Closer to heaven. Mysteries of Uruguayan archaeology for curious children by Moira Sotelo, Silvia Soler. Photography Pablo Larrosa. Illustrations Pantana.

Did you know that in the mountains and hills of Uruguay there are mysterious stone constructions (cairnes) of which we know very little? It is believed that they were made by the indigenous people to bury their dead, mark their lands and perform ritual ceremonies. They are stones placed in very high places, the closest to the sky, from where you can see far away, and hear the sound of the wind and the birds,
This book tells the story of the curious Sofia, a ten-year-old girl, who will not hesitate to climb hills and explore hidden places. This journey will lead her to meet descendants of indigenous people, while she discovers strange stone shapes.
A fun journey to learn that archaeology is a door to the past full of adventures.
