Yes! I think the humor works well because 1) quite a bit of time has passed and of course 2) your writing has humor!
Possibly the best example of employing your humor to elucidate, is when you described Pizarro’s conquest of the Inca ruler Atahualpa. Pizarro had 168 men, Atahualpa had 80,000. And Pizarro one. You made the analogy that the average Chili’s restaurant can hold 168 people, and imagine 168 armed diners at Chili’s with 80,000 warriors outside.
In short – Pizarro had microbes on his side, which was perhaps the one deciding factor. Plagues felled the Romans, not bravery or superior armies, and plagues felled Atahualpa.
Any case – your book is en route to a minimum 5 stars out of 5!
