Summary "The Travels of Pedro de Cieza de León; Part 2" by Pedro de Cieza de León is a historical account written in the late 16th century. The work chronicles the history and government of the Incas, exploring their origins, societal structure, and notable events during their rule in Peru. It provides valuable insights into the Inca civilization, detailing the cultural practices, myths, and the historical context leading up to the Spanish conquest. The opening of this chronicle introduces the state of the Andean region before the Incas achieved dominance, describing a disorganized society characterized by warfare and anarchy. Cieza de León recounts legends of powerful beings, like Ticiviracocha, who the natives believed could change landscapes and heal the sick, along with the arrival of brave leaders who sought to unify and govern the people. These tales set the foundation for understanding the rise of the Incas, illustrating the social dynamics, cultural beliefs, and historical precedents that shaped their empire.
