Answer the following question: Information: - The Sapa Inca (Hispanicized spelling) or Sapa Inka (Quechua for "the only Inca"), also known as Apu ("divinity"), Inka Qhapaq ("mighty Inca"), or simply Sapa ("the only one"), was the ruler of the Kingdom of Cusco and, later, the Emperor of the Inca Empire ("Tawantinsuyu") and the Neo-Inca State. While the origins of the position are mythical and tied to the legendary foundation of the city of Cusco, historically it seems to have come into being around 1100. The position was hereditary, with son succeeding father. - An emperor (through Old French "empereor" from ) is a monarch, usually the sovereign ruler of an empire or another type of imperial realm. Empress, the female equivalent, may indicate an emperor's wife ("empress consort"), mother ("empress dowager"), or a woman who rules in her own right ("empress regnant"). Emperors are generally recognized to be of a higher honour and rank than kings. In Europe the title of Emperor was, since the Middle Ages, considered equal or almost equal in dignity to that of Pope, due to the latter's position as visible head of the Church and spiritual leader of Western Europe. The Emperor of Japan is the only currently reigning monarch whose title is translated into English as "Emperor". - Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui or Pachacutec ( in hispanicized spellings ) or Pachakutiq Inka Yupanki ( Quechua ) was the ninth Sapa Inca ( 1438 -- 1471/1472 ) of the Kingdom of Cusco which he transformed into the Inca Empire ( Tawantinsuyu ) . Most archaeologists now believe that the famous Inca site of Machu Picchu was built as an estate for Pachacuti . In Quechua Pachakutiq means '' he who shakes the earth '' , and Yupanki means '' with honor '' . During his reign , Cusco grew from a hamlet into an empire that could compete with , and eventually overtake , the Chimu . He began an era of conquest that , within three generations , expanded the Inca dominion from the valley of Cusco to nearly the whole of western South America . What is the relationship between 'pachacuti' and 'emperor'?
