my name is Pedro for which I still do not
know and I am an archaeologist
[Music]
my mother always said that it would come very
far
I think what he wants to get rid of me
because I could never imagine that I was going to
finish working well at 10,000
miles from my house then it makes me
think badly if you loved me so much I do not know if
he wanted me well in 15 minutes we’re going to
tell something about our life is
impossible to tell the life of a
archaeologist in 15 minutes imagine that
like most of us here
in 15 minutes
the preface and little else that’s why I came
to make them aware that history
It is not exactly as we have
told many times and what are you
those responsible for caring and monitoring
that historical reconstruction is done
How should you first?
we think when he says I’m an archaeologist that
what do you have in the strength of
the image the strength of zinc and the
impact of those consumerist policies and
neoliberals that enter us and
that make us see a profession like
that is not this gentleman
obviously is not archaeologist is a
treasure hunter and that’s what I ‘ve
come also to criticize here to
raise you
very many I’m sure that those who
they are here they say me in my house I have
so much to catch the archeological mesh
we do not have to allow the
archeology becomes this in a
show in which people dedicate themselves to
look for treasures everywhere because
because they are ending their history
after all, are you the
responsible all of us here
to denounce these acts and a cowboy
as I know what we call him here joins
spoiler as we see it in europe it
dedicate to find treasure what is
doing is destroy the record
archaeological is preventing
scientists like us
reconstruct the story
let’s see a few examples and
let’s see how archeology
basis
and you are fundamental when it comes to
protect your patrimony puruhá heritage
agree
how much history
murúa have been reflected in the books
text of the schools
this plant like this one is very serious
because not only puruhá inca cañari forgiveness
cañari kitu any of the
nationalities of the peoples does not have
his recorded history so that the
try our guys
luckily at the university rice of
chimborazo we have a group and approved
research that is called puruhá and that
our obligation is to help the people
from the Puruha city to rebuild their
history and let no one invent that
nobody tell you is very important and
let’s see in a small tour the
physical as white is counted
well in textbooks too
they arrived here we all know that they arrived
here giving kisses and hugs to people
hello how is it I’m not Inca to good
you let that dared goal that you know either
yes yes but a little bit just sap not the
Incas was a colonialist town and
imperialist and that only sought to subdue
that the people he conquered
it’s that simple but the logical thing is law
of life too
look so that the managers do not know
it took ten years to get through the system
it is in the south of the equator more abajito
from Cuenca
there was a cacique that is going away duma that
contained 10 years and only entering with
army of 100,000 men túpac
yupanqui managed to defeat him
in exchange for what he did to legitimize himself
Inca in power
very simple to the firstborn son was very
intelligent of the Incas to the son
firstborn of the cacique duva le
commanded to lead the Inca armies to
the expansion towards the north and to the daughter
first he married her with the Inca and
part of his concubines so important
since it is very possible and this is not what
count the books
but it is very possible that this daughter of
duma together with túpac yupanqui had
to the heir to the throne that was a cloak and
that not coincidentally pumapungo nation but
that that expansion had to be legitimized
towards the north until there we go more or
less well we already know that the Incas
they came as imperialists and
colonialists to dominate a territory
but of course now they reach 90 Spaniards
dominate an empire archeology is
fundamental to this so that we do not
mind that those stories like 90
Spaniards are going to master a
Empire is impossible
I understand that yes they arrived 90
handsome tall Spanish men good looking
but from there to dominate an empire like the
inca
we go to a world a world
the books tell us the books
especially school children which is what most
we are worried about what we are
history pedagogues
the books tell us never that those
Spaniards managed to defeat the
Incas because they were a little bit more
smart they and they associated with
the peoples who had subdued the
Incas, who were not other than
punctual the cañar and the quitus
so very happy because they would not be
when they were associated with 90 teams that
they came weird tall bearded with a few
giant dogs and with a skin that
there would be a lot or it is not credible but
as you will see is that nothing much of
the story they tell us is not they are not
credible if we stop to think a
little the greedy Spaniards
imperialists and bad colonialists
is that colonialism so you
they ask for a room full of gold 2
according to the source because we have that
western concept also here between
the world and indigenous autonomy that the
gold is what gives us the wealth not
gentlemen for primitive societies or
ancient pre-Hispanic gold had its
ritual value not its economic value of
agreement
and if as some source tells us
the true gold of the Incas was their
royal lineage protect your real line like
sending the machines out of Greece
to the descendants of a lineage outside to
where they sent it very possibly because
to the site that took centuries to discover
Machu Picchu in 1911 archeology
the only one that can take us to
understand or try to understand these
historical processes without anyone not
count and that nobody did not invent it 20
months leaving the official story
very much and I am one of those who say that
history is written by the vanquished
I’m seeing what I am to them
counting but of the indigenous world
which is the most typical textile in the world
Andean the poncho lie we are
confused we have historical sources
from the 16th century that tell us that those
pre-Hispanic indigenous people dressed
the cousin that is nothing other than a
Long t-shirt
obviously made with natural fibers
native cotton alpaca and vicuña
etc
Spaniards need to expand their
business empire and adapt their poncho and
they impose it on the native society and
besides a poncho I have not done with
natural fibers because it is losing
the work of these fibers
even today a poncho like
sheep wool that is what was left over in
Castilla and what is exported as we see
it’s an idea totally if we want it
call in current neoliberal terms or
liberalist dominate through others
elements
arrives to cristóbal colón to conquer
America
another story that squeaks much a type
against the small boat that
they look like paper next to it
now I’m going to apply and 90 people are going to
conquer a whole continent
obviously other elements did not influence
archeology which serves to
find out what elements that influenced
in that conquest but we are very worried
to know is that image that you see there is a
representation of ‘the boat’
I thought it was the Chinese emperor
the year one thousand 405 almost 90 years of the
arrival of colon is the main ship
eye that main ship of 217 ships looks
of the size of the main ship and the
santa maría de colón brought 28 thousand
men did without seven campaigns
non- imperialist trade
expansionists
there is the difference the problem that
we have the archeologists is to discover
that trail costs us a little more
but if we destroy the deposits
archaeological
it will cost us much more to discover that
trail
the emperor came to China to Africa
we know antarctica australia and how
no america there is a very large group
of ambassadors each prepared with their
language with which I had already done
initial contacts then where
I want to go is what we should consider
very seriously everything that we have
taught so far I do not say I go back to
repeat that the official story is all
false but I do want us to leave
here thinking that we have to investigate
on our side then this map of
europe for a very simple matter
this escapes us no story
official that is the maximum damage that has
made europe in the last centuries the
nation
rhythms on which nationalism is based on
an ethnic group and in a race has no more
nationalism and very dangerous
we are going to defend the
puruhá nationality but from a point
of intelligent sight rescue your
history but not nationalism to
through it I tell a little
history of what happens in europe
because everyone will have heard about the
Celtic music Celtic runes etc.
in the interwar period in europe
everything has to be Aryan and you would do it
Celtic does it also in the Caucasus that
is on the right between Russia and Europe
then an official theory is mounted a
official story in which the Celts
They are from the center of Europe
but of course when we can do it
archeology in Spain we see that there is no
Celts because archeology does not deceive
is there we start thinking how can
get a herodoto Greek historian in
the fourth century before Christ placed a
village that the tiki that the closest thing to
Celtic is Celtic in Latin that the tiki in
the southwest of the Iberian Peninsula what
you see expensive we ask the question to the
archaeologists how they get there without
leave a trace throughout europe because it
suppose they were warriors we do not have
trace throughout europe
we have no trace the Pyrenees indeed
in the Pyrenees half would have died
because they are mountains very, very, very hard
to go through and ask him
Anibal comes up another theory that is not
official and that we will have to demonstrate
through archeology and registration
archaeological and if the Celtic ethnicity arises
in the southwest of europe in the southwest
from Spain and from there it expands towards
the rest as possible if the
Spaniards we are half develop their
developed in europe are not going to say
Europeans but do not touch my the
aria race
we can not defend that because in addition
it can be the descendants of a people
very well known and very powerful the
antiquity than being imprisoned in Spain
we also have archaeological traces of
its expansion towards europe
of that
if we have traces and written the book
of the Irish annals speaks of a myth
that is called breogán and they know where
proceeds that Galician myth that is the
truly Celtic point we know
in the Iberian Peninsula what he has done
It has been a small tour for
defend our work that is the
archeology and as I said I want that
reassure when they leave here if
what they have been told is the truth
history of the peoples and if indeed
we have to work a lot also and
us through the nats on this
history reconstruction test
so that we are taken into account in the
map of the history of ecuador
I do not like to make appointments talk about dating
of others but this one does not come as a ring
to the finger to finish the story is a
cheating that was affiliated as a weapon by
people who repressed the truth
thank you very much
[Applause]
