Water of the Gods,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Nazca Lines: A New Perspective on their Origin and Meaning (Paperback)
Well traveled and linguistically accomplished anthropologist Johan Reinhard gives THE NAZCA LINES A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THEIR ORIGIN AND MEANING by interpreting the figures and lines in terms of a desert people asking mountain dwelling gods for fertile crops and precious water. Dr Reinhard says that other explanations are possible and not mutually exclusive. However, he particularly likes to start from environmental dynamics, Hispanic chronicles, local legends, persisting customs and religious beliefs. The author backs up a clear writing style with his own exquisite black and white photographs, with helpful maps, and with telling evidence from before, during, and after Inca times. Unfortunately, this unique book is out of print, but well worth the effort to track down.
