Marshack examines and interprets hundreds of examples of Upper Paleolithic art mostly carved on bone and finds that certain geometric carvings were in fact used as lunar calendars.

From the introduction: "The Paluwalla Tree of Life of the Cuna Indians of San Blas Panama is so holy that it is considered sacrilegious to talk about it to outsiders; hence complete information is difficult to obtain. In fact it is only by chance that the scientific world even knows that the Cunas carry out a most secret ceremony in the jungle before the Tree of Life. I had tried for ten years to get Cuna medicine priests to talk to me about this most sacred ceremony but in vain. It was a taboo topic of conversation. Finally I had to publish Secrets of the Cuna Earthmother without the information." This book fills in the missing information from interviews and other communications with various of the author's Cuna acquaintances. Related postcard laid in. First Edition. .
