The Inca Empire - Andean Apocalypse - Extra History - Part 4

📜 The Inca Empire: Andean Apocalypse - Disease--likely, smallpox or measles--had arrived in the Inca empire, and it was ruthless. Two of the (now dead) Emperor Huayna Capac's sons, Atahualpa and Huáscar, decided that a civil war over who should be Sapa Inca was perfect to do right now--nevermind the fact that Francisco Pizarro and his conquistadores had just showed up.

What a terrible system of succession. If primogeniture had been followed, then the emperor who got smallpox, Huayna Capac, would've not needed to name his successor. The crown would've gone automatically to his oldest son. And if that son died, then it would've gone to his next oldest son, and so on and so forth. Instead we had civil wars. That's a really stupid system, and allowed the Incas to weaken themselves at the worst moment possible--right when the Spanish conquered.

While Atahualpa was prisoner his half brother Manco Inca help spaniards to retake Cusco and won many other battles against Atahualpa generals, some time later Manco was agaisnt Francisco and even seiged Lima and Cusco. He lost Lima because his half sister who was Francisco's wife and mother of his children asked for help to her mother a powerfull curaca (local chief) woman of Andahuaylas and she was once one of Huayna Capac's wives aswell. That way she saved Spaniards against his half brother Manco.

Some post colonial countries kept their culture, just look at India or Malasia, or Oman. Heck, most places kept their indiginous population. The native Americans, also the Aboriginees, got the short end of the stick. Back when America first got discovered the native Americans where one of the big races of the world labled by europeans. Now the Native American race has almost been wiped out of this world. Their culture, their ethnicity. Heck, If I'm correct I don't think there are any native Uruguayans left there, and the population of Native Carribean island people is just absolutely miniscule. The natives in the USA had their land chipped away piece by piece, broken treaty after another. Moved from their homeland more and more west to the lands that the Europeans didn't want... The great city of Tenochtitlan by the Aztec, now specualted to be one of the most beautifull places on the world if still stood today. All destroyed and replaced by basically the same cookie cutter Spanish colonial city you will find over half the continent of America. And Cuzco didn't look bad either, it would probiably be as popular as Machu Picchu this day. The natives on the westren half of south America are the luckey ones atleast. Paruguays officlial language is native, and the president of Bolivia is native too, and so is half of Peru and Bolivia. That might seems good, but sadly most of them have lost their culture. I like Europe and it's culture, but in my opinion it'd be better if it stayed home. That's why we need to spread the word, the word, the culture of a continent of people, a continent of cultures swept away by history, by europe, by time.

It’s quite interesting to know that Atahualpa didn’t think of the Spaniards in the same mindset as Montezuma. Atahualpa learned from one of his spies that the Spaniards weren’t gods, as they got sick, bled and died. So Atahualpa had orders to kill all the men, except for three who were to be made eunuchs. These men were the blacksmith, horse-breeder and the surgeon. The blacksmith would make steel weapons and armor for the Incas; the horse-breeder was to be spared for obvious reasons, so that Atahualpa would be able to train the first Inca cavalry, and the surgeon was to heal the sick and injured. Atahualpa wanted to have Pizarro for lunch, but Pizarro had him for breakfast.

[@juanmam.2113]

I appreciate the work but you guys missed soooo much on this series. For instance: All the inca mummies were thrown away by Atahualpa's forces because they didnt see themselfs as Inca. You explained Atahualpa's mother being from a conquered civilization, but that was it. Didnt expand on: Atahualpa, like his soldiers, were from conquered ecuadorian civilizations. More than putting Atahualpa on the throne, the soldiers wanted revenge and gain certain independence from the empire. Throwing away their mummies was a way of showing the fall of the Incas and the potential rise of south american civilizations. (Fun fact: Because of the thing mentioned above, depending on what country you at you'll have a different answer when asked "Who was the last Inca?". If you are in Peru you'll be told Huascar, but if in Ecuador, you'll be told Atahualpa). I love this channel and that's why I feel the need to say you guys went lazy to this series. I get it that the written sources you are used to are limited on south american societies, but their history is recorded in other reliable ways. Its evident that you only relied on European sources written by Pizarro's journalists (idk if thats how you call them in english). But if you really wanted to get the complete history of the Incas, why not contact a or a couple South American anthropologies, their knowledge is outstanding. Anyways, I still appreciate the effort you gave, cant wait on the next EH series!

For the record, "h" in older Quechua romanizations is silent; it's an inherited quirk from Spanish. So "Atahualpa" is pronounced /ætəˈwɑːlpə/ ("atta-wall-puh") in English and /atawallpa/ (same thing but all the "a"s are more like English "trap") in Quechua; no /h/ sound in either language. Same for Huáscar (/ˈwɑːskɑːr/ in English, /waskar/ in Quechua). Also, I noticed that you're rolling the "r"s in "Pizarro". I would recommend using common anglicizations of names rather than trying to say them in their languages of origin (i.e. using your English /r/ sound rather than rolling it), as with the latter method, you are very likely to make mistakes and end up with a pronunciation that's not right in English _or_ Spanish. For example, if you're trying to pronounce "Pizarro" in Spanish, then the "z" isn't a [z]; it's a [s] in most modern Spanish dialects and a [θ] in the dialect Pizarro himself would have spoken. Also, the "rr" isn't just a tapped [ɾ]; it's a rolled [r], like multiple taps in a row. Also, if you're going to roll the "r", then you should probably deaspirate the "p" for consistency; in Spanish, it's less like English "pin" and more like English "spin". Because foreign phonologies are so complicated, though, I really think it's most correct for English speakers to just use Anglicized pronunciations rather than presuming to be able to pronounce things in languages they don't speak.

While I can see the issues with the account, if Huáscar was an inveterate drinker, that would explain his hardiness/ability to survive the plague long enough to start a war. Alcohol's a disinfectant for a reason, and it's theorized that our species' attraction to it is a revolutionary relic from earlier plagues. (Yes, smallpox is viral, but it's still possible to cause damage to capsids when they're between cells.)

Dont tell me, Hi from Peru

[@thelifesampler]

everything was right until you talk about Atahualpa almost all to not say ALL chronicles that were written by people who was there and talk to royal families says that Atahualpa was son of a noble women of Cusco of the Pachachuti Panaka (noble royal family). Only one or two priest of the XVII claim that Atahualpa was son of a non inca "princess".Moreover, these people who claimed that never set foot in America by the way. How could Atahualpa be fighting along side his father in northern conquest if he was "northern" NO logic, he went from Cusco to conquer north as young and later as an adult with Huayna Capac main generals who then become his generals when he fought Huascar in the Civil War.

Ok, let see the contenders for the Inca throne: First, we have a drunkass, stealer of women and desecrator of sacred lands, who dressed military commanders in women's clothes just to humiliate them. On the other side, a battle-hardened commander who was basically a savage and a hooligan, and also killed his nephews and sisters-in-law. No wonder several tribes under Inca domain joined the conquistadors.

[@garret16]

[@derchesten]

Spoiler alert, atahualpa was captured and tried under the charges of heresy. Also, in 1:27 that's the approximate location of Lima, not Quito, and you pronounced the name huascar as "who-ascar" when is "was-car". Also, official history is that Pizarro met with atahualpa when he was pursuing huascar, history here in Peru portraits atahualpa as a hard basterd with the better army, and huascar was hiding in quito. IDK, history teachers told me that, and that's quite a different story that you're portraying

[@ArtDumbster]

Something commonly teached on peruvian schools is that Spanish conquerors were part of the Civil war if I'm not wrong. Specially because the northern parts of the empire where Atahualpa supporters, and Francisco's translator was from the north, precisely from Tumbes

I have always wonder why in English they call them "Conquistadors" which sort of means "Conquerors" in Spanish but they were not a special force of any kind, they were not even a named group, they were just Conquerors, it wasn't a spanish name, just their work (kinda)... Initially i thought in English were called "Conquistadors" to respect the original Language but that isn't true either because "Conquistadors" i not an Spanish word either, the words are "Conquistador" (Singular) and "Conquistadores" (Plural), there was no such thing as "Conquistadors"

[@gianfrancosegura3587]

Hi from Peru. Well, peruvians think that he is the responsable of Inka Empire end and 300 years of slavery to the spanish crown. The big lost of culture and gold. But is not like you see all peruvians thinking like that. "We" have more problems with Chile than pizarro or his friends.
