His vision of the trauma of the Conquest is dramatically different than those provided by the Conquistadors and the colonial administrators who came later. See this Royal Library of Denmark holds the manuscript and has put iton line. The Western World became aware of Peru when the Conquistador Francisco Pizarro confronted the Inca Atahualpa in the mountain town of Cajamarca in 1532.

A good strong breeze can wipe away the sand and leave the burial sites and buried treasures exposed. A incident, like the Conquest, can be portrayed in popular consciousness as if it had just happened a few years ago. There are scores of reenactments of this encounter between Atahualpa and Pizarro all across Peru each year. But outsiders should avoid jumping to the conclusion that the Inca or other pre-Colombian cultures are somehow manifest in today's native Peruvians. The Indian woman selling trinkets in the market and her peers are survivors.
