Description: This chapter focuses on discussing the arrival of Spaniards and the Spanish conquest of Peru. This image depicts two conquistadors on the right side of the image, labeled as Sebastian de Benalcazar and Hernando Pizarro. They are illustrated galloping on their horses towards the Inca Emperor, Atawalpa Inca, who is depicted sitting on his royal litter on the left side of the image. The Spaniards and their horses are suited in their armour prepared to fight the emperor to begin their conquest of the empire. Atawalpa Inca and the two men carrying the litter have frightened expressions as they had never seen horses being ridden before. The caption at the bottom of the image identifies the location of this scene. The caption reads, en los banos de caxamarca [at the baths of Cajamarca].
