The ceremony was attended by dignitaries from around the world and marked by widespread public mourning, showcasing the fusion of Wechua customs with Alexandrian Nazarene practices. This display of national unity was particularly significant in the wake of the 1718 Condor One shoot-down incident.
Ceremony
The funeral procession began at the Palace of Carranza, where King Manco Cápac I's body lay in state. The casket, draped in the flag of Nouvelle Alexandrie, was carried by members of the royal guard and accompanied by a procession of spiritual leaders from the Faith of Inti, the Church of Alexandria, and the Church of Caputia.
In a nod to Wechua traditions, a ceremonial offering was made to the gods, seeking their protection and guidance for the late king's journey to the afterlife. The offering included symbolic items representing the four elements: earth, water, fire, and air. Traditional Wechua music, played on instruments such as the quena and the zampoña, filled the air as the procession made its way to the Basilica of Saint Alexandra of Cardenas in Cardenas.
At the cathedral, a Nazarene mass was held, led by the Archbishop of Cardenas. Prayers, hymns, and readings from both the Bible and Wechua sacred texts were incorporated into the service, highlighting the fusion of the two faith traditions. The mass concluded with a moving eulogy, delivered by King Sinchi Roca, that celebrated his late father's life and legacy.
Burial
Following the funeral mass at the Cathedral of Saint Sebastian, the casket containing King Manco Cápac I's remains was transported to the Royal Mausoleum of Parap, located in the city of Parap, the capital of the Wechua Nation and the center of Wechua culture. The journey from Cardenas to Parap, covering a distance of 1,988.7 km, involved a dramatic procession along the route, with the King's body traveling by a specially-designed funeral car, accompanied by a parade of vehicles and mourners.
