Exploring Machu Picchu With A Local Native Guide

[@vintagebikewurx3730]

Thanks for bringing us along Brien! Love it. You seem to be the most active and most consistent presence on megalithic architecture. To me that makes you the foremost expert.

[@scottnewman2082]

What a amazing place, scenery, everything

[@davejames885]

Thanks Brien! So cool for this live feed at to pop up at 1.30AM in Sydney!

[@peterbracchi3871]

Thank you Brien I’m sitting here in Vancouver Washington enjoying my morning coffee and just getting tuned up and thank you for that beautiful beautiful scenery

[@matst3469]

What a awesome place.

[@masterroshi6983]

Can you imagine living all the way up there?! That's so amazing, it feels like heaven and I havent even been there in person.

[@Replayability]

Help! We're being attacked by a giant finger!

[@iandalziel7405]

literally a digital artefact. or the Finger of God!

Amazes me so many of the rock walls surrounding the terraces look so nice/are still intact.

[@Shyeena]

Brian - Thank you for taking me there. I doubt i could ever go in my lifetime.

[@robertkoford471]

Thanks for posting another video. I am curious about the water level, of the river, at different time periods. Beautiful shots. The steepness is incredible.

[@jlee111776]

Those guides will just tell you anything... won't they?

[@Billysmailbox]

WOW That's amazing

[@poppabearskitchen1769]

Amazing place, it would have been glorious in the time when the original builders were there. thank you and be safe.

[@marinebean420]

Thank goodness the Spanish did not find this place or they would have destroyed it and built catholic churches up there.

[@steve-o6413]

The Guide speakes of Realms where important Life (animals) exist. Terracing or transforming the Mountains was a part of their Spiritual Beliefs, although in Western Eyes it could be seen as a Competing Religion. I view this as Engineering (Transforming) the Mountain for different types of Life from the Animal Kingdom to the Insect Kingdom to the Bacterial Kingdom. To achieve this you must first Homes and Nourishment from the Plant Kingdom. Each Kingdom depends on the other Kingdoms and can exist in Abundance and in Harmony when in Balance. Proving that Life can Exist and Flourishes even on top of a Mountain if Engineered Properly. Possibly a Clue left by an Advanced Civilization...

Thank u for sharing this.

[@Thex-W.I.T.C.H.-xMaster]

WE NEED TO RETHINK EVERYTHING WE THINK WE KNOW ABOUT OUR HISTORY. Let’s get real here. The Inca built on that megalithic site thousands of years AFTER the original builders constructed it. That should be obvious because the whole site isn’t megalithic just some parts of it. If the whole site was built by the Inca’s the whole site would have the same construction.... 😒🙄.

[@leemaples1806]

we`re coming to realize this is often the case. lots of smaller stone work in and around huge finely crafted blocks we know are from a much older time, before the inca settled there and started calling themselves the inca.

[@Mr.Grimsdale]

@@leemaples1806 There is no proof that this site was megalithic.

Amazing place

Another great video! The reason you have reception is because you have a Hualwei phone. 😁

[@gemineye9796]

What a beautiful place in the world to visit, but my goodness I felt like I was going to pass out watching your video with it being so high up due to my fear of heights eeek

[@argomagma]

HAve you visited the Inca Bridge, there in Machu Pichu ? it's not megalitic but it's astonishing !

[@ericpowell7547]

I'm guessing there isn't a frost in the ground at that location during the winter, because without the proper drainage, frost would heave and push the stone work, toppling the walls. Thanks Brien.

[@leonwalker723]

Don't you think the builders might have taken this into consideration

[@mmarioescareno]

My fear of heights might prohibit me from joining This tour

[@PapaKryptoss]

I want to live there

[@adriansun2999]

Simlpe. Very good.

[@etchalaco9971]

5:11 In Cusco, the Inca held court in Qoricancha, a temple with "very high quality construction," so due to its structural similarity with the one in Machu Picchu, it is safe to assume that that is where the Inca stayed when they were there. Hiram Bingham didn't just say "oh that's where the royal family lived" as if he had pulled it out of his you know what.

[@DogSerious]

Those mountains pique my interest!

[@freedom1439]

When I went on the 2 nite 3 day hike, I was amazed at the people that live there. Corn is grown inches from a 500 foot drop......the people seem to have no sense of time......

[@vintagebikewurx3730]

One day I hope to do the same. Awesome. Maybe harvested technologically?

[@fallynblue]

Is it true you have to book with a guide there now? We did it solo, but overheard some of the guides and were glad we didn't opt for them.

[@iandalziel7405]

I read this in an article today: "Regulations allow only 500 people (roughly 200 tourists and 300 porters) to start the Inca Trail each day. The advice we had was that to get a space in peak season, September to November, with a reputable company it was necessary to book six months in advance.

How can you persuade the authorities to open up the tomb? How can this just go unexplored?

[@erikmoller84]

Visually beautiful. Unfortunately unable to hear, or make out what the guide was saying.

[@jimmime]

The Inca followed the trail that was there before they were there. I wonder where that came from.

[@drumcircler]

Your finger keeps starring in your videos. Grip change due.

[@apex.amatuer]

I think the streaming isn't worth it. Much better to video in higher resolution and upload later. It's 2019. No excuse for such poor quality. Honestly no one needs live video of megaliths.

[@jaym1244]

Agreed, would much rather have quality over streaming.

Is there a picture of what it looked like at the time it was occupied? Why did people stop living there? Also, how did they get water up there?

[@geecee3478]

I was there in November last year & our tour guide wouldn't even consider the possibility of megalithic stone work at Machu Picchu- in fact he was very defensive & got quite pissed off when I mentioned it. He insisted that it was early Inca & nothing else and didn't want to go against the narrative espoused by the company he worked for...

[@steve-o6413]

If you were told what the History was in your Country of Origin and given a Guide of what you could say that's what you'd say or loose your job. I think he probably thought you had a agenda in mind and the other people on the Tour weren't paying for that agenda. Until World History changes don't be surprised when someone says that's my Story and I'm Sticking to it lol...

[@Mr.Grimsdale]

The tour guide was telling the truth, its only the gullible that want to believe its megalithic.

[@steve-o6413]

The Gullible are only the people who are ignorant of construction and what methods are used in construction...

[@theadventuresofbrockinthai4325]

THE BIG QUESTION I HAVE IS HOW DID THEY GET WATER. IT'S OBVIOUS THEY HAD TO HAVE LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER FOR THE GROWTH OF THE FOOD AND FOR DRINKING. I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT IT WOULD RAIN THAT MUCH ON THE VERY TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN. IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW.

[@Yarblocosifilitico]

good question. Maybe there was a spring there at the time? That plus accumulated water from rainfall should be enough I guess.

[@aldenunion]

Mountain Dew settles

[@poppabearskitchen1769]

In a previous video he say's that it rains quite a lot there.

[@aldenunion]

@@poppabearskitchen1769 In one video it showed how they fed those plots with directing spring in trough that spans the center downhill flowing between step plots.The water flowed under plot( from center) feeding beneath so many inches of soil ,so when roots grow so long,they dont even have to water.Automatic tending plots.(Think it was this spot his video showcased those once). The mountain spring they direct via irrigation trough.What a wonderful place.

[@poppabearskitchen1769]

@GotDramaAllergy , The Inca found such an amazing place and made it into a garden, crafty people. The foods they developed are STILL being eaten around the world. be well.

Maybe not terracing , but steps for giants????

so they can visit the little human ants from time to time? A terrace to gain space in such a vertical landscape seems to be what Occam's razor points at here.

Machupicchu, was build by Incas, Incas my ASS, I do hate the fact that people-humans do come to a thing that they overcome stuff or places and they call there own, " we did it, we build it, is ours", o yes, cool, I want the Incas to build one small wall just like that-nothing big-just a sample of the works- I will pay for it too, and guess what....they cant build it, funny.
