Peruso explains: Pachacútec

Peruso explains pachacutec

"Now, kids, listen up! Pachacutec was the coolest king ever! Well, he was a Sapa Inca , the boss of everything. But instead of just sitting on a throne like a normal king and covering himself in gold, he said: 'Hey, you know what? I'm going to build the biggest kingdom in the world! On mountains so high you'll get dizzy just thinking about it!'

But guys, he wasn't just a boss, he was like the ultimate janitor. If something was broken, BAM, he fixed it. Whole cities? No problem. 'Oh, your city got torn apart by an earthquake? Don't worry, Pachacutec has it covered!' He basically did the Inca version of Bob the Builder - except when he used a hammer, you'd end up with a whole city like Machu Picchu!

But hey, he wasn't always nice. If you said that his llama looked ugly or his throne was too uncomfortable, then... er... let's put it this way: you got an invitation to heaven, but with no return ticket. Yes, he didn't like to argue.

And do you know what he called himself? Pachacútec , which means something like 'world changer'. Not 'world saviour', because who wants to save the world when you can completely transform it instead, right? He thought: 'No, I'll make everything new, but in my crazy way!'"
