      You are confusing 'then' with 'than'. I think it's caused by how society tends to listen and watch videos rather than read books, that is the cause of the problem, it's a worldwide phenomena. Plus, the American accent doesn't help either, when pronouncing the word 'than', which does sound like 'then'.
      This should help you get it right:
      'Then', used to explain something happening next: 'He then went to the market'. 'I get home, then I put the kettle on'.
      'Than', (in your case), used when making a comparison: 'It cost more than I could afford'.. The comparison is 'this is more than that'...

      This should help you get it right:
      'Phenomenon' is singular
      'Phenomena' (in your case) is plural (more than one)

      The Inca say that the structures were already built before they got there. The Inca did not have the skills or knowledge to build the megalithic structures. There are often three different styles of stonework with the higher quality was on the bottom, a lesser quality in the middle and the Incan on the top is of very poor quality compared to the other two.

    what I really love about this series is how respectful it is of these old world civilizations, it always finds something to praise them for instead of calling them primitive or simple.
    like commenting on how pretty the thatch roofs must have looked. To us they might not have looked very special but to the people living at that time it must have been. really pulls you into what it might have been like living at this age, awesome stuff.

      The buildings themselves even more impressive. There is no cement. Just stone. And those stones were carved without iron tools, so...stone on stone. And in an area that sees minor earthquakes often, it's amazing that they're still standing. If you look into the corners of some bldgs at Machu Picchu, it's even more marvelous, when you see how closely they fit together

I got rooms and day tours for under $30. $80 dollars a day for a single traveler doing lots of stuff and stuffing my face..lol
      Hint..flights are cheap and fast in Peru. Buses are super nice but unless your going up or down the coastal highway, they are slow in the mountains.
      Huscarean park and Trujillo in the north are not as popular as places in The South but should be. The one is a mountain park. The other is a city with a very nice square and many ruins from 2 cultures right outside town.
      Loved spain, Austria, Turkey and believe it or not southern Mexico. Maya mexico was super safe, lots of ruins, jungle and cloud forests, native Americans which were nice just not down by cancun. Merida, Palenque, San cristabol de la casas was a trip back in time.

    True intelligence has, at its heart, a welcoming presence that brings a light of knowledge onto the populace. Rare is the gift of oratory that transfixes an audience to fully injest mounds of information, only to want more. Mr. Copper, your talents are immeasurable at bringing dusted history to living life with the best historical documentaries I have ever seen! I am a huge history buff, having watched every serious television historical documentary series made over the past four decades and your work is unequalled. You elicit an incredible range of emotions from your audience with your poetic and lyrical approach to the all-too-often tragic ends of past world cultures. Let the lesson ring out every time that we see one of your newest episodes.....every cultural operational system that helps a civilization exist is far more fragile than we can ever think.
