In 1532 Francisco Pizarro, the leader of the Spanish Conquistadors,
arrived by sea in the land of the Incas with a small army to
subjugate the region and send what riches he found there back to
Spain. Pizarro and his two brothers were fearsome warriors, and his
first act was to capture the Inca Emperor Atahuallpa and demand a
ransom of twenty-four tons of gold. The ransom was paid, but
Pizarro strangled the Emperor anyway. The most prized and revered
object the Incas had was a solid-gold statue of Inti the Sun god,
seen by the Inca people as the giver and supporter of all life. It
had to be protected from the Spanish looters and so twenty young
men and two high priests from the temple in Cuzco spirited away the
one-ton solid-gold statue to a place of safety. Later, one of the
surviving high priests left a series of clues and it is here,
almost five hundred years later that our story begins."
