Given the fact that many people simply confuse the known civilizations of the past of South and Central America, this film will shed light on the development, sunset and new modern history of one of them – the Incas.
The narrative is conducted as if in several time planes within the framework of one film. In order to better understand the fate of the Inca people, we are thoroughly introduced to the history of the development and fall of this great civilization, the name of which every child today knows. A feature of the projects of this NGO series is the restoration of distant events with the help of actors. You should not wait for Hollywood stars here, because it is not important, besides the characters are usually mute. We get basic information from the narrator, and this helps to avoid confusion to some extent. Of course, there can be no photo or video evidence of the time of colonization of South America, so as materials presented portraits of Spanish conquerors. The story most resembles a fairy tale with adventures. Of course, it is a pity that the human essence pushes us to enslave the weaker, to the tireless desire to move forward at all costs. On the other hand, it is hard to imagine that today among the jungles of Peru would remain an untouched civilization with a primitive system, giant cities, closed from prying eyes and the civilized world. The second part of the story plunges us into the euphoria of one man, researcher Hiram Bingham. Here we are dealing with a more modern image of the adventurer, who later became a senator in the United States. But during the First World War, when there were still many white spots on the world map, especially in remote parts of the New World, the tireless passion of one researcher allowed us to watch a film on this topic today. Watch video footage of the colossal and indescribable beauty of cities. I said a new story. In addition to the heirs of an ancient culture, whose veins flow the same blood that did not submit to the conquistadors, today magnificent cultural monuments and art objects are available to all who have the desire and opportunity to see them.
I can’t call this documentary exceptionally interesting, but for evening viewing you can take a short trip to the thickets of the Peruvian forests.
