The Incas and the Horses
The horses are very effective in this early period of keeping the Incas under control and their soldiers at bay. I think they simply didn't realise how serious the Spaniards were. They seem rather paralysed and waiting to see what would happen. The horses should not be underestimated because even today, when you have civil disturbances, horses are still used to intimidate people on foot. And the horses eating metal and being like a cyber being part metal, part being which may be sacred or may is a god or may be a beast, they don't know.
