Some of the most interesting and mysterious people of the ancient world were the Incas. They were located in South America, primarily in Peru. The author was once the curator of Peruvian Archaeology at a major museum, so had access to many artifacts that are displayed in this book. We are shown what life was like for an ancient Incan warrior, priest, astronomer, housewife or leader. Also covered are the mysterious ruins of Tiahuanaco, the huge network of ancient Inca Roads, and their method of record-keeping, without using any written language, is revealed.

"The builders were not in search of fields. There is so little arable land here that every square yard of earth had to be terraced in order to provide food for the inhabitants. They were not looking for comfort or convenience. Safety was their primary consideration. They were sufficiently civilized to practice intensive agriculture, sufficiently skillful to equal the best masonry the world has ever seen, sufficiently ingenious to make delicate bronzes, and sufficiently advanced in art to realize the beauty of simplicity. What could have induced such a people to select this remote fastness of the Andes, with all its disadvantages, as the site for their capital, unless they were fleeing from powerful enemies."

Inca Land is a collection of photos and illustrations of Peru by adventurer Hiram Bingham. Bingham has been cited as one possible basis for the "Indiana Jones" character. He rediscovered the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in 1911 with the guidance of local Indigenous farmers. Machu Picchu has become one of the major tourist attractions in South America. In 2006, Machu Picchu was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.

Excerpt from Inca Land: Explorations in the Highlands of Peru The following pages represent some of the results of four journeys into the interior of Peru and also many explorations into the labyrinth of early writings which treat of the Incas and their Land. Although my travels covered only a part of southern Peru, they took me into every variety of climate and forced me to camp at almost every altitude at which men have constructed houses or erected tents in the Western Hemisphere - from sea level up to 21,703 feet. It has been my lot to cross bleak Andean passes, where there are heavy snowfalls and low temperatures, as well as to wend my way through gigantic canyons into the dense jungles of the Amazon Basin, as hot and humid a region as exists anywhere in the world. The Incas lived in a land of violent contrasts. No deserts in the world have less vegetation than those of Sihuas and Majes; no luxuriant tropical valleys have more plant life than the jungles of Conservidayoc. In Inca Land one may pass from glaciers to tree ferns within a few hours. So also in the labyrinth of contemporary chronicles of the last of the Incas - no historians go more rapidly from fact to fancy, from accurate observation to grotesque imagination; no writers omit important details and give conflicting statements with greater frequency. The story of the Incas is still in a maze of doubt and contradiction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
