To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In this connection, however, it is to be recollected that the Indians were not acquainted, in all probability, with the Gold and other Objects from subtere^anean Inca Temple: Huaraz. Inca Civilisation in the Amazonian Forests 251 use of quicksilver in this industry, which might cast a doubt upon their use of the kimbalete. As to the sea-shells described above, it is probable that they were not used only as a medium of barter, but that they had a religious meaning ; and in this connection I may ...draw attention to the shells found near Huaraz, of which I give an illustration. The adornment or carving spoken of at Sinca, of a fish, is also significant, recollecting that the religion and origin of the Incas seems to have been connected with some marine event or matter. It is here interesting to compare all this with the chapter dealing with the Inca civilisation, and the statement contained therein, by Dr Patron regarding Huirakocha, as well as the description of the megalithic remains and their origin on Easter Island.
