Sisällön kuvaus:
IllustratedInca gold no longer lures the conqueror - but the Quechua Indian still guides his Ilamas through the narrow-walled Inca streets ofCuzco, and the lost civilizations of Peru still call to the imagination across the centuries. And with reason - for radiocarbon dating places an embryonic civilization in Peru in 7566 BC, over9,000 years before Pizarro plundered the mature flowering of the Inca Empire. Other, less destructive. visitors have worked since then at Machu Picchu, at Cuzco, at Titicaca and myriad other sites to resurrect the rich variety of Inca and pre-lnca culture wiped out by the Spanish Conquest.The sum of their discoveries, archaeological, historical, artistic, geographical and ethnographical, is surveyed here by J. Alden Mason in a full and fascinating picture of the peoples and country of ancient Peru. In this now classic work their lost civilizations are magnificently rediscovered.
