What reading level is The Story of Extinct Civilizations of the West book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Season of exercises . . . January 22d.
Season of ripening . . . February 2 2d.
IV. Festival of Autumn Equinox . March 22d.
Beginning of harvest . . April 22d.
Harvesting month . . . May 22d; Since Quito is exactly on the equator, the ver- tical rays of the sun at noon during the equinox cast no shadow. That northern capital, there- EXTINCT CIVILIZATION OF PERU 185 fore, was */held in especial veneration as the fa- vored abode of the great deity." At the feast of Raymi, or New Year's day, the sa...crifice usually offered was that of the llama, a fire being kindled by means of a concave mirror of polished metal collecting the rays, of the sun into a focus upon a quantity of dried cotton.
The national festival of the Aztecs we com- pared to the secular celebration of the Romans ; so now the Raymi of the Peruvians may be likened to the Panathensea of ancient Athens, when the people of Attica ascended in splendid procession to the shrine on the Acropolis.
In Mexico the Spanish travelers often experi- enced severe famines ; and in India, even at the present day (to the disgrace perhaps of our man- agement) nearly every year many thousands die of hunger.
