But it is not clear where they were before that. The Inca did not have a writing system. So, we have to rely on their creation myths [Citation 1]. The Inca passed down these creation myths from generation to the next orally. According to one of these creation myths, they were created by their sun god. He then sent his four sons and four daughters to lead them. But eventually only one of these four sons, Ayar Manco, lived, and founded the Inca civilization. He led the Inca to Cusco, where they settled around 1200 AD.  Cusco, the place where the Inca settled, was located at the focal point of two previous empires. So, the Inca used their infrastructure to expand rapidly.  The Inca first started their expansion under their fourth emperor Mayta Capac. But their expansion really started to gather speed, under their ninth emperor Cusi Inca Yupanqui, also known as Pachacuti. Under his rule, the Inca Empire expanded rapidly. Pachacuti changed the form of governing, by implementing the system of Tawantinsuyu.  Inca government Under this system, the capital city Cusco was at the center of the Empire. This is where the Inca emperor lived. It was surrounded by four Suyus on four sides (See picture below). Each Suyu was further divided into provinces and each of these provinces were further subdivided into Ayllus. Ayllu is a collection of families, which, in effect, acted as a single large family.  Inca social structure While the Inca Empire was regionally divided as explained above, it was socially divided into four classes:1. Sapa Inca - the Inca emperor2. Royalty - The Sapa Inca's family and relatives3. Nobility - People who helped run the empire, like high priests, military officers, artisans, architects, and local leaders. 4. Commoners - Farmers, shephers, and slaves.  Thus by using a good governing system and a strict social hierarchy, the Inca emperor was able to rule the empire easily. Factors that contributed to the Inca Empire's expansion There were several factors that contributed to the rapid growth of the Inca Empire into the largest empire in the world at that time. Some of these factors were: 1. Efficient road system [Citation 2] 2. Superior farming system 3. Expertise in architecture 4. Religious tolerance The downfall of the Inca Empire Thus, the Inca Empire was prospering greatly in the 16th century. But everything changed suddenly, when the Spanish arrived in Central America. The diseases they spread, reached South America, even before the Spanish reached there. So, many Incas died. The Inca Emperor, and his crown prince were among them. So, left without an emperor, the Inca Empire was in chaos. A civil war started, many people died, and five years later, a leader emerged. But he was tricked by the Spanish, arrested, [Citation 3] and eventually killed (See painting below). Without a strong leader to lead them anymore, the Inca Empire slowly disintegrated, and ended in the year 1572.

In this part of our biography podcast, we look at one of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas who rose to power quickly as the dominant force in Central America - The Aztecs Read our blog post Would you rather read about the Aztecs? Click here: Aztecs. If the link doesn't work, copy and paste this URL into your browser - https://wisuru.com/history/aztecs/ Summary The Aztec Empire - Origin, Expansion, & Downfall Nobody knows where the Aztecs came from. But there is an Aztec legend [Citation1] which is mentioned in Crónica Mexicayotl [Citation 2]. This legend sheds some insight into where the Aztecs came from. According to this story, the Aztecs were nomads who originally lived in a mythical place called Aztlan, in Northern Mexico. Even the name Aztec comes from Aztecah, which means people from Aztlan. One day, one of their gods asked them to move south, because that's where their real home was. So, they started migrating South. He also asked them to change their name to Mexica and they did so. Thus, the Aztecs became Mexica. Then, he told them to look for a sign - an eagle sitting on a cactus fruit. If they found this sign, they should settle there. The Mexica searched far and wide, and found this sign near Lake Texcoco. So, they established their city there in 1325 AD. This city would come to be known as Tenochtitlán, the powerful Mexica city. But Tenochtitlán was initially not so strong even though the Mexica were ferocious warriors. So, for they served as mercenaries for 50 years. Then they served as the tributary of Azcapotzalco for another 50 years. When everything was going fine for the Mexica, suddenly, things took a turn for the worse. The ruler of Azcapotzalco died. So, his sons started a power struggle among themselves. In their squabble, they killed the Mexica king, considering him a threat to the throne. So, his uncle Itzcoatl, who was elected to be the next Mexica king, decided to seek revenge on Azcapotzalco. So he formed an alliance with Tlacopan and Texcoco, two nearby cities which were also wronged by Azcapotzalco. Together, they defeated Azcapotzalco and killed its princes. After the war, these three cities expanded rapidly and their alliance gave rise to the Aztec Empire. They subjugated other smaller cities in the area by conquering them or forcing them to surrender and pay tributes. Thus, the Aztec empire grew in size every day. But with increasing size came increasing instability, because the Aztec Empire expanded by bullying other smaller cities. The biggest problem was its lack of a system to integrate new cities into the Empire. So, the cities that were under the Aztec Empire were always looking for a chance to rebel. Hernán Cortés, a Spanish invader, utilized this instability of the Aztec Empire to gather an army consisting of Native American soldiers belonging to these rebel cities, and defeated Tenochtitlán. Thus, the Aztec Empire fell, and in the place of Tenochtitlán, the Spanish raised a new city, which later came to be known as Mexico city. Aztec society The Aztec people were divided into different classes [Citation 3]. Different people in the Aztec society are listed below in terms of the decreasing order of their power in the empire. The Aztec king and his family - Top of the hierarchy The kings of individual cities Nobles Commoners Slaves Religion The Aztecs prayed to many gods. They believed that they had to sacrifice humans to nourish their gods. They considered it both their duty and obligation to do so. The sacrificed person could go directly where their god lives, and fight in his army. So, people might have considered being sacrificed as an honor and volunteered. But many people who were sacrificed were only slaves.  The nobles in the Aztec society might have also eaten the corpses of the people who were sacrificed [Citation 4], thinking that it will get them closer to their gods. They might have also sacrificed children to their rain god, believing that their tears would bring them rain [Citation 5].

In this part of our biography podcast, we look at one of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas - The Mayas. Read our blog post Would you rather read about the Maya? Read it here: Maya. If the link doesn't work, copy and paste this URL into your browser - https://wisuru.com/history/the-maya/ Summary The earliest Maya settlements in North America date back to 1800BC [Citation 1]. At that time, they were just a bunch of farmers. But they expanded continuously for the next 2000 years. As a result, by the year 250AD, there were several powerful Maya cities.  The Maya were very religious people. According to them, the gods needed nourishment. So, they offered human blood and human sacrifices to them.  Each of these cities was ruled by a king. The king was at the center of the Maya culture. He was the political, religious, and military head of the country. All the people other than the king fell into one of these three classes - the upper, middle, and lower classes. While the Maya were socially divided into three classes, their empire was regionally divided into several city-states. Each of these city-states had a king. But people in these city-states were not politically united. They did not share a common identity either. But these cities thrived greatly until the ninth century. Then, in the ninth century, these cities were deserted by their own people. The reason for that could be one or a combination of more than one of the below factors: Overexploitation of resources made the soil infertile Constant wars [Citation 2] Severe drought A rigid social structure made responding to natural disasters and wars difficult But regardless of the reason, the Maya cities were abandoned. As a result, when the Spanish came to these places, all they saw were the remnants of what was once a great empire. Finally, this episode ends by discussing some fun facts/common myths about the Maya people, in the below order. 1. Where did the Maya get their name from? 2. Why did the Maya make human sacrifices? [Citation 3] 3. Did the Maya really sacrifice the losers of their ball game, Ulama? [Citation 4 & Citation 5] 4. Did the Maya really predict that the world would end on December 21st, 2012?   Citations https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-americas/maya https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023/A:1007813518630 https://www.worldhistory.org/Maya_Civilization/ https://cdn.vanderbilt.edu/vu-wp0/wp-content/uploads/sites/99/2017/06/09204236/The-Maya-Ball-Game.pdf https://www.livescience.com/65611-how-to-play-maya-ballgame.html Resources An illustration of the Maya Social class - http://www.historyshistories.com/maya-society.html An illustration of the Maya Ball game - https://santacruzarchitect.wordpress.com/2013/11/17/the-architecture-of-the-mayan-ballgame/ Donation link Do you like our work and want to donate to us?

In this part of our biography podcast, find out about the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, whom Christopher Columbus met. We will first find out who the ancestors of these Indigenous Peoples were. Then, we will proceed to find out how these Indigenous People lived. Read our blog post Would you rather read about the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas? Read it here: 1. The Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. If the link doesn't work, copy and paste this URL into your browser - https://wisuru.com/history/the-indigenous-peoples-of-the-americas/ 2. The Caribs and the Arawaks. If the link doesn't work, copy and paste this URL into your browser - https://wisuru.com/history/caribs-and-arawaks/ Summary The first humans came to the Americas through the Bering bridge, which is also known as Beringia. Since the global temperature at that time was 8°C lower [Citation 1] than it is today, and a lot of water was in the form of ice, Beringia was not covered by water. So, people came to this Beringia, 24,000 years ago [Citation 2] & [Citation 3], because it offered them better chances of survival [citation 4]. They stayed there for around 10,000 years or lesser and then moved to the Americas [Citation 5]. These people were the ancestors of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas. Caribbean Islands Two Indigenous Peoples lived in the Caribbean during the time of Columbus' arrival. They were the Lokono and the Kalinaga. Lokono [Citation 6] Friendly people who loved peace Lived by fishing, hunting, and farming Each man had around two to three wives Cacique, the leader, had around 30 wives They lived in big houses. Around 100 people lived in each house Had weapons like poisoned arrows, spears with fish hooks on one end Kalinaga [Citation 7] Fierce people who loved war and fighting Lived by fishing, hunting, and farming Men lived together in one big house where they trained Women lived in many smaller houses Trained their children from a very early age for warfare Had weapons like poisoned arrows, burning arrows, etc. When Christopher Columbus first came to the Caribbean, he met the Lokono. Then, he sailed further south and met the Kalinaga. He called the Lokono as Arawaks and Kalinaga as Caribs. The Caribs had a custom of eating human flesh to acquire the characteristics of the person who died. It was a ritual for them. They used this ritual before going to a battle and when they trained children. But they did not eat human flesh like for the taste or pleasure of it. But Columbus used their custom to spread the rumor that they were cannibals. So, he was able to acquire Queen Isabella's permission to capture the Caribs. Christopher Columbus used the queen's permission as an excuse to capture Caribs and Arawaks and use them as slaves. In the years that followed, most of the Caribs and Arawaks died not only due to abuse and inhuman working conditions, but also due to the diseases brought by the Spanish.

In this part of our biography podcast, find out about what territories Christopher Columbus discovered, which people he met, and what atrocities he committed. Listen to the biography of Christopher Columbus now. Read our blog post Would you rather read his biography? Read it here: History of Christopher Columbus. If the link doesn't work, copy and paste this URL into your browser - https://wisuru.com/biography/history-of-christopher-columbus/ Summary Christopher Columbus makes a lucrative deal with the Spanish monarchs to retain a part of the wealth he would procure from the areas he would discover. They also promised to appoint him as the governor of the areas he would discover, and declare him an Admiral of the ocean. First Voyage So, Columbus sets sail for the first time with 3 ships. After sailing for 5 weeks, he lands in the Bahamas. He meets the Arawaks and the Caribs there. After observing them, he decides that Arawaks are weak and can be easily enslaved. He also notices that these people wear gold ornaments. So, he thinks that there should be reserves of gold there. So, he establishes a small settlement there, and returns to Spain, to bring more people. This settlement is named La Navidad. (A map of his voyages can be found below) Second voyage Vasco da Gama and the other Portuguese explorers hadn't reached India yet. So, when Columbus returns to Spain, Europeans think that he had landed in the Indies, which is how Asian countries like India and China were called back then. So, with the support of the Spanish monarchs, he gathers more ships and more men than his first voyage and sets sail. After he reaches La Navidad and finds it destroyed, Columbus establishes a second settlement there. Then, he captures the Arawaks and starts ruling over them. He commands them to find gold for him. If any Arawak fails to provide his share of gold, Columbus cuts off his limbs. Thus, after establishing his tyrannic rule, he returns to Spain. This reminds me of my state in India, called Tamil Nadu, where I was born. People in my state are proud of their hospitality. In rural areas even now, you can find houses with Thinnai (see picture below), a raised platform outside the house. A Thinnai was meant to be a traveler's resting place. Any traveler can come and rest here. Since Tamil people are very hospitable, they give travelers anything they ask for. But a bad traveler who sits in the Thinnai can ask for a place to sleep inside the house. If you let the traveler sleep inside the house for one night, he would want to have the entire house for himself. Even though this sounds ridiculous, this is exactly what the Spanish did to the Arawaks. Third voyage When he returns to the Americas on his third voyage, he finds the settlers and the Arawaks revolting against him. So, he awards them horrific punishments without even conducting a trial (Citation 1). When even that doesn't end the revolt, he stops ruling the entire place by himself. Instead, he decentralizes the power and lets individual Spanish settlers rule over Arawaks. Even though the Arawaks rejoice due to the change in administration, the reality doesn't change much for them. Their new Spanish masters award the same horrific punishments to them. I can understand why Columbus awarded horrific punishments by dismembering the Arawaks. But why would the Spanish settlers do the same too? Were most Europeans at that time sadists, or was there a reason for their actions? To find out, I take a look at the Stanford prison experiment. Unable to cope with the atrocities committed by their Spanish masters, many Arawaks commit suicide. Some of them burn the crops, hoping that it will cause drought and kill the settlers. As a result, the Arawaks' population declines exponentially (Citation 2). By this time, the news of Columbus's failure in effectively ruling the newly discovered regions reaches the Spanish monarchy, and they send him a ship to arrest him and bring him back. After he was brought back to Spain, he is imprisoned for 6 weeks. After that, he is released, and his wealth is restored. But he loses the support of the Spanish Monarchy, due to his poor administrative skills. Fourth & Final voyage Columbus somehow manages to convince the Spanish monarchs to fund his journey for the fourth time. The Spanish monarchy accepts his request but appoints a new governor. Columbus' fourth voyage is uneventful, because he spends most of his voyage in Jamaica, shipwrecked. The new governor doesn't like Columbus, and hence, tries his level best to prevent Columbus from being rescued. But eventually, Columbus and his men get help and return to Spain. Two years later, Columbus dies due to Reactive Arthritis (Citation 3).

In this part of our biography podcast, find out about why people set sail in the 15th century. Listen to the biography of Christopher Columbus now. Summary of this episode Christopher Colombus' early life Christopher Columbus' father, Domenico Colombo, was born in a port city in Italy in 1418. He worked multiple jobs, like being a wool weaver, cheesemaker, wine dealer, and tavern keeper. In 1445, he married a woman called Susanna Fontanarossa. The first of their five children, Christophoro Colombo, was born in 1451.  Christopher Columbus' early life is not well-documented. So, we don't know much about his childhood. But we do know that he set sail at the age of ten. He sailed for fifteen years until his ship sank. Christopher, however, managed to reach Lisbon, a port city in Portugal.  Portugal turned out to be a turning point for him because he learned several languages there. Then, he joined Prince Henry's School of Navigation to study navigation (According to Citation 1). He also got married in Portugal. Portuguese explorers sail east to reach the Indies At the time Christopher Columbus lived, people were scared of sailing because many ships sank into the sea. People held various superstitious beliefs as to why these ships sank. But two technological inventions of the 15th century and the sponsors from Prince Henry of Portugal encouraged many people to abandon their illogical fears and start sailing. The primary goal of all these sailors was only one thing - to find a sea route to the Indies. The Indies was the name the Europeans had given to the spice islands of Asia (including India and China). They also had two secondary goals - to loot the gold and silver from the unknown lands they discovered and spread Christianity.  Under the sponsor of Prince Henry, these Portuguese explorers sailed along the West coast of Africa to reach Asia. But until the late 1480s, they didn't reach the southern tip of Africa. (As we know today), reaching Asia would still take a long time. A map of the route taken by these explorers and their progress can be seen below: Columbus sails west to reach the Indies People at that time already knew that the earth was spherical. So, they knew that they could reach the Indies by sailing West. But most people thought that it would take significantly longer to do so when compared to sailing East. But Christopher Columbus believed the opposite. He believed that sailing West would be faster. The map of the Atlantic ocean, which he received in 1481, confirmed his beliefs. You can find a copy of the map is attached below. Note that the map almost completely leaves out the American continent because people at that time did not know the existence of such a continent.  So, in 1484, Christopher Columbus, who also wanted to get rich by finding a route to the Indies (According to Citation 2), met Portugal's king to propose sailing West. But the Portuguese king rejected his proposal because his experts warned him that Christopher Columbus had wrongly calculated the distance to the Indies.  So, Christopher Columbus met Castille's queen Isabella I, to ask for help. At that time, Isabella I was ruling almost the entirety of present-day Spain, along with her husband, King Ferdinand II of Aragon. Castille had previously lost a naval battle against Portugal. Since then, Portugal started dominating the waters near Africa. So, sailing East to the Indies meant that Castille had to fight another naval battle against Portugal and win it. So, to avoid this situation, Isabella I decided to sponsor Christopher Columbus, even though her experts warned her that Christopher Columbus had falsely estimated the distance to the Indies.  Therefore, in 1492, after making a lucrative deal with Isabella I, Christopher Columbus set sail Westward. After sailing for five weeks, he reached the Bahamas.  What happened after that? Find out in our next episode. You can also read our detailed blog post here - History of Christopher Columbus.
