Aztec, Inca and Mayan Myths.
The three lost civilisations of Central and South America - the Mayans of Yucatan, the Aztecs of Mexico, and the Incas of Peru - have still not yielded all their secrets. What we know of their mythology, however, affords a glimpse into their world as many of their religious beliefs and cultural practices have been handed down to us through tales of the Sun God, creation legends, and fantastical stories of animal spirits and shape shifters.
In this book, Diana Ferguson brings together some of the best of these myths in a vivid retelling that both echoes the spirit of the original and provides a fascinating insight into cultures long gone. It is richly illustrated with over 100 photographs of important artefacts and archaeological sites.
