The Qorikancha was the center of the world according to the Inca religion, and it divided the Inca Empire into four administrative regions and 365 religious regions. Before the Spanish conquest it was filled with gold and held the sacred golden disc of the sun god Inti. It was converted into a monastery by the Spanish but has been partially restored.
I like very much your video,
I like your journey.
Thank yoou Sir.
❤ From Indonesia...❤
Thx; verre tocht gemaakt.
Awesome to see new video! Thanks!
We have lost so much to Christian colonialism. 😢 lovely vid. Thank you. Busy watching now.
Its the worst to Think about what happend after 1492 to all the people and their religious believes and all their written work
Some people suck
Hopefully we get to see more!! Great video
I have many more videos from Peru but they aren't as nice and smooth and easy to edit as the more recent ones. But I will release them anyway.
Amazing how "Primitive man" had better stone cutting techniques than modern man...
The Incan had designed to perfection, their drainage systems. Still many working today.
Any chance for a Valdivia show ? Lacona pottery of around 1700 BC is very interesting.
Hmmm, I don't know a lot about it, but Chile is definitely on my list of places to visit one day.
My curiosity, that stone can be cut like that? What the machine can do that??
Great video as always. Did you happen to stumble upon an image of any Incan diety?
No! The Spanish made sure that is impossible. But stay tuned, my next video will be about Peru as well.
hope those dogs are ok
Always great videos my friend. Did you learn an Quechua while up in the villages? Ive spent a lot of time doing environmental research stationed in Puerto Williams Chile and every break i get i travel to a different ruin. The cloud people in the north of Peru are my newest fascination. Great work!
*i ask about Quechua because that is the word for rulers, not the actual people we now call Inca.
I did study a bit but it was a while ago and I've been focusing on Mayan now. I do hope to learn some more in the future though, and one day to return.
Wow! What a cool place. It looks like there are quite a few interesting ruins in Chile too, and it's definitely on my bucket list. Anything you recommend?
@@pyramidreview8664 I've mainly explored old Yaghan sites here in the south (Tierra Del Fuego/Patagonia) and they didn't build grand structures. More like the old native American camps I hunted for arrowheads back in Texas growing up. Even though it seems you focus on the larger structures definitely get into the north of Peru. The cloud people pre date the "Inca" by quite a few decades if not more. I get the sense you are a student of this topic, and if you are interested in other parts of the world I can tell you some incredible sites in Nepal where I spent 4 years doing research before coming back to Chile. I was fortunate to be invited to 3 programs (Mexico, Chile, Nepal) and took full advantage of them. It's a big beautiful world out there that we still know very little about!
@@pyramidreview8664 I can't say much for Chile as most of my exploration here has been in Tierra Del fuego/Patagonia looking at primitive Yaghan sites (like the old Indian camps I grew up hunting arrowheads at back in Texas). They fascinate me because that's how land of fire got its name. The Yaghan would light fires along the Beagle channel alerting other tribes when the explorers were traveling through so they called it Tierra Del Fuego. However, the north of Peru is full of pre Inca sites that are amazing. Next up for me is Uruguay.
@@BearJwG Very interesting. I know that some of the oldest sites on the continent are along the southern coast of Chile. Peru has so much to see, I have a map with hundreds of sites all over the country. Are there some ancient sites in Uruguay too? I don't know a lot about that corner of the map.
@@pyramidreview8664 honestly I'm not sure at this point. I've been looking at Monte Video as a place to settle for a few years. The ex president was the "poorest" president of any nation when he gained power coming out if prison, and it seems like a place that takes good care of its people. With more research I will let you know. If you don't mind, what is your background?
Was this filmed some time back?
@@pyramidreview8664 sadly I didn't do my research before going to Cusco and missed this site and many others. I need to make another trip.
My last peru trip I went to kuelap and gocta instead. The double masking requirements drove me insane.
I would love to see Chavín de Huántar and many other sites but my health issues make me worry about any more solo travel
Yeah. I've got quite a few older videos to release. I'm not always happy about how I filmed them and would have done it differently today, but that's living and learning. I will still release them anyway
@@pyramidreview8664 only way to improve is to do. Look forward to seeing them
