Historian Tamara Estupinan carefully leafs through the pages of a 400-year-old, leather-bound book. She stops A ___________________. The faint scrawl has obsessed her for more than 30 years, leading her to find forgotten Inca ruins and sparking an academic firestorm.
The signature is the key to solving two of archaeology’s greatest questions. What happened to the body of Atahualpa, the last king of the Incas? And what became with his fabled treasure?
The story began in 1532 when Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro captured Atahualpa, which is pronounced ah-ta-WAL-pah, in Peru. Pizarro demanded a room full of gold in exchange for Atahualpa’s release, B _____________________. Atahualpa’s body disappeared, and his faithful generals were thought to have stashed the treasure they were hauling in secret caves. For centuries, people have been scouring Ecuador, C _____________________.
However, Estupinan says she knows why the loot will never be found. What Atahualpa’s followers were really hiding was no mere treasure, D ___________________. They were hiding the king’s corpse.
For a new Incan king to be crowned the ceremony had to take place in front of the mummy of the king E ___________________.
Estupinan’s search began with a book and a signature. As a young historian in the 1980s, Estupinan became fascinated with ancient economic texts, like receipts. One day, she stumbled across the will of Atahualpa’s son, Francisco Topatauchi, written on December 16, 1582, 50 years after his father’s death.
Few had learned to read the complicated Spanish writing of the time. It took Estupinan almost a year F __________________.
For Estupinan, there is no doubt about what she found. She thinks she has gone most of the way to prove she is right. However, she needs just a bit more proof, and that proof is Atahualpa’s body.
