| Summary | "La cruz en América (Arqueología Argentina)" by Adán Quiroga is a scholarly work written in the early 20th century. It aims to explore the significance and history of the cross symbol in the context of American archaeology, especially how it predates or differs from Christian symbolism. The text appears to delve into ancient beliefs and practices surrounding the use of the cross among indigenous peoples of the Americas, suggesting that it may have ancient roots that connect various cultures across the continent. The opening of the book introduces the notion that the cross is not merely a symbol stemming from Christianity but holds deeper meanings linked to pre-Columbian cultures. The author examines various scholarly opinions on the origin of the cross as a symbol—arguing against a purely Christian interpretation and suggesting that it may have connections to indigenous deities related to weather, especially water. Moreover, the preface touches upon the author's dedication to collecting archaeological evidence to substantiate these claims, hinting at a rich tapestry of cultural significance that the cross symbolizes throughout different periods in America's history.
