Noraly is a cultural anthropologist as well as a geologist! I am constantly amazed at your depth of knowledge, and how it is informed by the intellectual curiosity you bring to the places you visit. You may be the best geography instructor on earth!

Noraly !!! I am from Ecuador and i have had road bikes. I had also watched your videos since the beginning and i am thinking now i need a dirt bike to know my country better. The Andes are magnificent . You are the best story teller our there !

[@MotoM0nk]

Fascinating history of Incas and Canaris. Really grateful for sharing with us ❤️🙏

[@alanfoster6589]

The Inca cut their stones flat on the back side and slightly slanting in the front. This way, in the event of an earthquake, the stones would slightly slide in against one another, reinforcing a wall. That is one reason why the Spanish used stones taken from Inca buildings for the foundations of their colonial buildings in Cuzco, for example. And why those buildings are still standing when more modern ones have collapsed. The finer the stonework, the more important the Inca building.

[@alexgrigoreas4825]

Absolutely amazing. So essentially a "wedge". So cool.

[@luckymale00]

Merry Christmas Noraly. love you

[@stonehands0249]

Awesome, amazing ingenuity and long term planning.

[@raidermanuk]

How would they have cut those stones and how would they have leveled them when building the wall?

[@alanfoster6589]

@@raidermanuk Amazingly, the stones were all cut by hand, chip by chip. In the best Inca construction, the stones fit so tightly together that you cannot slip a knife blade between them. As for more, the internet is your friend ;).

I’m amazed by old buildings and how well made they are. My next door neighbour lives in an old log house and they had it carbon dated. The oldest part of the house was dated to year 1560. They sure knew how to build back in the days. Happy holidays from the northern part of Sweden.

[@petekeller1424]

What I'd like to know is HOW the Incas cut the volcanic rock so precisely? What were the tools that were used? Great story.

[@robbrike4619]

Remarkable what a developed culture the indiginous people of South-Amarica had. For them, the sun was their God and given the fact that gold has the colour of the sun, gold incorporated in a certain manner the spirit of God. The Spanish conquerors saw only the material value of the gold and for that reason they robbed the gold of the Inca's. I can understand that for the Inca's this meant war, because the conquistadores attacked their God. A tragic history indeed. Thank you, Noraly, for this very interesting and even fascinating visit!

[@charlesharris2749]

Vrolijk Kerstfeest, Noraly! (I hope that means Merry Christmas!) Also hope you have great holiday wherever you are this weekend.

[@randysmith6493]

That was great. I had traveled a month with the then 1975 president of Latin American Archeology Foundation and we saw many cultural sites. There is a movement by some to say the good stone work that was done was pre-Inca culture . But here we have a culture that knows itself prior to Inca, and they have their own stone works. Clearly they know that Inca did carve stones with this level of quality fittings, the most precise works of stone fitting of world cultures. So many mind boggling builds they did, including stone works with stones of 18 tons, and then cart them up and down mountains. Just amazing. Thanks Noraly

Hola Noraly! Estoy muy sorprendido con ese Templo del Sol en Incapirca porque no conocía su existencia!! Hermosa la manera en que lo retrataste, la visión previa del lugar, tu contacto con la gente del lugar, y la explicación amable del guía, sobre todo la manera en que capturaban al sol en sus dependencias. Mucha riqueza que fue saqueada por los españoles, a pueblos que habitaban el lugar 3000 años AC Aquí en Argentina también tenemos una amplia zona donde se conoce y se habla el quechua, idioma que abarcó una gran extensión de nuestra América del Sur. Por eso también le llamamos nuestra Patria Grande!!! Abrazo y te sigo acompañado!

All that have to do with INCAS is facinating. The other day I was watching a documentary of them, and there is no a real conclusion of their origing. O how they have so knolodge about stars, contruction etc. Is one fo the greatest mysteries of the world. How to move 900 kg sotone with such precision that supports earthquaques. Ecuador is full of earthquakes many times of the year, not so strong, but those structures stay there. I would love to see those temples with gold on them, must be incredible.

Wow! I went to this place in the late 1970s and it was no place you could walk to! There was no town nearby and I wondered if it was really the same place from looking only at the Canari ruins because they were not even cared for back then. As soon as I saw the Inca ruins I knew that it was the same place and I was so glad that no one had tried to rebuild the site. There is a geological site you need to see North on what is now a back road between Quito and Otovalo on the road to Tabacundo. There is (or was) a place where you can see what I assume are sedimentary layers of rock FOLDED neatly over each other at least 7 layers thick in the roadside! I would love to hear your commentary on how this came to be. I have several theories of my own but woulf love to hear what a real geologist thinks! Enjoy my Ecuador!
