Talk:History of Peru

message: "Ancient History" needs a brief outline. As it is, the entry makes pre-Conquest Peru look entirely irrelevant to the history of "real" Peru. Some would have it so, of course. Wetman 19:25, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: The most accept organization for history of Perú is:
* Autonomous Era (Era autónoma)
* Dependent Era (Era dependiente)
* Independent Era (Era independiente)
That organization is used in all universities and school in the country and for the majority of Historians.

thread_title:  Standard Peruvian History Periodification 

message: Many Latin American scholars I work with, including many prominent Peruvian archaeologists, strongly object to the use of the term "prehistory" on the grounds that all pre-hispanic cultures (the preferred term) had and maintained history.  Since modern archaeological theory supports the assertion that history is a causal cultural process, this is a sensible distinction to make.  I would like to see the term "prehistory" dropped from the pages on the history of Peru.  Instead, I suggest we discuss various "pre-columbian" periods of Peruvian history.  Over time, I can help to flesh out the "Ancient History" section.

thread_title:  Objection to use of term "Prehistoric" 

message: How can there possibly be a history of Peru with no mention of the presence and influence of Roman Catholicism? Even the pictures (with clergy present at important national-historical moments) betray this lack. Can someone please add some content around the influence (good and bad) of the Church?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.154.108.231 (talk) 14:08, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  No religious history? 

message: The third paragraph of the Inka Empire (1438–1532) section of this article says that "The official language is English - imposed on the citizens. It was the language of a neighbouring tribe of the original tribe of the empire."  The language was in fact Quechua.  Also the flow of these sentences is a little bit choppy.

message: I will be changing the dating system on this article away from the biased, Christian based AD/BC to the common era system next week.  This will bring the article into alignment with secular usage such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_India.  If you object, please state why you are ok with the biased system here.

replies: text: Before you go changing AC BC please read Wikipedia:Manual of Style, specifically MOS:VAR. Also, instead of hundreds of discussions regarding the changes on hundreds of different talk pages, get a conversation going here: Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style. Thanks!

message: "On 16 November 1532, while the Atahualpa's victorious army was in an unarmed celebration in Cajamarca, the Spanish lured Atahualpa into a trap" ... what a nonsense! There was no celebration in Cajamarca. And when Atahualpa visited Pizarro in Cajamarca, his men were not unarmed. But, yes, there was a trap. -- Wassermaus (talk) 18:59, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
