This title helps you step into the spectacular world of ancient
South America, with 340 exciting pictures and 15 step-by-step
projects. You can journey back through the centuries to a time
before Europeans arrived in search of gold and land. You can
explore the Inca way of life high up in the Andes Mountains,
including their study of the stars, their burial rituals, and the
intricate rope bridges they wove. It features 15 easy-to-do
projects actively involve the reader in understanding the past -
make a reed boat that really floats, eat a delicious Inca bean
stew, sculpt a Tiwanaku pottery jaguar, and design a dazzling sun
god mask. It contains fascinating fact boxes that provide extra
insights and highlight links with the present. It is packed with
over 340 photographs and illustrations, including historical maps
and a pictorial timeline, this is perfect for school or home use by
children aged 8 to 12. Successors to the Chimu gold workers and the
Tiwanaku lake people, the Incas ruled the most spectacular empire
South America has ever seen. The so-called Land of the Sun God was
bright with treasure houses of precious metals, the most fabulous
clothes and huge stone buildings. A variety of step-by-step
projects enable you to bring this past age to life - beat on an
Inca drum, make a model granary, and recreate a Chimu ceremonial
knife. This is the ideal introduction to South American history,
for study, reference and practical learning.
