Read Buddy Levy’s bio of Francisco.
He found out the hard way that the Amazon river was full of cultures all the way to the sea.
I am fascinated by ancient cultures all over the world. How and why did so many build the same type buildings? What connection did they have? Why did so many build pyramids? Who did the huge figures in South America? It is amazing.
