Juan Santos Atahualpa - Guide Lines of The Projected Rebellion

Guide Lines of The Projected Rebellion

Juan Santos Atahualpa's ideas and ideology remain mysterious, with information concerning him coming from usually hostile accounts by Franciscan missionaries. He was heavily influenced by nativist and messianic ideology. By revolting against Spanish rule, he sought to balance the cosmic order, which he felt was disrupted by the Spanish Conquest of 1532. Juan Santos promised his revolt would bring peace and prosperity to all the Andes, beginning in the jungle and spreading to the highlands and the coast. The culmination of his rebellion, Juan Santos claimed, would be his coronation as Sapa Inca (supreme ruler of Tawantinsuyu) in the capital city of Lima. He was also very influenced by Christianity: Jesuit and Franciscan visitors to his camp remarked on how everybody prayed daily in not only indigenous tongues but also in Spanish (Castilian) and Latin.

Famous quotes containing the words guide, lines, projected and/or rebellion:

    The office of the scholar is to cheer, to raise, and to guide men by showing them facts amidst appearances. He plies the slow, unhonored, and unpaid task of observation.... He is the world’s eye.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Scholars and artists thrown together are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ. Both work from knowledge; but I suspect they differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by. Scholars get theirs with conscientious thoroughness along projected lines of logic; poets theirs cavalierly and as it happens in and out of books. They stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Idealistic producing is safe. Sensibly projected in the theater, the fine thing always does pay and always will.
    Minnie Maddern Fiske (1865–1932)

    O make me a mask and a wall to shut from your spies
    Of the sharp, enamelled eyes and the spectacled claws
    Rape and rebellion in the nurseries of my face....
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
