About this book
The Ancient Monuments of North and South America is a book by C. S. Rafinesque whose title page names a second edition, corrected, enlarged and with some additions. The introduction says the feelings that lead some men to investigate remains of antiquity and search into their origin, dates and purposes are similar to those actuating lofty minds. The writer says he will publish his original descriptions and views, plans and maps of such as he has surveyed, examined and studied between 1818 and this time.
The text says the Atlantic monuments may be distinctly traced from Syria and Greece to Lybia, Morocco. The text states that immense mounds have been found as far South as the river Nun. A numbered point says the Guarani group of languages and nations in South America was most widely spread from Guyana to Paraguay, and all over Brazil.
