. Therefore, the Maya and Aztecs had a significant advantage in terms of managing and preserving detailed information through a writing system.
