The Andean remains not only one of the more enigmatic of the so~called lost civilizations, it is also one of the most remote. Its origins date back to 9000 B.C., and, throughout long and stormy centuries, great classical cultures flourished before finally being absorbed, physically and culturally, by the Inca Empire. In tracing the close relationships of the monuments to the societies that produced them, and the environment in which they emerged, we confront the theme of the book: that the Andean people were intent on controlling their environment, one way or another. The so~called monuments include great temples and pyramids, terraces and aqueducts, cities and sanctuaries, as well as smaller works: vases, textiles, sculptures, and literary works. The anthologies, running throughout the volume, tell what many of the early sixteenth and seventeenth century chroniclers observed ~ in songs, poems, prayers, and even in the famous drama Ollantay. Other special features include the chronological chart of pre~Hispanic history, a glossary of important words, descriptions of the Andean Indians as seen through Europeans' eyes, and a unique feature of this series~a list of museums in North America that have collections of art and artifacts from the Andean cultures. The recommended reading section and a map of key Andean sites help round out this volume. Seller Inventory # 7052302
