Griffin Rowe examines the 1532 ambush at Cajamarca, where 168 Spaniards captured Inca emperor Atahuallpa. The episode explores the ransom—a room filled with gold—and its devastating aftermath: sacred treasures melted into bars, a promise betrayed, and the beginning of a civilization's collapse. A haunting meditation on greed, desacralization, and imperial conquest.
