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.
