The Treasure of the Incas

Hardcover (Foulsham )
When Spanish conquistadors led by Francisco Pizarro captured Atahualpa, Emperor of the Inca, in 1532, they were shocked when Atahualpa offered to fill a large room half full with gold and twice over with silver as a ransom. They were even more shocked when Atahualpa delivered: gold and silver began arriving daily, brought by the Inca's subjects. Later, the sacking of cities such as Cuzco earned the greedy Spaniards even more gold. Where did this treasure come from and what became of it?
