The interpellation to the Inca in Peru has always been a powerful resource in the political, social and cultural area. The so-called "Inca Nationalism" in the second half of the eighteenth century, whose representative is Tupac Amaru II, is its most explicit proof. But before this nationalism was consolidated, a proto-nationalism was required. Although it is difficult to determine exactly the date of its formation, the Tupac Amaru’s ejecutación in 1572 influenced decisively. From the failure of the "Great Rebellion," the Inca Nationalism lost its base and the creole nationalism has prevailed with the principle of "Incas yes, Indians no". Only in 1968, with the takeover of Velasco, this principle crumbled. From this moment, the most striking phenomenon is the appeal to Pachacutec. Although there are dark sides as cases of Alejandro Toledo, New Incaism and commercialism, this appeal makes sense in two respects: first, the most glorious time of the Incas has been seriously reassessed for the first time; second, the "pachacuti", the traditional worldview of the Andes, emerged as an alternative to the current order.
