From the first day Columbus set foot on the American continent, he was convinced of the righteous in his intrusion. His conviction was based on the support of the Spanish Majesties and declarations of Popes that non-Christians could be taken as slaves – even though the Spanish Queen Isabella opposed Indian slavery, so the strangers…

KRISTEN FORTOLKNING AF INDIANERE
Fra første dag Columbus satte foden på det amerikanske kontinent var han overbevist om det retfærdige i sin indtrængen. Hans overbevisning byggede på de spanske majestæters støtte og pavers erklæringer om at ikke-kristne måtte tages som slaver –selvom den spanske dronning Isabella modsatte sig indiansk slaveri, så de fremmede blev stemplet som vilde. Umiddelbart kan…
INDIAN FAITH VERSUS CHRISTIANITY
Both Christians, Aztecs and Incas envisioned a divine creation, but they had different notions of the time for the creation. From the Bible, Christians knew that the creation had lasted six days. Irish Archbishop James Ussher would argue rationally for the Bible and calculated the first day of creation to have been on Sunday, October…
INDIANERTRO VERSUS KRISTENTRO
Såvel kristne som aztekere og inkaer forestillede sig en guddommelig skabelse, men de tog udgangspunkt i forskellige skabelsestidspunkter. Ud fra Bibelen vidste kristne at skabelsen havde varet seks dage. Den irske ærkebiskop James Ussher ville argumentere rationelt for Bibelen og beregnede skabelsens første dag til at have været søndag den 23. oktober 4004 år før…
PERU: PACHACÚTECS PANACA AND THE SPLIT INHERITANCE
From his palace on the north-west side of the site, Pachacútec ruled when he was in Cusco. Also that was four-folded, delimited by the streets and with a single, small door opening so the access easily could be controlled. It was both his home and administrative headquarter. It was his panaca, and the residents were…
PERU: PACHACÚTECS PANACA OG DEN DELTE ARV
Fra sit palads på pladsens nordvestlige side regerede Pachacútec når han var i Cusco. Også det var firlænget, afgrænset af gaderne og med en enkelt, mindre døråbning så adgangen nemt kunne kontrolleres. Det var både hans bolig og administrative hovedkvarter; det var hans panaca, og beboerne var hans familie med tjenestefolk. Alle skulle have noget…
PERU: PACHACÚTECS CORONATION
Pachacútec left his father for returning to the victory parade in Cusco, and he was accompanied by his illegitimate brother Inca Urco. On the way a quarrel emerged in the backs between Inca Urcos and Pachacútecs warriors. Some argued that it was an ambush and that there was a fighting, but Pachacútec ignored the tumult….
PERU: PACHACÚTECS KRONING
Pachacútec forlod sin far for at vende tilbage til sejrsparaden i Cusco, og han blev ledsaget af sin ’uægteskabelige’ bror Inka Urco. På vejen opstod et skænderi i de bagerste geledder mellem Inka Urcos og Pachacútecs krigere. Nogle hævdede at der var tale om et bagholdsangreb og at der blev kæmpet, men Pachacútec ignorerede tumulten….
PERU: HE WHO OVERTURNS THE WORLD
Sarmiento described the decision of the 8th Sapa Inca: As Viracocha was now very old, he nominated as his successor his bastard son Inca Urco, without regard to the order of succession, because he was very fond of his mother. With the stamp bastard son, Sarmiento reminded his reader about what was fundamental for him:…
PERU: HAM DER VENDER OP OG NED PÅ VERDEN
Sarmiento beskrev den 8. sapa inkas beslutning: Da Inka Viracocha nu var meget gammel udnævnte han sin uægte søn Inka Urco som sin efterfølger uden at tage hensyn til reglerne for arvefølgen, for han var meget glad for drengens mor. Med stemplet uægte søn fik Sarmiento mindet sin læser om det for ham fundamentale: inkaers…
PERU: THE INCAS DEFENCE FOR ATTACKS
Sitting in Spain, Garcilaso wrote about his Indian ancestors: Since their earliest kings, who were imitated by their successors, they never waged war unless moved by causes that seemed to them sufficient, such as the need that the barbarians should be reduced to a human and civilized existence, or offences and injuries inflicted on their…
PERU: INKAERNES FORSVAR FOR ANGREB
Siddende i Spanien skrev Garcilaso om sine indianske forfædre: Siden de første konger, som inspirerede deres efterfølgere, blev der aldrig ført krig med mindre de af særlige grunde var nødt til det så som for at lære barbarerne en menneskelig og civiliseret levevis eller på grund af fornærmelser og beskadigelser forvoldt af uciviliserede naboer mod…
