Ep. 59: Las Nuevas Leyes

Nick Machinski — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 02:06:56 +0000

El abuso y explotación de las poblaciones indígenas en las Américas no pasó desapercibido. Con la bula papal emitida, Carlos V tuvo que abordar la situación. La solución: Las Nuevas Leyes. Si bien las leyes no fueron bien recibidas en Hispanoamérica, en ninguna parte provocaron una reacción más acalorada que en Peru.

Up until now the Viceroy's of Peru had their hands full with Inca revolts as well as rebellions from fellow Spaniards. With much of that in the past, the Junta Major wanted someone who could implement the changes they desired. They would select Francisco de Toledo and the Andes would never be the same.

El maíz, o maíz, se cultiva en todo el mundo. Pero no siempre fue así. Esta planta tiene su origen en el sur de México moderno, siendo sus padres el teosinte y el tripsacum. Pero la descendencia de estas dos plantas progenitoras fue bastante diferente al maíz que conocemos y amamos hoy, muy diferente. En este episodio, echamos un breve vistazo a cómo el maíz que conocemos hoy en día se convirtió en lo que es. Y, por supuesto, los Andes tienen su papel que desempeñar.

Los Incas y sus antecesores no usaban la escritura como gobernaban. Sin embargo, había khipus.

En este episodio discutiremos lo que sabemos hasta ahora sobre los khipus y discutiremos cómo los investigadores han interpretado casos específicos. Si está desbloqueado, el khipus puede revelar mucho sobre lo que estaba sucediendo dentro del Tawantinsuyu.

Finalmente, exploramos cómo ha cambiado el sistema con el tiempo y observamos otros sistemas similares en los Andes.

Antes de unirse a su padre, Inti, Tupac llama a los nobles a su lado junto con su hijo: Titu Cusi Yupanqui.

Ep. 36: Tupa Capac y La Yanacona

Nick Machinski — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 02:30:09 +0000

Esta semana aprendemos sobre una clase de personas llamadas yanacona. Aunque nada nuevo para las sociedades andinas, los incas parecen haber sido los que expandieron el uso de esta clase de personas. Sin embargo, también aprendemos que esta clase se puede usar contra el Inca ya que Tupac se enfrenta a una rebelión de sus propios parientes.

Tupac ahora había terminado dos rebeliones y completó una peregrinación a la Isla del Sol. Este es el sur más lejano en el que jamás había estado. Pero él iría más allá. Mucho más lejos. A través de Bolivia, Argentina antes de cruzar nuevamente los Andes para ingresar a Chile. Pero el Sapa Inca tiene que regresar a Cuzco eventualmente, si sobrevive al viaje…

Reinvigorated by what was seen at Tumbez, Pizarro seeks an audience at the Spanish Court. Returning to Peru with new titles and the Spanish Court’s blessing to conquer lands, Pizarro seeks to determine who is the leader of this land he is now governor of.

Collasuyu ahora estaba firmemente de vuelta en el control Inca. Mientras estaba en las orillas del lago Titicaca, Tupac debe haber mirado el gran lago y las islas en la distancia. Aquí nació Inti; donde nació Quilla (la Luna). Había oído que tres lugares de nacimiento estaban consagrados en esas islas. Y así el Sapa Inca abordó una barca de totora y se embarcó a la Isla del Sol.

Huayna Capac has just died from a mysterious disease that is sweeping the Andes (possibly Smallpox or Measels). The unexpected death of the Sapa Inca and the unfortunate fate of his likely heir leads to a succession crisis from which two candidates emerge: Atahualpa and Huascar. We’ll explore what we know of their background, up to this point in the narrative, a background which will continue to have consequences for the Inca for decades to come.

Con el imperio en rápida expansión, vamos a tomarnos un tiempo para abordar lo que estaba sucediendo más allá de la conquista de la tierra por parte de Tupac. Tupac también estaba construyendo. Bajo su mandato se construyeron haciendas, edificios administrativos, caminos y coricanchas. Sin embargo, también supervisó algunos de los usos más expansivos del reasentamiento en los Andes con el uso del sistema mitmae. Finalmente, regresaremos a nuestra narrativa para ver cómo dos grupos vecinos recibieron un trato muy diferente por parte de los incas.

Nick Machinski — Mon, 24 Jan 2022 02:24:40 +0000

A finales del siglo XV, había un imperio en la costa norte del actual Perú: el Imperio Chimor. Los Chimú hicieron su hogar en el Valle de Moche, la cultura que había habitado el área más de 500 años antes. En la seca costa occidental del continente, los chimú pudieron crear un próspero imperio que controlaba el comercio y fabricaba exquisitos trabajos en oro. Si no hubiera sido por cierto Inca que bajaba de los Andes, es posible que este podcast tuviera otro título.

Durante sus campañas someterá a grupos tanto por medios diplomáticos como militares. Se enfrentará a grupos en Cajamarca, una confederación cerca de Quito y un grupo cultural feroz cerca de la actual Quayaquil. Para colmo, Tupac se embarca en un viaje en barco… tal vez.

Ep. 25: Caminos Inca

Nick Machinski — Tue, 28 Dec 2021 22:03:50 +0000

La logística a menudo se puede pasar por alto cuando uno piensa en grandes ejércitos o hazañas militares. Sin embargo, llevar un ejército de un lugar a otro es a veces una hazaña en sí mismo. Especialmente, cuando el ejército supera los 100.000, marchando a través de montañas en una tierra donde la temporada agrícola era extremadamente impredecible.

Sin embargo, los incas crearon uno de los mejores sistemas de carreteras de cualquier civilización del mundo en ese momento. Por supuesto, adaptaron algunos caminos de los Wari y otros grupos, pero el Inca crearía un camino y un sistema de abastecimiento que se extendía desde el norte de Chile hasta Quito. Fue tanto su logística como su número lo que haría a Tupac Inca Yupanqui.

Mientras tanto, la nobleza Inca lo presiona para que nombre un heredero y uno de los principales candidatos acaba de marchar hacia el sur en la peligrosa misión de sofocar la rebelión.

However, Helen Pugh has worked to change that. Helen is the author of Intrepid Dudettes of the Inca Empire and her book explores various women throughout the time and space within the Inca Empire. In this episode, I sit down with Helen to discuss her book and the women who lived through incredible events.

Maize, or corn, is grown all over the globe. But it wasn’t always this way. This plant has its origins in southern modern-day Mexico, with its parents being teosinte and tripsacum. But the off-spring of these two parent plants was quite different than the maize we know and love today, much different. In this episode we take a brief look at how maize we know today became what it is. And of course, the Andes have their role to play.

The Inca and their predecessors did not use writing as they governed. However, there were khipus.

In this episode we will discuss what we know so far about the khipus and discuss how researchers have interpreted specific cases. If unlocked, the khipus can reveal a lot about what was happening within Tawantinsuyu.

El Panteón Inca

Nick Machinski — Mon, 06 Sep 2021 00:55:32 +0000

Hoy nos adentramos en el mundo de la religión Inca. Ya hemos tocado el tema antes, pero es importante comprender el amplio alcance de la religión, ya que desempeñó un papel clave no solo en la administración, sino en la vida cotidiana de la gente. Hablaremos de los dioses, las huacas y los sacrificios que se les hicieron. Rituales que cubriremos otro día.

Just a quick update on the show and what to expect for the next handful of months.

Ep. 16: El Coricancha

Nick Machinski — Mon, 23 Aug 2021 01:15:43 +0000

Es posible que hayas oído hablar de El Dorado, la mítica ciudad hecha de oro. Innumerables exploradores se han aventurado a buscarlo, muchos nunca regresaron. En este punto, con gran parte del mundo explorado y mapeado, sabemos que El Dorado no existe ... ¿verdad? ¿Y si te dijera que existe, pero no es una ciudad? Si alguna vez hubo un El Dorado, existió en un solo edificio: El Coricancha

Ep. 15: Sacsayhuamán

Nick Machinski — Mon, 09 Aug 2021 02:54:54 +0000

Dejamos atrás la narrativa para embarcarnos en la investigación de diferentes aspectos de la vida, el gobierno y la cultura Inca. Para empezar, miramos una de las maravillas del imperio Inca: Sacsayhuamán. Este edificio era un fuerte, un centro religioso y una instalación de almacenamiento. ¡También es la estructura megalítica más grande de América del Norte! ¿Quien lo construyó? Y lo que es más importante, ¿Cómo se construyó? Dale play para averiguarlo.

Ep. 14: (Re) construyendo Cuzco

Nick Machinski — Mon, 26 Jul 2021 01:25:44 +0000

Pachacutec ha vuelto de sus campañas. Ha traído varios grupos bajo el dominio Inca y numerosos botines a Cuzco. Pero Cuzco, a los ojos de Pachacutec, era inadecuado. Se encontraba esencialmente en un pantano, sus edificios eran de madera y carecía de la gloria que Pachacutec sabía que se merecía. Así, reconstruiría el Ombligo del Universo en la capital más grande de todos los Andes.

Ep. 10: La Ascension Inca

Nick Machinski — Mon, 07 Jun 2021 00:54:49 +0000

En este episodio echamos un vistazo a la evidencia arqueológica que rodea el ascenso de los incas desde sus inicios como cacicazgo hasta un estado solidificado en uno de los muchos valles de los Andes. En el camino, fueron rodeados por otros grupos, expandieron su base agrícola, formaron alianzas y sometieron enemigos. En contraste con lo que se describe en muchos de los relatos, los incas eran un estado estable en el momento del ascenso al poder de Pachacuti.

Ep. 9: Los Fuentes

Nick Machinski — Sun, 23 May 2021 02:21:51 +0000

¿Cómo tenemos relatos de los orígenes incas cuando no tenían un sistema de escritura? En este episodio nos alejamos de la narrativa para discutir nuestras fuentes. Los cronistas españoles, los relatos indígenas, la investigación arqueológica y los relatos etnohistóricos se utilizarán en el futuro del espectáculo. Discutimos los pros y los contras de algunas de estas fuentes porque (¡Sorpresa!) los relatos de los conquistadores y conquistados llevan consigo algunos prejuicios.

Ep. 8: Mitos de Origen, Parte 2

Nick Machinski — Mon, 10 May 2021 00:40:16 +0000

El asesinato de Yahuar Huacac deja al Inca en una crisis de sucesión. El joven Wiracocha Inca tendrá que intervenir y tomar las riendas del gobierno. Su gobierno, en general, será un éxito. Sin embargo, su hijo y sucesor deja mucho que desear. Con un viejo enemigo marchando hacia Cuzco, el Inca necesitará un héroe para dar un paso al frente y salvarlos de una destrucción segura.

Ep. 37: Rebels Until the End

Nick Machinski — Sun, 02 May 2021 17:36:50 +0000

Tupac Inca Yupanqui must deal with one final rebellion, this time out on the coast. The rebellion is so difficult that the Sapa Inca must ask assistance from a council of huacas. He later builds an estate at Chinchero. Tupac will retire to his estate as his health declines. Before he joins his father, Inti, Tupac calls the nobles to his side along with his son: Titu Cusi Yupanqui.

Nick Machinski — Sun, 25 Apr 2021 17:59:18 +0000

Los incas emergen de sus cuevas y se embarcan en una búsqueda dirigida por Ayar Manco para encontrar tierras fértiles. Enviado por el mismo dios Creador, Wiracocha, el Inca fundó la ciudad de Cuzco. Aquí los incas deben labrar un pedazo de territorio para sí mismos, como hemos visto otras civilizaciones antes que ellos. Los líderes se levantarán y caerán. Se harán tramas y otras se frustraran. Se formarán alianzas y los enemigos serán derrotados. Han llegado los Hijos del Sol; y los Andes nunca volverán a ser los mismos.

Ep. 36: Tupa Capac & The Yanacona

Nick Machinski — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 00:23:19 +0000

This week we learn about a class of people called the yanacona. Though nothing new to Andean societies, the Inca seemed to have been the ones to expand the use of this class of people. However, we also learn that this class can be used against the Inca as Tupac faces a rebellion from his own kin.

Regresamos a Perú y analizamos al misterioso: Wari. A los Wari y sus antepasados se les atribuye la difusión de la agricultura en terrazas en gran parte de los Andes. También han influido en los Moche, Nasca y Tiwanaku. Entonces, ¿quiénes eran y cuál es el legado que dejaron? ¿Fueron el primer imperio de los Andes?

Nick Machinski — Sun, 28 Mar 2021 17:48:07 +0000

Hoy nos dirigimos aún más al sur y hacia los propios Andes. Situado entre la Cordillera Blanca y la Cordillera Negra se encuentra el Altiplano, un altiplano que se encuentra dentro de las fronteras de los actuales Perú, Bolivia y Chile. En esa meseta se encuentra el lago navegable más alto del mundo: el lago Titicaca. En las costas se levantaba una ciudad que llegaría a dominar el Altiplano y los Andes del sur: Tiwanaku.

Ep. 34: There and Back Again

Nick Machinski — Sun, 21 Mar 2021 17:36:49 +0000

Tupac had now ended two rebellions and completed a pilgrimage to the Island of the Sun. This is the farthest south that he had ever been. But he would go further. Much further. Through Bolivia, Argentina before crossing the Andes again to get into Chile. But the Sapa Inca has to return to Cuzco eventually, if he survives the journey...

Bienvenidos una vez más a la historia de los Incas. En esta ocasión, exploramos uno de los grupos más conocidos que habitó, no solo lo que hoy es Perú, sino toda Sudamérica, los Nasca. Seguro, conoces sus líneas en el desierto, pero estas personas estaban haciendo mucho más que dibujar imágenes. Vivían en el desierto de Atacama, ¡el más seco de la Tierra! ¿Cómo, no solo vivieron, sino que tuvieron una cultura próspera en un rincón tan duro del mundo? Sintonice para averiguarlo.

Ep. 33: The Island of the Sun

Nick Machinski — Mon, 08 Mar 2021 02:19:34 +0000

Collasuyu was now firmly back in Inca control. While on the banks of Lake Titicaca, Tupac must have looked upon the great lake and at the islands in the distance. This is where Inti was born; where Quilla (the Moon) was born. He had heard that thrie birthplaces were enshrined on those islands. And so the Sapa Inca boarded a reed boat and embarked to the Island of the Sun.

¡Bienvenidos una vez más a La historia de los Incas!

En este episodio veremos la primera de las cuatro sociedades andinas que existieron antes del Inca, los Moche.

Los Moche fueron una cultura que habitó la costa norte del Perú hasta alrededor de los años 800 después de Cristo. Hay mucho sobre esta sociedad que no conocemos, pero discutiremos su posible estructura administrativa, ceremonias y el camino hacia su desaparición. Aunque esta zona está más relacionada con el estado Chimú posterior que con el Inca, este episodio cubrirá varios temas (huacas, sacrificio, vida costera y proliferación religiosa) a los que nos referiremos una y otra vez.

Ep. 32: Conflict in Collasuyu

Nick Machinski — Sun, 21 Feb 2021 18:59:47 +0000

After an uncomfortable but successful campaign in Andesuyu, Tupac Inca Yupanqui returns to the capital to enjoy his triumph. But the celebration is cut short when word comes in from the South that the Colla and their allies have risen in rebellion in Collasuyu. The area is the most populous in the empire. And though the Inca have had success in Collasuyu, they’ve also faced disaster.

Bienvenido a: ¡La historia de los Incas! Este es un nuevo podcast que cubre la historia del Imperio Inca. Después de escuchar otros podcasts y ver lo que había ahí fuera, el presentador Nick Machinski notó que la cobertura de esta área de la historia apenas se había cubierto. Después de casi dos años produciendo el podcast para una audiencia de habla inglesa, Nick decidió que era hora de traducir el programa al español, y aquí es donde entró Alicia Yantas, la presentadora en español. Este episodio presentará al presentador, el formato del programa y el horario. Indicamos qué esperar de los primeros episodios y qué planeamos cubrir en episodios posteriores. ¡Tenemos muchas ganas de comenzar esta aventura contigo!

Podcast Update

Nick Machinski — Mon, 08 Feb 2021 02:12:04 +0000

A lot has happened since November 2020, when we had our last few episodes. Several projects that I've mentioned just a few months ago, are actually taking shape. Plus, some things are changing in my personal life that will interfere with the podcast a bit. All of this was too much to put at the beginning of a single episode, so please take a moment and listen to this update, so you are aware of what will be taking place for the next several months.

Ep. 30: Announcements & Questions

Nick Machinski — Mon, 23 Nov 2020 01:05:26 +0000

With the end of our second year, I make several announcements. Afterwards, we dive into a variety of questions ranging from religion to Polynesian-South American contact.

Tupac returns to Cuzco to celebrate his latest conquests. But this triumph would be cut short has his father lies on his deathbed. In this episode we cover the funeral rites and summarize the feats of arguably the greatest Inca ruler: Pachacuti.

Ep. 28: Provincial Life

Nick Machinski — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 01:20:02 +0000

With the empire quickly expanding, we're going to take some time to touch on what was happening beyond just Tupac conquering land. Tupac was also building. Estates, administration buildings, roads and coricanchas were all built under his watch. However, he also oversaw some of the most expansive use of resettlement in the Andes with the use of the mitmae system. Finally, we'll return to our narrative to see how two neighboring groups received vastly different treatment from the Inca.

Ep. 27: The Chimú

Nick Machinski — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 00:21:22 +0000

Late in the 15th century, there was an empire on the Northern coast of modern-day Peru: The Chimor Empire. The Chimu made their home in the Moche Valley, the culture who had inhabited the area over 500yrs prior. On the dry western coast of the continent, the Chimu were able to create a thriving empire that controlled trade and made exquisite works of gold. If it hadn’t been for a certain Inca who was coming down from the Andes, it is possible that this podcast would have a different title.

Now that we've covered the military and the road system that would transport it, we join Tupac Inca Yupanqui as he marches North. During his campaigns he'll subdue groups by both diplomatic and military means. He'll face groups at Cajamarca, a confederation near Quito and a fierce culture group near modern day Quayaquil. To cap it all off, Tupac goes on a sailing trip...maybe.

Ep. 25: Inca Roads

Nick Machinski — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 01:39:55 +0000

Logistics can be often overlooked when one thinks of great armies or military feats. However, getting an army from one place to another is sometimes a feat in itself. Especially, when the army is in over pushing 100,000, marching through mountains in a land where the agricultural season was extremely unpredictable.

However the Inca created one of the best road systems of any civilization in the world at that time. Of course they adapted some roads from the Wari and other groups, but the Inca would create a road way and supply system that stretched from northern Chile to Quito. It was their logistics as much as it was their numbers which would make Tupac Inca Yupanqui.

The Inca would expand their borders in many ways: gift giving, strategic marriages and alliances. But their military would also come to dominate the Andes as well as the western coast of South America thanks to Tupac Inca Yupanqui. We’ll look at what the command structure looked like within the Inca army, what took place before the army set out on campaign and how they would engage in a battle.

Machu Picchu, a suspected estate of Pachacuti, is a feat of engineering that looks over the Sacred Valley. A highly religious site, Machu Picchu is filled with huacas, temples, grave sites and is ingrained into the mountainous landscape. It is an amazing place to visit, so click play and let’s go on a tour.

Today we are looking at Andean Music thanks to a lecture from Kike Pinto, the founder and curator of TAKI/Institute, Museum of Musical Instruments and Cultural Center. The museum is located in Cuzco and houses traditional instruments that would have been played in the times of the Inca. But there are instruments from other groups as well. If you’d like to hear more demos, visit the museum’s website, or watch a demonstration, check out the links below.

Ep. 21: The Heir of Pachacuti

Nick Machinski — Mon, 08 Jun 2020 00:45:34 +0000

Pachacuti has been getting up there in years. He can still administer his empire from Cuzco, but he can no longer go on campaign. When a rebellion breaks out in Collasuyu he can’t march with his army to put the rebels in his place. Instead, Pachacuti must rely on his sons to go and put out the rebellion. All the while, he is pressed by the Inca nobility to name an heir and one of the top candidates just marched south on the dangerous mission to quell the rebellion.

Nick Machinski — Mon, 11 May 2020 00:43:48 +0000

Episode 17: The Inca Pantheon

Today we wade into the world of Inca religion. We’ve touched on the subject before, but it is important to understand the broad scope of the religion as it played a key part of not only the administration, but the everyday lives of the people. We’ll touch on the Gods, huacas, and the sacrifices made to them. Rituals we may cover another day.

Nick Machinski — Mon, 30 Mar 2020 00:10:11 +0000

You may have heard of El Dorado, the mythical city made of gold. Countless explorers have ventured out to look for it, many never returned. At this point, with much of the world having been explored and mapped, we know, that El Dorado doesn’t exist...right? What if I told you that it did exist, but it wasn’t a city. If there ever was an El Dorado, it existed in a single building: The Coricancha

Ep. 14: (Re)building Cuzco

Episode 14: (Re)building Cuzco

Pachacuti has returned from his campaigns. He has brought several groups under Inca rule and numerous spoils to Cuzco. But Cuzco, in Pachacuti’s eyes was inadequate. It sat in essentially a swamp, it’s buildings were of wood and it lacked the glory that Pachacuti knew it deserved. Thus, he would rebuild the Navel of the Universe into the greatest capital in all of the Andes.

Happy Holidays Everyone! After hearing this interview on a local radio station I wanted to share it with you all. At first I was saving it for a time when I fell behind on the podcast, but that hasn’t happened yet, and I wanted to share this interview while it is still relatively recent. The interview is about a professor who worked for years to repatriate an Inca mummy back to Bolivia. Enjoy the episode and have a great and safe Holiday!

Ep. 10: The Inca Ascension

Nick Machinski — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 16:39:13 +0000

In this episode we take a look at the archaeological evidence surrounding the rise of the Inca from their beginnings as a chiefdom to a solidified state in one of the many valleys in the Andes. Along the way, they were hemmed in by other groups, expanded their agricultural base, formed alliances and subdued enemies. In contrast to what is described in many of the accounts, the Inca were a stable state by the time of Pachacuti’s rise to power.

Ep. 9: The Sources

Nick Machinski — Sat, 05 Oct 2019 23:17:41 +0000

How do we have accounts of the Inca origins when they didn’t have a writing system? In this episode we step away from the narrative to discuss our sources. Spanish Chroniclers, Indigenous Accounts, Archaeological research and Ethno-Historical accounts will all be used for the show going forward. We discuss the pros and cons to some of these sources because (Surprise!) accounts by the conquerors and conquered carry some bias with them.

Here the Inca must carve out a piece of territory for themselves as we have seen other civilizations before them accomplish. Leaders will rise and fall. Plots will be made and others foiled.

Episode 6: The Wari

We return back to Peru and analyze the mysterious Wari. The Wari and their ancestors are credited with spreading terrace farming throughout much of the Andes. They have also had a hand in influencing the Moche, Nasca and Tiwanaku. So who were they and what is the legacy they left? Were they the first empire in the Andes? Listen to find out.

Ep. 5: Tiwanaku

Nick Machinski — Sat, 01 Jun 2019 02:19:41 +0000

Today we head even further south and into the Andes themselves. Situated between the Cordillera Blanca and the Cordillera Negra is the Altiplano, a high plateau that sits within the borders of modern day Peru, Bolivia and Chile. On that plateau sits the world's highest navigable lake: Lake Titicaca. On the shores of rose a city that would come to dominate the Altiplano and the southern Andes: Tiwanaku.

Episode 4: The Nasca

Welcome once again to A History of the Inca. This time we explore one of the most well known groups that inhabited, not only what is now Peru, but all of South America, the Nasca. Sure, you know about their lines on the desert, but these people were much doing much more than drawing images. They lived in the Atacama Desert, the driest on Earth! How, did they not only live, but have a thriving culture in such a harsh corner of the world? Tune in to find out.

Ep. 3: The Moche

Nick Machinski — Sat, 06 Apr 2019 13:24:39 +0000

Welcome once again to A History of the Inca!

In this episode we will be looking at the first of four Andean societies that existed prior to the Inca, the Moche.

The Moche were a culture that inhabited the north coast of Peru until around 800 AD. There is much about this society that we don’t know, but we will be discussing their possible administration structure, ceremonies and the road to their demise. Though this area is related more to the later Chimu state than the Inca, this episode will cover several topics (huacas, sacrifice, coastal life and religious proliferation) that we will refer back to again and again.

This time we are getting the lay of the land. Literally. First we, discuss the geography, dominated by the imposing Andes. Next, we tackle the climate and explain how El Nino and other natural events can cause havoc.

Resources such as food, water and materials are discussed briefly. Finally, we talk about how the native people were able to adapt to the harsh environment and how they formed unique family units called ayllus.
