Short documentary about about the South American native civilization and their contributions to the "new world". The Inca Civilizations was an aboriginal American Indian culture that evolved in the Andean region (western South America) prior to Spanish exploration and conquest in the 16th century. The pre-Columbian civilization was extraordinary in its developments of human society and culture, ranking with the early civilizations of Egypt, Mesopotamia. There are several myths about Pre-Inca Civilizations. As with all ancient civilizations, legends and ancient stone carvings and monuments speak of creation by gods who came from the skies, yet no one is certain how any of these civilizations came into being. Many just seem to spring up as if out of no where. There is a pre-Incan legend that speaks of Viracocha who is depicted in many forms. There is a duality about this deity, which is not unlike gods in other civilizations - the good god and the warrior side to his personality. We see him as he enlightened god in the white robes who brings knowledge and the warrior god with staves in his hands and a sun symbol around his head, not unlike the sun god Ra in ancient Egypt. As we third dimension is a duality - all things have good and evil charactistics - including the gods of all myths. Viracocha - as duality is depicted as the sun god of creation [wearing a sun crown] and the moon god. Viracocha, as the feathered serpent god, is one of the great mysteries of ancient American cultures. He was called Kukulkan by the Mayas, Quetzalcoatl by the Aztecs, Viracocha by the Incas, Gucumatz in central America, Votan in Palenque and Zamna in Izamal. As with nearly all ancient peoples, Inca legend claims that the original people were flood survivors who by hiding in a hollow up on a very high mountain peak, were saved and repopulated the Earth.

  • It's not south america either!

    america is what the white people called it.

    It's called the Inca Nation.(Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and parts of Chile and Arg.)

  • it is still important to use these "new world" names and terms for the youth caught up in the dreadful public education system where they only refer to such sacred people, places, and things by these misguiding names. by doing so they can more easily navigate through information in powerful learning tools like internet search engines as they make next step in learning the absolute truth.

  • Not Peruvian people!! You should say South American native civilization...The incas have covered extensive vast territories..

  • thanks for the correction wariruna4ever. i don't mean to be insulting or anything, just trying to spread knowledge with these videos all while learning more and more about the native peoples of the world.

  • @TrevorJ171615 The Kennewick man has already been proven by "white people" (HAHA!) to be the bones of a paleo-indian NOT a white man. Do your research moron. You're only native to Europe, stop claiming to own land that does not belong to you!

  • @wiseandcleverwords search up the kennewick man white people ARE the natives!

  • A truthful story about the distructive nature of the Spanish murderers who eslaved the peoples and stolled their wealth. Spain should be made to pay reparations to the peoples envolved. All spanish teasure belongs to the people of the region not to Spain or America or Florida !!!!!!!

  • It is what is, no more no less.
