What reading level is Peruvian Antiquities book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Licentiate Polo- Ondegardo, in the vice-royalty of D. Andres Hurtado de Mendoza, the second Marquis of Canete, brought this mummy, with several others of the Incas, from Cuzco to Lima. Garcillasso adds: " The bodies weighed so little that any Indian might carry them in his arms, or on his shoulders, from house to house of the gentlemen who ^wished to see them. They carried them, covered with white ' cjoths, through the streets and squares, surrounded by the Indians, worshipping them with te...ars and groans ; and many Spaniards lifted their caps as they passed, because they were the bodies of kings, which was so grateful to the In- dians that they could not sufficiently express their thanks. " Finally, the mortal remains of these powerful and wise mon- archs were interred in a court of the Hospital of Saint Andrew, in Lima.
Besides the Incas the Peruvians adored also heroes in ^some of the provinces, and it seems that this worship origin- ated before the Incas conquered those territories.
