We know about the ancient Egyptians and their pyramids; the Greeks and their sculptures and temples; and everybody knows about the Maya and their famous calendar and the Inca who were overthrown by the Spanish. But other ancient peoples get short mention in world history. Jan Johansen will discuss archaeological evidence that highlights lost cultures of Peru.
Jan Johansen, member of Sacramento Archeological Society, Inc., past president and current vice-president has been interested in archaeology for years as an avocation. Before she generally retired she had several careers: teacher, software developer/manager, sales representative, project/program manager, and bookkeeper/accountant. She has traveled fairly extensively focusing on ancient cultures and their history. In South America she has visited Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Columbia. Her experiences there have tuned her interest in lost cultures of South America.
