The Atacama Crystal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781609765620)

When famed archaeologist Francesca Pizarro discovers an ancient pre-Incan crypt, she unexpectedly uncovers more than a mere coffin. Strange apparitions appear before her, and she experiences a sudden wealth of advanced scientific knowledge. A black jaguar seems to observe her on many occasions, and a mysterious shaman keeps watch on her from afar. She becomes consumed with ancient prophecies concerning the return of Viracocha (the Inca creator god) and his wife-sister Khinchana. In Francesca's quest to unearth ancient mysteries, she discovers who she really is, and what her role is in securing the planet's future. Awaken and pay attention! Take the risk to venture into the unknown and reevaluate the possibilities of our origin. About the Author: David G.
