Have been to Machu Picchu but not here. Agree there have been two previous but different civilizations in Peru. The first, a long, long time ago built with megaliths that are found on other continents. All sites where the first culture existed shows an abrupt end marked by unfinished projects at each site suggesting a global catastrophe that obliterated everything associated except the megaliths. The second society had an enormous building program, trails, terraces, buildings that is absolutely massive in terms of area and locations in Peru and it is hard to account for the mega-millions of stones used for these projects. We know it was the Incas at the end but construction likely occurred over a thousand years or more and we do not know whether it was an identifiable culture that slowly filled in after extinction of the megaliths builders. This type of stone construction is labor intensive and moving the stone takes time hauling (how) up mountain sides. A hard look at these multiple sites really suggests this building program was over a very long period of time.

acabo de llegar de choquequirao y viendo tu hermoso video recorro cada uno de los lugares. cada paso desde capulliyoc hasta choquequirao tuvo su recompensa a la llegada emociona sentir el magnetismo y la hermosura del lugar. Me senti honrado de tener sangre de tan nobles antepasados. Gracias por dejarnos lugares tan maravillos cuyo misterio se fue con ustedes.

Tibetan culture is mostly influenced by Chinese and Indo valley civilization and they were a pastoral society, not agricultural geniuses like the Inca who used terraces, micro climate experimentation, storehouses to feed an empire and built cities on top of earthquake zones. The Inca were an imperial state, nothing like that in Tibet.

i am amazed that any civilization would choose to build anything in such a precarious spot. I bet that if you go down to the valley, you would find remains of people who had fallen from those dizzy heights, and the jungle just grew over them. What do you think the reason is that they should build in such a difficult place?

Why so high? What was down in the valleys that they chose to live in the clouds? Such beautiful stone work still very much in tact is impressive. The air must be pretty thin, maybe the giants couldn't breathe up that high so safe from them but what of the giant birds?

Back packed in with my son when he turned 16 We were the only people there other than our guide and porters. Amazingly beautiful, and so much better than the cattle call at Machu Piccu. Thanks for your video, it brought back very pleasant memories of years gone by.

2: 15 + Please tell me that the writing on the stones is from archaeologists or conservators of the sight and hopefully not graffiti from some jerk of a tourist.

If anything rivals Machu Picchu, it's Choquequirao. or maybe Kuelap. or the Nasca Lines. Sacsayhuaman? Ollantaytambo? Caral, Moray, Chan Chan. Pretty much all of Peru
