Naukowcy odkryli prehistoryczną strukturę w dżungli, której ludzie nie mogli w żaden sposób zbudować.

When the Spanish invaded South America, they destroyed many Inca structures to use the materials for their own construction. However, one stone colossus proved too difficult for the conquistadors to overcome. They were unable to remove the monumental blocks from Saxa and Huaman. The impressive complex was quickly attributed extraordinary strength. From today's perspective, the situation seems clear. Saxion is considered a prime example of pre-Columbian architecture, reflecting the extraordinary skills of the Incas. However, many alternative scholars challenge the common interpretation. How, centuries ago, did people manage to fit stones up to 9 meters high and weighing 200 tons so perfectly together that not even a sheet of paper could fit between them? In light of these facts, is it possible that this site was built by another advanced civilization, one that possessed technologies we can't even imagine today? Moreover, could this have been a population that was literally not of this world? Anyone wishing to understand the history of this centuries-old site should consult contemporary sources. However, what Spanish chronicler Pedro Sánchez de la Roa wrote after first seeing the Sax in 1556 is surprising. He wrote the following, These walls are the most beautiful thing you can see among the buildings in this country, for they are built of stones so large that no one who sees them would say they were built by human hands, for they are as large as mountains or boulders. This interpretation, which requires reflection, was also made by his fellow countryman Pedro Pizarro. In this regard, a relative of the famous conquistador Francisco Pizarro stated, On the hill, the Incas had a very strong fortress, and at the bottom of the wall were stones so large and thick that it seemed impossible for human hands to have placed them there. They were so close together and so precisely fitted that not even the tip of a needle could be inserted between the joints. Where enormous mass meets millimeter precision stands the Inca fortress of Sacsayhuaman in Peru, whose ruins still dominate the Navajo highlands near the city of Cusco. The most important thing, however, is that the interpretation as an Inca fortress is not at all undisputed, but more on that later. First, we must ask what the creators themselves had to say about their stone giants, which inevitably leads us to the next question. About gods and lost civilizations. Contrary to initial assumptions, we cannot say with certainty today whether it was really the Incas who built Sacsayhuaman. Some sources state that the Kilt culture built these gigantic structures. The settlers in this region around 900 to 1200 AD are said to have completed the construction before the arrival of the Incas, and only later lost it to the newcomers. However, contradictory reports indicate that the builders of Sacsayhuaman were the Inca rulers Pachacutec Japanui and his son Tupac Japancui. According to these reports, the site was built only in the second half of the 10th century. Spanish conquistador and chronicler Pedro César de León stated that completing the complex took 70 years and required the work of 20,000 people. However, if we delve into ancient Andean legends, the question of whether Sacsayhuaman was created by several people or by the Incas must be answered unequivocally. Neither by one nor the other. Some records refer to Wura Kucha, the mythological creator god, who was the supreme deity of the Incas and worshipped by all pre-Columbian peoples of the central Andes. However, in it is in the nature of things that there are different ways of approaching the legend of the creator of the world. On the one hand, we could simply relegate the relevant traditions to the realm of fiction, on the other hand, there are also people who are deeply convinced that all ancient legends contain a grain of truth. Alternative scholars, such as Graham Hancock, however, do not see such figures as supernatural beings in the classical sense, but rather members of a lost civilization that flourished thousands of years ago and was destroyed by a global flood at the end of the last ice age. After the apocalypse, a few survivors spread throughout the world to pass on advanced knowledge to simpler peoples, paving the way for them to develop their own civilizations. There is no doubt that many ancient cultures knew the story of the flood, from which mystical heralds of civilization emerge. However, there is also no doubt that proponents of pre-astronautics actually recognize in mythological figures life forms that were literally not of this world. As one can imagine, these were supposedly, extraterrestrial beings regularly visited the inhabitants of the past and were worshipped by them as supernatural deities. In this case, too, the rise of our ancestors' civilization was only possible thanks to external help. The mysterious background of the construction. But are extraterrestrial intelligence and lost, technologically advanced cultures really the only possible explanations for the traditions and monumental structures of centuries past? Or perhaps, in our modern arrogance, we simply tend to greatly underestimate the skills of our ancestors. There is no doubt that the construction of Sacsayhuaman required a high level of knowledge, skill, and craftsmanship. It is also beyond doubt that the creators of this site were intimately familiar with their surroundings and had their own unique way of incorporating complexes into the landscape. Although the structure covers an impressive 3,000 hectares, the massive walls and buildings blend harmoniously into the natural landscape. In fact, the builders of the time did not remove any hills, but adapted everything to the existing conditions. The significance of the natural surroundings becomes clear when we look at Sacsayhuaman from above. The complex is shaped like a puma's head, and the streets of Old Cusco form the rest of this great cat's body. However, the meaning of the name is much more avian. In the ancient Quechua language, Sacsayhuaman simply means, Sated Falcon. And if a falcon is sated, whenever it flies over this place, the first thing it will notice are the cyclopean, terraced, zigzag walls, which are generally interpreted as defensive ramparts. To clarify, the word, cycloid, does not mean that the walls were built by one-eyed giants, but rather that they are composed of very large, irregular stones that were carefully stacked one on top of the other. However, how the builders of the time managed to transport enormous loads and transform them into precisely fitted structures without the use of cement remains an unsolved mystery. As mentioned at the beginning, the materials in question were not easy to transport. The largest stone in the wall is nine meters high, five meters wide, four meters thick, and weighs over 200 tons. The heaviest stones of the Cheops pyramids, on the other hand, weigh only 70 tons. Tons, but while the ancient Egyptians had to transport building materials from quarries sometimes hundreds of kilometers away from the Giza plateau, the builders of Even transporting stones on flat terrain would have been very difficult. In reality, however, the XXL blocks had to be transported over extremely uneven terrain, crisscrossed by hills and valleys. And when we remember that neither the Incas nor the Kilk knew the wheel or iron tools, the creation of this structure becomes even more impressive. Of course, assuming no crazy alien technology was used. Conservative historians assume that the blocks were first roughly quarried in the quarries and then transported to the chosen location using ropes, tree trunks, levers, and ramps. But the walls of Saqsalaman are not the only thing preserved for posterity. Three towers named Mujuk Marka, Paukar Marka, and Salok Marka also testify to the impressive architecture of ancient times. Equally well preserved is the massive stone seat, commonly referred to as the Inca throne. The site was also equipped with an advanced water supply system and a platform for astronomical observations. But what was the point of all this if Saqsa served solely as a defensive structure? This is precisely the question, as the original purpose of this site is not entirely clear. While some experts believe Saqsalaman was primarily used for training Inca warriors, others suspect it was a temple complex. This is indicated by the complex's unique structure, which was supposedly dedicated to the sun god Inti. Indeed, outside the walls of Saqsaywaman lies a large square where the Intirami Sun Festival is celebrated every year on June 24, always attended by the president of Peru himself.
