Hey guys, looking to find a movie I've seen as a kid (so probably late 80's to early 90's, although the movie of course could be older than that) about one of the American civilizations, Maya, Inca, or Aztec - little did I know about any differences between them back then (as presumably did the filmmakers).
The only scene I remember is that in the end, our hero is standing at a cliff, holding something (presumably a headgear) in his hand that would signify his becoming the tribe's leader. He has however learned that that is not a desirable thing (I think because they were too aggressive?) and decides to drop the object into the abyss, whereupon he gets speared by the entire tribe.
Any ideas?
