Legacy

It would be hard to say what could they left for the future, because they did not discovered the fire or America, they did not invent the wheel or the plane, but they were a huge and powerful civilization that stayed away from our memories and our history.
In fact they were recently discovered, just a hundred years ago we started to hear their echoes again rising from under the land of turkey, when an archeologist trying to find something new put his feet over a great wall which once had 30 feet high and back then and now had only 3 feet high, it was the amazing capital city of hattusa, it is hard to see looking at the horizon, to find it you must know what you look for.

Maybe they were not the firsts one inventing the sword, but they had a lot of knowledge about ferrum handle, they had the most lethal narrows from troy, and horse cars which could as the Egyptians destroy any enemy ahead, their capital was placed in the middle of a cold desert, if any enemy could even get close to the city, they had to fight against 30 feet high and 9 feet de ancho walls full of archers. Whatever, a huge civilization can not be destroy by the outside.

THE PIJAO WARRIORS

Was an indigenous tribe who occupied the Central Mountain range of the andes between the snowed of Huila and Quindio and specially in TOLIMA , they didn´t live in towns.

By the end of century XVI, they prepared a general revolt giving assaults by the nights to the populations by means of ignited arrows. They placed in ambush later to the Spaniards equipping itself in the impenetrable forests; they never let themselves see during the day.

The Yulima priestess, who ran a religious sanctuary pijao in the neighborhoods of Machín volcano, was assaulted by the Spaniards and taken prisoner, being lead chained until Ibagué, in whose main seat she incinerated herself to him lives by the conquerors and while she agonized received blessings of a priest so that its soul flew soon to the sky.

In 1602 the pijaos, directed by Calarcá, initiated a general war against the European. Spanish cities of this region of New Granada like Cartago, Buga, Ibagué, Neiva and La plata, lived by that time a period on terror. When they attacked cities, they ignited bonfires in decided signal to summon the soldiers. Supposedly the pijaos were anthropophagous and marked the ways with bones of the enemies. The pijaos finally were defeated in 1608 when the Spaniards gained the collaboration of a known indigenous leader like Don Balthasar and in addition, advanced a devastated earth war, in which they burned the cultures of the pijaos. A sad end for this colombian tribe proud of their culture and their race.
