I've heard a few theories. One being they didn't need to invent war ships and gun powder due to their unique situation with their neighbors. Another was that when they came to south America thousands of years ago then they were separated from where civilization first started and we're essentially starting over technologically. Along side the starting over idea, their food was of poor quality like the the evolution of maize into the corn we have today.
