Yes, many Incas initially believed that the Spanish conquistadors were deities due to their advanced weaponry, horses, and the timing of their arrival, which coincided with prophecies about the return of the god Viracocha. The Incas had a rich mythology and often interpreted unusual events or encounters through a religious lens. This misconception contributed to the Spaniards' initial successes in conquering the Inca Empire, as some leaders and groups did not resist what they perceived as a divine presence. However, as the Spanish actions became clearer, this belief diminished.

Pizarro and his fellow Spanish would take the gold from the Inca by using taxation called the REPARTO also because the Inca thought the Spanish where Gods much of the gold was given to them by the Inca people who hoped it would "Please the Gods". The Spanish would also get gold by going door to door and forcing Inca people to by certain goods and unfair prices weather they needed them or not. The final way they got the gold was just by plain old stealing it while raiding and laying siege to the Inca cities
