  • Living in Peru gives me the opportunity to explore ancient places that only local people know about. In this video we explored Chullpa burial towers above the tree line, and an Inca fort showing signs of older megalithic constructions. Come tour with us in 2017:hiddenincatour...

      Andy Flores ..don't follow the caveman bullshit.. NO INDIANS OR EUROPEANS DIDN'T BUILD ANY MEGALITH OR PYRAMIDS- the europeans Never met ANY Incas, and when they ask the mongols who built them They has no clue or evidence such as the Olmecs head

      When asked "What's the hardest thing for human beings to say?" - feely-type* people say, we can't say "I love you!" very well. However, beset as we are by the incredibly hypocritical Dr. Phillish bullshit - "I WUV U!! GIVE ME YOUR MONEY!" I would hold we are back to the hardest-to-spew being: "I DON"T KNOW." People HATE feeling ignorant, they will happily fabricate the most ridiculous nonsense just to have SOMETHING to say. Non-inventive types will just purchase other people's "facts."
      Like - there are a little bit more than 200 known separate religious branches. Many are similar, but 200 (or so) accounts for the really different, discrete batches of hung-together belief systems. And each one of them has an organized, sequential and ranked set of "facts" about the origin of the universe, the world, and US, each one of them have a PLAN for you when you die - and they all (happily?) acknowledge that 199 of them are WRONG. AND "WE CAN PROVE IT!" Really. We CAN.
      We do NOT NEED any explanation which goes ANY further than is needed to explain each anomaly. There is no unified theory of everything, and every attempt (so far) veers into ludicrous when trying to rope in the furthest-flung facts. I am AGREEING with you here BTW, at least I think so? We need a LOT more "I don't knows" out there because once you "KNOW" - you stop LOOKING, right? At least that's what MY guru say. Oh, and send me all your money too, so then I can explain all the secret parts. We take Paypal....

    @trisharay-saulis7831 7 років тому +55

    Thank you so much for sharing. Even now for our tribes in the north, we prefer the lava rock over all other rock. That and what we call "pipestone". Lava rock, when heated in the sacred fire, does not blow up no matter how hot it gets. It is naturally resistant to reaction to heat and is very hard. So it is the natural preference, at least here it is. I imagine, this would be the same for them. We believe that as these rocks heat up, the spirit in them are released and when the sun hits them, it is part of a natural purification process. When our ancestors die, they go into the ground and become part of the earth and the rocks and so we call the rocks "our grandmothers and grandfathers". It is believed that when these rocks heat up, the prayers and purposes of the lives of our ancestors are released into the atmosphere and can protect, heal, guide and inspire. Not sure if this offers any insight to the Inca culture or not, but I have learned from traveling all over, that tribes from any land are not very different from one another as far as the spiritual motivations go, because they are all earth based, so there are vast similarities in the indigenous behaviors.

  • @gregparrott

    Your videos provide an excellent introduction to those of us who are curious about ancient civilizations but lack the in depth knowledge you have. Thanks for posting. Was the basaltic rock used in pre-Inca construction also locally available to the Incas or was the basalt transported from some distant source?
    The weathered mountains shown in the video did not reveal any granite outcroppings. This suggests that the basalt was not obtained locally but instead had to be transported substantial distances.

    • @brienfoerster
      @brienfoerster  7 років тому +5

      A distant source; only one large quarry one hour drive south of Cusco.

    • @gregparrott
      @gregparrott 7 років тому +7

      That makes it even more amazing! An hour's drive is probably a day's walk or more, especially when attempting to transport stone. The conventional understanding is that the ancient societies did not have wheeled vehicles and may not have even harnessed animals for transport. Even a single cinder block sized stone would be a challenge to transport, let alone the 1200 ton stones you've shown in your video of Baalbek!

      @RickGuyver 7 років тому +2

      ok, that's got me head scratching. Is it just me, or does the whole area around the doorway look cgi blended? Not trying to over-speculate, but is it possible that it could just be a glitch in a hologram, and that the software designers got the materials in reverse order?

    • @Larsanator

    • @salamanca1954
      @salamanca1954 7 років тому +11

      In places where you see sound stonework underlaid with Inca work, it is very likely that when found it still had some slight support underneath which the Inca augmented by filling in the voids with their own work. That megalithic, interlocking style is mutually supporting and highly earthquake resistant, so it is possible that without much bottom support an entire segment of stonework could survive locked in place. Having been on tour with Brien I can tell you that most times the Inca work overlies the older megalithic work. In the section where a megalithic gateway has Inca work beneath, you can see to the right where a section of megalithic work had crumbled, and then had been sloppily replaced, with Inca work below and above. The joins in sound megalithic work are essentially air tight. You cannot get a piece of paper, or a hair, between two stones.

    • @salamanca1954
      @salamanca1954 7 років тому +9

      I'm not sure what your PhD is in, but what you wrote here is ridiculous. Go to Peru and see it for yourself. No CGI is necessary to astound you when you are standing in front of incredibly precise work in multi ton polygonal stones.

    • @mikethomas9235
      @mikethomas9235 7 років тому

      That's because it IS Incan, similar to the Incan architecture in Sacsayhuamán and elsewhere. I don't know where this guy is getting his info, but it is wrong.

    • @salamanca1954
      @salamanca1954 7 років тому +10

      The Inca did not build Sachsayhuaman. In traditional Inca culture, the story states that it was already there when the Inca arrived. There is no traditional record of how or why the giant megalithic work was done by the Inca. All we have are corrupted stories from the Spanish conquistadores and Catholic friars, augmented by modern assumptions. It is a fact that to this day nobody, and I mean nobody, has been able to demonstrate the techniques that created multi-ton polygonal megalithic walls with stones the size of cars joined so tightly without mortar that a hair cannot go between them. And it is patently impossible that the tools the Inca possessed when encountered by the Spanish were capable of the work. If you are in Peru you can see evidence of at least three distinct cultures that inhabited the same lands at different times, and the youngest of those is plainly the Inca.

    • @pasander4371

      No es que sean extraterrestres sino que es muy notable la diferencia en las piedras usadas y la técnica de construir. Yo personalmente creo que a habido civilizaciones mucho mas antiguas en el pasado de las cuales no sabemos y solo nos quedan sus rastros. La historia del ser humano sobre la tierra parece ser mucho mas antigua de lo que se cree.

      I am going there this summer(2019 - 5 day hike). I have read recently that nothing has been started yet on the cable. I have also read that it may not even happen now. I hope it doesn't, it will turn this into a 'Disneyland' type attraction and ruin it forever. The government wants to increase visits from 6,000 visitors a year to 2,000,000 to match revenue Machu Pichu brings in. There are enough theme parks in the world, lets leave the real stuff alone.

      Reality of the physical world maybe? What could hold the magma to make a form? Or vessel? Where are the remnants of the processes? Every culture leaves something behind but the thought of using magma in a controlled manner even today is incredibly difficult and dangerous. I know your response will be.....but ancient technology bla bla bla. You are just like the guy on ancient aliens who yells aliens at every cloud in the sky.
