Extractions: PERU - History Archaeologically, Peru is the richest country in South America. Remains of archaeological sites are widely dispersed, especially in the coast and highlands. People from the world over are amazed by Machu Picchu. Peru is perhaps best known as the heart of the Inca Empire , but it was home to many diverse indigenous cultures long before the Incas arrived. The Incas conquered the Andean people and fostered among the most advanced of ancient American civilizations. Pre-Inca Inca Francisco Pizarro , the spanish conqueror, returned to Peru and took advantage of the situation. He captured, deceived and executed Atahualpa. Although, the Inca people resisted for nearly 40 years, Spaniards finally defeated and put and end to Inca Empire. Dive Deeper . . . . . . . . Geography People Climate Economy ... Home

Extractions: The Inquisition in 17th-Century Peru: Cases of Portuguese Judaizers The most serious business of the tribunal, in the line of its proper functions, was with the apostasy of the Jewish New Christians. From the very foundation of the colonies . . . restrictions were laid on the emigration of Conversos and a law of 1543, preserved in the Recopilacion, orders that search be made for all descendants of Jews who were to be rigorously expelled. In spite, however, of the jealous care observed to preserve the colonies from all danger of Jewish infection, the commercial attractions were so powerful that the New Christians eluded all precautions. At first, however, they occupied but a small portion of the energies of the tribunal. . . . The first appearance of Jews is in the auto of October 29, 1581, when Manuel Upez, a Portuguese, was reconciled with confiscation and perpetual prison, and Diego de la Rosa, described as a native of Quito, was required to abjure de levi and was exiled - showing that the evidence against him was very dubious. . . .

Extractions: At the time of the arrival of the first Europeans in the last years of the fifteenth century, the native population of the South America, was estimated to have numbered 10 to 15 million, more than half of whom lived in the the northern and central Andes and adjacent areas. The Indians whom the first European explorers, settlers, and conqueros encountered ranged culturally from extremely primitive nomads (Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego and Amazon Basin) to highly advanced communities of the Inca State (in present-day Peru, northern Chile and Ecuador and the Chibchas (of present-day Colombia). These societies of the Andes are believed to have had rural communities dependent on agriculture as early as 1000 B.C. For at least 300 years before the arrival of the first Europeans (Spaniards), most of the Peru (excluding the eastern lowlands) was the heart of the Inca Empire that extended from present-day Ecuador to central Chile. The area from which the empire developed was centered in the basins and valleys of Cuzco The Incas conquered the Andean people and fostered among the most advanced of ancient American civilizations. The Incas themselves developed a civilization and administration that in many respects was of a high order, although different in basic concepts from the civilizations that prevailed in the "Old World". The Inca Empire ended with the conquest of its heartland and Capital Cuzco (1531-1533) by the Spaniards under Francisco Pizarro. Lima was founded in 1535 and became the focal point of Spanish expansion and domination of western South America. It soon became the capital of the Viceroyalty of Peru, which until the mid-eighteenth century, extended from the Caribbean to La Plata (Argentina). During the seventeenth century Peru was the second most important producer of silver (for 20 years it was the largest producer). Indians who attempt to rebel or to evade exploitation and forced labor were executed. The establishment of the viceroyalties of New Granada (1739) in the north and La Plata (1776) in the south greatly reduced the extent and power of the colonial administration centered in Lima. Peru declared its independence in 1821, following an uprising by local European (Creole) inhabitants against the Spanish colonial rule, which came to an end only in late 1824. A long period of instability followed, during which the country was governed by a sucession of generals.

http://www.americatravelling.net/peru/nazca/nazca_history.htm

Extractions: Nazca - History 1000 BCE , the Nazca Valley was inhabited by a people who developed advanced farming methods that allowed them to build an irrigation system, improve their crops, and expand the area of land they could farm. Over the next 1,500 years, they also developed outstanding skills in weaving, pottery, and architecture. The Nazca were wiped out after the Spanish conquest, so that piece of history is quite blank. Perhaps the most fascinating of their cultural achievements was the creation of a remarkable ground art . The Nazca Peru flourished in Peru from about 200 AD to 800 AD before evidence of its existence was lost below the desert sands. Now, large numbers of Nazca graves have been uncovered by both grave robbers and archaeologists. In the fifteenth century, the Inca state expanded from the Cuzco Valley through conquest and assimilation of other cultures. It became the most powerful empire in the New World. But from the time of its expansion the remarkable Inca Empire lasted only around one century before it was destroyed by the Spanish conquest in the sixteenth century. The lines of Nazca are a variety of geometrical figures, trapezoids, triangles and lines, plus animal and bird figures of hummingbirds, a whale, a monkey, a spider (shown here), a bird likened to a pelican, another like a condor, and one called the astronaut. They range in size up to 1000 ft (300m) across and are about 2000 years old.

A silver alloy is used for crafting jewelry; the small addition of copper makes the silver stronger without affecting its color in any appreciable way. In nature, silver can be found pure or as part of more or less complex ores. Generally speaking, gold ores are always found in association with the silver. The Chimús (1200 to 1460 A.D.) had no direct access to gold or silver, but were able to obtain it by trading with highland peoples. They were the most accomplished metalworkers of ancient Peru, mastering a variety of techniques: pouring, refining, laminating, finishing and polishing, including filigree making. Artifacts of different kinds found at archeological sites attest to this. Later, during the Inca Empire, significant advances were made in these techniques.

Inca Empire The Inca, sometimes called peoples of the sun, were originally a warlike tribe living in a semiarid region of the southern sierra. From 1100 to 1300 the Inca moved north into the fertile Cusco Valley. From there they overran the neighboring lands. By 1500 the Inca Empire stretched from the Pacific Ocean east to the sources of the Paraguay and Amazon rivers and from the region of modern Quito in Ecuador south to the Maule River in Chile. This vast empire was a theocracy, organized along socialistic lines and ruled by an Inca, or emperor, who was worshiped as a divinity. Because the Inca realm contained extensive deposits of gold and silver, it became in the early 16th century a target of Spanish imperial ambitions in the Americas.

Extractions: History: The indigenous Inca civilisation of what is now Peru was conquered by Spain in the early 16th century. The city of Lima was founded in 1535 and became the effective capital of the vice-royalty of Peru, established seven years later. Spain ruled the country until the early 19th century, using the rich silver reserves to finance its costly imperialist struggles with France, England and The Netherlands. The wars of independence, which expelled the Spanish from virtually the entire South American continent, reached Peru in the early 1820s. After the 1821 declaration of independence, Peru was challenged by the royalists. The new Government appealed to the revolutionary leader Simon Bolivar for assistance. Arriving from Colombia, Bolivar defeated the royalists at the Battle of Ayacucho in December 1824, after which he became head of state. Relations between Peru and its neighbours were difficult in the early years of independence. There were border disputes with Brazil and Ecuador (which have not been settled to this day) but especially with Chile. The War of the Pacific, which broke out between Peru, supported by Bolivia, and Chile in 1879 ended after five years with a complete victory for Chile and the loss to Peru of some southern territories. Internal problems dominated the agenda for the next 30 years as a series of governments struggled to keep the economy, which was almost completely destroyed as a result of the Pacific War, from disintegrating.

Extractions: The Western World became aware of Peru when the Conquistador Francisco Pizarro confronted the Inca Atahualpa in the mountain town of Cajamarca in 1532. Since that encounter, the challenge has been to figure out what the mixture of cultures has produced. History seems to reside just under the Peruvian top soil. A good strong breeze can wipe away the sand and leave the burial sites and buried treasures exposed. A incident, like the Conquest, can be portrayed in popular consciousness as if it had just happened a few years ago. There are scores of reenactments of this encounter between Atahualpa and Pizarro all across Peru each year. But outsiders should avoid jumping to the conclusion that the Inca or other pre-Colombian cultures are somehow manifest in today's native Peruvians. The Indian woman selling trinkets in the market and her peers are survivors. They are the synthesis of multiple, conflicting cultural and ethnic currents. The vast majority want to join the modern world, not return to an idealized past glory. What is most challenging about understanding Peru's past is that we are continually learning more about what really happened and its meaning. Archaeology is turning up new finds. The Spanish archives in Seville are a treaure trove of information that is still being sifted through. Research in provincial archives and private papers are turning up new perspectives and raw accounts of daily life and major events. A greater comprehension of the unique natural environment allows investigators to see the interplay between man and nature in the Andes. It is a stimulating, creative and rewarding process.

Geographically, Peru encompasses an arid coastal desert, the rugged snow-capped peaks of the Andes, and steamy rainforests that form part of the vast Amazon basin.

Extractions: The bleak coast of southern Peru and the apparently barren desert sandwiched between the sea and the Andes mountains hold surprises. The cold ocean is rich with life and the Paracas area is a haven for birds and sea lions. And the desert holds enigmatic remains of pre-Inca cultures whose burial sites lay forgotten under the arid land for centuries before being discovered by archaeologists and grave robbers. Most remarkably, these people left the perplexing Nazca Lines that they drew into the desert surface for reasons we may never know... Despite the barren landscapes of this area of Peru, the coast of the Paracas Peninsula and the nearby Ballestas Islands are havens for marine life. The Ballestas Islands are alive with noisy colonies of sea lions and huge numbers of birds that are sustained by the food-rich waters of this stretch of the Pacific.
