Excerpt from History of the Indians of North and South America When America was first discovered, it was found to be inhabited by a race of men different from any already known. They were called Indians, from the West Indies, where they were first seen, and which Columbus, according to the common opinion of that age, sup posed to be a part of the East Indies. On exploring the coasts and the interior of the vast continent, the same singular people, in different varieties, were every where discovered. Their general conformation and features, character, habits, and customs were too evidently alike not to render it proper to class them under the same common name; and yet there were sufficient diversities, in these respects, to allow of grouping them in minor divisions, as families or tribes. These frequently took their names from the parts of the country where they lived. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Ancient Scripts in South America is about the history of writing in South America. This is the first book to discuss and explain the long history of writing in Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. It explains how the Sumerians, came to Bolivia-Peru in search of minerals, and named the new mining area Kuga-Ki, because of the large tin deposits in the region. It shows how the people of Bolivia-Peru from Sumerian times up to the Inca used Proto-Sumerian linear signs to write inscriptions on paper, leaves and stones. In Ancient Scripts in South America, I explain my decipherment of the inscriptions on the Fuente Magna Bowl, Pokotia statue and the writing on the mantas (robes) of Incan Kings. The book will also report on the Axumite writing used by the Moche, and the Malian inscriptions found throughout South America-even at NASCA. Ancient Scripts in South America is the most comprehensive book on Native American writing in South America today. It proves that the Maya and Olmec were not the only Native Americans to possess their own writing systems.

Excerpt from South America: A Supplementary Geography No part of the world is attracting more attention than is our sister continent - South America. Along all lines there are evidences of great progress. The Transandine Railroad now unites the Pacific and the Atlantic coasts. Vast sums of money have been used in improving harbor facilities. Sanitary science has made the tropical ports safe places for the white man. Social conditions have been greatly bettered, and educational systems are rapidly undergoing reorganization. The wonderful scenery and the interesting evidences of a vanished civilization found on the Andean plateaus are each year drawing to South America a large number of visitors. Commercially South America is a field of rapidly increasing importance. A very large part of the world's supply of coffee comes from the state of Sao Paulo in Brazil. The forests of the Amazon furnish vast supplies of rubber. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Across Unknown South America, Vol. 1 of 2 South America is, to my mind, the Coming Conti nent -the Continent of the future. Everybody knows the wealth of the Argentine, Peru, Chile, and Bolivia; but the interior of Brazil, the largest and richest country of all, not unlike forbidden Tibet, was perhaps better known a century or two ago than now. Few people realize that Brazil is larger than the United States of North America, Germany, Portugal, and a few other countries taken together. The interior is practically a term incognita - although the ancient Jesuits and, at a later date, escaped slaves and native rubber collectors have perhaps found their way inland to a considerable distance.

Excerpt from History of the Indians of North and South America No accurate account can be given of their numbers. Some have estimated the whole amount in North and South America, at the time of the discovery Of the continent, even as high as one hundred or one hun dred and fifty millions. This estimate is unquestionably much too large. A more probable one would be from fifteen or twenty to twenty-five millions. But they have greatly diminished, and of all the ancient race not more than four or five millions, if so many, now remain. Pestilence, wars, hardships, and sufferings of various kinds have been their lot for nearly four hundred years; and they have melted away at the approach Of the white man; so that even a lone In dian is now scarcely found beside the grave of his fathers, where once the war-whoop might have called a thousand or more valiant men to go forth to engage in the deadly fray. With them have perished, in many instances, their ancient traditions; and as they had no other means of handing down the records of their deeds, their history is lost, except here and there a fragment, which has been treasured up by some white man more curious than his fellows, in studying their present or former fates. Monuments, indeed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There are a host of ancient ruins in South America, claimed by the Inca, inherited by the Inca, conquered by the Inca and built by the Inca. Although one label has stuck on each monument or ancient site, it is clear there are many layers of construction, physically and conceptually. Academics and Scholars still debate who built these, monuments, did they inherit them? Was there a Pre-Inca culture, but everyone can appreciate how advanced the ‘Inca Ancient Ruins’ found in the highlands of South America. The Inca were largest empire ever seen in the Americas and the largest in the world at that time, yet doubt is cast on their monuments and origins. Tiahuanaco, a region of Bolivia that holds many remnants of ancient civilizations, demonstrates some of the most unique and amazingly precise examples of stonework in the world. The ancient people who created these walls and buildings used such a high degree of mathematical expertise that the workmanship is astounding even to modern day people. They marvel at how the stone-cutters from long ago created all of it with simple hand tools.The high plains of Peru and Bolivia in the Andes Mountains holds a wealth of historical sites, each one more amazing than the next. Scholars and archaeologists had only seen the same type of masonry in ancient Egypt before this. Although some historians call this Inca architecture, this later time period civilization had little to do with creating these fantastic structures. The Incas dominated this area from approximately the 13th to 14th centuries AD up until the time of the Spanish explorers' conquest of the region. Indeed, they built some magnificent structures, but the ones most interesting for their precision and longevity came from even older groups. Some of these empires were called the Wari and the Tiahuanaco. They existed hundreds or even thousands of years before the Inca came to power.Multiple historians who specialize in architectural studies have dedicated a lot of their time and knowledge to figuring out how ancient groups of people who did not use advanced tools or even the wheel could create such structures. The most advanced chisels and hammers of the time would have been created from copper, stone, and wood. With these simple hand tools, people dug granite, andesite, and porphyry out of quarries. After transporting them to the final locations, they then carved them with smooth precision so they would fit together almost seamlessly.What techniques could these ancient experts use to make such flat and smooth surfaces, exact angles, and joints that would not allow a single blade of grass to squeeze between? Historians can only guess about some of the methods that allowed for such unique stone cutting and building styles.
