Product Description

Product Description
An account of an adventure which provided evidence that South Americans could have had trading contacts with Africa 1000 BC, using reed boats to navigate their way across the Atlantic. This is a recreation of that epic journey, uncovering many archaeological sites along the way.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for all adventurers and travellers!, 27 Aug 2000
By A Customer
A wonderful account of the expedition which looks at proving that the ancient Tiwanaku empire had trading links with Africa using only reed boats. The expedition sets off, high up in the Andes, from Lake Titicaca down river towards the Atlantic. Many adventures were encountered whilst making great archeological discoveries in Bolivia. Another great feat of British exploration backed by the famous Explorers Club.

2.0 out of 5 stars Geographically correct, but devoid of real excitement, 7 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Clearly the book review written above is a complete fan of one or both authors. While the book may be factually correct it suffers from the same experience of many expeditionary books. Unsure whether to excite or inform it does both in a rather mediocre manner. Some useful information on a region that lacks information - all the more reason to make sure it is 100% correct.
