I'm not sure if this book was generated by AI or simply poorly written...either way I was very intrigued by the cover art and title which is why I took a chance and purchased it. One of my students is from Peru and was telling me about visiting modern day Paracas to see the ancient Candelabra etched into the hill side there. Anyhow please do not waste your money on this book. Everything is very general and repetitive. No images of artifacts or photographs of the area. Little to no historical citations based on research.
