THE NATIVE VILLAGE THAT HID HERNANDO DE SOTO’S FIRST CAMP IN AMERICA
THE DISCOVERY DOES NOT MAKE THE CHRONICLES PERFECT
The archaeological confirmation of Capachequi does not mean every detail written by the Spanish is now automatically true.
That would be the wrong lesson.
Written sources can contain exaggerations.
They can misunderstand Native political systems.
They can misrepresent the scale of events.
They can omit violence.
They can emphasize Spanish achievements.
