    Don't listen to that BS. The Incas "obviously" built their own stuff from the ground up. I live in Ollantaytambo and can see every stage of construction all around. Guys like Brien Foerster may have believed their foolishness when they were young and ignorant, but by now he has been consciously lying for decades.

    Any details on the statue of the WARRIOR near the end? I have never been to Peru but to 30 sites in MX, Guatemala, Venezuela (35 years ago), and Belize. Many times there were these STATUES with no plaque to commemorate an "obvious" hero or liberator. In Colima MX. (fabulous little town), there was a massive statue of COLIMAN THE CONQUEROR who defeated the Spanish.

    @@adamseward4713 There are a lot of unanswered questions such as why are the finer quality works below the later lesser quality ones. Also, the general consensus is that the Incas arrived in the 12 th century and were conquered in the 16th century, so all of these constructions must have been completed in a 4 century span. But construction is not instant, all technology derives from prior technologies as it gains sophistication, and we don't see a progression from primitive to modern in these sites, they appear to have just sprung forth instantly. I think some folks with knowledge of construction and society could make an educated guess as to the viability of a population that was agrarian, which requires long days of toil in the fields, finding sufficient free time and skilled workers to complete all these works.

    @@oldschool1993 Actually, current theory has it that almost all of the Inka architecture was constructed in less than a century. That's believable, the Inkas had a functionally infinite labor force, a genius for organization and efficiency, superb engineers, and worked hard. I watched pure-blood day laborers carrying 20 kilo sacks of freshly harvested choclo maize on their back at a dead run; the woman I was with said, "It's like we're watching Inkas work,:" and she was right. However, it is true, there's not much evidence of the evolution of Inka masonry - it is as if it sprung up whole from one mind during the reign of Pachacutiq. Maybe it did, he was a creative genius. At any rate, there's no indication of a preceding culture developing that unique style of stonework. The Tiwanakans may have influenced them but their styles are definitely, if subtly to the untrained eye, unalike. I suspect that the architecture grew more gradually in the Cuzco valley than is currently. theorized. Archeology, paleoanthropology, paleontology, can only expand backwards in time, and that is what it does. It is one of many puzzles left by a people whose literature was knotted strings, whose libraries were systematically destroyed by the church, and for which there is no Rosetta Stone. But it is clear by the great stones left behind in a seamless progression of stages from raw rock to fine finished masonry that each building was constructed by the same people, architects, engineers, straw bosses, and *hatun runakuna,* from the ground up. No Old Ones of Lemuria, no alien technology, and no 20,000 year-old Lost Advanced Civilizations of little Brien Foersters, Graham Hancocks, Michael Cremos, or DH Childresses are necessary to explain anything.

    @@adamseward4713 Well you do give a good argument in support of current theory, and it is a clue as to why your response to the original poster was so vitriolic. I am not a proponent of aliens or lost civilizations either, but I am open to reasonable questions regarding these constructions. I have been around long enough to know that the greatest impediment to scientific advancement has always been the supporters of the currently accepted theory. Going back to Galileo, Schliemann, the Leakeys, the Alvarez' and many many more, the one consistent fact is that every one of them were attacked and ridiculed by the established scientific community. It is quite understandable that a person that studied and devoted his life to teaching something that he believed as fact would be reluctant to toss it all away in the face of new facts or theories. I can remember being told by sober professors that the dinosaurs died of some pandemic and wooly mammoths were hunted to extinction by a few tribes of humans and Neanderthals were a bunch of hunched-over grunting savages, ideas that would bring gales of laughter today.

    @@oldschool1993 Institutional conservatism is the second obstacle to scientific discovery. That is based on the desire to preserve the credibility of the tradition, just as the Vatican is reluctant to canonize a potato that looks like the Virgin Mary and sheds tears: they don't want to be laughed at or sneered at or abandoned for validating ten thousand ridiculous claims. The first obstacle to scientific advancement is popular opinion, which, on one hand, is conservative in clinging to "common sense" (the wild crazy theory of their great grandparents' time) and on the other, the primordial desire to believe in the fantastic and sensational. Not long ago demons and evil spirits fought with saints and angels over the daily lives of peasants. But more commonly in these times, people just want someone to thrill them, to excite them, to make them privy to secret knowledge that their less informed peers lack. My "vitriol" is based on a lifelong desire to understand and know the pre-contact peoples of the Andes. I have studied them as an amateur for many years. I would like to share some of this pleasure with a few others; instead I am inundated with people who uncritically accept and doggedly defend anyone who can get them wet between the legs with theories that implicitly denigrate and deny the reality of an amazing and fascinating - and truly mysterious - people. More, I am repelled by the mental and spiritual torpor that make humans look to demons and angels for their sense of wonder, because they are too lazy to look at the immense wonders of biology, physics, math, history - biology alone is astounding in its complexity and synchronisation. Astronomy? Can any UFO sighting (and I am not ready to reject them all) be as soul-shaking as what you are really looking at when you gaze at a starry sky? The numbers? Science itself is a crazy story - the fact that physics knows that it is at its most basic, wrong? Gravity and electromagnetism are both proven true, yet they cannot coexist in this universe as it is understood? The fact that we know nothing, not one single fact exists in science, all is assumptions? Epistemology eats its own tail. Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum? I love the Inkas. I came to Peru to live among them and every morning that I wake and walk out my door I am fascinated anew. I live for the moments I can almost see them building those walls. I look for what they really are and I despise those who knowingly distort and slander them for the admiration of willfully duped fools. "I can remember being told by sober professors that the dinosaurs died of some pandemic and wooly mammoths were hunted to extinction by a few tribes of humans and Neanderthals were a bunch of hunched-over grunting savages, ideas that would bring gales of laughter today." Yeh. I would rather not believe in feathered dinosaurs. You mean the extinction of mammoths was not brought on by humans? Huh. I didn't know that.

    The oldest constructions with the biggest and hardest stones that we find on our planet are made by the highest skilled and educated civilization that vanished about 20,000 years ago because of a recurring natural disaster. And that civilization knew that they would vanish for a very large part. They constructed Machu Picchu and other places high in the mountains to help a selected group to survive the disaster that causes an enormous tidal wave, earthquakes, volcano eruptions and a bombardment of fiery meteorites. To learn more about the cycle of civilizations and its timeline, recurring floods and ancient high tech, read the e-book: Planet 9 = Nibiru. You can read it nicely on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Just search for: invisible nibiru 9
