But there may be another there may be another literary source that's more relevant to Cusco itself. Ryan, that that photo that you had up there where you were showing the joint of those blocks. I'm sure you noticed that, you know, so there's so there was an earthquake in in, I think, 1695. And then there's another earthquake in 1655.

And then there's another one in like 1995 or something close to that time. um that knocked down the colonial buildings but the but the the ancient buildings are still standing there but while they're doing that it's displacing the joints of the blocks so you can see that top block has slid back and on that bottom stone that outward lip is pointing up so it looks like It's been compressed.

Yeah, it's been compressed and that stone smushed down that softer, acidly dissolved stone that's on the surface and it smushes it down and it makes that perfect crease there. And I think, I honestly think that

for me that's the smoking gun of of that okay this it literally looks like this block has been sitting on top of the other one for thousands of years or however long and and at one point the top of it was soft and it compressed it you know just maybe by half an inch you know i mean that that's what and like i'm not saying that the acid you could dissolve and soften the stone to make it like a cinnamon roll i i just mean it softened it where it was compressed by half an inch you know

That for me though, that lip there is the most telling sign. And then I think that the exterior, the front of the stones, the way that they have been chipped off and the little scoops where it looks like the stone was softened and some of it was pulled away in the process of moving the stone or mounting the stones and putting them on there.

I just think that those two pieces to me just look like the exterior of the stone was softer at one point in time.

Yeah. You know, I think, I think, um, like we were talking last night is, is it's, it's funny. We're reaching in, we're kind of reaching this new stage where it's going to be interesting to see how, how so much of this plays out. Um,
