When Alfred Kroeber left Lima, Peru for the ruins of the Nazca region in July 1926, he could have had no inkling of the importance of what he would uncover. Nor would he have guessed that his excavation report would not appear until the end of the century, completed by Donald Collier and Patrick Carmichael after Kroeber's death in 1960. Kroeber's report contains what is still the only complete analysis and seriation of the beautiful painted pottery of Nazca, complete with over 400 photographs and drawings of objects uncovered in the excavations, some in full color. His report is also notable for its rare discussion of Nazca architecture, its description of cloth, hair bundles and other artifact groups, its accurate analysis of Nazca human remains, and even for one of the earliest descriptions and photographs of the famous Nazca lines.With careful editing by Collier and Carmichael, Kroeber's work is far ahead of its time methodologically and is still an important source document for contemporary archaeology and art history of South America. A final chapter by Katharina J. Schreiber puts Kroeber's work in the context of contemporary Nazca studies, including a reassessment of the sites discovered in the 1926 expedition. Important for both professional and avocational anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians, and those interested in the history of anthropology.Published in cooperation with The Field Museum, Chicago, Illinois

Looks at the myths and theories surrounding the Nazca people of Peru

Examines the various theories which attempt to explain the Nazca phenomena in terms of religious ritual, ancient roads, and astrological symbols

Since discovered in 1927, archaeologists have puzzled over the origin of the massive earth etchings at Nazca, in the remote deserts of Peru. Arrival of the Gods reveals Von Daniken's exclusive theory concerning Nazca's mile-long "landing strips," vivid drawings of people, birds, and animals, and the immense geometric designs. Using over 140 integrated photographs, specially designed maps, models and drawings, Von Daniken reveals one of earth's most enduring mysteries.

The earth is marked with the traces of man's ancient past, and Marilyn Bridges's photographs reveal the spiritual forces inherent in our ancestral creations. Her exploration highlights the mysterious Nazca lines painstakingly scored two thousand years ago onto a Peruvian desert landscape; the sacred temples and pyramids of the Maya, deep in the Yucatán jungle; the enigmatic earthworks of ancient North American Indians; and the colossal prehistoric temple of Stonehenge. Taken from daringly low altitudes, Bridges's aerial photographs pose profound questions about the relationship of human culture and the natural world. Essays by Haven O'More, director of the Institute of Traditional Science, Lucy Lippard, and other leading thinkers lend insight into the quest to uncover lost knowledge of the creation of these mysterious markings.

Nazca, once only an isolated settlement in the midst of the Peruvian desert, is today the meeting place for archaeologists from around the world. From here you can fly over the celebrated Nazca pampa and appreciate the massive scale of the extraordinary markings on the surrounding landscape. Some of these lines are over twenty kilometers long!Drawing on over thirty years of study, Erich von Daniken examines the various theories that attempt to explain the Nazca phenomena in terms of religious ritual, ancient roads, and astrological symbols. With the help of numerous photographs taken by the author-half-hanging from a small airplane-he describes the many mysteries of Nazca and puts forward a startling revolutionary solution to one of archaeology's greatest enigmas.

This illustrated volume tells the stories of the civilizations that succeeded one another over the centuries high up on the dry plateaus and snowy peaks of the Andes between 3000 BC and 1533 AD, the year that brought the collapse of the Inca world. Chapter One outlines the Nazca, Moche and Chimu cultures, whilst the second chapter describes the daily life of the Incas. Chapter Three is an exploration of their arts and crafts, in particular weaving and metalwork, but also touching on aspects of religion, society and thought. The last part of the book considers the most interesting archaeological sites, from the ancient mudbrick pyramids of the ceremonial coast centres to the amazing stone Inca cities. There is also a short discussion of the cultures of Bolivia, Ecuador and Colombia, which have always been connected with those of Peru. At the end of this section Professor Walter Alva presents the extraordinary and rich treasure found in Sipan.

Looks at the history and culture of early South American peoples, including the Chavin, the Moche, the Paracas, and the Nazca, and tells the stories of those who sought their gold

Lines laid across the plain near the Peruvian site of Nazca have been explained as ancient roads or features of a long-forgotten religious calendar. So why did Erich von Daniken interpret these markings as the contours of a huge galactic spaceport? In his assessment of the uncanny and frequently eerie world of UFO-logy, Gregory L Reece travels deep into a mindset which believes that the gods of mythology were really visitors from the stars. Venturing into the Mojave Desert to watch the night skies for flying saucers; exploring Nevada's top-secret installation 'Area 51'; and visiting Roswell, famous site of a supposed saucer crash in 1947, the author's quest for the truth brings him more than he bargained for. He has his atomic structure recharged in a machine supposedly designed by extraterrestrial technology, encounters a whole galaxy of alien life-forms, and meets those who claim themselves to have been abducted by UFOs. Along the way, he tries to make sense both of the sinister 'Men in Black' and of lethal 'Tall Whites', deadly aliens who liquidate human beings without mercy.What is it about flying saucer culture that speaks to people with an apparently religious intensity and fervour? For those looking for the answers, "UFO Religion" is the definitive guide and handbook to one of the most extraordinary and compelling cults of our times.
