El Lado Oscuro de Lima: Lo que la Inquisición no quería que supieras

Have you ever been to Plaza del Congreso in downtown Lima? For 250 years, the most feared institution in our history operated there: the Tribunal of the Holy Office. In this video, we set aside the myths to tell you the stark truth. They didn't just persecute "witches"; the Inquisition in Lima was a perfect machine of espionage, social control, and a multi-million dollar business based on the confiscation of property. 🔍 In this episode of Stories with Eli, we'll discover: The Network of "Informants": How your own neighbors could be spies (family members) for the Church. The Engineering of Pain: An analysis of the Garrucha, the Rack, and waterboarding. The Great Robbery: The story of Manuel Bautista Pérez, the richest man in Lima who lost everything. The False Saint: The scandal of Ángela de Carranza and her fraudulent "miracles."
