LauraTimmisPot of the Day – Inca Urpu (c. 15th Century) Although similar in style and function to the amphorae of ancient Greece, the urpu has a distinctive Inca shape, with its low handles, tall neck, and bulbous body. Rather than being strapped into ships like the amphorae, these vessels would have had ropes slung through the handles, around the lug at the base of the neck, and then strapped onto a porter’s back for transportation. They would have contained a variety food and beverages, most commonly chicha (fermented corn beer). Most urpu bottles are decorated with this distinctive polychrome geometric design - black and red on a cream-colored background. It’s rare to find any kind of representational motifs on these pots; however, some examples have been shown to include khipu designs which is very intriguing!

Ancient OriginsAO THROWBACK - Specialists have long argued over the Inca’s origins as two conflicting creation myths provide details of two distant places. But now, two scientists have settled this long-standing argument after testing DNA from modern-day descendants of Inca emperors. <a href="https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-evolution-human-origins/creation-myths-facts-ancient-origins-0010120" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-evolution-human-origins/creation-myths-facts-ancient-origins-0010120</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ancient" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ancient</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AncientOrigins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AncientOrigins</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/historymatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#historymatters</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/historyfacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#historyfacts</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/historylovers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#historylovers</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/archaeology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archaeology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mythology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Inca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Inca</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DNA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DNA</a>

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History May 18, 1781: Tupac Amaru II was drawn and quartered in Plaza Mayor del Cuzco, Peru. Tupac II had led a large indigenous uprising against the Spanish conquistadors. As a result of his heroic efforts, he became an inspiration to others in the fight for indigenous rights and against colonialism. The uprising began because of “reforms” by the colonial administration that increased taxes and labor demands on both indigenous and creole populations. However, there was also an ongoing desire to overthrow European rule and restore the pre-conquest Incan empire. And though this would merely replace one feudal power with another, there were also Jacobin and proto-communist elements to the rebellion. Most of the Tupamarista soldiers were poor peasants, artisans and women who saw the uprising as an opportunity to create an egalitarian society, without the cast and class divisions of either the Spanish or Incan feudal systems.The uprising began with the execution of Spanish colonial Governor Antonio de Arriaga by his own slave, Antonio Oblitas. Tupac Amaru II then made a proclamation claiming to be fighting against the abuses of Spain and for the peace and well-being of Indians, mestizos, mambos, native-born whites and blacks. They then proceeded to march toward Cuzco, killing Spaniards and looting their properties. Everywhere they went, they overthrew the Spanish authority. Tupac’s wife, Michaela Bastidas commanded a battalion of insurgents. Many claimed she was more daring and a superior strategist than her husband.However, despite their strength and courage, the rebels failed to take Cuzco. The Spaniards brought in reinforcements from Lima. Many creoles abandoned the Inca army and joined the Spanish, fearing for their own safety after seeing the wanton slaughter of Spanish civilians. In the end, Tupac was betrayed by two of his officers and handed over to the Spanish. However, before they killed him, the Spanish forced him to watch them execute his wife, eldest son, uncle, brother-in-law, and several of his captains. They cut out both his wife’s and son’s tongue before hanging them.As a result of Tupac’s leadership and success against the Spanish, he became a mythical figure in the Peruvian struggle for independence and in the indigenous rights movement. The Tupamaros revolutionary movement in Uruguay (1960s-1970s) took their name from him. As did the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary guerrilla group, in Peru, and the Venezuelan Marxist political party Tupamaro. American rapper, Tupac Amaru Shakur, was also named after him. Chilean poet, Pablo Neruda, wrote a poem called “Tupac Amaru (1781).” And Clive Cussler’s book, “Inca Gold,” has a villain who claims to be descended from the revolutionary leader.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/tupac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tupac</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#indigenous</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uprising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uprising</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#colonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#genocide</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/inca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#inca</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/peru" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#peru</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/torture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#torture</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#poetry</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#novel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstadon</a>

fiona and marcIn Ollantaytambo, we visited Pinkuylluna, an archaeological Inca site, built on a nearly vertical rocky mountain. Pinkuylluna was used by the Incas as a storage facility for agricultural products and other goods. The path to the ruins was really super steep. Luckily, at least the breathing at the altitude no longer bothered us, as we had already acclimatized for a while. The view down to the town of Ollantaytambo, into the valley towards Machu Picchu, and to the opposite main ruin site and terraces of Ollantaytambo was extremely impressive. —> 17 📸 photos in this post <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ollantaytambo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ollantaytambo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sacredvalley?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#sacredvalley</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/peru?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#peru</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/inca?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#inca</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/archaeologicalsite?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#archaeologicalsite</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/travelphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#travelphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/naturephotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#naturephotography</a>
