The heroic story relates the adventures and the life of Sunjata (otherwise called Sundiata or Son-Jara) from his youth when, as a result of a curse, he could not walk only crawl, to his banishment with his family, and lastly to his turning into the triumphant King of the Mandinka and extending his empire.

Gautama is the founder of the religion Buddhism that originated in India. A Buddhist, follower of Buddhism, spends their whole life trying to escape samsara and reach nirvana. The journey to nirvana for a Buddhist can only be achieved by them self. The book Siddhartha is about a boy that goes on a journey to become enlightened. The boy, Siddhartha, has to overcome a lot before he settles back at the river he once crossed and finds nirvana.

Like many Bildungsromans, Siddhartha is separated into stages, with a single event signalling the end of one stage and the start of the next. The most significant of these events is easily Siddhartha's attempted suicide.

He appointed on of his sons to rule after he died, but as Huayna died of small pox in 1528, so did his elected son, Ninan Cuyuchi. Due to this sudden lack of leadership two of his other sons jumped into action to claim the throne. One, the favored son, Atahualpa ruled in the north, and his older half brother, Huascar, ruled in the south until it came to a full on civil war that lasted six years. In the end Atahualpa won the war and killed his half brother, his family, historians, and destroyed the Incan Quipu records.
