Definitely not "built" mid 15th century (1400's) , that's when the Spaniards came and pillaged. They didn't just build it and leave at the same time . Built 100's of years before

NetGeo The transportation system in Peru is very challenging even for today to visit Machu Pichu, may it was due to the corrupt government. The tourism revenue is enough for to build a proper train system. I'm glad I get to visit Machu Pichu in September 2023, also visited lake Titicaca and the fascinating Rainbow Mountain. I'm glad Peru is doing their best to prevent over tourism in order to protect their famous sites.

Thanks to Albert Lin and National Geographic, I am now an archaeology student. This show has always been my favorite and keeps me motivated. I remember watching it during the COVID era, which was my last year in high school. Although my parents initially disagreed with my decision to study this field, they now support me. Archaeology has become a vital part of my life. It is not just about studying history; it is about understanding ourselves as the creators of culture.

[@chrismc8000]

Spent 2.5 weeks exploring through the Sacred Valley with 2 days at Machu Picchu a few years ago. It became easy to tell the difference of the megalithic stone structures, whose stones one cannot fit a razor between, from the Inca stone structures that were built near and on top of those. (It has been written, by the Spanish who conquered the Inca as to who built the megalithic stone structures, that the Inca denied building those structures.) it was pleasing to see that credibility is now starting to become adapted by the mainstream archaeologists, that the megalithic stone structures were not built by the Incas. Although being called “pre Inca” stone structures in this video, it is a hope that the civilization who truly built the megalithic stone works will someday be discovered and accepted by all. (Note: I realize that not all pre Inca stone structures were megalithic ones, and that there were many pre Inca civilizations there that used stones to build with.) Thank you. So enjoyed this video and seeing again many of the sites that I once saw.

They had advanced technology that was given to them by a previous race. They did not use stone tools they used technology that was given to them by the race Jesus mentioned in John Chapter 10 vs 34 thru 38

[@janicecole2722]

I wish Albert would have taken some samples of that skull they found among the stones of the wall they came across early on in this presentation. Although it's not his area if interest, it would be interesting to see what DNA would reveal about the origin of the Incas. There are some who believe they are Hebrew descendants of the slaves who built the Great Pyramids of Egypt. I would suppose those ancient Hebrews would have passed their knowledge of how they accomplished the amazing feat of building the Pyramids on down from generation to generation. If they happened to have migrated across the ocean to South America to become the Incas who built Machu Picchu, it would explain how they had the knowledge to get those megaliths so tight that not even a razor blade could fit between them.

Albert, I love Peru visited in 2016? I have not been on a vacation since.. due to covid and then a mishap with a crooked person, a thief who shut down my life. I was there for 3 reasons to heal to find beauty products and to learn about healthy eating. Everyone should travel to Peru such a sacred place.. 🙏 walk lightly. Watch the women they like to joke with you and dress you in their clothing.. 😂 I had no idea they had a train.. I walked with others up one of the biggest mountains full blown cold.. I didn't think i was going to make it the altitude and my nose filled with flem... it is as beautiful as this.. even when your there... it is stunning.. the people are so kind. 🙏 🤲 🕍 I was brought to a very sacred place with Saman big wrinkle. So beautiful you can see why they prayed to the mountains as their ancestors. Cold at night heat up your hotwater bottle.. The Healing House in Cucose is a wonderful place to stay ✨️ ❤️ a hostel can you see the dragon fly? Technology taking us to parts of the world unknown what a time to be alive. There is sand the color of a 🌈.. rainbow. The guides so kind the food healthy a jug of juice is $2 .. you can eat fresh chicken 🐔 cook on open fire. The flute 🪈 ♥️

[@rodpettet2819]

I did the Inca trail hike and the train back. I was in my late 60s, or early 70s and I loved it. Peru is a fantastic country.

Albert Lin and Team , thank you . I love watching your this Amazing documentary❤

[@pierrefireball2505]

I love this, which offered us much more knowledge about the Inca and before them building Machu Picchu. What I am mad about is that Civilisation mainly got wiped out because of many sicknesses these Spanishs brought when they discovered America. It is hard to explain; I feel bad because they made many centuries of Inca and Maya, with other Aboriginal populations' cultural knowledge, disappear. This makes me very upset; we can not go back centuries.

[@josenicacioo]

I love the National Geographic's soundtrack. They could let the name of the songs in the description!!!

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

Albert don't be offended, laugh at how stupid my brain is. When you said how amazing the construction of the place was as a feat of engineering, my interrupting thought was: "You mean 'foot' of engineering Al." This just as I was admiring how perseverant and amazing of a human you are for having the determination to do all you are, with a prosthetic! Keep it up you're an inspiration!

I am a field data collection scientist/ environmental analyst. I highly recommend that you gear up when surveying, including hand protection, leg protection, proper shoes, and eye protection. I have scratched my cornea bush-wacking (which is standard for my field). Swinging your arms to cut brush without gloves is super hazardous, especially with those cacti. You can't tech your way out of ground-truthing GIS data, at some point there has to be boots on the ground and you have to wear proper gear. Same is true when working around water- safety first.

Ancient Peruvians had no written language so it may remain a mystery forever. ( at one time, a proposal was considered to install Swiss alp style cable cars)

Ive always dreamt travelling to Machu Piccu, now ive got another place.. the view of the milky way!! Surreal!!

[@___beyondhorizon4664]

If you are referring to the pre Inca mount top, it's not for the general tourist to visit. They had special permissions for this episode. Peru infrastructure is still very challenging, i visited Machu Pichu in September 2023. There's no straight way to even visit the country 's main attraction, it involves taxi from my hostel to the local bus station, transfer to a local mini bus for an hour ride, then to the slow train. I waited for 2 hours to buy the Machu Pichu ticket for the next morning. I was very lucky to buy my ticket within issue. Most people either paid 3 x more from the travel agency or waiting for another day to buy the tickets. The Peruvian government was limiting the ticket sales to prevent over tourism and to protect the sites.

[@jeremymatthies726]

@NatGeo question, do we know where the Inca originally hailed from prior to them showing up in Peru? I might have missed it but definitely would be interesting to find out. Great job. I absolutely love this kind of ancient history.

[@arunlingam2531]

Awesome tech items and discovery 👍👌

[@AuntieShineDaily]

Very interesting journey especially towards the end when the lidar visual is revealed. In the Philippines, up in the north, the islands in Batanes especially Itbayat and Sabtang, have structures called Idjang. Idjang are stone structures that sit on top of hills that are believed to be burial grouds. It would be interesting to see a LIDAR mapping in those areas.

[@jeremiahw1369]

How could anyone in the 15th century even do the earthworks necessary for the foundations? The stonework at the bottom of the structures is incredible and nearly impossible to replicate even now.

[@luzalvari]

Plenty of cathedrals were built in the 1400s, there was engineering all over the world.

[@jeremiahw1369]

@luzalvari At altitude in Peru? I don't think so. In places where they had more resources and manpower, sure, but mountain top construction of that scale without machinery is inconceivable to me.

[@angelitabecerra]

They got a bunch of buddies together, organized, dug, and shifted stone. It's not that hard when people are determined to do a thing

Machu Pechu was constructed thousands of years before the Inca, and certainly not by using stone tools.

My opinion while my mind wonders watching the program is Machu Picchu was built high on the mountain top was to remain above the destruction of the volcano where people who settled around it lost their lives when the volcano erupted. While living above the destruction it preserved life and their agricultural essentials. Just a thought!
