About This Book

A nostalgic narrative reconstructs life in an ancient, sophisticated Llama city built where a modern urban park now stands, following Yermah, known as the Dorado, and his companions through rides, hunts, civic duties, and ritual observances. Detailed passages evoke temples, marketplaces, engineered hills that map planetary measures, skilled artisans, and domesticated animals, while occasional technological touches suggest surprising prescience. The story sketches social structures, daily labors, and cultural rites of a vanished people and culminates in the city’s destruction by a devastating earthquake, prompting reflections on memory, loss, and the uneasy layering of modern reconstruction atop vanished grandeur.
