THE INCA BUILT SACSAYHUAMAN Chapter LI “Of how Inca Yupanqui (Pachacutec) founded the Royal house of the Sun on a hill on top of Cuzco, to the northern part, and which the Spaniards commonly know as Fortress and of its admirable building and huge stones which can be seen there.” Cieza de Leon (Official Chronicler of the Spanish Crown)- El Señorio de los Incas Garcilazo de la Vega even gives the names of the architects: Huallpa Rimachi Inca, Inca Maricanchi, Acahuana and Calla Chunchuy. "the buildings...the INCAS turned into fortresses, temples, into roads...were many and required excessive work as evidenced today by the ruins and remains left in Cuzco," Father Jose Acosta XVI century chronicle- Jesuist priest who crossed the Andes learning about Peru. He learned quechua and founded colleges. Recently archaeologists have found a Killke culture ceramica and a temple of "rustic" architecture from the 12 century and even an Inca statues, metal objects, funerary niches, remains of andean camelids, andean textiles and even an irrigations system underneath Sacsayhuaman. This system supplied the city of Cusco with water and there is even an Inca road used to give maintenance to the system and a systems of terracing underneath it. The aquaduct is even mentioned in the chronicles of Juan Polo de Ondegardo y Zarate who wrote about it in 1571. By the 12 century at the time the Killke and before the Inca in the Cusco valley Sacsayhuman was only underground "rustic" architecture as well as canals and funerary niches, no sign of even the 20% of what remains today. The Wari empire ruled the Cusco region for 600 to 1100 AD and there is absolutely no evidence of them in Sacsayhuman. The primitive Chankas raided Cusco and made the Inca ran for their lives before the arrival of Pachacutec. How was this possible if such a megalithic temple as Sacsayhuaman had been occupied by the Inca? It would have been impenetrable and the Inca would not have ran for their lives to the Altiplano.

Is somebody here after reading fingerprints of the gods?

[@jdmran]

these megaliths are not Incan.the incas found these ruins and tried to finish what cataclysm caused this lost civilization to fall.

[@etchalaco9971]

Megaliths all over Cusco underneath Inca terraces and Ramps all over

[@Richard-se1vu]

No sabes nada de nuestra gran civilización

[@ThereductionistBoy]

Do you really believe how it's made? C'mon mate...use your brain...

[@anuragdahal4818]

Have you read fingerprint of the gods?

[@ThereductionistBoy]

@@anuragdahal4818 There's a problem with this attitude which earthlings think earthly monuments are made by earthly beings or even in their time whether your attitude or even a first grade archeologist. Not all the monuments are made by earthlings...

[@IITaDHGdALToNII]

@@ThereductionistBoy literally give us ANY proof of this; you dont understand or cant imagine humans doing this therefore ALIENS this video shows people in indonesia moving a huge stone with EASE, UP HILL and seemingly having great fun doing so. Despite what the narrator says, it looks like they are moving a roughly 10 tonne block at about 1 metre every 2-3 seconds. please watch and tell me what u think /watch?v=H-J_6Jct_X8&list=FLptEB2pimd6sIAUDxEsRq1Q&index=1&t=55s

[@adriancarter825]

Oh here we go , they rolled the stones there on stone rollers , have they ever found a stone roller , suppose you think the Inca built them as well,Nooooo, lot older and lost technology.

[@ThereductionistBoy]

You know, such dumb illiterate people are a disgrace to humanity which misguide and mislead the other people like themselves so confidently. Rolled the stones? o'ya? How? And how did they cut them that neat and unearthly in that ancient times? And why the earth is filled with such monuments which defies logic? And also why most of these unearthly monuments are located on such special locations and belt on earth in mesoamerica and mesopotamia? Someone must tell such persons that no one is expecting you to go explain on these ancient sites with your imperfect knowledge man. Daaayumn, the nerve of these gargoyles...

[@etchalaco9971]

Adrian Carter your explanation only pushes back the mystery.

[@IITaDHGdALToNII]

@@ThereductionistBoy there are several videos showing how easy it is to cut stone rollers using casted copper, sand and water as an abrasive not that i believe these were moved with stone rollers, much more likely to be wooden rollers. they still move large stones with wooden rollers in indonesia using hundreds of people and ropes; you can move 10 tonne stones UP HILL with minimal effort with the right amount of people if you put it on a sled and wooden rollers
