And he enters the courtyard and the Spaniards obviously saw him coming. And so what they did was they set up their cannons and their gunners and everything around the courtyard. And the Inca had never seen a firearm of any kind. And I'm going somewhere with this.

And the Inca, he's marched into the plaza, sitting on his litter, being carried, the servants are carrying him on their shoulders, and he's sitting up on his litter. And there were so many Inca, they crammed into this plaza so they could barely move. And Pizarro sent out his priest, and the priest walks up to the Sapa Inca, the Inca king, with the Bible.

And he hands him the Bible and basically, you know, submit, submit to the Spanish crown and the church in Rome. And Atahualpa takes the Bible and he doesn't know what he's never seen a book before. And he looks at it, he throws it on the ground. And this gives Pizarro the pretext to open fire. They open fire. And they're unarmed, by the way.

There's just a bunch of Inca men crammed into this courtyard. And the Spanish open fire and the cavalry charge. And they capture Atahualpa. They slaughter all the guys in the courtyard. They capture the Sapa Inca. This is like, they realize later that this is like chess, where if you capture the king, game over. The pieces don't move on the board anymore.

This is part of the reason why the Spaniards were able to conquer the Inca with such ease. Part of the reason is because they checkmated the Inca early on at Cajamarca. They captured the king. In the Inca, the mechanism of the empire didn't work without the king, without the Sapa Inca. So they capture Atahualpa, long story short there, what happens next is what's called the ransom of Atahualpa.

And Atahualpa tries to ransom his life by prompt, once he realized that the Spaniards wanted gold, he famously boasted to them that he could fill a room with gold and he put a marking up on the wall, I could fill this room with gold up to here and these two rooms with silver.

If you'll trade me for this, but you know as a ransom negotiation so the the um the Conquistadors pisada and the conquistadors agreed to this. That's why they're there, right? They want gold So alto walpa starts he puts the word out and they start bringing the gold and silver and he nearly does it He nearly fills these two rooms these three rooms up with gold and silver but

Pissarro knows that this is the king, this is the most critical piece on the board, right? He's not going to let Atahualpa go free, so he has him executed. And I should say, just as a side note, Atahualpa and Pissarro became very good friends. Pissarro wept at his execution, had him convert to Christianity so he could be strangled rather than burned at the stake, had him baptized.
