Lost Realms of Gold: South American Myth (Myth & Mankind , Vol 10, No 20)

Focusing on both the ancient (Inca) and living (Yanomami) cultures of South America, this volume captures the South American mythmakers' fascination with shape shifting and magic. Includes the tale of the first Inca, who built the city of Cuzco on the spot where his staff disappeared into the ground, and the sky people, who discovered the rainforest teeming with animals.
