Anderson surveys the pre-Columbian Americas and the voyages that reached them before Columbus, from Norse ruins in Greenland and the map of Vinland to the puzzle of the Dighton Stone. He then turns to the Aztecs and Mexico before the Spanish conquest, the ruins of Yucatán, and Peru with its stone tombs, monolith doorways and knotted quipu records.
A compact early-twentieth-century overview, interesting as a picture of what was then known and believed. Download the free EPUB.
