N2  - CENTRAL AMERICAN & CARIBBEAN ARCHAEOLOGY. This addition to White Star's distinguished ancient history series invites readers to immerse themselves in the world of the Incas - their historical development, cultural horizons, societal structure, and much more. Through an authoritative text and superb visuals, it traces a history that leads from the mythical origins of this population to its violent demise at the hands of the Spanish conquistadores. It illustrates the historical reasons underlying the success of the Incas in gaining control over the numerous groups that populated the Andean territory between the 13th and 15th centuries AD. Hundreds of photographs, aerial views, three-dimensional reconstructions, and details of ancient artifacts present fresh insight into the lives of these peoples and demonstrate why, even today, the ancient Incas are the unifying symbol of the modern Andean nations
