They didn’t really. They stayed in and around the Andes for the most part and didn’t venture into the lowland jungles all that often.
exept not true at all, they had whole provinces in the amazon, the inca successor state after the Spanish invasion led to their far flung amazonian provinces
Pretty well, considering they didn't ritually sacrifice them unlike the *ztecs.
I'm pretty sure most if not all Aztec sacrifices came from prisoners they captured from the various wars with their neighbours, not random tribelings from a place they probably couldn't even fricking get to
The Aztecs had gotten into the Khannic wars. Or it can be said they were the Khannic arm of the Mayan civilization. The legend in North America is that the natives began fighting the Asian invaders. To an extent that most of North America is divided into 2 groups despite ethnicity. Mixed Chinese and Non-mixed. That’s it. To this day it can be seen in daily lives and interaction when one side wins tribal recognition over the other. The idea is one is a branch of the other but the other wants to be recognized as its sole tribe. The question becomes why when most tribal recognitions are limited to timed concession for displacement—they give another group with no concession recognition.
we wuz Chinese y'all
Really?
we gonna have this now?
Mayans, olmecs, caribbeans, arawaks, and all that shit (yes caribbeans were an indigenous tribe now extinct) were all cannibals just like the aztecs, they ended up destroying their own civilization and all amerindian tribes that weren't part of them hated them, to the point that mesoamerican indios were so fricking aggressive not even spaniards could deal with them, aztecs copied that shit mayan culture when they found the ruins of their civilization to larp as them like romans to greeks but shittier and full of moronation, it is impressive how a bunch of cannibal savages could build entire cities on top of a lake, austronesian blood comes from the second wave which both mayans and aztecs were, incas were turkic, from the first wave, although in the end all became austronesian turkic mutts
The majority of Mexica sacririces were enemy soldiers capturing during wars, yes, but not all.
Per recent findings at the main skull rack at Tenochtitlan in Mexico City, 75% of the skulls were men (most being of warrior age), with 20% being women and 5% being childern.
He didn't mean they were sacrificing people from the Amazon
Just about every single one of the aztecs' subjects had the same level of technology, architecture and social organization as the aztecs themselves though
The incans sacrificed children when the emperor was sick. Pic related is a 15 year old girl who was taken to the mountaintops of the Andes and was frozen to death, preserved in ice for hundreds of years.
>Did they make any attempt at civilizing them?
Important Inca cities like the ones in pic were erected in the Antisuyo, and there are many others still covered by trees.
The importance of the rainforest in the east of the Empire lies in the fact that its climate is suitable for the cultivation of coca, a highly appreciated commodity, also in its rivers rich in gold, among other things.
Well yeah but the case was different for the highland jungles.
>Well yeah but the case was different for the highland jungles.
meant for
Vilcabamba, for example, the neo-Inca capital, was located in the Amazon
Some of the men probably wandered down from time to time looking for jungle pussy if nothing else. I know I would have.
>Some of the men probably wandered down from time to time looking for jungle pussy if nothing else
A tradition preserved even to the present
Tell me moar please.
You know i find it strange to even argue who had a better military, I’d always leave southern cone out. The idea is that eastern Andeans and Amazonian plateau indigenous can be seen more in central and North America. Western Andean can’t. I leave Southern tip Indians out because when industrialization occurred everyone was charging them toll. So their more feasible outlook became seafaring. It was less costly and foreigners always treated them better.
The people in the Amazon were not as primitive as you think, they had cities and great farming complexes there, and the Inca rump state even held its capital there.
Why did they live in the mountains?
Was it autism?
Yes.
They were born there, and by the time the spanish arrived the Inca Empire had provinces in deserts and jungles and shit.
I bet the Inca Empire was kino af.
can anyone explain why the incas were so much more advanced compared to the rest of south america
There's plenty of other civilizations in the Andean region that cane before or were contemporaries of the Inca.
Look up the Chavin, Moche, Wari, Tiwanku, Sican, and Chimu, for starters.
let me rephrase, why were all the advanced civilizations in the Andes?
There were actually a fair amount of, I guess if you wanna call them "semi complex" sedentary cultures in the Amazon that built a lot of towns and irrigation works and earthenworks
but I don't know
They weren't. This myth that only Mesoamerica and the Andes had civilizations needs to stop.
they weren't, the Inca were just the only civilization in South America that fought Europeans instead of being annihilated by disease decades before contact
There wasn't. In recent years there has been growing evidence that there was a gigantic civilization (or multiple) native to the Amazon rain forest
pretty much
The Amazon rainforest had some pretty cool societies
