predate the discovery, some of which are are no longer extant. This
text is taken from the 1868 serialization. E. G. Squier was a

Civilization in Peru and Bolivia. He died in 1888.

E G Squier, noted 19th century archeologist and newspaper editor,
was appointed United States Commissioner to Peru in 1863. In that
capacity he traveled extensively in the mountains of Bolivia and
Peru, making the arduous journey across the Andes on the back of a
mule. In his travels he took extensive notes and photographs of the
Inca monuments then extant. This collection is a series that
appeared in 1868, which describes his trip and some of the
monuments that the Incas left behind. Traveling across the
Cordillera Real of Bolivia, Squier takes us to Tiahuanaco
(Tiwanaku) where he examines the precursor of the Inca Empire, its
structure and some of the legends and histories. Then on to The
Sacred Islands of Lake Titicaca, where, according to legends, the
God Viracocha rose up to create the Sun, The Moon, The Stars and
the first Human beings. Then on to the City of the Sun, Cuzco, the
capital of the Inca Empire, to make a thorough examination of
Sacasahuaman, the ancient fortress and palace of the Empire. Then
on to Ollataytambo and the ancient palace and estate of the
Emperor. Squiers articles are as much about the trip as it is about
the ancient history he studies. His comments on the Geography and
scenery paint great pictures of an area that at the time was seldom
visited by Americans. The Natives, Indians and the Conquerors, The
Priests and the Governors are introduced through the fog of typical
American prejudices of the time. He introduces us to a people
considered backward and ill educated. This series is loosely based
on the twelve lecture series he delivered to the Lowell Institute
in 1868.

1851. This volume represents No. 1 of the American Archeological
Researches series. The points in which the author attempts in some
degree to illustrate in the following pages, are the essential
identity of some of the elementary religious conceptions of the
primitive nations of the Old and New Worlds, and the similarity in
their modes of expressing them, or rather the similarity in their
symbolical system, of which Mr. Squier regards as the machinery of
creation, the multiplication of gods, and the investing of them
with attributes, as parts. Illustrated.
