Another amazing discussion. This is a book of myth I was unaware of and will have to and to my list. South American prehistory is a subject that fascinates me because so much of it was destroyed and lost due to Spanish practices and there is now so much evidence being found revealing that there were far more advanced civilizations than we realized.

@@oldmanandtheread Thank you! Absolutely, I share your passion for South American civilizations. I would really like to read whatever the latest is regarding the work on decoding the Inca quipus at some point soon.
