The Inca ruler who was held hostage by Francisco Pizarro was Atahualpa. He was held prisoner and the Incas were ordered to fill a room full of gold in order for the Spanish to release him. Unfortunately Atahualpa was later executed by the Spanish.

They settled where a eagle preyed on a snake. They sacrificed humans to their god to give him energy (crazy). The Maya lived in North america also, just above the Aztecs.

What is the Atawapa?
Atawallpa (or Atahualpa) was the emperor of the Inca Empire when the Europeans arrived in the 1500s. At the time, the Inca Empire was undergoing a succession crisis (Atawallpa and his brother were fighting over who would become emperor, which generated a civil war). By the time the Spaniards arrived, Atawallpa had succeeded in becoming emperor, but his empire was devastated and weakened. On top of that, the Spaniards had steel weapons and gunpowder, and also brought along a whole lot of European diseases. As a results, even thought there were only a hundred or so Spaniards and thousands of Incas, the Spaniards managed to wiped out a huge part of the Inca population and conquered the Inca Empire relatively quickly. Atawallpa's downfall is linked directly to the leader of the Spanish conquistadors, Fracisco Pizarro. Pizarro and his troops tricked Atawallpa, captured him, held him hostage, forced him to hand over tons of silver to the Europeans, and eventually executed him. For many, Atawallpa's death marked the end of the Inca Empire.
