High in the Andes, the Inca ruled an empire without writing, without wheels, and without iron.

Yet they built cities above the clouds, roads across impossible mountains, and a state that controlled millions.

In 1532, fewer than two hundred Spanish conquistadors entered their world.

They brought steel.
Gunpowder.
Horses.
And a hunger for gold.

What followed was not a war.

It was the capture of a civilization.

This documentary explores the dramatic fall of the Inca Empire and the meeting between two realities that could not coexist. From the sacred order of the Andes to the ambush at Cajamarca, from the capture of Atahualpa to the collapse of imperial authority, this film traces how one of the largest empires in the Americas was dismantled with shocking speed.

Inside this story:

– The world of the Inca and how their empire functioned
– The civil war that weakened the Andes before the Spanish arrived
– Francisco Pizarro and the conquistador expedition
– The trap at Cajamarca and the capture of the Inca emperor
– The ransom of gold and the execution of Atahualpa
– The destruction of temples, cities, and sacred order
– The rise of colonial rule in South America
– And what truly fell when the Inca Empire collapsed

The Inca did not fall because they were weak.

They fell because their world was never built to survive what arrived.

Steel.
Disease.
Betrayal.
And the removal of a living god.

On Fragments of History, we don’t just recount the past.
We explore the fractures — the moments when entire civilizations stop existing.
