And then it'll inspire people to book their trip down to the Sacred Valley. It's a money-making machine, right? It's their biggest draw to come and see this part of the world.

Yeah, yeah. They just want to hold it off to like the right part of the year. This is something I've heard in Peru. This is something I've heard in Egypt. Do you remember the tomb of Thutmose II that was just discovered recently? I heard about that. So let me think that that came out two or three months ago. And when I was there in October, I had heard that it was found.

So these things are happening way, way in advance. Now, the other side is there's sort of this Zahiwas effect, like Ed Barnhart, my professor and mentor, he wanted to study in Peru whether or not the Inca or ancient Peruvians are fusing these andesite stones together. So you've seen how the stones fit together in the same way that they do at the Valley Temple in Egypt, the red granite. Yeah.

So they're using this gray andesite, which is sometimes the andesite is harder than the granite in Egypt. And they're morphing these stones together at impossible angles. I'm sure you've seen the 12-sided stone, and maybe you've seen the scoop marks on the side of the stone where it looks like the outside of the stone was softened at one point, and you could scrape a piece off.

And so it's Dr. Barnhart's idea that somehow... Well, and it's not without evidence. So in the Chilean desert, the Inca are building upon โ the Inca Empire were building upon roads that went all across South America. And these roads weren't initially โ the foundations weren't laid by the Inca.

They may have been improved by the Inca, but they go back to the Wari Empire, which predates the Inca, and it almost certainly goes back further than this. The southernmost point of these highways, it goes off into the Chilean desert, into the Atacama Desert, and they just kind of disappear into the desert. And for a long time, it's been a mystery of roads.

What the heck are these Peruvians doing down in the Chilean desert? What is it down there? What's a resource that they need? But there are these acid deposits that are down in that desert, and somehow they invented this clay pottery that whatever they used to make it, the acid wouldn't melt through the pottery, so you could carry it.
