> Through a mix of crime-lab science, archeology, and history, NOVA
> and National Geographic present new evidence that is changing what
> we know about the final days of the once-mighty Inca Empire. "The
> Great Inca Rebellion" begins in a cemetery crammed with skeletons
> that offer tantalizing clues about a fierce 16th-century battle
> between warriors of the collapsing Inca Empire and Spanish invaders.
> Now, the long-accepted account of a swift Spanish conquest of the
> Inca--achieved with guns, steel, and horses--is being replaced by a
> more complete story based on surprising new evidence, including what
> may be the first gunshot wound in the Americas.
