Peak of the Incan Empire

For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. The book “Peruvian polygonal masonry: how, who, when and what for” (114 pp., Litres, Moscow, 2024) has been published. The book is freely available at Litres (to download, a registration is only required).

so they were communists? nice.

Megaliths are pre Incan.

It sounds like an early form of communism.

The labour thing is just like Age of Empires

With the way the government controlled the production and distribution of goods, it’s almost like Incan society was an early form of communism lmao

That opening though 🤣

So basically, what you're saying is, the Inca are empirical proof that communism does actually work?

"British historian Philip Fernandez"

Wait....

What fascinating stuff. Too bad their empire couldn't last longer.

All your documentaries are very professionally-made! The content is concise but very engaging and the animated images add so much to the narrative!

ja ja ja

Spanish conquer the great empire of aztecs and Inca but they never conquer the igorot tribe and the northern mountainous area in the Philippines for over 300 years of staying.

so basically they built a communist empire but with zombies ?

Incredible that they accomplished all this without a writing system

Had no idea how co-operative their society was. Take note humanity - this is how it could be done ...

this sounds really communist

The ancient communists.

Megalithic stonework is pre-Inca.

Wow! A market free society with public distribution system and mandatory social participation... This seems to be a practical role model state for Marxists (except aspects like class system and religion)

incredible!

If they didn’t care as much for the dead and Spanish didn’t arrive they would’ve lasted forever

Oh my god they’re communists that worship the dead

Great job!

Able body men then came in Kane

Soviet socialist inca empire :)

I guess many would agree to this kind of "Socialism" ie work and contribute and get the goods and not you work and give me money for nothing

Nice video from a native of Cuzco, Peru!

Oh I didn’t know the Inca were communists lol

So the Incans are quite simmilar to Ancient Egypt.

Corpses engaged in politics long after their death. I thought this was about the Inca not current American voters.

COOL!

based proto-socialist incas

Yooo, please do ancient Egypt, it is very underrated

Very nice

They had a very interesting society.
Proves that pple can live as one without money.

I am always fascinated by how the hell people figured this stuff out. I mean someone at some point had to figure out that stones retain heat and layering stone over sand over soil retained water efficiently. How does one even figure that out?

Communists: makes a theory about a system of government where the state would distribute the wealth and resources of the nation evenly according to the needs of the people

Incan Empire: have actually been putting a similar system into practice hundreds of years before the birth of Marx

Other Farmers: My harvest
Inca Farmers: OUR harvest

Comrade Stalin would be proud.

I found it interesting how the Inca Empire was able to become prosperous in their agriculture as well as their architecture in such an unfavorable climate and landscape. I also found it interesting how people in need, such as the elders, the sick, and others were able to gain help from others in order to survive.

Marxism should be called incanism

NICE VIDEO
BUT THE INCAS DIDN'T BUILT ANY OF THE MEGALITHIC STRUCTURES .
ESPECIALLY MACHU PICCHU

First communists lol

👍🏻

The peak of it remained hard for mainly Europeans And Mestizos to conquer the Incas did not make as much enemies like The Aztecs did

I believed the Incas made a successfully planned economy that contributed to the social wealth in Incan society. They adapted to the Andres Mountains really well, using the resources they found efficiently. Lastly, having collective labor as their way of paying taxes seemed like a fair system to me.

I think it’s interesting how their taxes were paid in labor. They’re delivery system is very interesting as well. It’s crazy how things were delivered so fast with chasquis and tambos. It makes sense though. When at Machu Pichu, I noticed that they also had terraces but they didn’t have crops or anything. It was just grass.
