yes, alot of it. the incas had more gold than any other native American tribe.

but then Spain took almost all of it. and eventually destroyed the economy of Spain with all the gold, silver and other precious metals they were bringing in from the Americas.

there was this rumor that Spaniards made when they first discovered how much gold the incas had, that they started saying you could build an entire bridge made out of gold all the way from (what is know Peru) all the way across the ocean to Spain.
