How can the National Geographic glorified the conquest done by the Spaniard, who slaughter thousands of Inca people, for what? Their greed for gold? "It was a great "victory" done by the Conquistadors," the narrator stated in the Inca Mummies: Secrets of the Lost World. From a view point of an Indigenise, it was a massacre, not a so called "victory". I always believed that the National Geographic was unbiased and neutral in reporting a story to their media. Now, I am not so sure what to believe.I believe that if more Indigenise or Native people would speak up for ourselves to report our way of telling a story to the media. Than the media would have a better understanding of how our "Ancestors" lived and not of the way of a European decent. So much had already been lost since the so called days of discovery of the America had been done. I believe the writer should come from the Indigenise or Native decent being told.The narrator also stated that "the Inca worshiped many gods." My question is, what is the difference in worshiping many "gods" (Spirits) and than worshiping many "saints" from the Roman Catholic religion? Isn't it based upon human faith, culture, tradition, and religion? Who really has the true supremacy to say how a person can believe in?

I enjoyed watching this whole documentary, amazing!

It appears that this Empire is quite weak compared to other empires around the world. The spaniards just took advantage of them. It also seems the Incas were too small and too weak to fight off those blood suckers. In the end, the Inca Empire went down just like the Khmer Empire in Southeast Asia. It's very sad to its people so poor to this day.

This is a very enjoyable documentary, but not something one should watch while eating dinner.

This documentary sends many messages and I will try to be as brief as possible.
The first conflict involved is the justification of desecrating a burial site !This can be explained simply for the fact that the knowledge gained by researching a culture that was so efficient in providing for a huge society without the benefit of any modern technology, can be of help in developing technologies , although supported by modern computers, can be benefitial to our modern Society.As A scientifically based person I am not particularly religious, however I do believe in god but I practice no particular religion. I feel that the reason for the Incas' paying so much attention to detail to everything they did was because of their relatively small society comared to today. I have noticed this behavior in small towns where I lived in Germany where everyone knows each other and helps each other.I have to draw a line when it comes down to desecrating a grave site. I can only justify this from a scientific standpoint.What really upset me the most was the fact that grave robbers never really understood the historical value of what they had taken. Plain greed took over and I am sure that Gold
was the motivational force.What saddens me is that even though some graves were excavated, the mummies were very well preserved and I like to think that , done professionally with the right intentions, this does not constitute a conventional desecration because of its scientific value. It's easier to think about this if you trade places.

Three Thousand years from now, our physical remain may be dug up and studied while our future counterparts wonder how such a technologically advanced society could have failed !Just an insight into where we might be headed. There are just too few individuals who care about the whole and are only worried about themselves.Sincerely,Jason Maltz ( google )
