Riddle Of Last Inca King's Tomb May Be Solved
Riddle Of Last Inca King's Tomb May Be Solved
4:16pm UK, Wednesday February 29, 2012
The last Incan emperor's tomb has remained a mystery for centuries but an expert now believes she may have pinpointed the historic site.
The Inca empire spanned more than 1,000 miles of South America in the 1400s and early 1500s, taking in parts of modern-day Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and Colombia.
Atahualpa was the last of the dynasty and was taken captive during the Spanish conquest in what is now Cajamarca, Peru.
He had just defeated his brother in a violent civil war when the conquistadors arrived in the Andes, quickly capturing him and holding him for ransom.
