Today I'm taking you to the Inca Empire! And after listening, I encourage you to try audiobooks :) Link to the proposal from BookBeat (today's episode partner) for you - my listeners - I cordially invite you! ????????! https://www.bookbeat.com/pl/podcasthi... Today I have the great pleasure of inviting you on a journey of great proportions! We are immersing ourselves in the world of the Incas and their relationship with nature, stars and gods! We will wander from myths of origin, through society and culture, to incredible engineering achievements such as Machu Picchu or the network of roads that connected the vast empire. We will explore the daily life of the Incas, their agricultural and family practices, as well as medicine, astronomy, architecture (including Machu Picchu) and their art, the Quechua language and the unique writing system - quipu (kipu). There will also be stories about the brave Warriors of the Sun, their organization, recruitment and war tactics. But that's not all. This episode is not just the story of a fallen ruler or a conquered empire. In the second part of the episode, we will witness the events that led to the fall of this great empire - from the meeting of two worlds and the age of geographical discovery, through the unfortunate chain of events such as the smallpox epidemic and the War of the Two Brothers, to the decisive battles and consequences of the conquest by the Spanish and Francisco Pizarro. We analyze how it was possible for such a powerful empire to fall to a small number of conquistadors, examining their tactics, weaponry and the use of allies. And finally, we will reflect on the legacy of the Incas and the impact of their culture on the modern world. I invite you to travel through time - let's discover how an empire that stretched for thousands of kilometers shaped the history of South America! This is the story of the Inca Empire.
