@@lunarrn Built to accommodate as many as 16, but not planning for more than a dozen.

@@farmlandon9893 Thanks!

Thank you very much!

Hey thanks for watching and sharing a bit about your ancestors' history!

@@BeyondtheRange If you haven't visited the Indian Pueblo Culture Center in Albuquerque, its a must, it gives you a glimpse of Pueblo life & culture in current times.

@@scarletred1497 No, I haven't visited. But it's on my list now! :) Thanks for the recommendation.

@@BeyondtheRange not a problem, have travels .

Ha ha, good ears!

Sounds like you had an incredible connection with Chaco. The site enchants, that's for sure. Hoping you get a chance to visit if you haven't. Thank you for the documentary and book recommendations!

Thank you! Hoping to have another one soon.

Wow thank you!

Thanks again!

Yes, that tunnel is pitch black. Thankfully it is short, narrow, and one-way. So impossible to get lost! Hope you enjoyed your time in that beautiful land. Thanks for watching.

I run there every other week. Natives still exist. And just to let this guy know, is try not to stick around this place for too long. Us natives keep it sacred, it's a pilgrimage multi trade industry. Please don't destroy or touch anything, and what your saying about the philosophy is half true. A lot of ghosts their

​@@shiverarts8284😂😂😂

im glad i found your channel

Good point. Makes you wonder…

Absolutely fascinating, going to subscribe and binge your channel now haha

Very kind words from you. Thanks. Following you back! Happy exploring.

Hey, thanks for your comments and compliments! Yeah, Chaco really is magical, isn't it? What time of year did you visit? I'd love to get back there again... maybe for the winter solstice?

We were there late October. Maybe the 29th or 30th of 2018. Next time we are going to camp there for a night. Tried to visit Mesa Verde as well. But it closed on October 31st. We missed it by one day.

Good questions. Clearly, the connection between earth and sky was so important to ancient people that they incorporated geocosmic alignments and themes into their architecture and art. Thus, everywhere they looked, they were reminded of this linkage. And you're right, it all seems related to creating, doesn't it?

@@BeyondtheRange Why :) Why is always the best question... why do YOU think they align their temples? Energy? Alchemy? Magnetism? Portal? Haha

thank you for these links and this information.

Thanks for watching! I sure hope I can go back some day. Have you been?

@@BeyondtheRange no :( but I know the site very well . The megalithes are spectacular but they hide something from us. and this is what they look like ruclips.net/video/8WShetjiNZ4/видео.html . They found that in 2007 .. it hints; at the halls of information, behind the walls of mystification.

Thanks for your informative response! Yes there is a great deal of discussion by Spanish chroniclers about how Sacsayhuaman was built, isn't there? My personal opinion is that it's difficult to say with certainty how much of these writings are based upon hearsay, poor translation, exaggeration, or pure fabrication. It seems that the conquistadors, like many of their Inca sources, were not only guilty of unintentional personal bias; they likely also had numerous motivations for intentionally massaging the narrative of Peru's history, including cultural/religious arrogance and political maneuvering. It's also interesting to note that, with the exception of de León, Zarate, de Betanzos, and a few others, most chroniclers lived or wrote their perspectives long after (sometimes centuries after) the conquest of the Incas; I wonder how many, if any, actually witnessed Sacsayhuaman's construction. I also can't help but wonder if the rock-moving described by Cobo and others only documents the deconstruction of Sacsayhuaman by local laborers (the Spanish employed teams of indigenous workers to pillage the site for stonework for Spanish churches, leaving the heaviest stones in place), rather than the construction. Protzen's experiment was very informative, too. If I recall correctly, didn't he use cobblestones and a method of dressing that are comparably smaller and cruder than the large stones and precision cuts found at Sacsayhuaman? Such fascinating questions about an amazing place! Hopefully we will continue to learn more about its history! I'm very grateful for your comments.

Andrew C Katen One thong is for sure, Peru is an enigmatic country. It is the Egypt of the Americas.

@@etchalaco9971 Yes that is for sure!

Thanks for your kind words. Very glad you enjoyed!

Thank you. Happy you enjoyed!

Thank you, Harvey! Glad you enjoyed it!

Fascinating information! Thanks so much for posting. The concept of "as above, so below" seems to woven into so many ancient symbols, rituals, and architecture, doesn't it? In another of my videos ("Quillarumiyoc: Moonstone of the Andes"), I discuss the famous stepped arc embedded into a limestone outcrop on the plains of Anta (~30 miles NW of Cusco). The number of steps carved into the rock is 7. Many believe the shape is of the moon. However, in your post, you mention that "we see the 7 in colors, rainbows, music notes, chakras, etc." Do you believe the shape at Quillarumiyoc is indeed a rainbow? Do you have other interpretations of this mysterious site? I'd like to learn more about the number 7 and how it fits into the concepts you discuss. you recommend some books or videos? Thanks again for the interesting post!

@@BeyondtheRange I'm sorry for the delay in replying. I do not see how the shape of the moon. I can see some meanings, among them, I see our galaxy. In the center in circle format is the sun. the 7 surrounding squares would be the 7 planets visible to the eyes, which would be Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, Moon and Earth. Most ancient peoples considered the moon as a planet. The larger square in the middle may be the moon, as the moon seen from the earth gives an impression of greater vision, it was represented in a greater way than the others. The other meaning I see is an alliance. The meaning of 7 represents an alliance between God and the Human Being. as I said in the above comment, 4 is the number human being, for it is man is constituted of the 4 kingdoms. and 3 is the number of the divine, in all religions the entities are represented as 3. So, Human and God is equal to 4 + 3 which is equal to 7. And as in the shape of the rock is an arch, like a rainbow. It may indeed be the representation of an alliance of their God with them. Perhaps the same God represented in the bible manifested itself to them in a different way. Four thousand years ago, a great Egyptian philosopher named Hermes Trimegistus wrote some books of great wisdom, I recommend you look for his books. But first of all, read a book of Hermes trimegist called "Kybalion" that is a book containing the 7 laws governing existence. It turns out to be a key to you to interpret many things, is a book to read all the life, is simple, but very deep and significant. And I also recommend that you search for Sacred Geometry. I'm grateful to help.

@@NatanLiborio This is fascinating! Thanks for posting this information. I am, indeed, familiar with Hermes Trismegistus and the principles of "As Above, So Below," as well as Sacred Geometry. But your explanation of Quillarumiyoc, its seven-stepped crescent, and relevance to the link between man and God is eye-opening. You clearly are very knowledgeable about these matters. I hope you continue to post and follow my videos! Cheers!

Thanks Harvey! I do have lots more video and footage of Ollantaytambo. I agree with you: it is one of the most incredible sites in Peru. Hoping to get another video put together soon! Thanks.

@@BeyondtheRange My next illustrated video is going to be of Ollantay,,, so I'm collecting images of the lazy stones and the twisted stone near sun temple stones,,. and a few other hints/clues at Ollay, that show that L.A.H.T. is a must for such incredible stonework. Hey,, do you ever wonder why Roman roads and bridges are still in use today,, but the Urabamba river doesn't have a single crossing with any amazing stonework/polygonal footings?! In the same way that Egyptologists claim that much of the stone at Osirion and Giza came from Aswan across the Nile,,, in Ollayantaytambo it's claimed that those stones crossed the urabamba! Unless that river goes totally dry. Does it? -H

​@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 Looking forward to your video about Ollantaytambo! I've been too busy to finish my next video (also on Ollantaytambo) but hopefully will get that out soon. Interesting question about the lack of surviving Inca bridges and roads. After crossing a bridge at Ollantaytambo, I was told that its megalithic pilings were of "Inca" origin, but I cannot verify this... My guess is that few Inca bridges remain because they were 1) never built or 2) destroyed by the forces of nature. Andean rivers (including the Urubamba) are steep and swift, prone to cyclic flooding and the ever-present threat of earthquakes. Plus, the Incas are not know to have used the arch (a design evident in most ancient bridges that are still in use). So, perhaps they avoided stone bridgework altogether (favoring rope instead, which is easier and faster to repair), or maybe the stone bridges they did construct have long since failed because they were built without the arch. As for Inca roads, some have survived, but many more have been washed out (a threat that exists today for both ancient and modern Andean roads). What are your thoughts on this?

I just don't have any original footage. I wish I could go there and take some great photos rather than use/steal what I can find online. I've watched so many BF videos that I feel like I've actually been there!!!! Oy. I hope that when I do get there that Olly will still blow my mind! At the end of my videos I give credits to Hidden Inca Tours as I learn so much from him. Your videos are so much better than his though.

I just noticed that there's a 2nd part to your reply from a day ago! I didn't see this yesterday. Oops. Yes,, about the lack of ancient bridges and roads that match the amazing polygonal stonework of Machu, Olly,, and Sacsay,,,,, -I can't see why nobody talks about this lack of amazing megalithic stonework as bridges or roads! It is a clear clue to me that this is proof that the ancients simply didn't need roads and bridges. And why would that be? Either they didn't go anywhere,, which we know isn't true,, OR they didn't travel across the ground like the Incas and everybody else did until the invention of the helicopter/airplane. If the builders of Machu, Olly, Sacsay, wanted to build a bridge that couldn't be washed away or knocked over by an earthquake,, I'm certain that they could have/would have. But roads weren't needed by them any more than a bird needs a skateboard. Why didn't they need roads and bridges? They did get around,, and they did haul a lot of big stones across rivers!!! Sacsay was the center of things several thousand years ago,, and the builders were able to get around to the other megalithic locations easily regardless of their altitudes,, because they didn't walk along the ground. If there was JUST ONE bridge or the riverside abutments of just one bridge,, then I would think otherwise. But I haven't seen it. And nobody seems to care or notice this! I'll do a video on it too eventually. Right now I also suddenly found myself too busy to finish this Olly video OR to get started on this 'Lack of Polygonal Megalithic Ancient Bridges of Peru' video. It's going to be a busy Summer. I will be going to Peru next year though,, if it kills me. I have mysteries to try to solve (try to). -H

Definitely a lot of questions about this place. Perhaps Sacsayhuaman was built with massive numbers of workers, dirt ramps, wooden rollers, and levers and ropes, according to conventional theory. But the process of shaping and re-shaping these stones to get the precise fit between interlocking blocks must have been slow, tedious, and extremely dangerous. The stone surfaces also exhibit many strange indentations and scrape features; how and why were these created in limestone? Given the Bronze Age tools of the Incas, construction of an architectural feat like Sacsayhuaman is truly puzzling. How were the precision benches of the Rodadero fashioned with only stone hammers? I don't believe anyone has ever replicated this in modern times. How to explain the layout and design of Muyu Marca? And the cataclysmic field of overturned stones? And the rocks cuts that seem to have been made with a saw? You're right -- there are still so many questions. We must keep an open mind.

It's not like Rome,, where everything makes sense. And it's all just really old. Everything around Sacsayhuaman just doesn't seem identifiable. Relatable. Stonework should not be a mystery. Hey,, I am currently working on my next video which is about trapezoidal doorways,, and I'm wondering if you can answer something for me! ?? I'm noticing that there aren't any hinge marks on the door jambs. You were there,, You took a lot of photos. Do you think there were ever any doors on the double jam gateway at Ollyantetambo? or Sacsay? It appears that they never had doors in these stone entrances,, Thnx.

Thanks so much, Harvey. I'm glad you liked the videos, and I really appreciate your feedback. Nope, I did not carry my tent -- the horses hauled the heavy stuff! A handful of folks were on the trek with me, but my time in Cusco and environs was spent solo. There are a lot of trekking outfits in Peru these days, offering just about any sort of experience you can imagine. Right back at you with the kudos -- you've created some fascinating videos about Peru and other topics, and I hope you will be making more!

Thanks, Harvey! According to my site guide, Llaqtallaqtayoc is pre-Inca. However, I've been unable to find any other information about this place. The pirca style of stone and adobe is seen in other "Inca" structures; also, use of a stucco facade has been theorized at Choquequirao (which some believe was built by imported Chachapoya workers). However, the Wari, Killke, and Chanca occupied this region before (and perhaps overlapping with) the Inca. So, teasing out exact timelines or the architectural influence of each of these cultures is not easy. Much of our knowledge about Inca "history" is based on the 16th- and 17th-century accounts of Spanish chroniclers, which in turn are based on information given to them by the Inca, which in turn may be more "mythology" than "history." And while many sites in Peru have been "observed" and described in recent times (such as my video), surprisingly few in-depth or far-reaching archaeological studies have been conducted. In my opinion, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered about the history of this incredible land!

Lot's of questions! That's why I started out with 'How to videos'. As I figured someone needs to put forth some kind of answer! Even if it's just suggested a tech that we don't have,, clearly it's been don. I'll try to wrap up my next video this weekend. Did I mention it's about trapezoidal windows? Yah,, and I'm winding up with a lot of questions there too,, and not enough answers!

Your last statement sparks a question,, the part about surprisingly few in depth or far-reaching archaeological studies,, Why is it that the government of Puru isn't actively researching one of the 7 megalithic sites? Just one!!! If that valley were in the U.S.,, you know we'd be digging the heck out of it to try to truly ID the tech or to figure out how it was possible to do. In the US,, a place like Ollantetambo would have become area 52. And there would be a 'Skunkworks' program there trying to figure out levitation tech and molecular manipulation of stone,, etc. OllanteTambo is my favorite by the way. I need to get to your last hike video,, in fact. I'm going to go check it out right now.

@@intriguingmegalithicperspe1764 I know what you mean. It's fun to explore these ancient places and their mysteries. And in the end, it always seems like we're left with more questions than answers!

@@BeyondtheRange A box of mysteries with Enigmas hiding right underneath them,, -I look forward to the last part of your MoonStone trek. When you arrive at Ollyantetambo! There's a lof of studying to be done there. A lot of answers. AND the best Polygonal Stonework in the entire valley! It will be a year or more before I can get there,,,

Thanks, Harvey. Yes, Sacsayhuaman is a "mindboggling" place, indeed. Peru certainly is loaded with mysteries. Prior to my visit, I'd done research and was well aware of the size of these stones and their impressive fit; however, seeing them in person really gave me pause. Like you, I want to avoid inaccuracies, confabulation, or letting my imagination get the best of me - but I'm sure I'll say something "stupid" in a video from time to time :). What I do know is that I left Sacsayhuaman with more questions than answers. The upside-down stairs and precision cut stonework are hard to explain in terms of the bronze age technology that many archaeologists theorize was used; if nothing else, it seems we still have much to learn about this place and the people who lived here. I look forward to watching your videos! Please let me know when the next one is out; sounds like a fascinating topic. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, and I look forward to learning more about your interest in Peru and continuing this discussion!

I too am looking for more information surrounding the Kilke culture .... Especially art .

Thanks, Harvey! Glad you enjoyed this!

Thanks for your comment, Lisa! I'm really glad you liked the video! Yes, the chakana is a mysterious symbol, isn't it? I'd love to know what got you interested in wearing the design, and what it means to you! If you (or anyone else) comes across more good info on this symbol, please share for the rest of us! :)
