Hi 'Nando,

Sorry, I did not mean to create some confusion with my hint to the Inka high culture. Of course they - gathering from all we know - did not use firearms, they only got acquainted to them thru the Spaniards.

I just wanted to avoid making the Inka culture appear inferior to that of the Spaniards in general, though the Inkas' warfare obviously was inferior to the Spanish one.

Best, my Portuguese friend, from Lower Bavaria,
Michl
