Machu Picchu's Hidden Secrets | Blowing Up History: Seven Wonders

This is nice!

How did they get those massive uncarved granite blocks up to the top? Some of them over 100 ton?

So how many man-hours do you think it took to build that whole city? Were there even enough men with enough hours to perform such a task?

Ancient people were 100times more stronger than present generation .Like for example ,i have a big agricultural land in my village about 50 acres ,and my parent only can utilise about 10 acres of that total area using modern machinery & helpers but my grandparents used to cultivate every inch in that 42 acres with their hands only n no labourers ,thats how people were stronger in olden days .There is a big canal for irrigation too which my grandfather dug out himself ..at first i didnt believe coz its impossible for us to do ..but actually he did it himself ,Even with the help of excavator it will take months 😂😂😂

By the way I do think that questions like "who cuts the rock and why, why cant they cut wood and not rocks?" started to pour in. That too such huge rocks?? And so dwellers of Machu Pichhu thought it ideal for a mountain so high that they cud carry out rock cutting (their hobby or new adventure probably or some rich man asked them to) in *an uninterrupteed manner*...that is what I wud do if barred from doing something I liked to do. Hide and work (or enjoy).

I never thought of cutting a rock even if it was all around me. All I felt like it wud be rock that could cut me easily if some power strong to move that rock toward me existed around me. Why would anyone think of cutting rocks that too make cities? Precut rock structures like caves in mountians could be one inspiration but otherwise on a nice sunny day me roaming around baskinf in the sun looking for fruits from trees would never even think about cutting the rocks...and their lack of ability to be cut easily would thwart my whim easily. When was first rock cut? In stone age? Sure..but I wasnt there. I was in 20th century. So trying to understand ancestors and why they did what they did is not easy for me not just due to generational gap but also due to normal necessity or ease of doing things.

Pikachu be like machuuu pichuuu wtf they steal my name 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

But how did they move those massive blocks to the top of a huge cliff from miles away?

Hinduism oldest living dharma ❤

Transformers "the rise of the beast" says 👋

Jose Bastante is very handsome. Is he married ?

Summer place for the emperor, ever tone knows, come on..

The Incas didn't build this. Stop with the lies Incas built the smal shit with mortar not the big shit with no mortar it's pretty obvious to seee how they built on top of the older shit. A fucking 10 can spot that.

Newsflash!! The Incas did not build the wonders. They were good & organized, but found most of what one sees.
Both were only around for 200 years and added to what they found.

Machu Picchu sits atop a massive ancient petrified tree stump.

"with precision" where tf do you see that tell me. The rock is all irregular and rough, no flat surfaces. Those in the buildings have unbelievable straight edges that fit together perfectly. Cut 2 equal edges smashing a rock like that. We'll see if our opinions change

Has the shadow been checked recently?

There is so much we don't know and i think about this and Egypt pyramids every day, It's such a fun thing to think of but annoyin🙃 love it!!!

Incredible Masonry Skills from Ancient Civilizations indeed! ... 🙏 Thank You So Much for this Beautifully filmed short documentary! 🌷🌿🌍💜🕊

Amazing indeed!... Thank you

Pure conjecture based on almost nothing...and flying in the face of simple observation. Inca as the original builders (and their time-frame) has been refuted time and again by scientist and geologists...without making a dent in the orthodox assertions. Real research on HOW and WHEN this, and related mysteries that don't fit the narrative, were ORIGINALLY built is repeatedly blocked...and replaced by this fiction.

annoying and useless sound effects

These places were probably built by the gods, I don't think they could have made these places by banging rocks together whoever made these places knew how to construct indestructible structures.

I know recently very difficult to give explanations to why those mega structures were build up. Machu pucchu this words meaning mother and father (matru and pitruu) worshipped mother and father is part of our culture . The stone fit with precisely use five acids formula mix to melt rock. ( evidence still find in my country ) and we also celebrate sun make 90° degree with earth even now.

This is utter rubbish! In no way could anciant people cut perfect granite blocks using copper chisels and pounding stones let alone carry them up sheer cliffs. These walls were inherited from a highly advanced technolgically advanced perople. Get your facts right!

Another Incas did it bs video.....

this is kool. I wot you to make more vetevos.

Incredible place to visit.Also ingenious are the terraces for growing crops, making Machu Picchu very productive bring water into the city from distant sources.

oh wow he chipped a random piece of it with his chunk of rock mallet.... I'm so SURE that's EXACTLY how they made precise shapes and angles. also, i imagine they just roped a bunch of mountain sheep to pull it into place ..yeah, ok

Ancient aliens say YES

I prefer these documentaries when they admit that they don't know what it's for, rather than rope in an "expert" to give us his opinion with absolutely no proof. Pure conjecture.

I know nothing whatsoever about the INCAS. just ran across this today. I'm american. Usually studying western Asia.
I would think for many reasons INCAS CHOSE TOPS OF MOUNTAINS.
1.) IMPASSABLE,
2.) GOOD EARTH FOR GROWING,
3.) THEY LOOKED TO THE STARS. PROBABLY THOUGHT THE HIGHER U ARE THR CLOSER U ARE TO THE GODS.
DYING IS PART OF LIFE, RATHER THAN RUN, THEY EMBRACE, TRY TO UNDERSTAND IT, RATHER.
4.) SYMBOLIC OF POWER.
5.) ... NOT SURE

I guarantee u.. if u want to know where the people went I promise U. U can find Many of them down that mountain side. Thrown off, fought & thrown off. ITZ just too CONVENIENT

Incas didn't have tech but they had coke lol

I adore you

How did they get all that stone up there. How did they lift the stones.

The inca just built on top of previous structures

@discoveryuk. How was this released so recently with such verbal pollution? Show how the pyramids were graves for 1 king. That would match this pathetic example of research and documentation.

There's a tomb on the mountain of this place but the government does not want anyone to touch it and they put a blockage around it so it's harder for you to even find it maybe if it was me I would still find it anyway

One thing they will never admit is the UFO part in this. What are these weird drawings they drew time and time again? Pulleys all the way up the mountain or hitting rocks. While I'm not saying humans aren't capable of such craziness of labor. There's clearly something BIG missing in this puzzle...the school types will reject Alien influence but the truth will reveal itself no need for me to defend it.

Petrified titans in the house.

Fake..

Thanks for showing the history of our people original live as our Ancestors promise us. Can any one contact me to talk about our cultures? Thanks(ta blu)

Earlier civilizations are much more intelligent than we give them credit for. If you are wondering about how Inkas built using Granite, you will have to look at South Indian temples where Granite block was sculpted into most beautiful structures.

Intelligent understands nature is god.
Fools believes god is sitting above and calculating their entry to hell or heaven
