Talk:Ransom Room

Untitled
This article does not state if the room was finally filled with the gold and silver or not, and if the Spanish ended up taking the gold. It was my understanding that it was filled and then they executed the 'sun god' anyways, but I am not sure.

The "story" told in this article seems to be quite at odds with the one told in Battle of Cajamarca. Basically these two articles seem to tell two completely different stories. That suggests that one or both are wrong. According to the Cajamarca article, the events at the Ransom Room were essentially the final act. Yet this article talks about actions before the Ransom Room, which appear to be a very different telling of the Cajamarca battle. If the events described here are part of Cajamarca, which they seem to be, they need to be moved. In fact, both seem to be at odds with the version in Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire, which leads me to believe they all need serious work. Maury 23:06, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

this Article here says, that Atahualpa was killed on August 29, 1533. His own Article says, he died on July 25, the spanish Article says, July 26th, the german and the italian Article says also 26th July. Where does this 29th August came from? -- Hartmann Schedel  Prost 21:42, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Dollar Value
Couple of concerns. First, why state the amount in 1847 dollars? Second, using an inflation calculator, the 15,500,000 seems low, at only 456,000,000. A room of those dimensions filled with gold to that height should be worth a lot more. Way, way more. The volume was 22 x 17 x 9 = 3,366. In 2010, a cubic foot of gold was worth about $19 million, so that room would be worth $67 billion.
