Symboly Inků, Mayů a Aztéků - Symbolika zmizelých národů – Owusu Heike (2004)

Advanced civilizations of Central and South America developed for millennia outside the influences of the surrounding world, leaving behind one of the most impersonal cultures that still fascinates us today with the breadth of its knowledge and the depth of its mysteries. The symbols of these now-extinct nations best express their experiences of the world, their ideas about the universe, and their everyday lives, particularly in the lives of the ancient Incas, Mayans, and Aztecs, where they played an extraordinary role. This richly illustrated text presents over 150 visual entries that detail the religion, legends, history, customs, mathematical knowledge, philosophical ideas, and medical skills of one of the most advanced civilizations of antiquity.
