Publisher Comments:

Delve into the forgotten dimension of ancient Native American life, culture, and spirituality. Filled with unique and previously unpublished research and based on the findings of many scholars, scientists, and explorers, this fascinating survey offers a well-rounded portrait of an enigmatic world. Consider evidence about the origins of the Native American people, including the earliest accepted and disputed signs of their presence. Examine the myth-worlds and religions of the Native Americans, including Shamanism and the widespread use of mind-altering plants. Find out what is known about such lost civilizations as the Olmec, Maya, Inca, and Anasazi. Look at the role astronomy, rock art, and sacred landscapes played in these civilizations, and investigate one of the greatest puzzles in ancient America-the existence of curious ground markings, including the famous Nazca lines. Finally, identify some of the vestigial survivals of ancient traditions and practices in modern Native American culture.

This book was recommended to me by a friend and it was a good recommendation. We hear and read all the time about the ancient past of Europeans, Asians, Africans and others, but it is rare to read a whole book devoted to the Americas' ancient peoples. There are a lot of theories which Mr. Devereux throws out for you as to how they got here, where their knowledge came from, etc. and you have to decide which best resonates with you, but is sure is nice to have it all in one book instead of scattered here and there.
