Adventure & Knowledge - In the Empire of the Incas

The Incas, the legendary Indian people who created the largest South American empire of all time during their brief reign, still fascinate us today with their mystical past, their radiant and powerful culture and their rapid and tragic downfall at the hands of the Spanish conquerors. Who were these Incas, who claimed to be sons of the sun? Where did they come from, how did they live, what was their religion, the mysterious sun cult, all about and how were they able to manage their vast land? As the Incas had no script of their own, the records are incomplete and contradictory. Oliver Elia's exciting feature traces the life of the Incas and the conquest by the Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro on the basis of Indian and Spanish chroniclers. Exciting adventure feature with original interviews, music and sounds.
