ReplyDeleteNow, answer the following questions using your own words:

Yes, because Pedro de Cieza de Leon said that anyone will believe him if he told that story, and also because a temple made of gold surprise everyone.
3. Do you think the conquistadors were really interested in Incan art? Explain your answer.
Basically not, because they wanted the gold, silver and emeralds of the temple, but they were also surprised by Incan’s architecture, so maybe they were a little bit interested, but they preferred to melt the gold and carry it to Spain.
4. Describe the temple using your own words in no more than three lines.
There were four houses in the temple, not very large, but recovered with gold.
The walls were also recovered with gold, inside and outside, and there were many doors (also recovered with gold). Inside the temple was the same thing, all was recovered or made of gold, twenty llamas were also inside, and there were a lot of golden statues. (sorry for the 5 lines)

The aztec said that just before dawn a tongue of fire had appeared in the sky. After that, another one said that a house had appeared in the sea and had moved without touching the rocks. Other guy said that creatures that looked like men but acted like gods had came ashore and they had had pale faces.

The guys that had come weren’t gods; they were men from another country, called Spain. Of course, they weren’t monsters, they were mounted on horses. They were not mages, but they had got a thing that the aztecs didn’t know: guns. The fire tongue was a comet, and the house in the sea was a Ship, but Aztecs were confused because they hadn’t seen one of these before.
