Edition Details: Translated title: [The South-American Connection: Gaston Maspero, Egyptology and Americanist Archaeology at Montevideo (Uruguay), 1868]
In 1867, young Gaston Maspero arrived in Montevideo, Uruguay to translate a book written by the Argentine historian Vicente Fidel Lopez who while during his exile conducted his campaign to run for office, also devoted himself to Quechua and the linguistics from Peru. The year he spent in Montevideo coincided with the presence of other travelers, antiquarians and pioneers of archaeology in South American as well as with the exhibition of major Egyptian collections at Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. He was in the right place and the right time. Eventually in spite of having concetrated on Egyptology, would never lose contatct with Americanism or with the South American countries.
