  • 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.

    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.

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 !

    Incas fleeing into the jungle would likely not have the resources, and possibly not the expertise to duplicate the stonework of the previous Inca cities, not to mention the time between the founding and the discovery by the Spaniards. It was rather unrealistic to dismiss it because it didn't duplicate previous examples.

    "He was just a Peruvian peasant... his discovery was secure." Bruh. This was such an interesting documentary up until that part. This is the reason why people think the former western imperial powers think of themselves as the masters of the world.
    You could've presented this in such a different manner you know. But the choice of words. The way you just tossed aside the original discoverer after acknowledging the achievement was his. Yuck. I wonder what people in Peru think of Bingham, the rich white dude that was so obsessed with his own fame that he stole someone else's achievement just because he was a poor peasant from a poor country.

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.
