Through a mix of crime-lab science, archeology and history this special presents stunning new evidence that is changing what we know about the final days of the once-mighty Inca Empire.
This probing story of archeological discovery begins in an ancient cemetery crammed with skeletons that offer tantalising clues about a fierce 16th-century battle between warriors of the collapsing Inca Empire and Spanish invaders.
Now, the long-accepted account of a swift Spanish conquest of the Inca – achieved with guns, steel and horses – is being replaced by a more complete story based on surprising new evidence.
The bold last stand of these lost warriors comes to life in The Great Inca Rebellion.
The largest empire in pre-Columbian America, the Inca ruled the most advanced civilisation in the New World.
By the time the Spanish arrived, the Inca had built the breathtaking city of Machu Picchu, pioneered a sophisticated system of high-altitude highways and forged luxurious treasures of gold.
So how could a tiny Spanish army of gold-seeking adventurers bring the powerful Inca Empire, home to over 10-million people, so quickly to its knees?
