It was so fun creating art for this. Over 40 paintings I believe. Tons of work but I'm gonna really miss this world. Looking forward to working on part 2!
As a Peruvian from Cusco, this video sent shivers down my spine, seeing my culture and heritage take the seat it deserves among the great empires of old feels incredible
Peruvian guy here. The guinea pigs's sound was a total surprise! It got a good laugh from me, I can assure you. Also, this has to be one of the very few times that the youtube algorythm actually delivered. Already loving your work, by the way.
the guinea pig wheeking also got me pretty good... unfortunately the pigs got focused right after I learned that Incas ate them, so the overall effect was rather tragic 😅
I humbly suggest my own videos "The Aztec FEMALE SERIAL KILLER Queen Precious-Jade-Vulva; my full "AUDIOBOOK With Benefits" , or "RETURN TO AZTLAN (Retorno a Aztlan) MOVIE REVIEW - the only 100% Precolumbian movie ever made! NSFW" or "Battle of Otumba 1520 scene "HIJOS DEL VIENTO" Aztecs v Conquistadors - AWFUL BATTLE SCENE BREAKDOWN" and more besides. I hope they are informative and entertaining for you and any other inquiring minds here, cheers!
Thank you so much! As an Ecuadorian it’s really refreshing to see someone cover the greatness of the Inca. People only ever talk about the Aztecs, Mayans, or the fall of the Incans🥲
For more information I recommend the UA-cam channel: Pero Esa es Otra Historia / The Rest Is History with its videos: 1. Stories of pre-Hispanic cultures of America. 2. The conquest of America. 3. Viceroyalties of America. 4. Independence of America.
As a Peruvian currently in pursuit of a phd and my work is primarily in the Peruvian Andes, i have to say this is SUPER WELL DONE. I’m glad you mention the nuance of politics the Inka dealt with, the real fact that they were to some degree a fully authoritarian state, and also the themes of reciprocity. All i can really say is thank you from the bottom of my heart
@@official_knack Thank you so much for the kind comment! Made my day. There will be a sequel to this episode. Also, we’re planning to visit Peru in 2026! ~Chris
@forgott_8182 Yet his victories were more impressive by a larger magnitude. There is absolutely no way you're actually comparing the inca wars with napoleon warfare LMAO, that fact alone shows your severe lack of understanding reality Pachachuti's conquests were surely impressive, but to put them above napoleon is plain stupid.
@@whyyes6429 napoleon was a great conqueror but a bad consolidator. Pachacuti was a great conqueror and a great consolidator. That’s why he said Pachacuti was better in those regards. It would be more appropriate to compare Pachacuti with Augustus Caesar since they were both great conquerors AND great consolidators IMO.
As someone with Peruvian heritage thank you for this video, there is not much history about the Incas out there but this video is one of the best I've ever seen! I have an even greater appreciation for my ancestry now.
I knew that pre-Columbian American civilizations were way more advanced than I learned in school, but I never could've imagined this. I see the likes of Rome, Greece, Babylon, and medieval Europe present in every painting. I see a civilization so much more powerful and beautiful than I ever thought possible. Joseph Feely is an absolute artistic genius
Only the ones in today's central Mexico, Guatemala and Peru, the border lands of this modern countries borders where a mix of urban cities and villages and the borders beyond that where nomads, like in NA.
Exactly my thoughts! While watching this, their civilization reminded me so much of the Roman Empire in terms of innovation, centralization, administration, and the idea of the 'State'. Imperial China also comes to mind. If only they had developed a couple centuries before the arrival of the Europeans, it would have been so it interesting to see how their civilization and state would evolve. But tbf, the Europeans would have arrived regardless and the arrival of smallpox still would have completely ravaged them, no matter what, they would have never been prepared to deal with the epidemic.
@@KingAlton9403 Peru has 6000 years of urban history. Inca were not even the 1st empire just the biggest, arguably the 3rd big empire. The only reason the Spanish conquered them is due to 1 in a million shot in the dark. Even while fighting the Spanish the locals adopted horses, armor and gunpowder in the subsequent wars. There are paintings from the XVIth century with armored Inca nobles riding horses too. In my opinion it would've been something like Japan x10 (due to size) a centralized populous state that adopted tech and trade with the whole world, unlike Japan they couldn't have rejected the world so they just would've expanded throughout the south and east of South America since they were just nomad tribes vs now horse riding, metal armored, massed Inca armies.
@poloclubb WTF are you talking about NA tribes where nomads, didn't even have farming. Much less 6000 years of URBAN civilization history. Inca where just the latest in a long line of civilizations. Aztec where the crazy cannibals who everyone in ancient mexico hates. Apache had a peak population of 60k people, the Inca had an empire of 10m-20m people, with advanced cities, roads, water works like acqueducts, etc. BTW the Spanish conquered the Inca because they allied with the losing side of the civil war and intermarried them, several of the highest noble houses in Europe have Incan blood, since Interracial marriage was legal in the Spanish Empire since 1540. Unlike the US's 1960.
I put this video on while getting ready to go out and ended up staring at my phone in a trance for half an hour. This was such an engrossing history. Your writing and art are beautiful. It helps that I knew very little about the Inca Empire's rise before European colonialism, so I'm very glad to have watched this video. Thanks!
The life of Nezahualcóyotl would make an epic episode. An orphaned prince, whose quest to avenge his father and reclaim his birthright created the aztec empire. And a ruler who was also an accomplished poet, scholar, and architect.
Your guy's channel cannot be overrated! The way in which you bring history to life and make it more palatable for all age ranges and audiences is absolutely spectacular. Thank you for keeping the past alive and well in the present
It’s so intoxicating to think of ancient civilizations as smarter than us in a lot of ways. The craftsmanship and beauty in construction and governance is amazing. I went to Machu Pichu when I was a kid and it is magnificent
They are not smarter than us. They are more adaptable than us. We have phones and technologies they don't havr any of these that's why their buildings and infrastructures are extremely resilient.
People back then had the same intelligence we have today. They just had mastered other things. We have the advantage of previous knowledge written down we can build on. Although some knowledge has been forgotten
I’ve literally been watching documentaries on the Inca, Maya & Aztecs yesterday & then my favourite history YT channel drops this! Absolutely love your work! Massive props to your bro also for the artwork

As a Peruvian it was a good video, the images and editing were excellent although a little disorganized in the expansion to the north. As you mentioned the Waris and Tiahuanacos. I hope you dedicate a video to those two civilizations that were also important. Greetings.
The South American Empires remind me of Early Roman Civilization from their great everlasting structures to their clothing and military apperal and governmental structures It's fascinating.
my guy you have done it again! as my grandparents would spend every winter in peru and had done so for decades i grew up with stories of the inca as a kid. The house was filled with ceramics, figures, pottery and textiles (some inca, some chimu, some chancay, nazca and more), along with bows and other objects from the amazon. you make history come alive through your videos and though we sadly will never have had the possibility to experience this amazing culture because of the Spanish, this video really makes me understand why my grandparents fell in love with the history and culture of the area. Can't wait for the next part!!
Wonderful! I'm glad you liked it. There are so many magnificent civilizations in Andean history, and I wanted to give an impression of that. That's very cool your grandparents had artifacts. It's awesome scrolling through these comments and seeing other people's interest in Inca history get sparked by this video. ~Chris
You can partially experience this in rural areas of Perú, especially near the ancient capital of the Empire, Cuzco. Well, regarding the Spanish, unfortunately due to Europe's naval advances, they had to arrive at some point. Fortunately, it can be said that way, the Spanish arrived and not the French, Dutch or British, because most likely there would not have been a trace of this civilization left. Contrary to what is believed in culturally Protestant countries, the Spanish were less destructive than they believe, Protestant propaganda was very harsh against Spain, for being the most powerful Catholic kingdom in its time. They even believe that the Spanish inquisition was more abusive than the Protestant inquisitions or those of northern/central Europe, which is completely false and ridiculous, but it shows a lot the power of propaganda. Greetings from Perú.
I LOVE this! These longer form videos and videos on the ancient and lost world of the Americas. There is so much information I can absorb it all at once. I cant tell you how excited I am
If you look at a topographical map of South America and where the Inca Empire was based in, it was very impressive that they got so large and powerful, yet maintained it quite well. It took an unforeseen threat from the different side of the world to lay them low: Disease from the Old World.
The Inca's strategic brilliance and adaptability were amazing. I had no idea they used psychological warfare and managed such a vast empire without writing! Truly impressive
I love your capacity to tell the history in the form of a rather compelling narrative; that takes effort and talent. The fresh art is also quite emotive and brings the context to life. Love y'all's work!
Thank you so much for covering andean history in such great way! I was born in Peru and still think that andean and prehispanic cultures are very underrepresented in film, documentaries and so on.
The Inca Empire, which thrived in the 15th and early 16th centuries, was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. What’s fascinating is that they built a vast network of roads, known as the Inca Road System, stretching over 25,000 miles. This impressive infrastructure connected their empire, from the high Andes to the coast. Despite never developing a system of writing, they used quipus, knotted cords, to keep records. Imagine a history documentary showcasing these roads, with stunning views of the Andes, as you discover how the Incas managed communication and control across such a massive and rugged terrain!
I loved this video so much. I actually had the privilege of visiting Cusco as a 17 year old on a Spanish trip. I understood some of the magnificence of what I was seeing at Machu Picchu, but nothing like I would now. Thank you for this video. It's another absolute masterpiece.
Thanks so much! I saw Inca ruins when I traveled in northwest Argentina years ago, and I also didn't fully appreciate them when I saw them. Planning on visiting Peru in 2026! ~Chris
Dude, your channel is a work of art! Never stop making videos like this. As an ancient history buff, it would be awesome if you made some videos about older civilizations like ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, or ancient Greece. Periods like the Bronze Age told in your video format would be so good!
Incredible work! I can't stress enough how good of a job this video makes in portraying the Inca as a civilization in their own right to the likes of the Romans or Chinese and not just a footnote in History. Keep up the good work!
Absolute perfection. GREAT call on making a longer video. I really really like it when you take the time to describe the lives and culture of a civilization. Adds more stakes and meaning to the battles. I didn't know anything about the history of South America before watching this, and now i know quite a bit. Great job keeping the narrative focused on the core elements enough so it's very easy to follow, but with such rich detail in them at the same time. Great usage of territory maps at the perfect times for full clarity. Plus of course, only this channel has this amazing style of immersive art. This really made me feel like I was in the mysterious alien world of old South America. Not just because of the landscapes or different way of life, but because even the Incas didn't know how to handle the mysterious parts of the continent, such as the deep Amazon or the surprisingly tough Mapuche people near the Maule River. Makes the continent feel like an onion where there's always more around the corner.
This channel as well as others like Epic History Tv has convinced me to buy UA-cam premium instead of Netflix or HBO. This is the kind of stuff I want to watch.
Thank you guys for inspiring me and getting me back not only into art which I haven’t done in a while, but back into history/reading as well. I still can’t believe a channel as informative and professional as yours goes under appreciated. But slow growth is better than no growth.
@@LateMarch3 because of how well managed it was. People speak runa simi from colombia to chile and argentina. Nahuahtl is more local even though it also has a large population of speakers
Once again, HistoryDose has knocked it out of the park. Great video guys! I hope one day you expand your team because I'd love to be a researcher for y'all!
Would love a part 2 soon, and also I’m curious what you can find about trade networks in pre-colombian South America, specifically outside of the Andes? I heard a while back about the Wichí being involved in trade with the Incas & the Mapuche, but I can’t for the life of me find the source or remember the details
A phenomenal work with beautiful art, and professional narration. This is high quality work, its strive for truth, fidelity and respect to part of my people's history is greatly appreciated. My thanks to you and your team.
Your videos are released just far enough apart that I almost forget how talented you both are. Thanks for the awesome video, looking forward to whatever comes next!
Hands down the best channel on UA-cam. For me history is my true love in life. Everyday I try and learn more and the level of storytelling and depth of information in these videos are insane. I don’t care if you ever blow up man because regardless of your view counts on ur videos because this channel will always be top tier content. Thanks for all you do
Thanks so much. I started the channel with my brother because I wanted an excuse to do deep dives on historical topics--just pure love of human history. It's awesome being able to spark others' curiosity in a subject! ~Chris
We need this channel to blow up. Seriously. Every video is a masterpiece! I am honored and grateful for the privilege of watching these in all its narrative and visual glory.
amazing content. so interesting to learn history through your unique storytelling and visual format. Hoping your vids continue to go viral, please never stop!!
Fair treatment? Nah man, just like the Persians they made them slaves. So obviously Alexander/ Pizzaro had support from subjected local populations when they fought their rulers.
@@Youngchiefstunna2003 and they've got that. Under the Spaniards. For better or for worse, nobody knows. Because the wars in between them were horrific too. History is written by the winners. In this phase some are trying to re-write it- but still.. they write in English or Spanish.
@ That’s coming from an outsider, my ppl still past down oral stories of our history, just because it isn’t written doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, those people and their descendants still exist
This was fantastic, I thoroughly enjoyed it. After the part 2 is released I would enjoy hearing you speak about your historical sources for this episode. How do we know what we know about the Incan empire?
A truly extraordinary view into the Incas. Joe’s artwork is always special but this video had such emotion in the art that it really told a tale beyond mere history. Chris’s detailed research weaves it all together into a gripping tale that is both informative and at times shocking. Thank you for the massive time and effort that goes into each moment
Thank you, you're very kind. This was hundreds of hours of work, because we really wanted to transport people into the incredible world of the Incas. ~Chris
@@HistoryDose Having dipped my toe into some of the history of the Plains people of Western Canada, I can understand the extra difficulty of finding quality, detailed history of the Americas pre-contact. Your efforts are very much appreciated

The Inca Empire, which thrived in the 15th and early 16th centuries, was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. What’s fascinating is that they built a vast network of roads, known as the Inca Road System, stretching over 25,000 miles. This impressive infrastructure connected their empire, from the high Andes to the coast. Despite never developing a system of writing, they used quipus, knotted cords, to keep records. Imagine a history documentary showcasing these roads, with stunning views of the Andes, as you discover how the Incas managed communication and control across such a massive and rugged terrain!
I loved this video so much. I actually had the privilege of visiting Cusco as a 17 year old on a Spanish trip. I understood some of the magnificence of what I was seeing at Machu Picchu, but nothing like I would now. Thank you for this video. It's another absolute masterpiece.
Thanks so much! I saw Inca ruins when I traveled in northwest Argentina years ago, and I also didn't fully appreciate them when I saw them. Planning on visiting Peru in 2026!

Dude, your channel is a work of art! Never stop making videos like this. As an ancient history buff, it would be awesome if you made some videos about older civilizations like ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, or ancient Greece. Periods like the Bronze Age told in your video format would be so good!
Incredible work! I can't stress enough how good of a job this video makes in portraying the Inca as a civilization in their own right to the likes of the Romans or Chinese and not just a footnote in History. Keep up the good work!
This video means a lot to me. Thank you for putting so much effort into this.
As a peruvian living in Cuzco I thank you for this, good sir.
Thank you! Hope to be visiting in 2026!

30 min video is awesome, much love! Havent seen yet it but i already know its gonna be a banger
love all native american history. thank you for making such a detailed and interesting video
Thank you for these wonderful images, and the research behind your compelling presentations. I watch them, I and re-watch them.
Thank you!
Absolute perfection. GREAT call on making a longer video. I really really like it when you take the time to describe the lives and culture of a civilization. Adds more stakes and meaning to the battles. I didn't know anything about the history of South America before watching this, and now i know quite a bit. Great job keeping the narrative focused on the core elements enough so it's very easy to follow, but with such rich detail in them at the same time. Great usage of territory maps at the perfect times for full clarity. Plus of course, only this channel has this amazing style of immersive art.
This really made me feel like I was in the mysterious alien world of old South America. Not just because of the landscapes or different way of life, but because even the Incas didn't know how to handle the mysterious parts of the continent, such as the deep Amazon or the surprisingly tough Mapuche people near the Maule River. Makes the continent feel like an onion where there's always more around the corner.
Great work guys !
Thanks so much!
Better than any history channel specials I can recall
This is an amazing documentary! I learned so much. I hope you reach the success you deserve!
this is my absolute favorite youtube channel right now, great art and amazing story telling
This channel as well as others like Epic History Tv has convinced me to buy UA-cam premium instead of Netflix or HBO. This is the kind of stuff I want to watch.
The fact that you did an episode about my father’s people fills my heart with great joy and gratitude. 🙏🏽
I have emotional reaction to this. Need to watch again Feel like I got lost in a world and wish I could be there
Thank you guys for inspiring me and getting me back not only into art which I haven’t done in a while, but back into history/reading as well. I still can’t believe a channel as informative and professional as yours goes under appreciated. But slow growth is better than no growth.
As a Peruvian I have been waiting for this video!
Hope you enjoyed it :)
~Chris
@@HistoryDose Watched it many times and sent it to my family. Thank you for your in depth dive into Inca History
Thank you for inspiring us all 🙏🏾 amazing episode once again, loving this longer episode!
Another masterpiece...amazing content again 😍
The Incan Empire really makes the Aztec “Empire” look even more dysfunctional
how so?
@@LateMarch3 because of how well managed it was. People speak runa simi from colombia to chile and argentina. Nahuahtl is more local even though it also has a large population of speakers
Son demonios hasta hoy en día los frijoleros 😂
y los mexicano siguen llorando hasta el día d hoy viven envidiando a sudamerica XD🤔
Calmado mi come palomas. No todos los mexicanos descendemos de los mexicas.@@kc-gl9wv
One of the most fascinating things about history is how interconnected the events are across different cultures and time periods.
Love all your work but this is up there with the best, I've just learned a lot!
You're the best channel on UA-cam!
Once again, HistoryDose has knocked it out of the park. Great video guys! I hope one day you expand your team because I'd love to be a researcher for y'all!
This is incredible. You should be very proud of such fine work!
Would love a part 2 soon, and also I’m curious what you can find about trade networks in pre-colombian South America, specifically outside of the Andes?
I heard a while back about the Wichí being involved in trade with the Incas & the Mapuche, but I can’t for the life of me find the source or remember the details
A phenomenal work with beautiful art, and professional narration. This is high quality work, its strive for truth, fidelity and respect to part of my people's history is greatly appreciated. My thanks to you and your team.
Fantastic video. One of the channel's best.
Your videos are released just far enough apart that I almost forget how talented you both are. Thanks for the awesome video, looking forward to whatever comes next!
Truly breathtaking art. Such an enthralling video, I couldn’t look away or pause even for a second!
Hands down the best channel on UA-cam. For me history is my true love in life. Everyday I try and learn more and the level of storytelling and depth of information in these videos are insane. I don’t care if you ever blow up man because regardless of your view counts on ur videos because this channel will always be top tier content. Thanks for all you do
Me too….I love to learn!
Thanks so much. I started the channel with my brother because I wanted an excuse to do deep dives on historical topics--just pure love of human history. It's awesome being able to spark others' curiosity in a subject!
~Chris
Amazing art and storytelling, I am awed. I would love to see the follow-up, but also the same for the Aztecs and Nazca
This is truly stunning. You made the Inca come alive.
Beautiful artwork. Always such well done narration. One of the best channels on UA-cam
Great visuals and 10/10 story telling! Great work guys! you guys did amazing research!
Hello History dose love your content! Can we make an epic Skanderbeg story defending Albania fighting the ottomans whilst being outnumberd by far.
We need this channel to blow up. Seriously. Every video is a masterpiece! I am honored and grateful for the privilege of watching these in all its narrative and visual glory.
Thanks so much! The comments and especially shares go a long way!
~Chris
this might be your best one yet, which is saying ALOT
Thank you so much! I could feel this one was special. Some topics are just so good I'm dying to share them. Was anxious to release this one.
~Chris
Fantastic. I don't need to say more.
amazing content. so interesting to learn history through your unique storytelling and visual format. Hoping your vids continue to go viral, please never stop!!
Cool video! Can't wait for a part 2 (preferably ASAP)
The Inca acted alot the the Persians. With their large polyglot armies and fair treatment of the conquered.
Interesting!
Fair treatment? Nah man, just like the Persians they made them slaves. So obviously Alexander/ Pizzaro had support from subjected local populations when they fought their rulers.
@nuclearwinter391 the other pops did the same thing, them just were convinced cause they was promised the same level of control as the incas
@@Youngchiefstunna2003 and they've got that. Under the Spaniards. For better or for worse, nobody knows. Because the wars in between them were horrific too. History is written by the winners. In this phase some are trying to re-write it- but still.. they write in English or Spanish.
@ That’s coming from an outsider, my ppl still past down oral stories of our history, just because it isn’t written doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, those people and their descendants still exist
This was absolutely amazing. Can't wait for part 2.
Excellent work here Sir 👌
This was fantastic, I thoroughly enjoyed it. After the part 2 is released I would enjoy hearing you speak about your historical sources for this episode. How do we know what we know about the Incan empire?
Absolutely awesome
Blend of art styles when talking about history and ancient stories
A truly extraordinary view into the Incas. Joe’s artwork is always special but this video had such emotion in the art that it really told a tale beyond mere history. Chris’s detailed research weaves it all together into a gripping tale that is both informative and at times shocking. Thank you for the massive time and effort that goes into each moment
Thank you, you're very kind. This was hundreds of hours of work, because we really wanted to transport people into the incredible world of the Incas.
~Chris
@@HistoryDose Having dipped my toe into some of the history of the Plains people of Western Canada, I can understand the extra difficulty of finding quality, detailed history of the Americas pre-contact. Your efforts are very much appreciated
What a video man. Makes me feel a certain type of way know this are my past ancestors that I came from. The art was beautiful and I greatly enjoyed. Keep going man, I'm a huge fan
Thank you! This one was a lot of hard work. Tons of research and over 40 original pieces of art from my brother Joe.
~Chris
Great vid!!! Can’t wait for part 2. The story of Pizarro told by his brother of the fight against the Incas is one of the craziest ever.
It'll be a good one! Probably late this year or early next year
~Chris
Another amazing video! I’ve seen people asking for a video about the americas and it’s so cool you guys did! There was a lotta interesting things I’ve never even heard about before. Looking forward to part 2!
This is a great video for people interested in South American history.
sheeeeesh one of the best history channels is pinoy keep it up man I look forward to every video proud to be pinoy!
These videos are incredible. The narration, the artwork and the music and sound effects compliment everything so well.
Thank you! Hundreds of hours went into this between us two brothers!
~Chris
Woah! I was researching this history when you brought out this video. Amazing work my man, keep it up!!
Thanks!! The script with footnotes and a full bibliography is linked at the end of the description if you'd like to continue your research. Terence D'Altroy's book is great.
~Chris
