Descrição: The spread of these beings and their cults was similar to the spread of the faiths in the Old World—Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam: they were conveyed by sages with their words, bundles, and visionary charisma early on, as much as by force in later colonialism. Author Timothy R. Pauketat has traveled and contemplated the places that witnessed the turn to these gods, from the Maya Lowlands through the Valley of Mexico, the Gulf of Mexico, the Sonoran Desert, the American Southwest, Caddo country, the Mississippi Valley, and the American Bottom. A product of his years in conferences at the Santa Fe Institute, a major scientific think tank in the United States, this book affirms that archaeological science takes many forms, and the approach taken in Gods of Thunder is one of them.
