What does it mean when Honduran's touch their finger below their eye?
Hand and body language is important to communication. Waving the index finger is often used to say "no." Clasping both hands indicates strong approval. Touching the finger below the eye warns caution. And a hand placed under an elbow usually means someone is thought to be stingy. People commonly point with their lips or chin because pointing with the index finger is rude. Beckoning with the index finger also is rude, so people beckon by waving the hand with the palm facing down. To express enthusiasm, they place their middle finger and thumb together and shake their hand, producing a snapping noise. Poorer people tend to avoid eye contact when conversing. Urban gang members have complicated hand signals that they use to communicate with each other from afar. These signs should not be imitated.

What were major cities like for the Inca?
There is a reason why the Spanish wanted to conquer the Inkas as well as the Mayans and Aztecs: Amazingly, beautifully, great cities.
Main cities had architecture beyond any civilization at that time. They did not use mortar or other cement-like pavement, instead by placing each rock in a perfect way they were able to build temples and cities that could sustain earthquakes. Designed in the perfect way they brought out the Spaniards' greed in their eyes.
The Spanish conquistador Cristobal Colon, who landed in Honduras in his third and last trip.
