“New evidence on the fate of the Incas helps to reimagine their tale in this National Geographic documentary”

According to traditional accounts, the mighty Inca were swiftly wiped out by a small band of Spanish conquistadors. But new evidence had been unearthed that supports a different version of the story.

Uncovered remains of those who died in battle, along with recently discovered documents, suggest that even after forming military alliances with thousands of Indian mercenaries, it took the Spanish many years to defeat the Inca Empire.

Brought to life through CGI reconstruction and re-enactments, the untold epic saga of guerilla warfare and rebellion are revealed as National Geographic reveals the truth behind the Incas last stand.

Great Inca Rebellion presents stunning new evidence that is changing what we know about the final days of the Inca Empire.
