The work explores the remarkable cultures of pre-Columbian America, focusing on the civilizations of Peru and the Aztecs, detailing their histories, religious practices, and social structures. The narrative examines how these societies worshipped the sun and the contrasting approaches of the Incas and Aztecs towards conquest and governance while highlighting the cultural richness of both civilizations. At the start of the book, Nissen introduces the profound cultural significance of the sun to the indigenous peoples of America prior to European contact. He vividly describes the landscape and life within the Incan empire, emphasizing the value placed on the sun as a deity central to their existence. The opening portion details the emotional turmoil of a wounded warrior from a conquered tribe, who grapples with loss and memories of his homeland while witnessing the might of the Incan military. The text sets the stage for an exploration of the complexities of cultural exchange and dominance, blending vivid descriptions of nature with the intimate struggles of individuals caught in the sociopolitical upheaval of their time.
