About this title

Synopsis

Reviews

The Peruvian site of Tucume encompasses an amazing 26 pyramids, but it went largely unrecognized until Heyerdahl's interest was ignited in 1988. The resulting archaeological activity is recorded here by Heyerdahl and his coauthors in a straightforward account of excavations undertaken by their team. One of them steps in to interpret the cultural significance of their findings; another looks at the greater implications of the architectural site, the fascinating pyramid structures, and impressive artifacts uncovered. The most exciting discoveries are linked to Heyerdahl's inquiry regarding possible ocean travel and boatbuilding by early inhabitants of Tucume. Among the finds were stunning friezes depicting birdmen piloting reed boats amid anthropomorphic waves. Alice Joyce
