Tawantinsuyu: Uncovering New History

INTRODUCTION Most of the things our North Americans and South Americans are enjoying today are built by conquest and colonization processes. There are many reasons for people to accept the risk of leaving Europe's big cities across the Atlantic in an unknown place, but there are still new reasons to be revealed today. At the time, thought concentrated mainly on the new land of the west, and provided the infinite territory, the new trade route, rich wealth, and the idea of ​​adventure.

HIST 1967T History of the Andes from Inca to Evo Morales. Prior to the invasion of Spain in the 1530s, western South America was the largest country in the history of the New World - the Tawantinsuyu of the Inca Empire. During the colonial rule of nearly 300 years, the Andean region was shared by the "Republic of Spain" and "Republic of India". Two independent societies dominated one and exploited the other. Quechua and Aymara villagers are Spanish speaking countries, more and more increasingly integrated world markets, international banks neoliberalism reform pressure, and melt. Andes glacier writing

The most mysterious thing about Tawantinsuyu is that no record of written words was found. This is a very speculative reason for the history of the empire. We are completely dependent on the Spanish chronicle. But when the Spaniard arrived, Tawantinsuyu was tightly organized interwoven with about 15 million people. Scholars are amazed at how to do this without writing. Well, I guess they have all the guides I have in Peru; all records must be destroyed by the conqueror. Different viewpoint Local people. Perhaps they think that their language is sacred, only carrying gold and silver When godly Spaniard attacked and melted them all, gold and silver were lost. do not know

The Incan people called their empire Tawantinshu "an inseparable land of the four seasons." Four quarters, Collasuyo, Antisuyu, Cuntisuyu and Chinchasuyu are political areas defined by the imaginary lines issued by the capital. The name Tawantinsuyu reflects desire rather than reality - the unity of these dormitories and the people living in it is still fragile through state short-lived. When the Empire came about 100 years ago, the band of 168 Spanish adventurers led by Francisco Pizzaro (about 1475-1541) helped end Tavanti Suyou in 1533. Because there is no unique writing system in the Andes Mountains, our understanding collects information about the empire from Empire archeology, early Spanish literature and a few local explanations. These sources often do not match, and there is still a lot of gap in our understanding of Inca's life.
