Everything changed in 1531, a bearded Spaniard stepped off his ship on the shores of the New Land.
Pursuing gold, silver, and new lands for the Spanish Crown, he could not pick a better time.
A dynastic war between two brothers had left People of the Andes unprepared and in chaos.
The moment was precise, the bearded Spaniard and his crew went in pursuit of the riches of the land.
Through trickery and betrayal, he captured the winning brother and executed him. The last one of the dynasty faded away.
People of the Andes, powerful and brilliant administrators, efficient peace keepers, negotiators instead of imposers; in one hundred years unified the largest concentration of substance called "power."
The sum of all was called "Tawantisuyu" (Land of four quarters). Twelve million people were united.
Then fleshy desires over "power" made war to appear. What was conquer in one hundred years was lost just in a few. People of the Andes knew that "end" was near. The laws were broken.
Nature has to punish.
The bearded Spaniard with primitive firearms and men mounted in horses weren't able to win.
People of the Andes knew that in advance. Somehow the power harmonized itself. Both sides were running after fleshy treasures. People of the Andes had to let them win. This was the law of nature.
People of the Andes weren't defeated by the bearded Spaniard and his crew. They just let them win.
And their love for Harmony and their respect for Nature never was lost, and after more than five hundred years since the bearded man and his crew came to the shores of the "Tawantisuyu",
the SOUL of the People of the Andes still is in love with Harmony and still feels respect for Nature because for them that is the Universal Law.
