Summary "The Myths of Mexico & Peru" by Lewis Spence is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the rich mythologies and civilizations of ancient Mexico and Peru, offering insights into their art, culture, and belief systems. It delves into the intricate narratives that defined these cultures, touching upon their gods, rituals, and the historical contexts surrounding their civilizations. The opening of the text sets the stage for an exploration of Mexican civilization, asserting that the indigenous cultures of Mexico and ancient Peru had deep historical roots and diverse mythological frameworks. It highlights the resurgence of interest in American archaeology and provides a foundational understanding of the key players in the study of these ancient civilizations, as well as the misconceptions that often overshadow them. Spence introduces the importance of authors who previously contributed to the field while making a case for the depth and significance of American history that once seemed forgotten. Through the examination of societal structures, religious practices, and the fantastic tales of gods and heroes, the narrative begins to reveal the wondrous cultural tapestry woven by these ancient peoples.
