This article does not state if the room was finally filled with the gold and silver or not, and if the Spanish ended up taking the gold. It was my understanding that it was filled and then they executed the 'sun god' anyways, but I am not sure.


The "story" told in this article seems to be quite at odds with the one told in Battle of Cajamarca. Basically these two articles seem to tell two completely different stories. That suggests that one or both are wrong. According to the Cajamarca article, the events at the Ransom Room were essentially the final act. Yet this article talks about actions before the Ransom Room, which appear to be a very different telling of the Cajamarca battle. If the events described here are part of Cajamarca, which they seem to be, they need to be moved. In fact, both seem to be at odds with the version in Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, which leads me to believe they all need serious work. Maury 23:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
