I just finished a wonderful non-fiction book entitled The lost City of Z by David Grann (Doubleday, 2005). It is a tale of the long-time search for the lost city of Z and exploration in the Brazilian Amazon forest. The well-written story is replete with archaeological, historical, personal as well as psychological concepts and reads like an exciting fictionalized adventure tale. Like most truly good stories, it left me thirsting for more.
Did you know that the Amazon may have given birth to a large, advanced civilization that rivals ancient Egypt? I am wondering if the Amazonian civilaization is connected to African civilizations that were one when the two continents were connected during the pangaea.
