The chief advantage that the Maya and Aztec had over the Inca in managing information is that they had writing. Writing allowed them to record and convey information in a more systematic and organized manner. This enabled them to keep records of important events, historical accounts, laws, and administrative matters. Writing also facilitated communication and the transmission of knowledge across generations. The lack of a writing system in the Inca civilization limited their ability to store and disseminate information and relied more heavily on oral tradition and memory.
