From the 2000 “Conquistadors” documentary by Michael Wood.
“Our father the Sun disclosed to us a long time ago that we should be twelve Incas, his own sons, to reign on this earth; and that then, new, hitherto unknown people would arrive; that they would obtain victory and subject all our kingdoms to their Empire, as well as many other lands. I think that the people who came recently by sea to our own shores are the ones referred to. They are strong, powerful men, who will outstrip you in everything.” – Inka Huayna Capac

Today is Lima’s anniversary: 477 years from the foundation of the city by Pizarro. Lots of parades and fun…sorry you will be missing it this year, but I am confident you will be here soon! If you are interested, you can read/watch a little bit here on a post we published today:

Oh I completely forgot, the reason I mentioned it was because your post is about the conquest of the Inca’s and today they are “celebrating” that conquest? haha Let’s not think about it and enjoy the music and good times.
