But anyway, so I'm at Sacsayhuaman, and they take me into this back room, and they show me all these bodies that they pulled out of the tunnels. And it was these โ they thought that they were like sacred guardians of โ whatever is inside of this tunnel. And these are all buried at Sacs de Beaumont. So there's like skulls everywhere. There's boxes and all these bones.

There was like an obsidian mirror with like a little stick on it, a bunch of gold artifacts in this room. It was just boxes upon boxes upon boxes upon boxes. And I haven't seen any of this stuff published yet. So this is how much of a delay there is on archaeology. What is the delay in that stuff?

Yeah, it's what I think it is, is, well, you kind of have I would I would say it's a mix of a lot of different things. Let's say let's say the most non malicious side is that these countries are totally dependent upon tourism and they want to prepare like a media, you know, like a big media buzz to drive tourism. So they want to do it at the right time of the year.

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.
