Reading Sanctuaries

We recently received this note from Mrs. Yolanda Angélica Ortiz Zorrilla, who is an indefatigable reader and has also participated as a volunteer, on several occasions, with us:

"I'm currently reading the book 'Primordial Sanctuaries: Rock Art in Cajamarca, Peru' and I want to tell you how much it fascinates me and how it moves me to delve into its pages.

There is so much information, and so finely ordered, so felt, that it cannot be read only as a history document, but as testimony of our ancestors.

I'm brought back to those times and I am filled with affection for those grandparents of ours: how I would like to be there, even to give them water while they painted or carved the stones! How I would have liked to help them by fetching their brushes or mixing their colours, marveling at their stories, learning with them ...

Thank you for this extraordinary book.

Thanks to all of you, to your families and communities.

With a hug,

Yolanda".
