|  | Incas, Conquistadors, & Treasure Hunters by Peter Lourie
When the conquistadors set foot in the Inca Empire, they found the Inca had crafted from gold and silver some of the most beautiful objects they ever had seen, including masks, plates, vases, and jewelry. Most of that treasure was plundered and lost to history. But more may exist. There is strong evidence that tons of worked Inca gold, hidden from the conquistadors, may be buried in the mountains of Ecuador, Although expeditions over the centuries have come up empty handed, people continue to search for what may be the world's greatest treasure. From the tragic story of Pizarro and the Sun King, to the life-long quest of Eugene Brunner, Peter Lourie's account of his own search for lost gold draws readers into a mysterious world of conquistadors and treasure hunters. This fascinating book shows there is more than gold hidden in the land of the Inca. There is wondrous adventure -- and history. AUTHOR: Peter Lourie
