In 462 Hurin broke the siege of Barad Eithel in which his father was slain, and with Huor he led the Edain in the Union of Maedhros and the Nirnaeth Arnoediad.
He was called Hurin Thalion and Hurin the Steadfast, for his sacrifice to save Gondolin, his refusal to retreat from his homeland and his fortitude in bearing the torment of Morgoth and his doom, the greatest of undeserved ruins suffered by any among the Edain.
A mighty warrior (probably with Hurin the mightiest of his line) and a noble man, Turin was marred by the griefs of his life (not the least of which was his lifelong uncertainty about his mother's welfare) and the curse of Morgoth, and he tended to be excessive in anger and sorrow.

In the other foundation myth, the sun god Inti ordered Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo to emerge from the depths of Lake Titicaca and found the city of Cuzco.
They traveled by means of underground caves until reaching Cuzco where they established Hurin Cuzco, or first dynasty of Cuzco.
We know of these myths in part because Christian priests sometimes described Inca books before burning them, mostly to establish how wicked the Inca were and to ridicule their creation myths.

 Do Balrogs have wings, and can they fly? (The Truth About Balrogs, Vol. 6)
The VERY few references to 'trolls' in the draft materials for The Silmarillion might be taken as figurative descriptions (Morgoth calls Turgon a 'troll' for instance') as the creatures themselves are never seen, and it is thus entirely possible that Christopher inserted this bit himself to introduce LotR's trolls into the earlier stories.
In several earlier variants of this passage Hurin is pulled down by Orcs.
Still, it is also possible that JRRT made this change himself on a late manuscript which was used for the published version.
