Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I submerged myself among old books and found this character called Huascar. He is a character whose role history books never mention much. I came to look for a place and return it to its history. I embodied myself in it; I intermixed with his people; I learned their language; I learned their culture. Though Im part of their culture, I taught them the progress of my time in the future. I helped them to organize the tribe. I taught them to make weapons and to be benevolent, to take care of one another. He fell in love with a woman who mistook him as her old love for his enormous physical resemblance, a love that she called Huascar. Knowing the events of the future, Huascar assembled an army to deal with a group of tyrants commanded by a ruthless man named Francisco Pizarro. He had arrived from the other side of the world. Huascar had a brother who wuld be in danger, and Huascar decided to save him. Not only that, he wnted to save the land that saw him be born and thus avoid the scourge of poverty plaguing their land in the future. But there was no time to deal with them yet. Th ey had not yet arrived at its territory. So he decided to give knowledge to the tribe that housed it. It was also thanks to the help of his two old friends who shared adventures with him. Sorry, I meant them three as his mascot called Nio would also share with their adventures. The daily life with his tribe does make him love his people. He felt happy being with them, so much so that he had no intentions of returning to his life in the future. Luck was not on their side. The brother, who was trying to defend from the invaders, upon learning that he was back, changed plans and tried to ask for help from the invaders. The man called Huascar did not have much time and hurried to travel through lands dominated by his older brother, Atahualpa. Not only that, he also went through the lands overrun by invaders of many sites in Europe. Huascar didnt have much time, and he hurried to save his brother. He wanted to save the life of Atahualpa. He wanted to save the life of the last of the Inca.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in the 1950s, this is a classic account of the discovery in 1911 of the lost city of Machu Picchu. In 1911 Hiram Bingham, a pre-historian with a love of exotic destinations, set out to Peru in search of the legendary city of Vilcabamba, capital city of the last Inca ruler, Manco Inca. With a combination of doggedness and good fortune he stumbled on the perfectly preserved ruins of Machu Picchu perched on a cloud-capped ledge 2000 feet above the torrent of the Urubamba River. The buildings were of white granite, exquisitely carved blocks each higher than a man. Bingham had not, as it turned out, found Vilcabamba, but he had nevertheless made an astonishing and memorable discovery, which he describes in his bestselling book LOST CITY OF THE INCAS.

Book excerpt: 2011 Reprint of 1961 Edition. Many social scientists have attempted to lump the unique Inca society into modern political and economic categories. Louis Baudin argued that Incan society was socialistic. He claimed that the ayllu system is what classified the Inca as a system of state socialism. Baudin defines state socialism as being based on the idea of the regulative action of a central power in social relations. According to Baudin, the idea of private property in Europe had been in existence for centuries, but no such idea existed at the times of the Incas. He claims, that society in Peru rested on a foundation of collective ownership which, to a certain extent, facilitated its establishment, because the effacement of the individual within a group prepared him to allow himself to be absorbed. Baudin argued that the higher ranking Incas tried, and succeeded to an extent, to force a degree of uniformity on the common Inca. The Inca were forced to dress similarly, eat the same food, practice the same religion, and speak the same language, Quechua.
