   Only just learned this guy is called Inti and was the Incan sun god and their highest deity, and he still exists on the Argentine flag among other places.

     I don't feel all that bad about the Inca getting pwned. People will say oh the Spanish are mean, but how do you think the Sapa Inca created his empire in the first place? Doing the same shit as the Spanish. I'm not really that keen on their practice of child sacrifice either, but at least they were slightly more humane than the Aztecs.

     A part of me wanted to try and be contrarian and defend Inca child sacrifice on the grounds of mysticism and Evola spookiness, but this is one area where I can't be ironic and have to say that they were totally wrong and retarded. Entombing kids in a volcano will not grant you a bountiful harvest.

     >The Inca nobility practiced cranial deformation.[62] They wrapped tight cloth straps around the heads of newborns to shape their soft skulls into a more conical form, thus distinguishing the nobility from other social classes.

     >The total collection of the gold, after being melted down into standard ingots, and before division amongst the Spaniards, amounted to 1,326,539 pesos de oro, worth 15,500,000 in 1847 U.S. dollars. This equates to nearly half a billion dollars in today's money.
     Spanish chads robbing the Incans of half a billion dollars and then just garroting their Emperor to death in public and taking over. It doesn't get more badass than this.

     I think I want to do a deep dive on Spanish conquistador exploits. Just sailing off with some of your bros and collapsing the Incan Empire for fun. Can't even imagine.
