When the Spaniards arrived they threatened to destroy the Inca's idol. "Who do you worship?", they asked the Inca. "The Sun" the Inca replied. The Spaniards dissapointedly said "Oh". That same sun is represented in the Uruguayan and Argentinian flags. It is called El Sol De Mayo. The Peruvian currency is El Sol. El Sol is also incorporated into Peru's national anthem.

The Incas were such an incredible civilization. Absolutely fascinating how these people were advanced enough to have recorded heart surgery. The Inca trail connecting the empire and the use of mirrors to reflect sunlight for communication is just astounding. They were such an advanced group of people for the time period in so many aspects. It's unfortunate that their downfall was a result of primarily disease and to a lesser extent their lack of technology in weaponry, the only thing they were not advanced in. Such an amazing civilization that should be remembered and taught in all history classes worldwide forever.
Cool video Mason! I'd like to add that in comparison to other empires, the Incas also had another disadvantage, geography. They had no major rivers, the landscapes were very mountainous and as most settlement were in the interior lands, maritime trade routes were useless. If you compare them to the Roman Empire, that spread from the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, it's pretty stunning what this guys achieved.
No one on TH-cam is doing what you're doing. There are videos that have some great history but the vast and balanced overviews you do are so comprehensive. Love it

@Heimskur Forn Sidr'Asatrú Betzer EUROPEAN SPECIES tell that to the Mali, Assyrians, Inca, Aztec, Mississippians, Chinese Dynasties, Kongo Empire, all of the many Indian states, Great Zimbabwe, the Swahili Coast, Ethiopia, Japan, the Anasazi, the Haudenosaunee, literally almost anywhere else on Earth.
@Heimskur Forn Sidr'Asatrú Betzer EUROPEAN SPECIES what gives you of all people the qualification to call them "trash"? And I'm pretty sure Sumerians were that light skinned, more of a middle eastern hue of light brown typical of that latitude. And amount of melanin in skin is by no means a way to judge a civilization.
Was very fascinated when I went to Peru to learn that a lot of people outside the cities take great pride in their native heritage and refer to the old gods such as Pacha Mama before taking a drink in the evening, and a few of the ancient cities, such as Cusco, enjoy celebrations of Inti. Also how alive the Quecha language is in some places. I did my best to converse in Spanish with a resident of lake Titicaca, but alas both of us barely knew Spanish as she only really spoke Quecha. Wonderfully kind people in Peru who were very keen to teach us about their history and culture.
Could you do the Amazonian civilization? For most of recent history, it was thought that the Amazon was a virgin pristine wilderness, but recent discoveries made due to the rapid deforestation of the Amazon, have begun to rewrite history. There is evidence of geoglyphs and mounds, evidence for causeways and buildings, and a black soil called terra preta made from organic waste, matter, and charcoal, that was used to fertilize the thin, nutrient lacking soil of the rainforest. I'd love to see you talk about Amazonian people and the new revelations being made.
That has to be very recent findings because I've never heard of there being a civilization in the amazon region at any time, it is very well known that there were and still is amerindian tribes living in the forests, but no civilization that I know of
@@Refmoral just look up satellite images or terra preta, or even just Amazon Civilization, and you'll find multiple articles. The discoveries only go back a year or a few.
Nice that you finally did a video for the Incas! I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time and I’ve been interested in your content as far back as early last year. I’m myself am half Peruvian and I am 1/4 European(1/8 Scottish and 1/8 English,Wales,Irish etc.) and 1/4 Japanese.
So happy you did a video on this! Peru is so close to my heart My Norwegian Grandmother fled from the Nazis She found her husband and upon returning to Norway they decided it would not be the place to raise a family so they went back to america where my father was born and at 2 months old was put on a plane and together they flew to Peru working and living well of of the newly established fishing and canning industry put in by Starkist and in part my grandfathers mechanical engineering successfully living there until 1968 until the rise of nationalistic fervor under presidente Alvarado drove them out. It was a Sight to see my grandmother and her sons all talking in Norsk when they didnt want the children or there father to know what they were saying XD but thats not all! Then My grand father and father who were the only two to learn quechua as my grandmother didnt have the need since she knew spanish and my other uncles where too young; leaving the country both before 5 years old, as to where my father was in his teens. So when they wanted to talk in secret they would speak quechua and my grandmother would try to listen to the few que words she did know, to give her hint as to what they were saying. Oh Lord it was hilarious the linguistic chess matches i would hear from that long linoleum kitchen in San Pedro Ca my poor grand mother in her little scandanavian accent trying to switch the conversation "nooo nooo nooo" trying to get them to talk in spanish or Norsk so she knew what was going on that was a constant of my childhood, Norwegian culture and Peruvian culture were so prevelant in that household sadly its mostly been lost in all of my families homes except mine :) I have my grandfathers norsk lusekofte and my fathers knitt alpaca sweater he wore on the plane back to america as well as many more things but those two make me happy beyond belief. TLDR; culture is cool and doesnt always make sense
Drongo White people here use Hispanic and Latino for Languange and Culture, but for race... I don’t call myself Mestizo, I am White. I dont know any White Person in the Former “Gran Columbia” or “New Granada” region that calls themself Mestizo.
As a European I'm a bit puzzled why some people in the US seem to call Mexicans and Central Americans 'Hispanic' or 'Latino' but refer to themselves as 'white'. In Europe the Spanish are not considered to be separate or different from other Europeans.
Red Ice Hispanic means you speak the Spanish language. Latino means you are from Latin America. However, Latin America has White, Black, Mestizo, Mulato, and AmerIndian for Race. Mestizos are a mix of European and AmerIndian, so the more European blood you have, the whiter you will appear. There were also many different European colonies here, including German, so South America does not look brown like Mexico.
Modern Man, I’ve never heard of a “‘mestizo culture” in Peru as the video suggests. I’ve only heard it being used as a race. And no one ever says “Hispanic”.
Could you make a ethnic make up map like you did on the Americas just with the Middle East, North Africa and the horn of Africa just to show the diversity of these areas.
Well, the closest event to that was the Peruvian-Bolivian confederation of 1830. Although now two different nations Bolivia and Perú have traded, intermarried and sheed blood together the last two centuries. PD: Chile se la come :V
@@YusufRaul You can't considérate the unión between two Hispanic countries as a revival of a Native American one. The revolution of Túpac Amaru and the Rumi Maki movement were the ones who fought for such revival.
@Mateo Valenzuela everyone listen to this peruano! As a gringo living in Peru (which by the way is a wonderful wonderful country. I have no mixed feelings. They were evil. What happened to them? That's easy...conquistadors! And they are still here. Also things have changed here. It's true that in the past people who spoke quechua were ridiculed. But now El Peru is a much more enlightened place. They now teach the language here in Huancayo, and they are very proud of it.
อติรุจ Well you make it sound like being a rich white oligarch is worse thatn being a rich non-white oligarch. Colour of the skin does not matter, what matters is how those on top treat the rest of the population.
It's true that Quechua peoples were treated as second class citizens. But today it's a lot different, the white population of Peru is very educated and recognize that the "greatness" of the country is their andean cultures, Quechua people are not treated badly anymore, they can become as rich as they want and be proud of their heritage.
A lot of the Quechua discrimination came from the caste system of the colonization, but the discrimination was hightened after the independization from Spain. Because at least when we where colonies Spain had government entities that looked after the indigenous people's well being, and even some of them where nobles as the Spanish crown recognized the inca nobility as royalty. But when Peru became a republic, it all went away and the natives didn't had these protections anymore. So the criollos would abuse them as they pleased. It al changed in the early 1970's when the Dictatorship of Velasco exproriated the landlords of the criollos and gave it to the native people's once again. The balance of power was restored in this country
What’s wrong with having brown skin? Also not all of arabia is desert there s green landscape in an yemen and oman,deserts aren’t bad because they made a lot of poor contries rich,’ i don’t think there were beheading in pre islamic Arabia
Fun fact: before islam, Mecca was a religously diverse city with many religions such as Christianity, Judaism, paganism and Hinduism, and peole from all these religions deposited their idols in the Kabaa. Now, it along with Medina are the only cities in the world where people who are not of one religion are banned. Yay islam!
The majority or the Peruvian and Bolivian genomes are still Amerindian (as you mentioned). In addition though, many people in those countries still speak Quechua and Aymara, and practice many native traditions (many still worship native deities, etc). Native languages (mostly Quechua and Aymara) are spoken by large percentages of the population in Bolivia (43%) and a large part of Peru (esp. south Peru/the south-central Peru Andes where the Quechua were historically based and where a majority speaks Quechua today), and somewhat in parts of neighboring countries (and, as you mentioned, by about ten million people overall in the case of Quechua-and more than one million in the case of Aymara). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quechuan_languages en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Bolivia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Peru (esp. see second map of Quechua language rates) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Peru#/media/File:El_quechua_como_lengua_materna_(censo_naciona
At the start of the video he asked a question about the political impact or remnants of the Incan empire. And as a Bolivian it is very clear how skewed the government is toward the aymara and quechua populations of the west. The region of la paz and the capitol city of the same name is the center of aymara culture. The government favors aymayra over quechua regions. And definitely favors the Incan cultures over the Amazonian cultures both politically and socially

You should do the theory of TupacYupanqui traveling to Oceania and Melanesia, and it's believed that the Chimu civilization (north Peru) was the point in which the Inca started it's voyage, also that's where the Inca empire traded with the Mesoamerican peoples
Among the many feats attributed to Tupac Yupanqui was having reached the Galapagos Islands. That is what some experts such as Thor Heyerdahl claim as the indigenous pottery found on the islands suggest this. Also the fact that the Incas to perform such seafaring trips may have already mastered the coastal routes to Mesoamerica.
Actually it was mostly coastal Ecuador that traded with Costa Rica, Central America and western Mexico, that is how metallurgy spread into mesoamerica. I've never heard of incas trading with mesoamerica. They didn't really have any solid control in coastal Ecuador because it was not the climate zone they were used to.
1:44 That's just not true, the Mayans and the Aztecs had a writing system known as Maya Script, and the Aztecs had a writing system descend from Zapotec. Even the Olmecs had a writing script
Everyone on here is raving about how "amazing" the conquistadors were for conquering such a great empire in such a short period of time but nobody talks about how literally 75%+ of Incas died from foreign diseases (plus the civil war?) Hell, even *I* could have conquered the Inca empire under those conditions.
@@djdjrjrj9352 High IQ alert!! Just because someone isn't dead from a powerful disease doesn't mean they aren't somewhere between dead and healthy. Have you heard of sick??? Are you able to battle when you are close to death and barely survive?? ignorant piece of fecal matter
@@JoaoSantos-lj3jp Hi, are you aware that not every Inca solider was sick at that point? And even if ecery single Inca solider was sick, they still outnumbered the Spanish 10.000:1.
When you mentioned the Asian immigration, I was expecting you to talk about the possible precolombine contacts between Asian and Native American cultures( before the arrival of the European empires) or even the possible arrival of Tupac Inca Yupanqui to the Polynesia. Anyway, I enjoyed watching your video!
you should consider making a video about various central and south american civilizations and discussing whether the deadly traps such as ones we see in Indiana Jones actually ever existed in the American continent.
Great video I like that you are staying in line not jumping to far away out of line and staying in one continent until we get a good perspective. Great video again massaman
They're still around, either as Quechua, Aymara or Mestizos (partial Inca heritage). All the Peruvians I know look well over 50% indigenous. Yet oddly, haplogroup R1b is still the most common haplogroup in Peru. The indigenous halogroup Q is only the most common in Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador, and Aruba.
the Inti sun is actually also on the philippine flag all across the pacific ocean. if you look at original renditions of the philippine flag, the sun originally had a face on it. it just seemed a bit weird for us so we took it out but left the sun because the sun is nice looking.
That's pretty common (in many regions). The genome of Mexico is actually overall a bit more Amerindian than European (the video was wrong about that). Mexican Mestizos average about 55-60% Amerindian (less in the north, more in the south). The south and south central regions tend to be more native and the north more white. The majority of Mexicans are some kind of mestizo (in varying proportions of European vs Amerindian) and about 15-25% are full Native Indian (and identify as such), also with a small percent being fully European or nearly so (which is more common in northern Mexico). In Mexico as a whole, only about 10% speak native languages, but in the more Amerindian south (and some central) regions/states of the country, many more speak them. Many in south (and south central) Mexico speak native languages (like Mixtec, Zapotec, Nahuatl, Otomi, and Mayan): about 35-40% of the population in the state of Oaxaca, about 39% in Chiapas, 44% in Yucatan, 32% in Quintana Roo, 28% in Puebla, 20% in Guerrero. About 35% speak native languages in Guatemala (mostly Mayan dialects). Search "THE LINGUISTIC DIVERSITY OF MEXICO" By John P. Schmal or ("History of Mexico - Linguistic Diversity of Mexico" (which is the same page) (at houstonculture) and search: "History of Mexico - Nahuatl Language - Houston Institute for Culture" (at houstonculture) see: the Wikipedia for "Nahuatl" From Wikipedia's entry on "Mestizos in Mexico" under "autosomal studies": "A study made by the University College London which included the countries of Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Brazil, and was made with collaboration of each countries' antrophology and genetics institutes reported the genetic ancestry of Mexican Mestizos was 56% Native American, 37% European and 5% African making Mexico, after Peru, the country with the highest Amerindian ancestry out of the five sample populations. " "In 2011, an autosomal dna study was conducted in Mexico city, with 1,310 samples, showing the average proportion of Native American, European, and African ancestry for the population to be 64%, 32%, and 4% respectively. Additional autosomal dna studies conducted on people from Mexico city show a predominate Native American background, with Native American ancestry ranging from 61-69% in 5 different studies. The number of people sampled in these studies ranged from 66 to 984 people.[45][46][47][48][49] One outlier study showed a predominate European background for mestizos of Mexico City, showing 57% European ancestry, 40% Native American ancestry, and 3% African ancestry. The sample population for this study however, was only 19 people."
@@skellagyook No such thing as an Amerindian. Indigenous Europeans are called European, indigenous Africans are called African, indigenous Asians are called Asian but indigenous Americans can't be called just Americans?
@@maxodessky5990 Not sure if you're asking the OP or me but I do know. My first language is actually indigenous (Didjazaa) and my identity has always been indigenous. You may find the Guelaguetza an interesting event to look into. It's a sort of huge "pow wow" held annually for various indigenous communities.
It's always blown my mind how a couple of hundred people could literally destroy one of the largest countries of all time in such a short amount of time. Of course, there had been a civil war and disease and the Incas had bad technology but they still had an enormous numerical advantage
If you want to see a modern example of a large population being conquered by a smaller one, look no further than Europe, they're being EASILY conquered by Muslims 😂
I am Ecuadorian and very happy that you are talking about my region. Our Indians are alive, well, and thriving as the left leaning governments from the past decade were more willing to invest on infrastructure and education in their regions. Most of these Indians live in recondite mountain valleys, or in the very high altitude páramos. They were neglected for very long, which came as a blessing because it meant they got to preserve their culture. They tend to be very hardworking, frugal, tough, and servile. A very stereotypical feudal peasant culture if you ask me.
even in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia, the most pure amerindian live in the andes, (or sierra as it's called in Ecuador and Peru). if we take the genetics in andean cities, we could see more native american gens than the coast or amazonia of these three countries.
There was written languages in the Americas. Actually several, all in Mesoamerica. The Maya and Zapotec scripts are the most well most known, and there was other systems found along the gulf coast of Veracruz. The Inca may have not had a “writing system” as defined in western context but they had quipu which functioned as a way to record information of the nobility.
There was writing before the 1400's in the America's. The Mayans and the Aztecs had written language and there have been artifacts in North America marked with an indecipherable language of unknown origin. Maybe Mississippian or Hopewell or some other as yet unnamed tribe. It's just what they wrote wasn't histories. It was myths and lineages and achievements of the kings.
There are a few things you missed here. One, it is the opinion of many more recent archeologists that Quipu were actually a complex form of writing. The simplistic view that they were simply used to record numbers has been almost completely discarded.
I always wanted to know if the Mayas ans Aztecs had any knowledge about the existence of the Incans or if they ever did any trading among them. I wonder!
They knew the other existed, but they never had direct contact. The central American natives traded with both the Incas and the Mayans, so the Incas were able to obtain Mayan artifacts. I remember reading that they found Mayan pottery (I believe, I'm not sure if was that, or a metallic artifact) in the northern Inca Empire, which served as proof that there were trade routes between the civilizations. You can find that info online, but I don't remember where I read it.
The Maya have many other tribal migrations. The biblical MAGI. Mihouicans, mexicans, mohicans, mohawks, miwoks, meuwoks, .... The Aztecs were the biblical SADDUCCEES.
Some say they never contacted each other, but they certainly knew much more than we imagined. The cacao so valuable to the Aztecs originated in the Amazon region and the trade routes exchanged much more than just goods, they exchanged knowledge, culture and, of course, many ethnic groups knew, even if only a little, what was happening in other regions far from where they lived.
I do remember reading an article talking about there being trade routes between the two continents, possible sea trade even, but I can't remember where I found it though. I'm sure you'll find some things online no doubt there's new discoveries being done by archaeologists everyday so no doubt you might find something on the topic.
The last of the Inca tribe? or the whole inca empire (Tahuantinsuyu)? because the tahuantinsuyu descendants are alive today in the countries you mentioned (Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, even Chile). The Inca tribe, the nobility of the Tahuantinsuyu? They married the spanish, most of the Sapa inca bloodline traveled back to Spain and became part of spanish nobility.
Peruvian guy here. Quechua culture is pretty much alive and well in Peru and the Castizo-European Hispanic demographic ,of which i am part of, is almost a minority here with most of the country being made up of mestizos and native americans. The culture is very much alive with oral tradition and other cultural traits still present
His mother, who I think was a member of the Black Panther Party, named him like that not after the Inca but after Tupac Amaru II who was a revolutionary leader who led an uprise against the Spanish.
@Sono that might have been the case a couple of centuries ago. Nowadays however you won't find any slavery in European countries but in some Arab and African countries slavery is still commonplace. To have domestic slaves is common in the wealth Golf States Saudi Arabia, UAE etc.
I feel bad that the Inca empire ended. Of course all empires usually fall. I wish I knew what would happen if Spain didn't discover them. How would they evolve and grow?
Just a quick correction, there WAS writing in the Americas prior to the 1500s, but not in South America, Mesoamerica was one of the only regions in the world where writing was invented, matter of fact, writing was probably only invented twice in all of human history.
Yes. And even the story of written language is changing about South America. It's pretty interesting www.newscientist.com/article/mg23931972-600-we-thought-the-incas-couldnt-write-these-knots-change-everything/
The Incas sun is on the Argentina’s flag because part of the revolutionary movement was indigenous and the strips of light blue over withe are the colors of the house of Borbón (Spanish king remplace by Napoleon) Some pf the leaders of the revolution want to create a parliamentary monarchy with an Incas decent as a king
@ He enjoyed a high place in the hierarchy of the Viceroyalty of Peru, and the only way for this to happen was to belong to a direct Inca nobility lineage.
@ nah he had tons of lands and servants. He "came out of the mountains" because the borboun reforms pretty much fucked every landowner and in the Americas, Criollo or Native or Mestizo. So he rose against the new obligations
Inca was just a recent empire 600 years ago I believe..if you show the Pre Inca cultures (some they had more than 2000 years like Caraz.culture). Then you will see differente cultures in that region. And they spoke different languages. The Inca culture fought and conquest all of those cultures including the last final strong one The Chanqas. But they won and then they told everyones that the oficcial language was Qechua and that the capital will be Cuzco.

Since some people don't seem to get the joke: "Nan" (rhymes with "pan") is British slang for "grandmother". The Spanish name "Hernan" is not pronounced like "her nan" (some lady's grandmother). It's more like "air" that you breath plus "naan" the Indian bread. So Mason here saying "her nan Cortez" prompts me to ask "whose nan Cortez"? Not "who's" = "who is". "Whose", as in, "to whom is this Cortez person a nan?" Who is the "her" that has a nan named Cortez? Some British lady, with a Spanish grandma? And now, like a frog, dissection has killed this joke.
I heard some investigators believe the quipu was a type of 'writing' drawing meaning from the color, thickness and texture of the cord, as well as the type and placement of the knots upon it.
There is a big mistake here, Tupac Amaru II was never an Inca, in fact one of the many reasons he revolted was so the Spanish could recognize this title as the indigenous nobility from Cuzco didn't recognize him. Also, under the Translatio Imperii, the Spanish King is also an Inca.
No, modernisation happened. You either adapt and fight back or you will be forgotten by the time, that just how it is. And they were pretty savage themselves, so this wasn't a good vs bad fight.
Also, Deases was a main factor of how the europeans could conquert the americas. Amerindians just had shitty immune systems because they didn't live with animals for like thousands of years. So yeah.
theres a reason why native american empire native religions were always paranoid of the end of the world because in history their world was ended by the spaniards who conquered them lol
Also, more recently, views of the battle between Pizarro and the Incas have been revised to show that the vast majority of the 7,000 Inca killed in the first day of the battle were actually killed by rival indigenous powers.

And amount of melanin in skin is by no means a way to judge a civilization.
I thought we were from the vicinity of Aldebaran?
Was very fascinated when I went to Peru to learn that a lot of people outside the cities take great pride in their native heritage and refer to the old gods such as Pacha Mama before taking a drink in the evening, and a few of the ancient cities, such as Cusco, enjoy celebrations of Inti. Also how alive the Quecha language is in some places. I did my best to converse in Spanish with a resident of lake Titicaca, but alas both of us barely knew Spanish as she only really spoke Quecha.
Wonderfully kind people in Peru who were very keen to teach us about their history and culture.
Could you do the Amazonian civilization? For most of recent history, it was thought that the Amazon was a virgin pristine wilderness, but recent discoveries made due to the rapid deforestation of the Amazon, have begun to rewrite history. There is evidence of geoglyphs and mounds, evidence for causeways and buildings, and a black soil called terra preta made from organic waste, matter, and charcoal, that was used to fertilize the thin, nutrient lacking soil of the rainforest. I'd love to see you talk about Amazonian people and the new revelations being made.
That has to be very recent findings because I've never heard of there being a civilization in the amazon region at any time, it is very well known that there were and still is amerindian tribes living in the forests, but no civilization that I know of

Nice that you finally did a video for the Incas! I’ve been watching your videos for quite some time and I’ve been interested in your content as far back as early last year. I’m myself am half Peruvian and I am 1/4 European(1/8 Scottish and 1/8 English,Wales,Irish etc.) and 1/4 Japanese.
"Glorified Mountain Camels" would make an excellent band name
So happy you did a video on this! Peru is so close to my heart My Norwegian Grandmother fled from the Nazis She found her husband and upon returning to Norway they decided it would not be the place to raise a family so they went back to america where my father was born and at 2 months old was put on a plane and together they flew to Peru working and living well of of the newly established fishing and canning industry put in by Starkist and in part my grandfathers mechanical engineering successfully living there until 1968 until the rise of nationalistic fervor under presidente Alvarado drove them out. It was a Sight to see my grandmother and her sons all talking in Norsk when they didnt want the children or there father to know what they were saying XD but thats not all! Then My grand father and father who were the only two to learn quechua as my grandmother didnt have the need since she knew spanish and my other uncles where too young; leaving the country both before 5 years old, as to where my father was in his teens. So when they wanted to talk in secret they would speak quechua and my grandmother would try to listen to the few que words she did know, to give her hint as to what they were saying. Oh Lord it was hilarious the linguistic chess matches i would hear from that long linoleum kitchen in San Pedro Ca my poor grand mother in her little scandanavian accent trying to switch the conversation "nooo nooo nooo" trying to get them to talk in spanish or Norsk so she knew what was going on that was a constant of my childhood, Norwegian culture and Peruvian culture were so prevelant in that household sadly its mostly been lost in all of my families homes except mine :) I have my grandfathers norsk lusekofte and my fathers knitt alpaca sweater he wore on the plane back to america as well as many more things but those two make me happy beyond belief. TLDR; culture is cool and doesnt always make sense

wow interesting story
Beautiful childhood my friend.
So you are partly Norwegian and partly native American?
I suppose identifying as Mestizo as a Latin cultural identity and not a racial identity must be a regional thing. In Panama, we don’t do that.
The Modern Man why? What do you mean by that?
Drongo White people here use Hispanic and Latino for Languange and Culture, but for race... I don’t call myself Mestizo, I am White. I dont know any White Person in the Former “Gran Columbia” or “New Granada” region that calls themself Mestizo.
As a European I'm a bit puzzled why some people in the US seem to call Mexicans and Central Americans 'Hispanic' or 'Latino' but refer to themselves as 'white'. In Europe the Spanish are not considered to be separate or different from other Europeans.
Red Ice Hispanic means you speak the Spanish language. Latino means you are from Latin America. However, Latin America has White, Black, Mestizo, Mulato, and AmerIndian for Race. Mestizos are a mix of European and AmerIndian, so the more European blood you have, the whiter you will appear. There were also many different European colonies here, including German, so South America does not look brown like Mexico.
Modern Man, I’ve never heard of a “‘mestizo culture” in Peru as the video suggests. I’ve only heard it being used as a race. And no one ever says “Hispanic”.
Could you make a ethnic make up map like you did on the Americas just with the Middle East, North Africa and the horn of Africa just to show the diversity of these areas.

It is very sad what happened to them.
It's even sadder that Peru and Bolivia are ruled by upper class Whites and Mestizos. Quechua natives are shamed into abandoning thier identity
@Mateo Valenzuela everyone listen to this peruano! As a gringo living in Peru (which by the way is a wonderful wonderful country. I have no mixed feelings. They were evil. What happened to them? That's easy...conquistadors! And they are still here. Also things have changed here. It's true that in the past people who spoke quechua were ridiculed. But now El Peru is a much more enlightened place. They now teach the language here in Huancayo, and they are very proud of it.
อติรุจ Well you make it sound like being a rich white oligarch is worse thatn being a rich non-white oligarch. Colour of the skin does not matter, what matters is how those on top treat the rest of the population.
It's true that Quechua peoples were treated as second class citizens. But today it's a lot different, the white population of Peru is very educated and recognize that the "greatness" of the country is their andean cultures, Quechua people are not treated badly anymore, they can become as rich as they want and be proud of their heritage.
A lot of the Quechua discrimination came from the caste system of the colonization, but the discrimination was hightened after the independization from Spain. Because at least when we where colonies Spain had government entities that looked after the indigenous people's well being, and even some of them where nobles as the Spanish crown recognized the inca nobility as royalty. But when Peru became a republic, it all went away and the natives didn't had these protections anymore. So the criollos would abuse them as they pleased. It al changed in the early 1970's when the Dictatorship of Velasco exproriated the landlords of the criollos and gave it to the native people's once again. The balance of power was restored in this country

The majority or the Peruvian and Bolivian genomes are still Amerindian (as you mentioned). In addition though, many people in those countries still speak Quechua and Aymara, and practice many native traditions (many still worship native deities, etc). Native languages (mostly Quechua and Aymara) are spoken by large percentages of the population in Bolivia (43%) and a large part of Peru (esp. south Peru/the south-central Peru Andes where the Quechua were historically based and where a majority speaks Quechua today), and somewhat in parts of neighboring countries (and, as you mentioned, by about ten million people overall in the case of Quechua-and more than one million in the case of Aymara).

At the start of the video he asked a question about the political impact or remnants of the Incan empire. And as a Bolivian it is very clear how skewed the government is toward the aymara and quechua populations of the west. The region of la paz and the capitol city of the same name is the center of aymara culture. The government favors aymayra over quechua regions. And definitely favors the Incan cultures over the Amazonian cultures both politically and socially

6:53 That's Tupac Amaru II, an 18th century chieftain who claimed the title of Inca. The last Inca was Tupac Amru I who died in 1572
The ancient Central and South American kingdoms are utterly fascinating, it's a shame they aren't talked about more.
You should do the theory of TupacYupanqui traveling to Oceania and Melanesia, and it's believed that the Chimu civilization (north Peru) was the point in which the Inca started it's voyage, also that's where the Inca empire traded with the Mesoamerican peoples
facinating
Among the many feats attributed to Tupac Yupanqui was having reached the Galapagos Islands. That is what some experts such as Thor Heyerdahl claim as the indigenous pottery found on the islands suggest this. Also the fact that the Incas to perform such seafaring trips may have already mastered the coastal routes to Mesoamerica.
Actually it was mostly coastal Ecuador that traded with Costa Rica, Central America and western Mexico, that is how metallurgy spread into mesoamerica. I've never heard of incas trading with mesoamerica. They didn't really have any solid control in coastal Ecuador because it was not the climate zone they were used to.
1:44 That's just not true, the Mayans and the Aztecs had a writing system known as Maya Script, and the Aztecs had a writing system descend from Zapotec. Even the Olmecs had a writing script

They're still around, either as Quechua, Aymara or Mestizos (partial Inca heritage). All the Peruvians I know look well over 50% indigenous.

Nice video. Im Mexican and my AncestryDNA says im 60% Native American. 😎
Cool
That's pretty common (in many regions). The genome of Mexico is actually overall a bit more Amerindian than European (the video was wrong about that). Mexican Mestizos average about 55-60% Amerindian (less in the north, more in the south). The south and south central regions tend to be more native and the north more white. The majority of Mexicans are some kind of mestizo (in varying proportions of European vs Amerindian) and about 15-25% are full Native Indian (and identify as such), also with a small percent being fully European or nearly so (which is more common in northern Mexico).
In Mexico as a whole, only about 10% speak native languages, but in the more Amerindian south (and some central) regions/states of the country, many more speak them. Many in south (and south central) Mexico speak native languages (like Mixtec, Zapotec, Nahuatl, Otomi, and Mayan): about 35-40% of the population in the state of Oaxaca, about 39% in Chiapas, 44% in Yucatan, 32% in Quintana Roo, 28% in Puebla, 20% in Guerrero. About 35% speak native languages in Guatemala (mostly Mayan dialects).

From Wikipedia's entry on "Mestizos in Mexico" under "autosomal studies":
"A study made by the University College London which included the countries of Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Brazil, and was made with collaboration of each countries' antrophology and genetics institutes reported the genetic ancestry of Mexican Mestizos was 56% Native American, 37% European and 5% African making Mexico, after Peru, the country with the highest Amerindian ancestry out of the five sample populations. "
"In 2011, an autosomal dna study was conducted in Mexico city, with 1,310 samples, showing the average proportion of Native American, European, and African ancestry for the population to be 64%, 32%, and 4% respectively. Additional autosomal dna studies conducted on people from Mexico city show a predominate Native American background, with Native American ancestry ranging from 61-69% in 5 different studies. The number of people sampled in these studies ranged from 66 to 984 people.[45][46][47][48][49] One outlier study showed a predominate European background for mestizos of Mexico City, showing 57% European ancestry, 40% Native American ancestry, and 3% African ancestry. The sample population for this study however, was only 19 people."

It's always blown my mind how a couple of hundred people could literally destroy one of the largest countries of all time in such a short amount of time. Of course, there had been a civil war and disease and the Incas had bad technology but they still had an enormous numerical advantage

I am Ecuadorian and very happy that you are talking about my region. Our Indians are alive, well, and thriving as the left leaning governments from the past decade were more willing to invest on infrastructure and education in their regions.
Most of these Indians live in recondite mountain valleys, or in the very high altitude páramos. They were neglected for very long, which came as a blessing because it meant they got to preserve their culture.
They tend to be very hardworking, frugal, tough, and servile. A very stereotypical feudal peasant culture if you ask me.
Do a video on the Assyrians.
Awesome to see a video that mentions the Incas. Hope to see a video about that other great Andean culture that predates the Incas, Tiawanaku!
even in Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia, the most pure amerindian live in the andes, (or sierra as it's called in Ecuador and Peru). if we take the genetics in andean cities, we could see more native american gens than the coast or amazonia of these three countries.
there have been genetic studies that show that even mestizos in the coastal cities have mostly indigenous genes.
Actually the most pure live in the Amazon not the Andes. There still un-contacted people there
There was written languages in the Americas. Actually several, all in Mesoamerica. The Maya and Zapotec scripts are the most well most known, and there was other systems found along the gulf coast of Veracruz. The Inca may have not had a “writing system” as defined in western context but they had quipu which functioned as a way to record information of the nobility.
There was writing before the 1400's in the America's. The Mayans and the Aztecs had written language and there have been artifacts in North America marked with an indecipherable language of unknown origin. Maybe Mississippian or Hopewell or some other as yet unnamed tribe. It's just what they wrote wasn't histories. It was myths and lineages and achievements of the kings.
There are a few things you missed here. One, it is the opinion of many more recent archeologists that Quipu were actually a complex form of writing. The simplistic view that they were simply used to record numbers has been almost completely discarded.
I always wanted to know if the Mayas ans Aztecs had any knowledge about the existence of the Incans or if they ever did any trading among them. I wonder!
They knew the other existed, but they never had direct contact. The central American natives traded with both the Incas and the Mayans, so the Incas were able to obtain Mayan artifacts. I remember reading that they found Mayan pottery (I believe, I'm not sure if was that, or a metallic artifact) in the northern Inca Empire, which served as proof that there were trade routes between the civilizations. You can find that info online, but I don't remember where I read it.
The Maya have many other tribal migrations. The biblical MAGI. Mihouicans, mexicans, mohicans, mohawks, miwoks, meuwoks, .... The Aztecs were the biblical SADDUCCEES.
Some say they never contacted each other, but they certainly knew much more than we imagined. The cacao so valuable to the Aztecs originated in the Amazon region and the trade routes exchanged much more than just goods, they exchanged knowledge, culture and, of course, many ethnic groups knew, even if only a little, what was happening in other regions far from where they lived.
I do remember reading an article talking about there being trade routes between the two continents, possible sea trade even, but I can't remember where I found it though. I'm sure you'll find some things online no doubt there's new discoveries being done by archaeologists everyday so no doubt you might find something on the topic.
They had. They praised them as gods and even build golden sculptures with blue eyes.

The Inca tribe, the nobility of the Tahuantinsuyu? They married the spanish, most of the Sapa inca bloodline traveled back to Spain and became part of spanish nobility.

Tupac Shakur was mentioned 👌... I believe the American artist Tupac Shakur was actually named in hounur of the Inca leader Tupac.

I feel bad that the Inca empire ended. Of course all empires usually fall. I wish I knew what would happen if Spain didn't discover them. How would they evolve and grow?
Just a quick correction, there WAS writing in the Americas prior to the 1500s, but not in South America, Mesoamerica was one of the only regions in the world where writing was invented, matter of fact, writing was probably only invented twice in all of human history.
Yes. And even the story of written language is changing about South America. It's pretty interesting www.newscientist.com/article/mg23931972-600-we-thought-the-incas-couldnt-write-these-knots-change-everything/

Inca was just a recent empire 600 years ago I believe..if you show the Pre Inca cultures (some they had more than 2000 years like Caraz.culture). Then you will see differente cultures in that region. And they spoke different languages.
The Inca culture fought and conquest all of those cultures including the last final strong one The Chanqas. But they won and then they told everyones that the oficcial language was Qechua and that the capital will be Cuzco.

Horrible video, factual errors.
whose nan Cortez? some British lady has a Spanish grandma?
Yes but his name is pronounced "err-non", not "her nan".
Since some people don't seem to get the joke:
"Nan" (rhymes with "pan") is British slang for "grandmother".
The Spanish name "Hernan" is not pronounced like "her nan" (some lady's grandmother). It's more like "air" that you breath plus "naan" the Indian bread.
So Mason here saying "her nan Cortez" prompts me to ask "whose nan Cortez"?
Not "who's" = "who is". "Whose", as in, "to whom is this Cortez person a nan?" Who is the "her" that has a nan named Cortez? Some British lady, with a Spanish grandma?
And now, like a frog, dissection has killed this joke.

There is a big mistake here, Tupac Amaru II was never an Inca, in fact one of the many reasons he revolted was so the Spanish could recognize this title as the indigenous nobility from Cuzco didn't recognize him. Also, under the Translatio Imperii, the Spanish King is also an Inca.
You should have called it a "smallpox epidemic", not a "small-pock" epidemic, at 5:45.
He's a moron if you analyze his "facts."
What about the Nazca indians? Are the Nazca related to the Incans?
No, they are not. They are a different culture who, I think, was almost extinct when the Incas conquered their region.

Quality content ✨
Who knew Tupac was an Inca emperor
Yes tupac was a musician, actor ... and Inca emporer! Very talented indeed !
Subscribed love your videos and very accurate ...
No, not accurate for the most part. If you were familiar with all American cultures you would know that many details in this video are incorrect.
Spanish men, that's what happened.
God's chosen spreading his word unto all the heathen.
No, modernisation happened. You either adapt and fight back or you will be forgotten by the time, that just how it is. And they were pretty savage themselves, so this wasn't a good vs bad fight.
NO ! Spanish rabid CATHOLIC nazis
Spanish are not white they are brown
Also, Deases was a main factor of how the europeans could conquert the americas. Amerindians just had shitty immune systems because they didn't live with animals for like thousands of years. So yeah.
I'm fascinated by the maya Inca and Aztec and have watched many videos on the 3 civilizations I learned wow a few new things today well done
It's amazing how quickly the Incas were conquered
theres a reason why native american empire native religions were always paranoid of the end of the world because in history their world was ended by the spaniards who conquered them lol
Not amazing at all. Bad ass European gangstas took them suckas out like real Gs is s'pposed to do.
@J M agreed
@@xXxSkyViperxXx but why were they paranoid about the end of the world before the Spanish arrived? That doesn't sound very convincing.
It actually took about 75 years for the Spaniards to conquer the whole country.
Also, more recently, views of the battle between Pizarro and the Incas have been revised to show that the vast majority of the 7,000 Inca killed in the first day of the battle were actually killed by rival indigenous powers.
Spaniards happened to them.
@@davidschultz1562 Yeaaah, Spaniards were so polite and decided to rely on biological warfare alone. Come on, this world is not a disneyland, especially when it comes to Americas.
@@AgoraphobicNews I didn't defend the Spaniards. I simply stated the fact that almost all of the native Incas died from foreign disease, all of which were brought there via the Spaniards.
Agoraphobic News Spanish riddled with diseases happened to them.
Please make a video about Ecuador!!!!
