Disorders in Peru.-March to Cuzco.-Encounter with the Natives.—Challcuchima Burnt.-Arrival in Cuzco.—Description of the City.-Treasure Found There. (1533-1534.)

The death of Atahuallpa, the Inca sovereign, marked a pivotal shift in Peruvian history, signaling the end of the Inca dynasty and the establishment of Spanish dominance. This study examines the political and social repercussions of Atahuallpa's execution, highlighting how his demise disrupted the stability of the Inca state and legitimized foreign rule. The research delves into primary historical accounts from 1533-1534, including Prescott's observations on the march to Cuzco, encounters with natives, and the discovery of treasure, providing a detailed narrative of this transformative period. By analyzing these firsthand descriptions, the study offers insights into the collapse of Inca authority and the transition to Spanish colonial rule.
