The connection of two civilizations gave the world new lands, new knowledge and new gods. The European conquerors thirsted for the glory and riches of the New World, spiking fear and horror into Indian tribes. The Indians’ cruel gods accustomed them to the divine nature of all disasters, and so, no matter how cruel and inhuman the newcomers’ actions were, their divine nature did not give rise to doubt. New gods immediately found their place in the pantheon of pagan idols, showing the world the deity wearing a conquistador helmet.
