Lost Cities and Ancient Mysteries of South America - Explore Hidden Civilizations & Archaeological Wonders | Perfect for History Buffs, Adventure Travelers & Mystery Enthusiasts

I really enjoyed this book a lot. It was hard to put down. The mysteries that Mr. Childress uncovers as he travels the Southwest are intriguing and baffling. I really appreciated that he showed he was not just a researcher, but went into the field, to the locations, talked to locals, gathered information, went to the sites, and came up with the information he presents. The only thing I would like to see more of is his own views on what he finds. He objectively presents the legends and details, but I would like to hear what he thinks of them, having been to these locations and spoken to these people. There is potential for the excited child within to be filled with wonder and excitement and that was lacking. For the information alone and the feeling of trekking along on his jaunts, I give this 5 stars. I plan to read his other books, as well. He is a font of ancient knowledge and curiosity. I respect both of those qualities a lot.
