Exploring Peru's Sacred Valley | Part 1: The Pisac Ruins

[@RostislavLapshin]

0:45 For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, reduced clay models of stone blocks and a 3D-pantograph, as well as a topography translator. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru” (DOI: 10.20944/preprints202108.0087.v5). I do not provide a direct link, because KZbin does not allow a comment with this link. Search by the article title.

Very well done...will definitely check out some more of your videos!

Thanks for sharing this video. Obviously very beautiful Inca construction. But also there was so Pre-Inca Megalithic construction that was executed by a higher sophisticated culture predating Inca. Thanks for sharing this video.

Pisac is the scariest one to climb, the stairs are narrow and literally right on a edge of a cliff. If you past the pisac test then the rest of the ruins are cake walk

COI like Oyyyy like the coy fish. not kooee haha. Overall a bloody good video. Another thing to remember is most people in the mountains speak quechuan not spanish or little spanish. But with Pisac beware, if you go late or close to closing they will take your money or ticket and stamp it but close and not let you thru the ruins up top. too bad so sad but thats peru.
