Description
Join me as we take a deep dive into an incredible ancient logistic achievement - quarrying and moving the huge granite blocks of Ollantaytambo around 10 kilometers across the Andes Mountains in the Sacred Valley of Peru!
Known as the 'Tired Stones,' these massive blocks can be found in the high, steep slopes of the quarry, and all along the route to the amazing megalithic 'sun temple' of Ollantaytambo. Seemingly abandoned along the route, how these were moved in this unrelenting, high altitude, steep terrain, and why they're there, is a huge mystery.
Over the last year I've been investigating these stones, and trying to decipher the story they're telling us about the catastrophic history of human civilization….
