Sacsayhuamán Quick Facts #Shorts #minidocumentary

#Shorts
Did you know about Sacsayhuamán which is a citadel located in Cusco, Peru ? It was hypothesized that the citadel was built by the Inca in the 15th century but this is still under debate.
Sacsayhuamán is a fortress built with megalithic stones as bricks. It is located at 12000 feet. It is surrounded by walls 60 feet tall, and 1600 feet to 3000 feet long built from blocks weighing 100 to 200 tons each. All the monoliths from Sacsayhuamán have different shapes and weights but there are no two identical stones. The huge stones fit well and stay together without mortar, and it is a mystery how the builders cut them.
Sometimes one cannot fit a needle in between stones. No earthquake moved them. The age of this construction is hard to be established. Based on the erosion of the stones one may guess an age of these walls of 15 to 20 thousands years or even 30 thousands years. Sacsayhuamán is one of the most mysterious ancient constructions on the planet. It was used as a location for Inca ceremonies.
The Inca didn’t have the use of iron or steel to cut the stones. The construction of Sacsayhuaman is an engineering marvel considering that the Inca people did not use the wheel to transport the large blocks. It is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Saqsaywaman, Саксайуаман, Sacsayhuaman.

Some guy is prolly gonna be like “The aliens built it!”

[harrowgateguy]

Thank you. People think we know how old the megalithic structures are but we don’t.

[crazymotherofcats]

SaxyWoman🤣🤣🤣 I will never say it correctly again

[johnbrooker]

If stone were liquefied or in some other way put into a liquid type situation poured in big bags and then lit set it would look like with this is kind of bulging out in the middle but everything fits and the bags disintegrate over time they’re removedWhat do you think

[codyneuburg]

Wow hope I get on the little train to get there someday

[mackjones]

There's no way the Inca built that. It's older than them. There were people there that knew how to do that before them or the Maya

[thatswhatshesaid.literally]

If any "expert" is still on the fence of whether the Inca built those walls made of stones weighing hundreds of tons, using no mortar and shaped to absolute perfection, then they lose their title of "expert". It's _incredibly_ obvious that the Inca found the megalithic ruins and built atop those foundations. You can clearly see two vastly different types of construction; one before the Inca, and the construction the Inca did ontop of that. There is absolutely no comparison between the two, so any "expert" saying the Inca did both is a quack.

Sacsayhuaman sounds like "sexy woman" 🙃

[constipatedinsincity]

Katrina has a place in Cusco named after her !

[RebeccaBryson]

There's no way the Inca built those unless they had the ancient knowledge of how to use the technology to move them and to cut them.

[johnnieowens]

Yeah 6 foot people wuth painted faces built this. They used flying cranes . Then they flew the cranes to the dark side of the moon.

[johndelong]

Petrfied flood mud, Built while soft, then petrified.Same as giza, stonehenge etc.Many neolithic sites used this method.

[CrispyGrey]

A giant snake was present for the formation of the earth. All those stones fit together like this are the remains of the scales of that snake. You would be surprised at what you see once you open your mind, s eye or ' camera of the God's'.

[Dreadzone_ink]

They weren't cut, they were built by how they make concrete made of a burlap style bags and a barrier made of wood probably.

[mong]

I think they had a method of softening stone. Cut it in it's original place then restacked them how they cut them from original bedrock.

[rexpardus]

Those buildings were melted into the mountain .. no bow hunter will do that

[belindahawkins]

With the uneven of these rocks u would think there would have been a collapse
As u can see they have a method for that prevention
And they use all the materials available and I mean all
Nothing goes to waste

[danbujor]

Same at Alatri, near Rome 's airport. I always wonder why that is not noticed !!!

Many a guide will instruct English-speakers on tour in Cusco to start with the words Sexy Woman (cringe), and work from there:
Sexy-Woman…
