 The arrival of Spanish conquistadors, led by Francisco Pizarro, in the early 16th century marked a significant turning point in Quechua history. Despite initially peaceful interactions, the Spanish quickly exploited political divisions within the Inca Empire and captured the Inca ruler Atahualpa. This event led to the downfall of the empire and the colonization of the region. The Spanish imposed their culture, religion (Christianity), and economic systems on the indigenous populations, resulting in the suppression of traditional practices and exploitation of labor.
The Quechua people along with Caribbean's  were enslaved and forced to mine Silver from an amazing mountain. A story was told of a devil called El Tío (The Uncle). It is believed in Cerro Rico, Potosí, Bolivia to be the "Lord of the Underworld". There are many statues of this devil-like spirit in the mines of Cerro Rico. El Tío is believed to rule over the mines, simultaneously offering protection and destruction.
