Book Synopsis
Fue durante el siglo XIV cuando se materializaron los funestos augurios del fin de dos grandes civilizaciones; el ocaso de dos míticos gobernantes: Moctezuma Xocoyotzin y Atahualpa y, con ellos, el de los únicos Estados imperiales del Nuevo Mundo precolombino, mexica e inca: la Triple Alianza y Tawantinsuyo. Varios paralelismos existen, asimismo, entre los estadistas: ambos enfrentaron la llegada de los españoles y presenciaron la caída de sus pueblos, uno fue hecho prisionero por Cortés y el otro por Pizarro, pero sobre todo atestiguaron el advenimiento de un nuevo orden que emergió sobre las ruinas de sus imperios. Una cruel sincronía que ha intrigado por igual a historiadores, arqueólogos y etnólogos. Eduardo Matos Moctezuma (Premio Princesa de Asturias) y Luis Millones Santa Gadea (uno de los historiadores y antropólogos peruanos con mayor reconocimiento internacional) contraponen los perfiles de estas figuras legendarias en un fascinante libro que desvela los misterios acerca de su origen y destino.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
It was during the fourteenth century that the ominous omens of the end of two great civilizations materialized; the decline of two mythical rulers: Moctezuma Xocoyotzin and Atahualpa and, with them, that of the only imperial states of the pre-Columbian, Mexica and Inca New World: the Triple Alliance and Tawantinsuyo.
Several parallels also exist between the statesmen: both faced the arrival of the Spaniards and witnessed the fall of their peoples, one was taken prisoner by Cortés and the other by Pizarro, but above all they witnessed the advent of a new order that emerged on the ruins of their empires.
A cruel synchronicity that has intrigued historians, archaeologists and ethnologists alike. Eduardo Matos Moctezuma (Princess of Asturias Laureate) and Luis Millones Santa Gadea (one of Peru's most internationally renowned historians and anthropologists) contrast the profiles of these legendary figures in a fascinating book that unveils the mysteries of their origin and destiny.
