When the Spanish conquered Mexico and Peru, they discovered in the
Aztecs and Incas the latest in a long line of highly civilized
peoples to have inhabited Mesoamerica and the Andes. This book
describes the very different cultural traditions of these two
groups, placing them in their historical and social contexts.
Drawing on a range of material finds, from monumental architecture,
stone carving and sculpture to woven textiles, illustrated codices
and gold masks, the author unlocks some of the elaborate myths and
belief systems that form part of the fascinating background to
pre-Columbian art.
