Book description

For centuries the strange, exotic civilizations of the Aztecs, Mayans and Incas flowered in total seperation from the rest of mankind. then explorers stumbled on great pyramids and temples hidden in the forests of Guatemala and Yucatan, and fortress cities high up in the andes, to find "things that have never been heard or seen before, or even dreamed about".
