Searching For The Incas & Their Cities Of Gold Ancient Peru Documentary Timeline

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The two flinty syllables strike at the imagination like the sudden hard beat of an Andean drum. Cities of gold; sun worship; virgin sacrifice. The stuff of legend. Legends that for the most part remain hidden in the impenetrable no-mans land of Perus high country. For the better part of 400 years people have searched the deep canyons & towering ice peaks of these mist-covered cloud forests trying to locate the lost cities of the Inca. They were all after one thing; gold. Any gold would do but there was one thing desired above all others, the Great Golden Disc of the Sun. The most sacred of all Inca relics. The Inca Holy Grail. It is in search of this Holy Grail that David Adams goes on his journey to Puncuyoc, sacred Sister City of Machu Picchu; the city sought but never found by Hiram Bingham

I wonder what would happen to the artifacts that they found or that they still looking for are they going to return it to the place where it came from or are they going to keep it for them self and put it in the museum's, it's always been a mystery to me i hope they give it back to the origins of where it came from. Same thing with all those treasures that people found long time ago, that doesn't belong to us and we should give it back

when i visited Peru in the 90s - my guide carefully and consistently distinguished between the Quechua people (a tribe) - and their royalty - the Inca - in other words - the people are Quechua - the Inca were the upper class of Quechua people - consequently - i find it jarring whenever i watch these documentaries they talk about the tribe of indians using the word Inca where they should be using Quechua

The shaman guide proved that they still are Incas. When asked about Inca's eating guinea pigs, shaman says Yeah when 'WE' have guests, you know?
It means the shaman is Inca host and he is offering cooked guinea pig to the guest. Probably, the sun disk is being kept and guarded by these modern day Inca people themselves. Yeah, it's theirs to keep. Let them keep it.

much respect to your commitment to your profession mr adams. to make your videos as authentic and informative as possible. and makes your videos par excellence in its category in the world. i do suggest that you wear at least a life jacket when you go whiewater kayaking again. that was more bravery than exercise when you did it. kudos to you sir!

If i was looking for sun disc, i would talk to people living around lake Titicaca. There is a megalith sandstone near lake that has door carved into it believed to be a portal that opens when the correct sound/frequency is produced. One belief is the king or a priest fled through the portal with the Sun disc.

Whats with hiring the dude with the old truck. I visit Cusco every year and I have to beat the taxi drivers off of me. You cant swing a dead cat without hitting a taxi driver. Totally staged. And whats with the hat? I guess hes trying to rock the Indiana Jones look.

Don't get me wrong but whenever I hear 500/400 years ago, I think it's not that old. I'm used to hearing 2000/1000 years old here in Italy. Still, this docu is impressive. the loot and destruction the Spanish brought in the Americas and beyond. just angers me somehow.
reply

Ive watched quite a few of these already, and I love how simple and peaceful all these people live, I hate how crazy the part of the world I live in, I wish everything was a lot more like they live, or I could of moved years and years ago!

It's a bit phoney that the porters would wear brand new robes of regalia while hiking and working, but it makes a wonderfully colorful film. And it is a great one. Even the comments on it are inspiring! What a pleasure to watch and read!
reply

Europe and all it's thieves should return all the gold it stole from these lands! If not the gold then money. There are many poor people in these lands due to what the lands were robbed of, repay the children of the people you robbed

I am happy the old Incas somehow managed to have keept thei'r golden sundisc they have given the spanisch anyway way to much gold. Can you imagine they came back to try and take away the golden sundisc how greedy can one be?
reply

I know where their GOLD is it's in 3 places.
Deep in a special cave in the jungle
Underneath one of the biggest temples of sacrifice.
Of the 3 Pyramids.
Under a Vikings funeral(Riddle.

I just cant believe that the Spanish would have left the disk and then come back for it. Makes absolutely no sense. Obviously the truck getting stuck was staged. What else is?
reply

if you ever comes to peru, not only macchu picchu, go around, bring a metal detector, you may close to discover something, gold, silver, etc.
beleive me.

This guy's a hoss! White water kayaking one day and moutain climbing to the altitude of The Roof of the Andes the next! Smart AND strong! What a man!
reply

They go all that way to find a place that was already found and recorded and in the final looked no more than the remains of a small building!
reply

150 soles is a swindle. Be careful sometimes, people want to take advantage of charging more for being a foreigner and not knowing the real prices.
reply

Documentaries like this should have millions of views. Sadly, it was uploaded during a time when the Internet isn't as accessible as it is today.
reply

Thanks for these films. I love the scenery, history and culture. Places I may never get to see in person but can appreciate via these fine videos.
reply

I love gold. I invest in gold mining companies to pull this beautiful metal out of the earth like our ancient South American predecessors.
