Rich in gold, how did the legendary Inca Empire fall?

It is not clear to me how the Inca Empire fell. But resources have always been the object of contention, not to mention the abundance of **. I think it should be out of covetousness for **, which led to the tragedy of the fall of this empire.

The legendary Inca Empire finally fell because of their greed, their desires, and their demand for **, which was actually very large, and then it was transported out, resulting in a decrease in the country's ** reserves.

Due to the abundance of the Inca, the Inca empire still chose to expand in the face of the Spanish attack, and was finally destroyed by the Spanish colonists.

Because of the problems in the internal management of the Inca Empire, the large number of heirs caused many civil wars, and it was destroyed by Spain in blind expansion.

The Inca Empire was finally wiped out by the Spanish colonists, the Inca Empire was a country on the west coast of South America, due to its abundance of **, ushered in the prying eyes of the Spanish colonists, and at the same time, the Unca Empire's own uncontrolled expansion led to civil strife, and was finally destroyed by the Spanish colonists.

Legend has it that the Incas had 12 rulers before their demise, and the 8th king of the early 15th century, Viracocha (?). reigned 1437), the power of the Incas grew stronger in the Andes, and from this time on, the Inca kings had a more accurate historical chronology. As the Inca became more and more powerful, by the time of the 9th king Pachacuti (r. 1438 1471), he began to wage wars against foreign countries, conquering Abankai, Chanca, Cajamarca, Nazca, Lima, Chimu, etc., and the territory was constantly expanding, and it had expanded to Quito to the north; To the south, we reached the Maurai River.

The Incas eventually conquered the entire central region of the Indian Mountains and established the powerful Inca Empire. His son, Topa Inca Yupanqui (r. 1471-1493), conquered the Chimu culture region (present-day Ecuador) and later expanded into the southern coastal region of Peru. At the beginning of the 16th century, under the 11th king Vaina Capac (r. 1493-1525), the Incas conquered the entire Andean region and established a powerful state, which had expanded to an area of more than 2 million square kilometers, forming an unprecedentedly powerful empire in the Americas with a population of more than 4,000 kilometers from north to south and a population of more than 6 million.

Under the reign of Vajna Capac, the empire reached its zenith.

The development of gold and silver craftsmanship in the Inca Empire is almost close to mythology. It is said that the Sun Temple in Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire, is built and decorated with ** masonry inside and out. In the garden of the temple, all the plants, flowers, and birds were also imitated with gold and silver, which shows the wealth of the empire and the prosperity of goldsmithing.

It is precisely because of this that the Inca Empire was once regarded by the Spanish colonizers as the legendary "country of **". Due to the frenzied looting and destruction, we can see not many examples of Inca gold design today, but there are still many works created by the Kimu people, who predated the Incas and also achieved a high level of metalworking skills.
