A KING’S RANSOM

South America did have vast resources of gold and silver that could be called upon. When the explorer Francisco Pizarro captured the Inca leader Atahualpa in 1532, he was promised enough gold to fill a large room once over, and enough silver to fill it twice over. Before the full ransom could be paid, Pizarro executed Atahualpa. This has led to the legend of the treasure of Llanganatis, said to be the rest of the promised precious metal that was buried following the slaying of Atahualpa.
