"Primer Nueva Crónica: Un Glimpse into the Inca Empire and Spanish Cruelty" Step back in time to witness the reign of Tupac Yupanqui, the tenth Inca ruler of Peru. As we delve into the Primer Nueva Crónica, a vivid tapestry of historical events unfolds before our eyes. In 1583, we find ourselves amidst Incan farmers diligently planting corn with the aid of an Andean footplow. The ancient agricultural techniques employed by these skilled individuals showcase their deep connection with nature and their land. However, not all is idyllic in this era. The dark shadow of Spanish cruelty looms over the Incas. A Spanish judge imposes severe punishments on them, leaving us appalled at their heartlessness. Even more distressing is witnessing a Spanish monk abusing an elderly Incan woman as she stands defenseless against his aggression. Yet amidst this darkness, glimpses of light emerge - such as when an Inca captain offers a libation to the sun during their worship ceremonies. This act symbolizes their unwavering devotion to their beliefs and traditions. Tragically, instances of brutality persist within this narrative. We witness a Spanish official ordering the hanging of an Incan chief for failing to meet expectations set by those who seek control over these lands. Amidst all these power struggles and acts of violence, we catch sight of an Incan king seated upon his majestic throne surrounded by members of his council - a reminder that even in tumultuous times, leadership endures. The Primer Nueva Crónica also introduces us to various facets of daily life within this empire - from observing an Inca warrior being carried into battle on a litter to encountering an Inca shepherd tending to his loyal llamas. Our hearts ache as we witness yet another instance where Spanish nobility inflicts pain upon innocent souls.
