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.
The Inca civilization was in South America along the western edge. Pizarro defeated it after promising friendship and attacking. He held the emperor Atahualpa hostage and demanded ransom for his release. When he had enough money, he killed the emperor anyway. The Aztec civilization was in Mexico (North America). 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.

Jimmy Carter himself was never taken hostage, but the Iran Hostage Crisis occurred during his presidency.
Well I've never been one, but if you were held hostage, you would most likely be terrified.
Being held hostage; when it's for money etc. it's called being held for ransom
In 1530, Francisco Pizarro and a small army captured the Inca emperor, Atahualpa(at tah HWAHL pah). By inviting Atahualpa to a meeting, Pizarro managed to attack them. The Incas gave Pizarro a room filled with gold and silver in exchange for their ruler's freedom, but he did not let Atahualpa go. Instead, they executed him and took over. By 1533, Pizarro had also captured the Inca's capital, Cuzco.
No he was never held hostage.
He was the last Inca emperor. He was held for ransom by Franciso Pizarro, the Spanish conqueror, and his men, who managed to extract a "roomful" of gold for his rescue. Atahualpa (not Atahulapa), who was captured by Pizarro by deceit, was executed nonetheless, marking the end of the Inca Empire beginning of the Spanich conquest of Perú.
