Besides making this discovery in Machu Picchu, Mr. Westerman also made a very important discovery in Bolivia at the Titicaca Rock on the Island of the Sun in Lake Titicaca, the site generally considered to have been the most sacred place in the world to the pre-columbian people of the Andes.
This book describes the sequence of events which lead to both discoveries and gives a straightforward, relatively easy to read scholarly analysis of what was found. It is an unusual completely true story which may have some appeal to people interested in "New Age" ideas, such as those expressed in "The Celestine Prophesy" by James Redfield. It is also a book which has significance to the Andean people of South America, as it provides some new very important information about their past. For this reason there is also a Spanish language edition.
There was a one hour television documentary produced about this discovery by Kurtis Productions entitled "The Mystery of Machu Picchu" which was shown domestically on the Public Broadcasting Service and worldwide on the International Discovery Channel.
