'The exhibition is now over, but the splendid book lives on.' 'A
delightful, very readable eyecandy dive in the history of the
cultures of Peru' 'An excellent book as you would expect from the
British Museum, and a delight to dive into.' -- Sacred Hoop
Magazine, March 2022 The environments of the Central Andean region
in Peru, South America, are some of the most geographically rich
and diverse in the world. This publication highlights the history,
beliefs and cultural achievements of the different peoples who
lived in these remarkable landscapes from 1500 BC to the arrival of
Europeans in the 1500s, and the importance of their legacy up until
today. Over thousands of years, the people of the Andes have
approached agriculture, economy, gender, power and belief in
fascinating ways. Many archaeological sites in Peru are uniquely
preserved, and the book discusses key examples with a thematic and
geographical approach. The vibrant and varied material depicted
includes ceramics, colourful textiles, golden objects and wooden
carvings, drawn from the British Museum and museums and collections
in Peru and beyond. When juxtaposed with breathtaking photography
of archaeological sites and landscapes, they reveal new narratives
about the country's rich history.
