Book Reviews of Pyramids of Tucume: The Quest for Peru's Forgotten City
Book Review: Scienfitic oration
Summary: 4 Stars
Text-book type read of the history of uncovering some of the pyramids of Tucum. Thor Hyerdal's chapters are interesting narratives, the others are very scientific and factual but reads like a text book - which is well written but I was expecting more of a narrative type book. If you want factual info about the pyramids, this is definately the book to get. If you want a good read, you might consider another option.
