So in Egypt, you never want to underestimate what the dynastic Egyptians were capable of.
They had this long civilization of 3,000 years.
And they did some incredible work.
So, you know, they're really good stonework.
It gets the lines can get a little blurred.
I mean, you still see the difference.
But in Peru, it's different, particularly in the Sacred Valley.
places like Tiwanaku in Bolivia.
But there you have these very distinct lines, like in terms of technology and the stonework and the layering of the stonework in that place.
I mean, typically it's mostly all attributed to the Inca, but the Inca were really only around for like maybe 300 years maximum.
The Inca Empire was barely 100 years before the Spanish wiped them out in 1533.
And so it's relatively young, right?
So 1200 AD roughly to 1533.
And they attribute most everything to the Inca.
And you just look at it and go, this is not remotely possible.
There's a huge difference.
You see these three different layers of architecture.
There's a guy in Peru that has been researching this stuff for 50 plus years, him and his father, Jesus Gamara, who has his classification system for the Inca.
the architecture in Peru.
So you have, he calls them Hanan Pacha, Uran Pacha, Ikun Pacha, the three levels.
