The
Incas and Their Ancestors: The Archaeology of Peru (Revised Edition)
by Michael
E. Moseley
Book Description: In 1532, when Pizarro conquered Peru,
the Inca realm was one of the largest empires on earth, graced by gold
masterpieces, towns with great palaces and temples, and an impressive network
of roads. But this glittering culture only obscured the rich and diverse
civilizations that had preceded it: Chavin, Moche, Nazca, Tiwanaku, Huari,
and Chimú. Described as a "masterly study" and an "outstanding volume"
on its first publication, The Incas and Their Ancestors quickly established
itself as the best general introduction to the cultures and civilizations
of ancient Peru. Now this classic text has been fully updated for the revised
edition. New discoveries over the last decade are integrated throughout.
The occupation of Peru's desert coast can now be traced back to 12,000
BC and ensuing maritime adaptations are examined in early littoral societies
that mummified their dead and others that were mound builders. The spread
of Andean agriculture is related to fresh data on climate, and protracted
drought is identified as a recurrent contributor to the rise and fall of
civilizations in the Cordillera. The results of recent excavations enliven
understanding of coastal Moche and Nazca societies and the ancient highland
states of Huari and Tiwanaku. Architectural models accompanying burials
provide fresh interpretations of the palaces of imperial Chan Chan, while
the origins of the Incas are given new clarity by a spate of modern research
on America's largest native empire. 225 b/w illustrations.

Moche
Art and Archaeology in Ancient Peru
by Joanne
Pillsbury, National
Gallery of Art
Book Description: Centuries before the rise of the Inca,
the Moche created impressive monumental architecture and precious metal
objects (c. A.D. 100–800). Today, large- scale projects at several sites
in Peru, including the richest unlooted tomb ever discovered in the New
World, have uncovered dramatic new discoveries about this ancient coastal
civilization. This volume discusses the implications of these findings.
A major theme of the book is how the visual arts and political representation
are connected in Moche culture. The contributors pay special attention
to the relations between Moche visual imagery and other kinds of knowledge
gained from the archaeological record. Topics ranging from the nature of
urbanism to Moche portraiture to the visual representation of warfare versus
the physical remains of battles will fascinate not only archaeologists
and art historians but also students and scholars in related disciplines
in the humanities and social sciences.

Secret of the Incas : Myth, Astronomy, and the War Against Time
by William Sullivan
Step by step, Sullivan pieces together the hidden esoteric tradition
of the Andes to uncover the tragic secret of the Incas, a tribe who believed
that, if events in the heavens could influence those on earth, perhaps
the reverse could be true. Anyone who reads this book will never look at
the ruins of the Incas, or at the night sky, the same way again. Amazon.com
