- 📜 The Inca Empire: Life of a Dead Emperor - To understand daily life in the Inca Empire, we travel from Cusco to Quito (located in modern-day Ecuador), where Thupa Inca wanted to establish a second capital city. From efficiently designed work assignments, to elaborate death rituals, life was neatly organized, masking rising tensions.

Extra Credits this makes me want to visit Cusco
This is a great video, but...
WHEN WILL YOU FINISH THE THREE KINGDOMS SERIES?!!!!!!!!
PLEASE FINISH THAT BEFORE YOU CAN CONTINUE OTHER SERIES!!!!
Extra Credits has gone on a hiatus like Kentaro Miura.
Yay South American socialism....that's gotta go great!
Ye
Extra Credits no
"So what do you do for a living?"
"I urinate on behalf of our mummy king, long may he reign."
"Sometimes I poop for him, too."
Those dead dudes have better social lives than I do as a living person.
Probably has someone to do that "in his behalf" as well (I mean, considering he even had a designated pisser)
The dead have all the time in the world to socialize. I mean, look at me. I've been dead for centuries and I still socialize. ;)
@@robertwalpole360 :(
@@drakan4769 having sex on behalf of a dead emperor? Sounds like the best job in the Inca empire so far
DISRESPECT THEM WOMEN SUBJUGATE THOSE HOS. He doesn’t either
"Her father volunteered her for a great honour..."
Me: Oh, neat
"...To be sacrificed"
Me: Uhhhh
Tom Baxendale I was like, “She’s either in an arranged marriage or being sacrificed.” Turns out she was both.
No joke, I cried on that part.
It's a bit like if someone in our society performed a heroic sacrifice and literally became a guardian angel to watch over others. They were going to serve the Gods, so it was seen as a great honor.
It seems that the Incan gods wanted them with some experience.
No u.
I'm from Cusco and i have seen people spill beer on the ground and say "for the pacha mama"(mother earth) those traditions still live to this day
Dude that sure sound intressting and awsome
"A man urinates on his behalf"
ok
what you don't have someone for that?
it is one interesting position
Urinating Man: you will never guess what job i have
Random Family member: are you a royal guard?
Urinating Man: no, i piss for the departed emperor
personally thought he said "a man urinates on his back" lmaooo
@@lapeez2277 Cause the emperor was cold👍
How does one apply for the position of: 'Royal Court Urinater'?
Every other civilization: Money can be exchanged for goods and services
Incas: Mummies can have private property but peasants can't
I don't see anything wrong with this.
Um well that's a lie
@@pachacutiyupanqui9546 I do, it was communism for the masses but capitalism for the rich. Doesn't sound very fair, even if they made it work
Peasants ARE private property. Property cant have property, only persons of full legal status can. You are only an actual person if you are born into a royal family, and you get full legal status when you die.
There. Same rules as everywhere else, not so difficult, is it?
I mean, you complain about this, but what about the barbaric practice of human sacrifice?
Additional info for anyone in interest:
In the center of Quito, like in Cusco, you can find odd architecture where the foundations are made out of ancient stones, and the building itself made from colonial bricks. Although, these foundations are not inca like in Cusco, they are Cañari, a tribe from southern Ecuador relocated due to inca expansionism. Those stones are an ancient fortress and here the Cañari, along with other allied tribes, made their last stand against the Incas.
Glad you mentioned the valley of hundreds of millenial civilizations. The valley named after the Quitus. Greetings from Quito EH!
The Kañari were one of the most agressive spanish allies on the Andes, they were really resentful of the Inca domain.
yes, the incans were just like the spaniards, tho they didn't spread as much death because the inca didn't have too foreign diseases.
There's always a bigger fish...

Good information thank you
"And with such small things do empires fall" is a really great quote.

That beginning reminds me of the "I see dead people" scene in The Sixth Sense.
Here , you can actually see dead people....
Lmao imagine if that kid from the movie went to Incan palace ruins and just saw Pachacuti and all the other Incan rulers having a huge party.
Dividing llama herds? Isn't that a lot of drama for the llama
Sacrifices must be made
Why do I see you everywhere ?
Sounds like a llama drama o'rama to me
only drama for the mama of the llama in this diorama
Stay calmer, when you want to harm a llama, call a llama farmer!
Imagine an Inca metal rock band and their front cover is these two mummified kings having a Dinner Party of the Dead 💀
Solqueen86 listen to Chaska or Kranium my friend. That’s, I believe, what you mean. It’s Andean Folk Metal
Imagine a metal Incan band actually having mummies at the stage with alive members
There is also Uchpa, a quechua blues band
"dinner party for the dead" could be a cool band or album name
@Cross Van Dust Stand name: | | *Dinner Party of the Dead* | | Stand abilities: Once a target becomes unconscious the user is able to manipulate his body as if it was his own, however the user themselves are possessed by the affected individual, thinking it's a dream

The moment this episode started and everything was nice and quiet, I asked:
"Okay. When is the plot twist coming?"
Lol
When a decade old corpse has a more active social life than you
hell, a potted plant has a more active social life than me.
I think it's really cool and important that you show us these kinds of things. Many history videos on youtube are basicly just about wars and stuff and give little to no insight on how how life was in that place and time.
Fun fact here. In south american ancient history the daily lives of the people was very well known and documented. Wars, conflicts, treaties, and other stuff isnt documented at all besides from a couple of oral sources that survived time.
This is due to the fact that the history of these tribes is not written, but rather depicted on the work of the artisans, bones of the societes, and the ruins that are still standing
Source: My anthrophology aunt specialized in preincan societies
A massive over generalisation here but I'd say that's a man thing. I studied history at university, which had a decent gender split. If I had to guess, I would say it was 60/40 male to female split. Military history modules were dominated by male students, which makes sense, women aren't going to be featured half as much in military history. I bet a lot of these TH-camrs you're referring to are men.
"They don't fear death"
*insert smallpox*
Incan: I dont fear you!
Smallpox: *Then you well die braver than most*
See, they don't fear death. Dying is the problem.
Long live the inc-
Spanish conquistadors: I'm gonna stop you right there.
Incas: why are we all dying!!!!????
Random Dude: Nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition!!

Nice to see Quito being mentioned and having an important role in a series here after having been raised there ^^ keep up the good work!
They saw pale men, and then they started turning pale.
Big oof
Not really but sure

everybody poops
NO EXCEPTIONS
And if they don't, they're an android, and should be destroyed.
@@malcomalexander9437 I don't know my android (phone) craps out a lot.
Man, can't even get out of going to the party when you're dead. That's rough.
Lord Kroak is still the best psyker even though he's been dead for thousands of years.
His mummy still lives in El Dorado
Magic user, not psyker.
꧂Oddish꧂ Can confirm, just revived him to murder Clan Skryer
Now I'm imagining a fantasy version of the Inca empire in DnD, where dead rulers are turned into undead mummies, so their wisdom can be tapped and their affairs managed into perpetuity.
(Yes, I know there's something like this in Eberron. Calm down.)
Damn!!! The dialogue and scripts of these videos never fail to amaze me and send chills down my spine.
This series really wants to make me visit Cusco
If you like the incas and their history, you will absolutely love learning about other south american societies.
If you ask me, I recommend you visiting Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Chile (aside from Chile, its really not expensive to visit these countries). The ancient history of these nations are fascinating and visiting these countries and their native population are a blessing!
Get ready to be out of breath very quickly.
If you go, buy your ticket to machu picchu before, the entries have been limited and the turist pass in Cusco, to avoid paying extra fees :D
Peru has such a diverse climate. When I visited there I went from Lima in the coast to Huancayo in the mountains to Tingo Maria at the beginning of the jugle. Everywhere is worth seeing and the people are very friendly!
I would definitely recommend it. I spent over a month in Cuzco, from there you can walk on the 4-day Inca trail to Machu Picchu, you can see nearby Inca sites like Saqsaywaman, the Moray terraces. You can go hiking through the Sacred Valley and see traditional Andean villages, you can make trips to Nazca, Lake Titicaca or the Amazon. The whole region is fascinating, you should see Bolivia and Ecuador as well. Just give yourself a few days to acclimitize before you go hiking, and drink the coca leaf tea.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
@@yuriyu123 Something Curious, the spaniards never imposed the Inquisition to the Indigenous people or "Naturales" in the Colonies, only to the Peninsulars and "Criollos" (Whites born in America, not the country I mean the Spanish colonies...)
An object could travel from Quito to Cusco over 1000 miles in just 3 days!
Incas founders of Amazon Prime Shipping confirmed.
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more?
Everybody's comin'; leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door...
Don't be afraid, it's only me!
I doubt that this will even be read, but I'm going to try anyway. Have you ever thought about doing a series on Admiral Thomas Cochrane? He's relatively unknown despite being called one of Britain's best naval heroes. He also led quite the controversial life, which I'm sure would be interesting to read about.
9:19 "Some kind of pox. And with such _small_ things do empires fall."
Hah, nice. *proceeds to die*
Spaniards be like " I have a power of God and Germs you can't defeat me!"
power of one specific god - Nurgle
Bad hygiene for the win!
"Guns, germs, and steel."
New World natives: “Oh, really? We have siphilis!”
Spain: “I expected the Inquisition, but not that!”
@@sodinc So Pizarro was a Chaos Cultist? No wonder Peru is such a mess these days.
EC Narrator: Pale men-
Me: Well that's not good
EC Narrator: they had brought sickness with them
Me: Welp that's it folks
Lovely transition between the everyday life of goldsmiths and royalty to the herald of Incan endtimes.
i guess dead emperors talking to each other are actually their descendant attendant factions communicating and advise is probably laid out by the interpretor whos probably the scion of the dead emperor's family
This is one of my favorite episodes so far! You should do more of these types of episodes, just showing us what life was like for the common people of society.
Incan conquerors: We just gonna take dem llamas real quick.
Local: And you're leaving me with this much??
Incan conquerors: Yes, but you get a share.
Local: THEY WERE ALREADY MINE!
Incan conquerors: Yes, BuT yOu GeT a ShaRe!!!
You know, I'm pretty sure she was afraid anyway.
Weekend at Bernie's is a normal Saturday for the Inca.
I am indeed very happy to see you doing a series about the Inca Empire (noticing this a little late, I know), I just regret you're already getting to the conquest - there's so much more to talk about!
Nice. I wanted to watch something during dinner, and suddenly this video was uploaded. Perfect timing!
"A third goes to the aristocrats, a third goes to priests and a third goes to everyone else"
*ancien regime intensifies*
Non Incan : “so what do you do?”
Incan: “I’m the royal urinator”
You should talk about how the Incas discovered Easter Island and polinesia.
Yeah, there are even Inca constructions on those islands
very nice to watch this videos from your perspective guys, I wish I had this kind of videos when I was in school, keep the good job
Spanish: Arrive in South America
Inca: *I don't feel too good Mr. Capac...*
Fascinating explanation about the labor system. I also liked the subtle jokes-- the quecha party jerky, examining the height of power, etc.
Looking forward to see the next episode!
Best narrative you've done for a while there.
Inca Empire: "I don't feel so good."
Awesome kick-ass video. One of many. 👌👌
This was a very beautiful rendition... I really enjoyed it.
@Extra Credits...
You had me at Mummy Parties. And kept me watching with "History is Metal." ( In all seriousness, keep up the good work. )
Great vids love history
The human sacrifice ceremony sounds pretty serene and tranquil
I love the outro!
Hey extra credits, I have a suggestion for future series: Wu Zutian, Willem of Orange Belgium andthe colonization of the Congo.
Love your work :)
Do you want to make everyone depressed?
Nice hands you got there. It will be a shame if something happened to them.
You gotta become a patron to make those be heard
Which William of Orange? William the Silent or William from the Glorious revolution? They're both called William of Orange. I'm not being pedantic, I'm genuinely not sure which one you're asking for.
New topics are decided by Patrons. If you really want to get your suggestions through, you have to become a patron.
I'm addicted to your vids
Hey extra credits! here's a fun tidbit on the tobacco in this period! early tobacco was smoked via a 'Y' shaped stick (usually engraved and always hallowed) in which you would use the 'V' end to breath through the nose deeply. essentially smoking a loosely rolled tabacco leaf (i've head some depictions of it being tied with cord) through the nose which got you a 5 to 10 minute high and a queezy quick hangover. Neat lil fact :) have a good one guys!
What an awesome video!!! Could you please make a mexican revolution episodes next please
Huayna Capac : Gee I hope I'm as good an Emperor as grandpa
Smallpox : I'm about to end this man's whole empire
During the “dinner party for the dead” at the beginning I couldn’t help but imagine someone sitting next to two mummies and acting out a dinner party like the mummies were dolls 😂

Whoop! Just when I was feeling bored!
I would have fun and fit in at these feasts! I already don’t talk and I’m already following that new fab Quito diet.

Wow, a plot twist on an extra history episode. Didn't see that one coming
The labor system tax is the key to understanding money. This is the heart of all monetary systems, even today. England had tally sticks that served an identical function. You accidentally explained money here better than you did in your series on money, where you reference the myth of barter.
This gives me idea for story
You know, when you guys switched voice actors, i was a bit turned off at first. I was used to the last guy. But ive come to really enjoy the relaxing tone of voice. A+ for the content as always, by the way.
If you miss Dan, watch him on Playframe!
I greatly appreciate the colors that the Weavers are using in Quito
As a peruvian maybe this is why I love Weekend at Bernie's so much
Fuuuuck.. i told myself i would never watch an unfinished series.. yet here i am.. waiting for part 4
It would be lovely to have a series on the Vietnam war!
I now have an image of a bunch of servants moving the mummies around like barbie dolls
This series is making my first time watching JoJo much more interesting...
Damn imagine being able to end a fucking empire with a sneeze. These people didn't have a chance.
I mean hosting parties for the dead seems really weird to us, but it's not really that different from how relics of saints were treated in medieval Europe. Of course, they didn't get to go to parties or own property, but they were venerated and consulted through prayer. They were even sometimes stored inside lookalike statues of the saint that were then brought out during festivals. Most cultures have regarded death as more of a transition than an ending.
This is actually really fucking interesting that cliffhanger ending man we need more
I love how the Incan empire managed postal logistics better back then than AusPost (australia post) now hahaha
Just my ridiculous excitement at hearing them talk about my home city. QUITO CARITA DE DIOS!

**jazz music stops**
Could You pls so a Video on The end of The Admiral Graf Spee
Almost exactly like the decimal and the currier system in the Mongol Empire
The Achaemenid Persians also had something similar. I guess there aren't that many ways to maintain an extensive bureaucracy over a vast empire with premodern supply and communications.
Was picturing some of the stuff you might find in the bible or whatever when you mentioned human sacrifices, and yet making it a classy and tidy ordeal like this made it feel even _worse_ to learn about somehow.
Can you make somthing on the Czeckoslovak Leaigion?
Mummified Incan: Even in death, I still serve my country and King.
More like "Even in death, my country still serves me."
If "Weekend at Bernie's" was a country. ;)
That intro really Oingos my Boingos!
I don't know how as a descendant of the Inca I didn't know about the mummies thanks for continuing to teach me about my ancient roots also Chicha is the freaking best!
The planned sequel to the newest mummy movie with Tom Cruise, was going to be about Incan mummies. Unfortunately the movie bombed and the sequel was cancelled. I thought Incan mummy movie had such potential, I'm disappointed it's never getting made.
And now I have "Dead Man's Party" by Oingo Boingo stuck in my head
The Incas were the inspiration for Weekend at Bernies
Is the idea of doing more Bismarck episodes still alive? :)
Great vid =D
Ps: Poor Llama ;-;
I literally just learned something that happened to the Inca’s in history class a few days ago.
oh yeah. it's all coming together
Could you guys maybe cover the three kingdoms period in chinese history? It’s already among the most epic of tales so it getting the extra credits treatment would be amazing.
