How did huayna capac's decision to divide the incan empire between two of his sons contribute to its downfall

This contributed to the downfall because Civil war between the two sides weakened the military. The two sons were able to reign over their separate halves peacefully for nearly five years before Huascar Inca thought differently. He secured power in Cuzco and then went on to have Atahualpa, his brother, arrested. Atahualpa was able to escape his imprisonment with his wife's help and he began to make sure he had support from Huayna Capac's best generals. Atahualpa rebelled strongly against his brother and in the end he won the civil war, he even imprisoned Huascar near the end of the war. hope this helps

the exact role and status of women in the roman world, and indeed in most ancient societies, has often been obscured by the biases of both ancient male writers and 19-20th century ce male scholars, a situation only relatively recently redressed by modern scholarship which has sought to more objectively assess women's status, rights, duties, representation in the arts, and daily lives; and all this from almost exclusively male source material dealing with a male-dominated roman world.

women in mythology

unlike some other ancient cultures such as the greeks who had formed a creation myth where woman was a creature secondary to man and, more specifically, in the form of pandora, a bringer of unhappiness and vices, the romans had a more neutral approach where humanity, and not specifically the male, was created by the gods from earth and water. ovid's metamorphoses, for example, does not specify whether the first human was a man or a woman. at least in a physical sense then men and women were not regarded as belonging to a different species as in the greek world, a view often reiterated in roman medical treatises.
