		At first, Atahuallpa claimed the governorship of his home region of Quito; then he said that his father had split the empire into two, and he was lord of the north; then he campaigned against Huascar for total domination.
		Atahuallpa may have intended to use the Spaniards - and their amazing new horses (which he thought were useless at night) and their arquebus weapons that made the sound of thunder - to establish himself unshakeably as emperor in Cuzco and rebuild the empire.
		Atahuallpa demanded the return of state property that the Spaniards had stolen from storehouses en route, and tossed away the Bible he was proffered.

		Atahuallpa, taking it, turned over the pages a moment, then, as the insuit he had received probably flashed across his mind, he threw it down with vehemence, and exclaimed,--"Tell your comrades that they shall give me an account of their doings in my land.
		Atahuallpa himself had given him the most glowing picture of the wealth of the capital, where the roofs of the temples were plated with gold, while the walls were hung with tapestry and the floors inlaid with tiles of the same precious metal.
		He therefore acquiesced in Atahuallpa's offer, and, drawing a red line along the wall at the height which the Inca had indicated, he caused the terms of the proposal to be duly recorded by the notary.

	Antiquity of Man Inca conquest
		However, Atahuallpa was responding in a way that was natural to a man whose views of his country and the world was shaped by the experience of the Andean highlands.
		While the Spanish stayed near the coast, their small force was of no concern to the emperor because as soon as the Spanish began to move into the mountains they would be delivering themselves into his hands; this is a view also strengthened by the fact that in Inca circles power was derived from numbers.
		Combine these facts with the reality that Atahuallpa had not yet fortified his position as Inca leader and it can be seen why Pizarro was regarded as nothing more than a nuisance and why no attempt was made to attack him and his soldiers.

		Atahuallpa's troops, flushed with recent success, fought with the confidence of those who relied on their superior prowess; while the loyal vassals of the Inca displayed all the self-devotion of men who held their own lives cheap in the service of their master.
