Pachacuti turned out to be a good name for this ninth ruler of the Inca. Because while the name did mean “earth-shaker” it was also a philosophical concept. In Quechua, the Inca’s primary language, a pachacuti was a historic event, a cataclysm that overturns space and time, remaking the world. It was a good title for the man who would forge the Kingdom of Cusco into an empire. bit.ly/EHPatreon

Sun Tzu described the most skilled victories as usually being won quietly because the victories were planned so the enemy would lose without putting up much resistance. The bold, glorious victories are often glorious in part because of the risk of defeat, which isn’t desirable.

Is important to note that those forcefull relocations of comunities not only allowed more tax to the state and crush ethnic resistance, but also something far more important: homogeinity. Quechua prior to the inca empire was one of many languages in the andes, but after the conquest it became the predominant language in the region to the point even 300 hundred years of spanish rule could not bring it down, also securing the cultural integrity of the andean comunities against the european colonization. Nowadays quechua dialects are the only native american language with over 10 million speakers. A legacy of Pachakuti which still resonates today.

In the context of the pre-Columbian Andes, the Incas must have been a terrifying enemy to face. Some thing between the Roman Empire (a large empire with provinces and client kings, effective road system and a large, well organized military) and the Soviet Union (communist economy and forced population transfers), not to mention their ruthlessness in dealing with enemies who wouldn't surrender. That the Incas could organize such a vast empire without money, wheels or writing is even more impressive. I wonder how long the Inca Empire would have lasted if not for the Spanish.
