Flag of the Inca Empire

This is the flag of the Inca Empire. It comes from a world where the Inca were able to defeat Pizarro and his troops, and resisted Spanish conquest. The naturally mountainous terrain of the Andes helped give the Inca a considerable boost in self-defense against other European powers. The Inca played the various European powers off of each other to preserve their independence. The Inca initially considered a policy of isolationism, but this would prove untenable. Though, initially, the Inca limited their interactions with the Europeans as much as possible. 

As time went on, the Inca began to study and replicate European technology and ideas. The first major change being the introduction of gunpowder weaponry, and the establishment of permeant standing army. The Inca also established a formal written language; with its alphabet largely based on the Latin Alphabet, but with some unique flourishes. The Inca had been ravaged by smallpox, and other Europeans diseases, though not quite to the extent they were in our world. Naturally, the Inca sought out the vaccine for smallpox as soon as it became available in the 18th Century.  The 19th Century saw the next major wave of reforms. The Incan government reformed into a parliamentary democracy, with limits set on the Sapa Inca’s powers. The first stages of industrialization also began at this time. The Inca adopted Western styles of clothing, but mixed in their own designs and color choices. Indeed, to this day, the Incan clothing is known for its unique mix of Western and Indigenous designs. However, more traditional style clothing can be found at important events, such as major religious festivals, or the crowning of a new Sapa Inca.   Today, the Inca Empire is a prosperous modern nation. Cusco, the nation capital, is a true global city. It is home to several universities, museums and art galleries, restaurants, and temples that are the envy of the world. The Quechua people are the largest ethnic group within the empire. However, the empire is home to many other ethnic groups including, among others, Aymara, Mapuche, Wayuu, Het, Polynesians, and even Amazonian tribes. The Inca Empire also receives many immigrants from around the world.   Incan citizens enjoy a very generous social safety net. Government-funded healthcare is provided to all citizens, though private insurance also exists. The Department of Employment provides jobs to all citizens who find themselves unemployed. In the event that a citizen cannot fulfill any available jobs, they are instead given a welfare payment until new jobs become available. The Department of Culture helps provide funding for the arts. Some citizens, of course, cannot attend performances of the arts due to their financial circumstances. In this case, they can apply for free vouchers from the Department of Culture. This all means that most Inca citizens have fairly high taxes, but most consider the trade-off worth it.   The flag includes a stylized depiction of the sun god Inti. The Inca still largely follow their traditional religion; though secularism is on the rise. The blue symbolizes how the same blue sky stretches over all parts of the empire. In the corners of the flag are four chakana; a common geometric shape found in art across various Andes Civilizations. They are in the four corners of the flag in reference to the Inca Empire’s official name, Tawantinsuyu, which means Land of the Four Corners.

"why is there so much 3 everywhere? 3 posters? 3 everywhere on the ship? this can’t be just some “holy trinity” right ?”

kojima:

The Inca believed that the Chakana was a bridge between the three worlds; the world of Gods or what we think of as Heaven, the world of Man; or Earth, and the world of the Dead; or the spiritual realm, which is why each side of the chakana is a 3-stepped pyramid.

What do you do when you're stuck in a foreign country with your friends? Get matching tattoos!! The stepped cross with four corners, ridged with three steps each is called the Inca cross or “Chacana”. The Chakana symbolizes the dynamic between the universe and the life it contains. The Inca believed that the Chakana was a bridge between the three worlds - the world of the gods, the physical realm of man, and the spiritual realm. I chose the Inca tattoo for my deep spirituality and connection to God and the universe, as a symbol of my love for my mother, whose name is Inca, and as a constant reminder of this epic trip to Peru with my friends - a trip in which I pushed myself beyond limitations I didn't think I was capable of surpassing. My first tattoo and I LOVEEEE it! Muchas gracias @luque.skywalker!!!

Understand That historians base our ancient civilizations in America on the location instead of the people who make them up...So the olmec,Aztec, Mayans, inca, all have groups of the same people within them,it's just other groups might mix in[Pacific islanders, north American Indians etc...]

La Chakana

The Crux, commonly referred to as the Southern Cross, is the smallest and most definitive constellation of the Southern Hemisphere. A group of four main stars, the constellation may be used to find the cardinal points. Such importance is reflected in the multiple representation of the Crux, including the Australian, Brazilian, New Zealander, and Mercosur flags. This prominence is reflected in Andean culture, where the four points of the Crux are apparent in one of the region’s prevalent symbols, the Chakana.

Originating from chakay, meaning "to cross" in Quechua, the chakana is rooted in its astrological beginnings, but its significance is more extensive. Corresponding to Incan mythology, the cross incorporates the three Incan tiers: Uqhu Pacha, underworld of death, Kay Pacha, world of the living, and Hanan Pacha, celestial world of the gods. These tiers may also be redefined as: underground, earth, and sky; snake, puma, and condor among the sacred animals of the Inca; or village, Sapa Inca, and temple for dividing the Incan harvest.

The four arms of the chakana equate to the cardinal points, or may designate the four provinces of Tawantinsuyu, while the circle represents Qosqo and the circle of life. The twelve peripheral points mark the months in a year. The lines which run vertically through the symbol represent interconnectivity between the worlds while horizontal lines are the bonds which unite those within each world.

The frequency and popularity of the chakana in Andean art and society from antiquity to modern day is a testament to the symbol’s broad significance.

i'm trying to not look up the chakana cross deeper (bridge in quechua). because we were basically musing about the meaning of only bridget wearing purple in the entirety of death stranding.

evidently. it appears to have meaning. just like the quipu used by the inca. purple carries strong meaning toward the founding mother of the incas, Mama Uqllu, she also told the art of spinning threads

now i'm terrified because, the chakana cross looks exactly like the strange new odradek that higgs-amelie has. and it specifically is heavy with meaning regarding the 3 differents worlds afterlife ect, regarding the sun, regarding 3 different animals, snake, condor, puma when ALL of this is relevant to myths that were already implied before.

KOJIMA?!?!?!?@?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Cruz Andina - Incas / Cruz Quadrada - Chakana Das Loucuras (vive dizendo que isso e aquilo...) Segue consigo conciso dos crepúsculos às auroras, Mas é impreciso no tiro, na escultura, na fôrma e forma... Quer trocar a flecha por dois trilhões de metralhadoras. Um dia sim e outro também – isso é icônico –, A labuta passa a ser sua dona... Essa é sua forma de viver – doido adoidado –, E assim seu fardo é lacônico... Agora, pode-se dizer que logo mais os seus anseios Ficarão ainda mais anabolizados. Sigo seguindo o fluxo do meu desleixo, Continuo no contínuo da existência – choro e sorrio, Sou preciso no que não quero, Mas o que desejo, ao vento eu deixo. Invento hobbies e crio paixões,  Às vezes até moldo limitações... Fortaleço-me e obedeço Fielmente as minhas ações. Não me torno falso, Torno-me um Eu que surfo no meu rio; Assim sou do Rio - quente e frio -, Sou do Ceará e desse momento... Tentando ser água, fumaça, Vitória e fracasso, Latão ou aço... Mas – na medida do possível – preparado e atento Para o que surgirá no amanhã, no próximo passo.  Com café expresso, expresso experiências, Conseguindo me expressar como posso. Nem aves em gaiolas, nem uvas no cacho, Acho que no jardim tem hortênsias... E as boas e belas adormecidas, Posso ouvi-las – nada mal, Nesse momento o cantar Remete-me a Diana Krall. Tento ouvir de tudo, Pois tudo é eco no beco escuro de um poço. Vossa Excelência fez a carne, Moldou a alma e fortaleceu o osso. Alguém fez esse mundo com esmero, E pitadas de loucura e envergadura. Surge a esperança, e espero De tal maneira para mim, de outras tantas ao povo, Que luta, labuta, Descansa, dança e faz trança,  Pinta o rosto Firme no posto Para o combate da vida dura.
