    PACHACUTEC

    CREATOR OF THE GREAT INCA EMPIRE

    4 DE FEBRERO DEL 2020

    CREATOR OF THE GREAT INCA EMPIRE

    Pedro Antonio Llontop Pacheco

    My daily question begins with the generalization of the Quechua language as the
    official language of the empire, generalizing one of the most important contributions of
    the Incas to the Andean man; buildings and temples were also created throughout the
    empire. The chronicles are not clear with this information but they said: “this man was
    son of the sun” and he had by name Pachacutec.
    He was the creator of a great empire. He defended the Cusco. At that moment, when
    his father the Inca Huiracocha and the prince hi brother Urco left of the city, he stayed in
    Cusco for defend the city. He was between 20 and 23 years old, he was a warrior and he
    fought against the Chancas. Later, the people of Cuzco saw him as their king.

    So: Who was the Inca Pachacutec?

    Pachacutec was born in Cusco in the first decade of the XV century. His parents
    were Huiracocha and Mama Runtu, who named him Cusi Yupanqui. From young age, he
    showed aptitudes for the government and the conquests. However, he was relegated by
    Urco, a prince without merits. When the Chancas wanted to invade Cusco, Huiracocha
    and Urco fled. Cusi Yupanqui saved the city and later assumed the Inca government with
    the name of Pachacutec.

    The empire had three main measures that were: first the roads, as a geographical
    unit; second, the imposition of the RUNA SIMI, the official language; and, finally, to
    establish an administrative organization, which is directed towards a strong and absolute
    central power, achieving the unity of the empire. At the same time, keeping the empire
    together and total control. At the same time, he created an elite of people capable of
    supporting him in his work, the royal family was his team.

    Pachacutec also expanded the Cusco, where built the temples of Coricancha and
    Sacsayhuamán. He ordered the construction of the acllahuasi (house of the elect), the
    Poquencancha (historical museum) and the Sancayhuasi (prison). Outside Cusco, I have
    ordered the construction of cities, such as Ollantaytambo, Machupicchu, Vilcashuamán,
    Huaytara, Tambo Colorado and Huánucopampa.

    His works initiated in the capital also would extend them to the various regions of
    the empire. In all the Tahuantinsuyo also were built pucaras (military construction),
    temples and foods deposits, joining the most distant regions with wonderful roads and
    bridges. This work was carried out through the long reign of Pachacutec and was
    continued under the rule of his son Túpac and his grandson Huaina Capac; they followed
    the plan outlined by Cusi Yupanqui.

    Another aspect mentioned was the great respect he showed his ancestors; the
    construction of the temples, houses for the mummies of his ancestors was one of the steps
    that the Inca took by them, also they sung the life of first Inca, then the choirs answered,
    accompanied by drums.

    Other parties were not so solemn, they were cheerful meetings where young people
    danced, accompanied by drums and pincullos.

    To achieve dominance over such a vast territory, Pachacutec initiated the reform of
    the army and a thorough organization. Like any work undertaken by this Inca, there was
    no small detail that was not dealt with. The Inca examined its history, investigating and
    asking everything about the life of the previous Incas that formed the Capac Cuna or the
    history of the royal descendants. The information gathered was carefully preserved,
    ordering to illustrate the nemotic narratives with drawings, which were preserved in the
    temple of Puquin Cancha.
    After forty years of reign and Pachacutec having more than sixty years old, he decided to
    appoint his heir, at the same time that they ruled together.
    The choice of the Inca fell on Prince Amaru Topa Yupanqui, eldest son of Coya Mama
    Anarhuaque.
    In the arduous life of struggle and work of Pachacutec, during which his only thought was
    to achieve the formation of the empire, there was surely no room or time for deep and
    lasting affections. At the end of his life, however, a tender and sweet feeling flourished
    towards his grandson Huaina Capac.
    In full swing of the empire, Pachacutec surrounded by his own and still having in mind
    the last triumphs of his son, the Inca had a serious illness and feeling his end, he called
    his relatives and the main lords of the State, then directed them these words1:

    “Son! You see the many great nations that I leave you and you know how much work they
    cost me. Nobody raise their eyes against you, may they live; Even if they are your
    brothers. To these our relatives I leave you for parents, to advise you. Look for them, and
    they serve you. When I am dead, you will heal from my body and put it in my homes in
    Patallacta. You will make my lump of gold in the house of the Sun, and in all the provinces
    subject to me you will make the solemn sacrifices, and finally the Purucaya festival, so
    that the Sun will rest with my father.”
    They say that he began to sing in a low and sad tone in words of his language, which in
    Spanish sound2:
    "I was born as a lily in the garden, and thus I was raised, and as my age came, I grew
    old, and as I was to die, so I dried up and died." And when these words were over, he laid
    his head on the pillow and expired.

    CONCLUSIONS
    Recognizing Pachacutec in all the leader´s dimensions leaves me with the sensation of
    recreating an alternate world. What would the Inca Empire be like in the 21st century?
    I cannot fail to recognize the work of this emperor. The great emperors of the world
    should learn from his work; Pachacutec never stopped being a noble, nor did he stop being
    a son of the sun.
