5.0 out of 5 stars Two Thumbs up for The Ancient Ones!, June 21, 2006
This review is from: The Ancient Ones: Sacred Monuments of the Inka, Maya & Cliffdweller (Hardcover)
This is a beautifully designed, well executed, and powerful publication that leaves the reader both informed and mystified by its contents. Hans Li successfully integrates stunning visual images of the architecture of the ancient Americas with verbal excerpts underlying the myths that surround the creation of such structures, thereby linking the notion of ancient ritual and spiritual ceremony with what is essentially one of the earliest formations of civilization. "The Ancient Ones" underlies a connection between the spiritual and the tangible, between legend and civilization, and between man nature with a kind of purpose and humility that is both poignant and alluring. I highly recomend a look through his website www.theancient1s.com which contains all the images from the book, plus a few bonuses on the author and his exhibitions.
