The same family kept leading until they had “conquered the 4 quarters of the earth”. (They believed the conquered the whole world.)

The absolute leader was the Sapa Inca (emperor).

They believed the Sapa Inca as the direct descendant of the sun god Inti.

Descendent: people who have the same blood line as the ancestor Descendent: people who have the same blood line as the ancestor. The Sapa Inca believed he was immortal.

Their belief system: They prayed to gods and to their dead ancestors. They mummified the leaders so they could come to ceremonies later on. They even prepared a meal For the dead ancestor!

They believed that their dead rulers still had power to keep the empire strong. http://videos.howstuffworks.com/hsw/10715-peru-incan-mummification-rituals-video.htm

The Setting 1528 – The Incan emperor died from smallpox (1) which was brought by the Spanish. His death sets off a civil war between his sons. Atahualpa won but the empire was weakened (2).

Christopher Columbus had arrived in the Americas and saw rings of gold in the native people’s noses.

The news made other fortune hunters(explorers) come to the Americas to look for gold and jewels (3).

The Incas had never seen white skinned men or horses The Incas had never seen white skinned men or horses. They thought they could be gods (4).

So Atahualpa agreed to meet with Pizarro at Cajamarca So Atahualpa agreed to meet with Pizarro at Cajamarca. They tried to convert him to Christianity.

He said he would fill the room with gold and silver if they would let him go.

Gold was brought from all over the empire until the room was filled. Of course they couldn’t let him live so he was strangled to death. Garrot

The last Incan Emperor was killed in 1572. (The conquest took about 40 years.) It is estimated that 93% of the population dies from disease during that 40 year period. Measles Smallpox
