As the story goes, in 1532 one of the mightiest civilisations in the New World was defeated in a lightning campaign by a tiny force of fewer than 200 Conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro. Pizarro's conquest of the Inca has long stood uncontested as one of the most brilliant military victories in the history of warfare. But maybe the history books didn't get things quite right. Now, bolstered by finds in new excavations outside Lima, Peru, archaeologist Guillermo Cock has discovered what may be the first-ever physical evidence of an untold story of guerrilla warfare and rebellion, of counter sieges and terror tactics. There's new evidence that even with the help of thousands of local Indian recruits and mercenaries from what is now Nicaragua, it may have taken the Spanish decades to subdue Inca rebels who mounted guerilla wars against the treasure-seeking Conquistadors. With new data unearthed in the mummies at the Lima site, and 70 skeletons bearing the scars of rebellion, Cock is helping to rewrite the book on the Conquest of the Incas. The Great Inca Rebellion combines the best of forensic anthropology, science, and historical analysis to explore this epic saga for the first time. Viewers will plunge into the heart of battle to see how Incas measured up to Spaniards in weapons, tactics and the use of terror. They'll learn about the Indian guerilla campaign from stylish re-enactments and CGI weaponry reconstructions. They'll peer into 3-D CT scans of the wounds suffered by the doomed Mochito and his cohorts as world-renowned forensic scientists reconstruct their final combat. With CSI-style intercutting between crime-lab and battlefield, we'll bring these great warriors back to life and witness their last stand.
