The Shocking Discovery Of The Lost Medieval Citadel Of The Incan Empire | Myth Hunters | Chronicle
In the 16th century, the Inca Empire faced Spanish conquistadors and fled deep into the jungles of Peru, where they built a last stronghold called Vilcabamba. American explorer Hiram Bingham, driven by a desire for fame, sought to uncover the lost city of Vilcabamba. Bingham's expedition, funded by various corporations and his wife's wealth, led him to Machu Picchu, a remarkable Inca site he initially believed to be Vilcabamba. Bingham's legacy endures as he played a pivotal role in uncovering one of the world's great wonders.

I visited Macchu Picu. Amazing site knowing it was built without iton or horse in a remote place in the mountains. The stones were carved with precision with no gaps or mortar. Incredible feat by the Inca.

I've come to realize,: ☀️🏹 The ruins Bingham found are pre-Incan, pre-flood, a Civilization that came before us, one that has reu8ns encircling this Earth, and for anyone to deny it can only be due to "lack of familiarity with History through Education", and/or "Mainstream Academic 19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline" programming, occasionally refered to as: the "Mainstream Academia Dogmatic Orthodoxy". 🔑 ... for a Learned, Open Mind applying the "Standards of Science and Research" can see the facts easily and with logic, realize that these are earlier People's Civilizations.

Excellent documentary! Watched from beginning to end. Machu Picchu is truly a fabulous place with extraordinary views and architecture!
I visited Macchu Picu. Amazing place. Keep in mind it was built without iron or horses in a remote mountain area. Incredible feat by the Inca. I was in awe.
Absolutely captivating! The uncovering of the lost medieval citadel of the Incan Empire is truly mesmerizing. Every detail in this video kept me on the edge of my seat. Can't wait to explore more mysteries with Myth Hunters. Keep up the fantastic work
When you walk the so called Inca trail, your first view of it is amazing, it was for me 24 years ago.
He didn't find or discover anything!! He was lead to it by people that already knew about it and the location!

I can't help but think of the Monty Python skit with the sentence "sitting there on your loathsome spotted behinds" when I read derogatory comments by those who have, quite likely, never achieved anything of consequence in their lives. It's rich that they even express an opinion about an explorer such as Bingham. He was wealthy and educated so he could have lived a life of comfort instead of venturing out as he did !
Great documentary but the Incas didn't built the Machu Picchu. Incas just also discovered it's ruins
I have travelled there twice. It is mangificent.
It seems quite obvious that Machu Picchu is not Vilcabamba. The chronicle is clear that the Incas took refuge to jungle plains, and its completely logical. They already saw Mountains arent protected enough as Spaniards took all their cities and forts there. They went to more inaccessible place, and eventhough its not their normal habitat, they had no choice. Also, the lack of ruins the kind of Machu Picchu there is normal, there isnt enough stone in muddy plain as there is in mountain, the Incas were remnants and refugees, not the grat empire any more, so its obvious that most of what they would have built there would be made of wood and perish.

That is exactly what I thought. Plus, if you have the Spanish at your heels. They wouldn't have time to make Lavish buildings and extraravagant architecture. The buildings there would have been infererior and essential.
Very informative
Amazing !!!!!!!
Oh so a peasant farmer found it and you claimed the credit.

Wow I loved this
I wonder why people watch these documentaries and then comment in such a rude derogatory manner… if you don’t like it, just click away but don’t be so rude to the people who made this documentary! They’ve put many hours into this. If you can do better, please share 😅😖 Oh and @iamllux why do you think British narrators and documentary makers are considered THE BEST in the world? Because they are. I really wonder the foundation of your ridiculous comment, like I said “if you don’t like what you see, click away!”
He had the money to uncovered it. He didn't discovered nothing new for the people there. Only to show for the rest of the world. Somebody had to do it one day
That was good

The Shocking Discovery Of The Lost Medieval Citadel Of The Incan Empire | Myth Hunters | Chronicle 16.3.24 is it flippant to suggest Maanco was a clint eastwood character...he who had no quarrel...made money from those two opposing idiot factions....?
The 1800 dollars was like saying 50,000 today
He didn’t discover it people, the locals knew about it for centuries the whites were the last to know in this situation.
Who writes the titles? It wasn't "shocking"... please, we are NOT on the Daily Mail.. just a normal descriptive title would be enough... that said, video itself was good so thanks!

The filthy Spanish conquistadors killed their entire civilization. The modern ones are remnants that were forcibly converted to Catholicism so that Spain could have another colony and get richer. The Conquistadors are basically genocidal megalomaniacs.
LIES! 🤣 The locals not only knew of that place's existence, people came from all over South America to check it out, so much so that Homeboy hired local guides to take him up the trail.
The Indians? Wtf
When will indigenous peoples everywhere cease to be referred to as “indians”???
This is a documentary about Hyram Bingham the 3rd's "great discovery" that was already known by the local people. Good thing those rich white men were around to write history for us. BTW, "impoverished academic" is an oxymoron. But I don't expect narrators with British accents to know that.

We have magnificent temples that the Arabs and Turk( ish) people destroyed and then Brits “ discovered “ them !
Why do you think that the Inkas were an Empire,? Because of the conquistadors? Or because of the current spaniards? Such a concept exist only en western (european) and/or in the Midle Eastern culture. The Inka society were never an Empire (Do you know its implications of an Empire?) , we don't have such a concept in our culture. You can find out through our voices; meaning, through our languages. Even here in North America'', natives don't have that term and many, many other terms or concepts in their languages. Etc., etc.,!
