Unlock the mysteries of an ancient civilization through a detailed, image‑driven tour of Inca architecture and faith. This book investigates the ruins and relics of the Andes, pairing careful descriptions with historical context to reveal how the Peruvian temples, doorway sculptures, and ceremonial stones fit into a broader religious world.

This edition zeroes in on the monumental doorway, its carvings, and the way early observers interpreted them. It also threads in ancient accounts and modern observations to connect sacred practices, architectural detail, and the lives of the people who built and used these sites.

Close looks at monolithic doorways, windows, and stonework that hint at the builders’ methods and beliefs

Explanations of Peruvians’ religious system, ceremonies, and how they honored their deities

Comparisons to Egyptian and other ancient practices to illuminate shared ideas about sacred space

Context for the site’s ruins, surrounding plates, and the stories told by early chroniclers

Ideal for readers who enjoy archaeology, travel writing, and the history of the Andes, with a focus on how religion and architecture intertwine in ancient Peru.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ruins of a fascinating ancient temple in Bolivia and examines their connection to the history and traditions of the Peruvian people. Most travelers agree that these ruins are the oldest in the New World, with evidence of advanced artistry not seen elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere. The author draws connections to the ancient Egyptian works and discusses the ruins' intimate relationship with the early and primitive religion of Peru under the Incas. Accounts from old Spanish writers are used to shed light on the probable significance of the monuments, and the author attempts to revive interest in the aboriginal inhabitants of this magnificent country. Through this examination, the book offers valuable insights into the beliefs, culture, artistic achievements, and historical significance of a remarkable ancient civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
