Iscuss the fates of the Inca and Aztec capitals at the hands of Spanish colonizers, and explain how the Spanish treatment of indigenous culture differs from syncretic efforts of other victors in cultural competition

Please provide the best answer for the statement

1)One of the most elaborately decorated of all Inca sites was Cuzco’s Coricancha (literally, “the corral of gold”), the Inca Temple of the Sun facing the plaza. Dedicated to Inti, the sun god, the original temple was decorated with 700 sheets of gold studded with emeralds and turquoise and designed to reflect the sunlight admitted through its windows. Its courtyard was filled with golden statuary. After their conquest of Peru, the Spanish quickly adapted the foundations of the Inca temple to their own purposes, constructing a Dominican church and monastery on the original Inca foundations. The Inca traditionally gathered to worship at the curved, circular wall of the Coricancha, and thus the apse of Santo Domingo was purposefully constructed above it to emphasize Christian control of the native site.
2) But where the Spanish in Peru incorporated Inca stone masonry into their own colonial architecture—the streets of Cuzco are lined to this day with original stone walls—in Mexico, they would obliterate the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán altogether. Even the giant temple in the heart of the city, the Templo Mayor, was brought to ruin, the Spanish building the capital of what they called New Spain atop its rubble. Not until 1978, when workers digging for an electric company excavated a huge disk more than 10 feet in diameter and weighing 8.5 tons, did researchers determine where the temple originally stood, just to the northeast of the Zócalo, the main square of modern Mexico City.
3) Students’ examples of true syncretism will vary but should suggest that not all victors in culture competition demolished predecessors with such thoroughness. One example might be the early Christian use of religious symbol and ritual from pagan Roman practice and the cult of Mithras.
