4.0 out of 5 stars
A very good down to earth summary of the subject,
By A Customer
This review is from: Astronomy and Empire in the Ancient Andes: The Cultural Origins of Inca Sky Watching (Paperback)
The book, written by a small interdisciplinary team, has clearly benefitted from this cooperation. It provides an excellent overview of Inca astronomy as reported in Spanish documentary sources, which are put to the test by first-hand astronomical and archaeological observations. It also carefully examines some of the currently dominant yet more speculative approaches to the subject. Very much recommended. Fred Spier
