The Inca Empire in the 1400s and early 1500s, spanned much of South America’s Andean region, over 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers), from modern-day Bolivia and Peru to Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and Colombia.
It included dozens of ethnic groups with different languages, cities, temples, farming terraces and fortresses.
Atahualpa was the last of his dynasty. He was the last of the independent kings of Incan Empire. He was the last of the true and original ones that settled the Americas.
During the Spanish conquest he was taken captive in what is now Cajamarca, Peru.
The Spanish tried to convert him to their Christianity failing which they executed him by strangulation.
After his death in 1533, the empire began to fall apart….
He was forgotten for many years. Noone knew how he looked liked. It was assumed he was just another Indian.
The Portugese ensured that henceforth they placed by only compliant persons on the throne. Those persons were mostly from other ethnic groups within the Incan Empire, especially those that had the least similarities with and sympathies for the former ruling power.
Rediscovery:
An Ecuadoran researcher believes that she has found Atahualpa’s tomb.
The site in the Andes mountains is about 40 miles south of Quito, Ecuador. It is an architectural complex at an altitude of 3,350 feet in the Andes mountains. It contains several rooms and includes an ushno, a layered pyramid, supporting a throne — structures linked to the cult of ancestors.
Up till now, no one has found an Inca king’s tomb.
