In "Chavin and the Origins of Andean Civilization," Richard L. Burger presents a comprehensive exploration of the ancient Chavin culture, which flourished in the highlands of Peru from around 900 BCE to 200 BCE. Burger draws on a wide range of archaeological evidence to offer a detailed account of the origins, development, and decline of this fascinating culture, which is widely regarded as a precursor to the later Inca empire. He explores the art, architecture, religion, and social structure of the Chavin people, as well as their interactions with neighboring cultures and their broader historical and cultural significance.
