Ancient America is one of twenty-one volumes from the Time-Life book series Great Ages of Man. Published in the 1960s, this series is an overview of the major eras of world history. This volume is an introduction to the early civilizations of Middle America and Peru. Most of the book focuses on the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, Mixtec, Toltec, and Inca civilizations. Other topics covered in this book include the migration of the first Americans from Asia, the development of agriculture, the origin of corn, religion, human sacrifice, pyramids, government structure, engineering, art, crafts, textiles, sculpture, the conquest of the Aztecs and Incas by the Spanish, Spanish rule in the Americas, and the heritage of the Aztecs and Incas in modern Mexico and Peru. A theme developed in the book is that these advanced civilizations developed in isolation without the influence of Egypt, Mesopotamia, or Greece. Several maps and numerous pictures of art and architecture supplement the narrative and greatly enhance the text. A time line is included. In sum, this is a great one-volume survey of the civilizations of Mexico and Peru.
