The Ancient Kingdoms of Peru

I have a emmence interest in the Lost Tribes and this book helped me in my studies.

read this

A well written very informative book which gives a good overview of precolumbian Peru. The starting point for everybody interested in this subject.

A little dry, but not too dry.

I bought this book in preparation for a trip I was taking to Peru. I wanted to understand a bit about where I was traveling. Davies' style is reasonably conversational, considering the academic nature of the subject. Thus I was pleased to be able to read the book without wishing I was doing something else.

great

A fascinating book about a fascinating time in history.
