Heyerdahl braved hardships, evil spirits and bandits before he won the acceptance of the local people and, with his fellow researchers, the archaeoligists Daniel Sandweiss and Alfredo Narvaez, put in place an ambitious program of escavation. This book is the first-hand account of their experiences and discoveries of the city that was first constructed nearly nine centuries ago by the people of the Lambayeque culture.
