Quito Day Two--Photos #2




                 Four Amazonian families would live in one of these.  One family in each corner.
 People in jungle were naked.  Men hunted and ran through the jungle to hunt so had to tie their penises up for this reason.

                        Guinea pigs lived with them and on special occasions they would eat some.



                                               Whole family would sleep in one bed.
                         Demonstrating how Amazonians could tell seasons by shadow of the rod.
Solar clock--Shadow would point to time of day.  It is pointing towards 10:30 approx and actual time was 10:40.  Ancient people did not have hours but did have day divided in 3 parts, names in red.
