As a Peruvian citizen, I am greatly surprised and thankful for the video. The animation greatly resembles some of Inca designs. Even though lots of corrections can be made (i.e. most of the great expansion was due to the annexations of previous cities and kingdoms with all of their infrastructure remaining intact), the fact that the Inca empire, from which I am a blessed descendent, is still of scientific interest to the world, is touching.

A great video, but as a Peruvian I’d like to add one major detail about this story: Pizarro actually tricked and captured an unarmed Atahualpa who had agreed to have a peaceful meeting, and the Spaniards massacred several thousand unarmed Inca civilians in the process. After his capture, Atahualpa offered a room full from floor to ceiling with silver and gold in exchange for his freedom. Pizarro agreed, and within two months the Inca’s half of the promise was fulfilled. Despite this, Pizarro brought Atahualpa to trial in which he was convicted for the alleged charges of treason towards the Spanish, conspiring against the Spanish crown, hiding treasure from the Spanish, and the murder of Huascar. Pizarro had him publicly executed, Atahualpa’s neck was snapped and his body was left on display in the plaza all night. The ransom was collected and split between the Pizarros and many others. This was only the start of one of the greatest plunders and genocides in all of history. So much gold and silver was stolen from the Incas that it destabilized the entire European economy due to inflation, and much of the wealth Western European countries hold to this day originated from these atrocities.

The Inca first appeared in the Andes region during the 12th century A.D. and gradually built a massive kingdom through the military strength of their emperors. Known as Tawantinsuyu, the Inca state spanned the distance of northern Ecuador to central Chile and consisted of 12 million inhabitants from more than 100 different ethnic groups at its peak. Well-devised agricultural and roadway systems, along with a centralized religion and language, helped maintain a cohesive state. Despite their power, the Inca were quickly overwhelmed by the diseases and superior weaponry of Spanish invaders, the last bastion of their immense empire overtaken in 1572.

@ckaren001araujoh.9 6 лет назад

I'm Peruvian and this is really very precise, but there is also another myth about the origin of the Incas, the best known is that Manco Capac and his sister-wife Mama Ocllo, came from Lake Titicaca and were sent by the Sun God (Inti) to found a capital with the spear. Also the complete legend of the four brothers is pretty awesome: one turned into a bird (condor) and another into stone, and finally Manco Capac arrives in Cuzco with his four sisters. And we pronounce it Pachacútec. And the Spaniards killed Atahualpa after making him believe he would survive if he gave them a room full of gold as high as his hand could reach it. And now my country is ruined, I think it's because after many rebellions, many good, skilled and brave people died and only leave us with the worst. And now the only good things are food and landscapes :D and culture. If you ever come to visit, watch your cell phones! And go to another place that is not only Machu Picchu, that is, go there, but also go to Paracas, Huancayo, Tarapoto, Puno, Tacna (Máncora) :D Have a good day!

The legen of Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo that we were told at school (I am peruvian also) was a spanish interpretation of the "hermanos ayar" legend.

More information, I recommend to read Maria Rostoworski books about this.

Nicely done. Just a reminder. According to Peruvian History text books, there are two myths for the Inca's Empire foundation. One is attributed to Manco Capac and his sister-wife Mama Ocllo, a couple emerging from the bottom of Lake Titicaca. The second one is attributed to the 4 Ayar Brothers. Ayar Manco and his sister-wife Mama Ocllo; Ayar Cachi & Mama Cora; Ayar Uchu & Mama Rahua and last, but not least, Ayar Auca and his sister-wife Mama Huaco. They all emerged from a cave at Tamputocco hill, where both myths coincides as the foundation site. Finally, according to Peruvian scholars, there were almost 15 million people before the Spanish arrival. They were surprised not only for its buildings and highly efficient road systems (The Inca used to eat fresh fish up there in Cusco in a daily basis, thanks to the chaskis - sort of running carriers- using the Capac Ñam, a Real Road network connecting all 4 corners of the Empire.

Amazing video, beautiful animation. I'm so glad this channel exists. Though probably a bit too in-depth for an approachable overview video, I wish the ending would've covered Túpac Amaru, the last Sapa Inca. The story of his escape from the Spanish, his execution and his final words could come straight from a movie.

I'm Peruvian and I'd like to thank TED-ed for this video. Yes it is unfortunate that European invasion destroyed the Inca empire but let's remember that all empires have the same fate.

One important historical note is that the Spanish were largely aided by indigenous allies and that the Spanish forces were small, but their allies outnumbered them significantly which led to many of the victories rather than technology and disease.

Wrong, guns and disease also played a major part

@user-ru5er5nf3t 3 года назад

@@walrus6173 Your legitimately quite wrong here. Yeah, disease did play a massive part in decreasing the population before the Spanish arrived, but the most important battles the Spanish were vastly outnumbered by indigenous peoples who were either on a different side of the Inca Civil War that was still raging at the time and indigenous tribes conquered by the Quechua and Puquina speaking Inca. The only outlier is the Battle of Cajamarca which was a raid on a party where much of the Inca Army carried ceremonial weaponry.

@@walrus6173 That was the catalyst of the Sapa Inca dying early, but really my point isn’t that disease wasn’t a huge factor, but that the indigenous allies were a very big factor.

Even after the conquest, the Spanish were never able to penetrate into the rebellious areas in the jungle and Inca resistance lived on for a long time.

Not much. Technologically, the Incas were literally millennia behind Europe. They were probably behind ancient Egypt, which had a far more advanced farming system as well as several domesticated animals.

@icantthinkofitrightnow2741 6 лет назад

Joel Monteiro you're joking right? "Millennia behind Europe", I'm gonna need you to elaborate.

@joelmonteiro1419 6 лет назад

Joking? What part? Technologically, the Incas were not very advanced since they were pretty much isolated. Unlike Europe, they didn't emerge out of several other thousands of years old civilizations such as the summerians, egyptians, fenicians, greeks, romans, etc. The Incas had roads, pottery, standard farming and even ways to "write" messages but they were literally millennia behind Europe. It's debatable if they even had an alphabet or numerical system, something that existed for thousands of years on the other side of the Atlantic. As I said, technologically, they would be where the ancient Egypts were at around 3000-2500 BC without much room to improve since they were VERY isolated. Egypt grew rapidly due to its privileged crops and location in the Mediterranean, which allowed them to trade and have contact with several other people.

@jonas6259 6 лет назад

Joel Monteiro, they were not "millennia behind" but yes, they were behind. There were nearly no animals or plants to domesticate and because of the south-north axis there was not much technology transfer with North America. One way or another, they would come in contact with Eurasia, starting a devastating pandemic killing most of the native inhabitants.

@furtfight1 6 лет назад

All the aspects of culture, landscape, and many other civilizatory aspects of humanity, that would have been different... It's just really intriguing to imagine.

When Pizarro and the spaniards arrive, there was a massive civil war in the Inca Empire, between the brothers Atahualpa and Waskar for the Inca throne, they were fighting each other, so the conquistadores got advantage of this , proced to convince the civilian inca people to join them so they coul be "free" from the Inca reign and war, obviously this was a lie and they just wanted the throne. Thats how they got a a masive advantage and proceed to govern Cusco and the Inca civilization.
