The Order of Santiago was a Catholic order to protect Catholic pilgrims going to protect Christendom... also an organization that outright banned Jews from ever joining...

So what if Pizzarro was a Jew. The Spaniards conquered the Incan empire. If he was a Jew he was a very poor Jew at expanding the Jewish religion as when he went conquering he took Catholic missionaries with him to convert the Incans into Catholics and they did a very thorough job doing it as Peru now is a Catholic country, NOT A JEWISH COUNTRY.

If it is a cloaked agenda it sure is a long, long term plan.

The idea is not to take things out of history books and replace them with stories because they're more interesting. The idea is to find out what actually might have happened and put that in the history books.
Did leprechauns destroy the Incas? Interesting theory, and certainly more fun than the old "they were destroyed because of disease and a lack of fresh water" theories. Let's put that on in, instead!
Six-pointed three-leaf clover! That's proof of your leprechauns right there!
