Best rule for meeting conquistadors is to scuttle their ships, burn their villages, and chase the survivors as far inland as possible. Seriously that's pretty much how Japan eventually started dealing with foreigners that wanted a slice of their land, and the only reason they re-entered the modern stage was cuz they took one look at China and Korea, then at that Perry douche and his big ass boats, and said "Man we gotta change QUICK!"

@@About37Hobos The Eagle and the Condor is an ancient prophecy that speaks of human societies splitting into two paths-that of the Eagle, and that of the Condor. The Eagle and Condor prophecy says that the 1490s would begin a 500-year period during during which the Eagle people would become so powerful that they would nearly drive the Condor people out of existence. The prophecy says that during the next 500-year period, beginning in 1990, the potential would arise for the Eagle and the Condor to come together, to fly in the same sky, and to create a new level of consciousness for humanity. The prophecy only speaks of the potential, so it's up to humanity to activate this potential and ensure that a new consciousness is allowed to arise.

@Blake Hunt some sources and anthropologists do believe that they are a late addition to NA's indigenous people, sone estimating they've only been on the continent for around 1000+ years. Unfortunately, although they probably warred with and intermingled with the original inhabitants of the Yukon and such, none of it is recorded. Extra Mythology could definitely do a cool few episodes on them though. They have some robust folktales to explore.

[@PuddingXXL]

@Blake Hunt They did but it is hard to prove since they didn't use writings or much symbolism. They heavily rely on folk tales and mouth-to-mouth story telling which makes actual historian facts almost impossible. The inuit would be a great substitute for their mythology series though as they have some pretty bad ass mofo spirits and hero's in their tales.

Hi, an archeology student from chile here, loved this series and wanted to point a few things. 1- the inca throwing the bible is not a gesture of a silly native not understanding the meaning of "gods word", instead, incas had a system of prestige based on relics called "huacas" and the ruler was suposed to posses the most powerfull relics. So when atahualpa heard about a new "huaca" being carried by this foreigneirs he decided to make a public show of how worthless their relics were by tossing it to the ground. Baaaad move. 2- the conquistadores where not average joes, they where 24/7 profetional veteran soldiers who fought on numerous european battles before coming to america, they understood pike formations, fencing, ambush settings, marksmanship and chivalry tactics 3- dogs (mastin napolitano) and crossbows are often overlooked and were very important weapons used by europeans 4- the spanish didnt fight alone, they rallied tribes that were hostile to the inkas to suport them in logistics and in battle, just as they did with the aztecs. 5- do not trust paintings of most conquistadores as accurate depictions they where painted waaay later and look a bit too well groomed 6- some versions say atahualpa was killed by a dart that came out of a riotting mob who considered him weak or a traitor, though i dont know this version's accuracy. Amazing job on the rest, keep conquistador tales coming. Mexico's conquest and Chile's conquest is very interesting.

Plus, the number of "Incan folk heroes" would pale when compared to the number of Incan nobles that would hispanize, adopt christian names, would accept spanish nobilliary titles, would travel to Europe to receive education in Spain and return as members of the Peruvian Elite. The same Elite that would later side with the Spanairds againsts the "Sapa inca" Jose gabriel Condorqanqui You could say that the flesh and trappings of the Inca survived, but the spirit?

Christianity is whatever you _want_ it to be. For the conquistadors, just as for the prosperity gospel preachers today, it's all about the gold. That's the -neat- terrible thing about faith-based thinking. You're not tied down to reality. Your beliefs can be anything you want.

Hey... so there's this book by H Rider Haggard called "The Virgin of the Sun", which is basically a What If story of a Norman-era Englishman winding up in the Incan Empire circa 1100 or so. It's a pretty awesome book, and despite being written by a late 19th century white male author (there's a stereotype, is what I'm saying) the story is quite sympathetic towards the Inca and their culture, and seems to take great pains to be accurate in most regards. And that's your unsolicited literature promotion for the week!

In fact... Atahualpa stay there long time until all the people in Cajamarca were killed. Pizarro tried to pick the arm of the emperor to get him down, but the litter was too tall. A lot of people came to hold Atahualpa up, and the spanish tried to kill them all one by one, just to see that other people took their places to hold his emperor up. The process of get the emperor down spend all the time of the massacre until there was no one to hold the golden litter.

[@1stPCFerret]

When you got to the end of the episode, I was pleasantly surprised to see a yellow bottle with a blue label. I know that bottle: it's Inca Kola, a popular latin American soft drink Inca Kola is a soft drink that was created in Peru in 1935 by British immigrant Joseph Robinson Lindley. The soda has a sweet, fruity flavor that somewhat resembles its main ingredient, lemon verbena. Americans compare its flavor to bubblegum or cream soda. Manufacturer: Corporación Lindley S.A. Introduced: 1935 Related product: Coca-Cola Country of origin: Peru

Native peoples who once hated the Inca rulers now saw them as a source of pride after the Spanish conquests. Every dictator in the world: so if some other guy who's worse replaces me, I'll be remembered as a hero?

[@abcdef27669]

It explains the nostalgia about the military dictatoship in Brazil (1964-1985). The democratic governments post-1988 were so corrupt and fucked up that brazilian people didn't mind if we have a new military government.

[@juanmam.2113]

It wasnt that much pride. All this sense of Incan unity grew especially since the 17th century when natives were finding a way to become "all as one" in order to make some significant opposition to the creolles and some ruling spanish. Since the Inca "unified" the region, they chose kichwua as the language of the natives and, since the spanish already talked it, form certain alliances with them in case needed. This led to a cultural diversion between south american cultures where they shared common incan traditions along with their traditions.

At 2:08. What a great clash of civilizations. I can totally see why Atahualpa got angry--"Ooooh, a magic box with gods inside! Hey, wait a minute, this box isn't a box! It's just a bunch of weird cloth with patterns on it! I've been deceived and humiliated! Kill them!"
