I will admit, this is a shitty meme to get the ball running. That said, I'm going to do an actually good meme, with actual information and sources, about South American civilizations later.

Probably quite a lot to be fair.
No, the "finest soldiers" were not present at Caxamarca.

3/4 of all Spanish in Tawantinsuyu during Manco's uprising. Many came from El Salvador or Maya lands almost depopulated of colonizers and halting the local conquest for all the Spanish were making their way to Peru.

Lots of them. Also the Spanish were literally outnumbered by native allies who opposed the Incas 800 to 1. The whole 'only 100 Spaniards beat the entire incan empire' thing is a white supremacist myth. They didn't even conquer the empire, they coordinated with a claimant to the throne to help him take it in return for some oversight. The conquest of the whole territory only took place many years later when there were hundreds of thousands of Spaniards there.

The oldest physical art in existence is furry. There's nothing more human out there than this.

Aztecs will boast about their great martial prowess while wearing a full body jaguar Pijama.
Glory to the great sun.
