The Inca World by Philip Steele
Step back in time to the world of the Incas - rulers of the most spectacular empire South America has ever seen. Explore the land of the Sun God - its golden treasures, fabulous clothes and massive stone temples and palaces. Discover facts about the Inca people and their ancestors - the secrets of the mummy bundles, the mystery of the Nazca desert lines, the engineers who built rope bridges and roads high in the Andes Mountains. A variety of pratical projects help to bring the past alive - make a reed boat that will float on water, create an Inca drum for a musical festival and design a tunic fit for an emperor.
