As an 18th century rich kid in Spanish-controlled Peru, Tupac Amaru II has it made. He's descended from Incan royalty, the money and perks are flowing, and he's set to inherit a powerful position working for the colonizers. But when he realizes that his privilege is built on the backs of his own people, Tupac decides it's time for a change: if the system doesn't work for everyone, then it doesn't work for anyone. And if he can't change it – then he's ready to burn it all down.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 224-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,318 on turnover of $6.3-billion N-T. The market bucked a regional downward trend on Thursday and moved higher, as investors shrugged off a decline on Wall Street overnight caused by concerns that U-S Federal Reserve may not deliver interest rates cuts by September. Turnover also bounced back (恢復) from the decline seen during the previous session - as investor concerns over U-S tariff polices on Taiwan appeared to weaken.

According to the ministry, the "We TAIWAN" cultural program is designed to partner with and make the most of the 2025 World Expo. The ministry says teams that left for Osaka last week have been setting up exhibitions (展覽) and rehearsing for the program - and the main "We TAIWAN" visual display has been set-up at the Grand Green Osaka venue. The first event of the program will be an exhibition of 50 picture books by Taiwanese writers and illustrators. The show will also feature elements from Taiwan's Indigenous Peoples, local folklore, daily life, as well as Taiwan's food culture, religions, arts and natural scenery (自然風光). The "We TAIWAN" program features 38 groups of artists from Taiwan and Japan who will put on a total of 129 performances from August 2 through 20.

It was the first publicly known arrest under the city's national security law. Local media outlets report former pro-democracy lawmaker Au Kam San is the suspect. Police said Thursday the 68-year-old Macao resident with the surname Au allegedly colluded (串通;勾結;) with an anti-China group outside of the city and provided false and seditious materials for public display online or abroad. He also is accused of maintaining long-term contact with multiple anti-China entities outside of Macao and repeatedly providing unfounded information to them or their media outlets for dissemination. Peru PreIncan Tombs Discovered Utility workers in Peru's capital have discovered two pre-Incan tombs while expanding underground gas networks. One tomb was empty, but the other contained remains about 1,000 years old, along with clay and pumpkin shell vessels (容器, 器皿). Archaeologists say the vessels' (容器, 器皿) design links them to the pre-Incan Chancay culture. Lima, a city with over 400 archaeological sites, often reveals such finds during construction projects. The company responsible for the gas network has made over 2,200 discoveries in two decades. That was the I.C.R.T.

In the land of the Condor, near the base of the tallest mountain in the Western hemisphere, an Incan community lived. The people hunted, along the sheer hillsides, they farmed, they collected water from the river gushing from snowmelt. They had children, built families, and passed on traditions to generations of descendants.The land was cold, inhospitable, but their village grew and their community thrived at the far Southern reaches of the vast Incan empire, in present-day Argentina. Today, centuries have passed, the people are gone, but the stones and dirt that made their homes remain. The stories and language of their ancestors have been lost to time. But their spirits remain. And the ruins remember.This is episode 60 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Tim's back after a battle with Covid that took him out had for two days and took his sense of smell for a week. Rough.We re-hash the NA story from last week about it being not-so-healthy. We didn't think it was, but maybe some folks thought the absence of alcohol made it a health drink. I think it's just more bad press from the haters.In our Style Profile series Nate breaks down the Italian Pilsner for us and we turn to ChatGPT to get the exact scoop in the difference between German, Czech, and Italian Pilsners.We discuss our drinking habits across the seasons and whether not they change. Although we all said not really I think it changes up a bit just due to the availability of beers. Like the big and beautiful stouts of Winter.In other news the Incans may have been powered by beer and even tossed in some hallucinogenics for the fun of it, big retailers share their predictions for Summer beverage trends, beer in bed, and the Giants are giving fans FREE BEER.

For hundreds of years, the Spanish banned the Incan Festival of the Sun—the Andean New Year. But since the middle of the 20th century, Inti Raymi has been back. Today, communities, cities, towns and even universities hold Inti Raymi celebrations. They make offerings, light fires and incense. They say prayers to Pachamama and Inti, the sun. They sing and dance. And it's not just a celebration. It is an act of resistance.This is episode 50 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Q'eswachaka is the last Incan rope bridge. It's located down in a valley in the Andes mountains of Peru. And in early June, the residents of four Quechua communities hold a three-day-long festival, where they rebuild the bridge from scratch.This is not just a task to be done, but an ancestral ceremony. A means of holding on to their traditions and the story—resisting modernity and the passage of time, by preserving this piece of their history and their culture.The bridge itself is a symbol of the community's connection to their past, to their ancestors, to the next generations, to the land… and to Mother Earth. This is episode 48 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

At the height of the Incan empire, a series of 200 woven suspension bridges crisscrossed the valleys of the Andes. Today, only one remains. It's called the Q'eswachaka, and it's rewoven every year by a continuous line of bridge builders.  Journalist Eliot Stein traveled to Peru to meet the current bridge builder, and to witness this incredible tradition. His book, Custodians of Wonder, chronicles traditions like these across the globe, and the people preserving them.  Plus: Listen to our episode all about the the world's rarest pasta, or “threads of god.”

For millennia, chili peppers have been at the heart of the Americas - long before Columbus set sail, before the Aztecs built their empire, and before the Incas wove them into myth. Originating in what is now Peru and Bolivia, these fiery pods were among the first crops cultivated by humans, shaping the diets, medicine, and rituals of entire civilizations.From the wild “tolerated weeds” of early foragers to the carefully cultivated varieties prized by the Maya and Aztecs, chiles were far more than a seasoning - they were power, tribute, and even punishment. In Incan lore, Brother Chile Pepper was woven into creation myths, while Aztec markets overflowed with dozens of varieties, traded and taxed like gold. When Columbus finally arrived in the Caribbean, he wasn't discovering chiles - he was stumbling upon a centuries-old tradition that had already conquered the New World.Join John and Patrick as they trace the ancient roots of the chile pepper, exploring its sacred role in pre-Columbian societies, its legendary place in Aztec and Incan mythology, and the fateful moment it first crossed the Atlantic. But this is just the beginning - because once Columbus carried chiles back to Spain, their journey was only getting started.----------In Sponsorship with Cornell University: Dyson Cornell SC Johnson College of Business-----------Join the History of Fresh Produce Club for ad-free listening, bonus episodes, book discounts and access to an exclusive chatroom community.Support us!Share this episode with your friendsGive a 5-star ratingWrite a review -----------Subscribe to our biweekly newsletter here for extra stories related to recent episodes, book recommendations, a sneak peek of upcoming episodes and more.-----------Instagram, TikTok, Threads:@historyoffreshproduceEmail: historyoffreshproduce@gmail.com

Tamara is just back from a bucket list trip to Peru with her daughter and she shares all about her lodge-to-lodge trek with Mountain Lodges of Peru and tips for visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Tamara “won” this trip as part of an auction that benefits the Adventure Travel Conservation Fundthat takes place each fall When visiting Cusco and the Sacred Valley, it is best to give yourself 3-4 days to get used to the elevation prior to hiking (Cusco is at about 11,000 feet) You can take Diamox or acetazolamide (prescription) to help prevent altitude sickness Coca tea and coca candies help you with altitude but it also has caffeine so it can disrupt your sleep Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo are at a lower altitude so ideal you would start there and work your way up Peruvian food has a lot of rice, quinoa, and potatoes. For proteins there is beef, pork, chicken, alpaca, and a specialty — guinea pig! The portions are also very large. You shouldn't drink the water (even to brush your teeth) and consider avoiding salads, veggies, and fruits that are rinsed in water Tamara and Hannah took a 5 day trek with a small group of six people and one local guide with Mountain Lodges of Peru. The trip was perfect for those that like to hike but don't want to camp. It includes a mix of cultural activities and hikes but you stay at nice lodges. Some activities included visiting an alpaca museum, a ceremony with an Incan priest, enjoying dancing and music with locals at a weaving cooperative, visiting local markets, exploring Incan ruins, and having lunch at local homes. You need to bring your own hiking poles and need to pack in a light duffel bag or backpack The rainy season is typically November – April and they typically close the Inca Trail in February. However, this year was worse than usual because of El Niño. For the most part you can use credit cards but it helps to have some Peruvian Soles (or some US Dollars) to tip guides, pay for bathrooms, and purchase from local vendors and markets. For the first two nights in Cusco, we stayed at the Andenes Hotel, which was affordable, nice, and great traditional architecture. On our return, we stayed at the Palacio del Inka, which is a part of the Marriott Luxury Collection (which we booked via points.) RELATED EPISODES: Machu Picchu with kids Galapagos with kids

But, until recently, barely anyone outside the nutritious seed's ancient's homeland—the Peruvian and Bolivian Andes—had ever heard of it. This week, we're telling the story of how a gorgeous spinach-like plant traditionally grown in a remote, high-altitude region of South America was transformed into one of the hottest foods on the shelves at Whole Foods. This is a tale that began with Coloradan hippies, the deliberate invention of a new Peruvian gastronomy, and beer, but truly took off when the United Nations declared that this so-called "superfood" was the secret to solving global hunger, adapting to climate change, and rescuing Andean farmers from poverty. So, did quinoa deliver? Listen in now for the story behind your next Buddha bowl. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In the Season 4 finale of The Spiritual Rabbit Hole, we journey through the mythologies of the Mayans, Aztecs, and Incas—civilizations rich with divine legends, celestial wisdom, and powerful rituals. From creation myths and sacred deities to epic stories of heroism and sacrifice, we explore how these ancient beliefs shaped their societies and continue to influence modern spirituality. Join us as we uncover the connections between these mythologies and the natural world, discuss their lasting cultural impact, and reflect on what we can learn from their enduring wisdom.As we close out this season, we're also gearing up for an exciting new theme!

This week, as we continue our look at pulp-heroes as part of our annual "Fantasy February", we're taking a look at the pulp hero who arguably started it all. The character who influenced everyone from Superman to The Shadow. This week we're looking at Doc Savage! More to the point, we're looking at the 1975 movie, Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze! In the film, which takes in the 1930's, Doc Savage (played by Ron Ely) and his five adventuring companions are drawn into the mystery of Doc's father disappearing in the wilds of South America. The maniacal Captain Seas tries to thwart them at every turn as they travel to the country of Hidalgo to investigate Doc's father's death and uncover a vast horde of Incan gold.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of ‘Discover Daily', we explore groundbreaking developments across technology and space. OpenAI unveils its first comprehensive rebrand, introducing a refined blossom logo, custom OpenAI Sans typeface, and a nature-inspired color palette under the leadership of their design team. We also delve into Apple's exciting ELEGNT project, a revolutionary lamp-like robotic companion prototype that could hit markets by 2027.Our main story focuses on an astronomical breakthrough that's reshaping our understanding of the universe. The Quipu superstructure, discovered by Dr. Hans Böhringer and his team at the Max Planck Institute, spans an astounding 1.3 billion light-years and contains 200 quadrillion solar masses. This cosmic giant is part of a newly identified group of five superstructures that collectively house nearly half of all known galaxy clusters in their observed region. The massive discovery challenges existing cosmological models and could revolutionize our understanding of dark matter, gravity, and universal structure formation. Named after the ancient Incan record-keeping system, Quipu's vast size and complex shape are forcing scientists to reconsider theories about how matter clusters at the largest scales, potentially leading to groundbreaking revisions in our understanding of cosmic evolution and structure formation.From Perplexity's Discover Feed: https://www.perplexity.ai/page/openai-rebrands-olNMmsxrR2e8pTl74GelVA https://www.perplexity.ai/page/apple-prototypes-tabletop-robo-B0ohlEMNRXei655eYqfigg https://www.perplexity.ai/page/largest-structure-in-universe-kX97crgVQuKyHnGt6dR4MQ Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Where would our species be without string? It's one of our most basic technologies—so basic that it's easy to overlook. But humans have used string—and its cousins rope, yarn, cordage, thread, etc.—for all kinds of purposes, stretching back tens of thousands of years. We've used it for knots and textiles and fishing nets and carrier bags and bow-strings and record-keeping devices. It's one of the most ubiquitous, flexible, and useful technologies we have. But we haven't only put string to practical purposes. We've also long used it to tickle our minds. My guest today is Dr. Roope Kaaronen. Roope is a cognitive anthropologist and postdoc at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Along with an interdisciplinary team, Roope recently conducted two studies that showcase the centrality of string in human culture. One is on the history and diversity of "string figures” (which are visual designs made with a loop of string held between the hands, often known to English speakers as “Cat's Cradle”). The other study is on the history and diversity of knots. Here Roope and I discuss the deep history of string in human culture. We talk about the seemingly universal spread of string figures across the globe. We zoom in on one string figure in particular—the Jacob's ladder—which seems to be the most widespread string figure of all, despite its complexity. We talk about how both knots and string figures are related to the branch of mathematics known as “topology," and about how knots and string figures have evolved under different constraints. Finally, we discuss what our fascination with string designs might tell us  about the human mind. And we lament the fact that many of string-based cultural heritage is headed—quite rapidly—for extinction. Just a reminder that applications are now open for the 2025 Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute or DISI. If you are an early career researcher and you like this show, you would probably like DISI. Actually, fun fact: our guest today, Roope, is a DISI alum. We met at the Institute a couple years ago and I've followed his work ever since. That should give you some flavor for the people who attend. In any case, for more info, check out disi.org—that's d-i-s-i. org. Alright friends, on to my conversation with Dr. Roope Kaaronen.

Episode Notes Eliot Stein, Author of "Custodians of Wonder" discussed his superb book, homing in on ancient music traditions in Mali, Incan grass bridge makers in Peru, and the world's rarest pasta in Sardinia.

In this episode, we focus on South American logistics, sharing crazy stories from the "Road of Death" where truck drivers dodge landslides, cross rivers on rickety pontoon boats, and take showers in mountain waterfalls just to deliver their cargo. Blythe and Grace Sharkey unpack China's ambitious power play in South America, revealing how their new mega-port in Peru and planned infrastructure projects could reshape global trade routes and potentially sideline the Panama Canal. They also bring attention to the fascinating twist that many of these modern shipping nightmares stem from trying to adapt 15th-century Incan roads - some of history's most impressive engineering feats - into today's crucial trade routes.LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE HEREFeedback?

Start Your Transformation Now  In today's episode, we'll explore Ayni, the ancient Incan concept of sacred reciprocity - a foundational principle for creating abundance and balance in life. Ayni is the understanding that giving with an open heart invites abundance back into your life. It's a principle that has transformed how I live and serve others.  I'll share personal stories, insights, and lessons from my work with Don Xavier to clarify how this powerful concept can impact your relationships, success, and personal growth. You'll also learn to identify relationships lacking reciprocity and why equitable exchanges are essential for maintaining energy and creating meaningful connections.  As we prepare for 2025, I encourage you to reflect on your relationship with giving and receiving. When you embrace Ayni, you create a life of greater service, joy, and abundance - for yourself and others.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  The Essence of Ayni (01:31): Learn the ancient Incan principle of reciprocity and how it applies to relationships, success, and life.  Transformative Giving (08:10): Why giving with an open heart creates abundance and aligns with universal laws of balance.  Recognizing Takers (10:14): Understand how to identify and manage relationships that lack reciprocity.  Equitable Exchanges (23:07): The importance of balanced giving and receiving to maintain energy and build meaningful connections.  Living by Ayni (27:22): How adopting this principle can transform your life, relationships, and contribution to the world.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway: As you prepare for 2025, reflect on the role of reciprocity in your life. Ask yourself, “Am I a giver or a taker? How can I bring more balance and joyful giving into my relationships?” By putting others first and living from a place of service, you'll not only create abundance for others but also transform your own life in profound ways.  Let's Connect:   Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn   LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Episode 108: Green BodhiWhat's Good Famiglia?! How we doin out there?! 2024 is almost over already?! Wow another year flew by! Well before it's over, we have another banger of an episode with the homie John aka Green Bodhi. Green Bodhi is a breeder, cultivator, and a psychedelic explorer. As many of us young heads, John started out a little rowdy, but later was advised it was time to chill. That type of energy wasn't needed in Eugene, OR. Then Green Bodhi started to discover psychedelics and began to heal himself and change his ways of thinking and viewing the world.  We talked about his psychedelic experiences in the Incan ruins of Ollantaytambo, Peru (which I've actually been to), Ayahuasca ceremonies in the Jungle, and much more! Green Bodhi is also a breeder and has some amazing soil grown cultivars. Not to mention, he's also holding the Gas down!!! John had real Chem Dog and an amazing cut of Sour OG that he shared with me. This was a fun and inspiring episode! Y'all know what time it is… Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we're about take this trippy journey with the homie John aka Green Bodhi!✌

In today's episode, I take you on a journey to experience profound well-being by connecting with the Sacred Heart, also known as Christ Consciousness. This episode draws from a conversation I had with Don Xavier on May 8, 2021, where we explored the concept of the Sacred Heart, its divine connection to higher consciousness, and how it acts as a powerful source of spiritual growth, healing, and inner peace.  During this conversation, we also discussed the ancient Incan principle of Ayni - sacred reciprocity - and how giving from the Sacred Heart, rather than just from the mind or physical heart, has the power to transform our lives and those around us. I share how this form of giving, when done with pure intention, leads to incredible spiritual and material abundance.  I'll also introduce a practical heart-mind connection exercise that helps align the physical and Sacred Heart, which not only supports emotional healing but also unlocks an expanded state of spiritual awareness and well-being. This exercise connects us to the divine consciousness of Pachamama (Mother Earth), enabling profound healing and transformation in all aspects of life.   What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Sacred Heart & Christ Consciousness (01:32): Discover how the Sacred Heart, as a representation of divine consciousness, elevates our spiritual growth and well-being.  Two Hearts - Physical and Sacred (07:29): The distinction between the physical heart and the ethereal Sacred Heart, and how both work together to enhance healing.  The Power of Ayni (14:52): Explore the principle of sacred reciprocity (Ayni) and learn why giving from the Sacred Heart has a transformative effect on your life.  The Heart-Mind Connection (36:17): This exercise will align your consciousness, promote healing, and foster deeper spiritual awareness.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway:[Text Wrapping Break]When we give from the Sacred Heart, free of expectations, we align ourselves with divine consciousness and open the door to profound healing, spiritual growth, and abundance. Practicing the heart-mind connection daily deepens our bond with the divine and unlocks the potential for true inner peace and well-being.  Let's Connect:  The Jim Fortin Podcast Website  Instagram  Facebook  YouTube  LinkedIn    Mentioned Resources:   Start Your Transformation Now: http://www.jimfortin.com/app  Is TCP right for you?

In this episode, we journey to the snow covered heights of Mount Llullaillaco, where one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the 20th century took place. Over 500 years ago, three Incan children were sacrificed atop this towering peak in a ritual known as Capacocha. Their perfectly preserved remains tell a haunting story of faith, power, and survival in the harshest conditions imaginable. We explore the chilling yet awe-inspiring details of the Incan Empire's sacrificial practices, the cultural beliefs behind them, and the painstaking work of modern scientists who are bringing it all to light. Email: mummymoviepodcast@gmail.com Patreon: Mummy Movie Podcast BibliographyAudioTorpedo.

Giant spiders crawl around the walls of an ancient city on Mars. And if that doesn’t sound like the plot of a bad movie, then what does? It turns out, though, that this plot is true – in a way. The “city” consists of walls of volcanic rock or hardened sand. And the “spiders” are explosions of dark dust from below the surface. The region is called Inca City. It was discovered in 1972, in pictures from a Mars orbiter. It’s a grid of intersecting lines that resembles the outline of an ancient Incan city. The walls are miles long and hundreds of feet tall. Scientists aren’t sure what created the lines. They could be hardened sand dunes. The most recent idea says they’re volcanic rock. Inca City may lie inside an old impact crater. Molten rock could have bubbled up through cracks in the crater floor. The floor was covered up, but the Martian winds have swept it clean, exposing the ridges. Inca City is near the edge of the southern polar ice cap. Frozen carbon dioxide covers the region in winter. In spring, it vaporizes. Carbon dioxide a few feet below the surface can vaporize first, blowing holes in the ice above it. Dark dust in the plumes then settles to the surface – forming “spiders” around the walls of Inca City. Look for Mars before and during dawn now. It looks like a bright orange star. Tomorrow, it’s to the upper right of the crescent Moon. The brilliant planet Jupiter stands above them. Script by Damond Benningfield

Many things may come to mind when you hear the word 'cocaine' - and we'd wager that the last thing on that list would be the Victorians. But as it turns out, the Victorians were avid cocaine users, whether it be to remedy ailments and injuries, give them an edge in competitive sports or simply put a bit of pep in their step. A hundred years later, it is amongst the most criminalised substances on earth.Dr Douglas Small is a historian of medicine and author of Cocaine, Literature, and Culture, 1876-1930. He joins us today to take us through the deeper history of cocaine and explain how it went from a central feature of Incan cultural life to the defining party drug of the modern day.Produced by James Hickmann, and edited by Dougal Patmore and Max Carrey.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

Greg Jenner is joined by Professor Bill Sillar and comedian Sue Perkins to learn all about the South American Inca empire. At their height, the Inca controlled a vast territory from their base in Peru, one that stretched down the mountainous west coast of the continent, from Ecuador all the way down to Argentina. But the empire barely lasted for a century. Beginning in the mid-15th century, it fell in the 1530s with the arrival of Spanish conquistadores, led by Pizarro. This episode goes beyond famous sites like Machu Picchu and explores all aspects of Incan life, death – and taxes! Along the way, it takes in social and family structures, food and drink, religious practices, art and architecture.

500 years ago Spanish conquistadors invaded the Incan Empire and slew Atahualpa -- the unfortunate who would prove to be the last Emperor. Due to his vast wealth -- largely in the form of gold -- treasure hunters have spent centuries searching in vain for lost treasure of the Incas.  Ecuadorian historian Tamara Estupiñán Viteri who among other things studied and then created a dictionary of the dialects spoken within the Incan Empire, also deciphered the "secret language of the Incas." This along with documents from the Spanish colonial period enabled her to piece together a treasure map of sorts. Following the leads she discovered Tamara made her way to a remote corner of Ecuador where she discovered the hitherto unknown Incan site at Malqui-Machay. It is here that Tamara explains that the greatest Inca "treasure" now lies. Guest: Tamara Estupiñán Viteri is a professional historian with a degree in History from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador. She also holds a master's degree in history, with a specialisation in Andean history, from the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences of Ecuador (FLACSO).  Read more on Tamara: Academia.Edu Music: Pixabay This episode is sponsored by World History Encyclopedia, one of the top history websites on the internet.
