Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

Just a little bit.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

Okay, fine.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

So here's the thing to me which I don't get about Machu Picchu.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

And I think part of the reason why I don't get it is because the elevation doesn't do much for me.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

When I saw the pyramids and when I saw Chichen Itza and Teotihuacan, I'm just looking at these things.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

I'm seeing heavy blocks stacked on top of each other.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

I'm looking straight up in the sky and I go, these things get really tall.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

It's the same thing when I look at a skyscraper, right?

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

I grew up in New York with skyscrapers.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

I went to Chicago and I was like, oh shit, you guys got tall buildings too.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

This is impressive to look at.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

These structures don't seem that tall.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

Yeah, yeah.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

So, like, to me, it's not this, like, awe-inspiring moment that I had when I was in Egypt.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

So you've been to Machu Picchu?

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

No, I haven't been to Machu Picchu.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

And the reason, I think, part of the reason why I'm not compelled to go, I'm like, okay, like, they got some, a couple stories or something like that.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

But the pyramid was the most miraculous thing I've ever seen in my entire life, outside of the birth of my children.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

That is the, outside of the birth of my first child.

Flagrant
Luke Caverns on Lost Civilizations of the Amazon + Why They Burned Alexandria

Wait, after you saw it once, you know, it's not... It's like a rerun.
