Description
In two parts - The History of North America and The History of Latin America - the cultures that existed in ancient America are brought to life. The first section, on North America, focuses on the various peoples who lived in the lands that today belong to Canada and the United States. The section on Latin America discusses the ancient peoples who lived in the vast regions from present-day Mexico to the tip of South America. Focusing on the important Aztec and Inca civilizations, the atlas also details the astounding Olmec, Maya, and Toltec empires. Topics covered in the second section include the Aztec capital, controlling the Inca Empire, and Andean textiles.
