A Thorough Exploration Of Ancient Ollantaytambo In The Sacred Valley Of Peru

For those who are interested in the topic of polygonal masonry. A number of methods for obtaining the polygonal masonry are proposed. The basis of the proposed methods is the use of clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph. The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru”.

Several methods of fabrication of the polygonal masonry using clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph are described in the article “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru” (DOI: 10.20944/preprints202108.0087.v7).

I need to visit this place before I die! It is absolutely amazing!!

I think if we could time travel then Ollantaytambo through the ages is a must!!! Im allowed to dream 😂

This place always amazes me. The Inca did incredible stone work. It just suffers from having to be compared to the megalithic work. This place was built to feed people. I think it would be grand if did so again.

They were powerful and advanced than we ever imagined and their vanish is still a mysterious riddle

Its too bad photography hadn't evolved earlier. Imagine what we could learn if early discoveries like this could have been photographed BEFORE so much tourist traffic, like about 500 hundred years ago. Still, amazing what can still be learned from simple observation. Thanks Brien, hope to join you on one of your trips soon!

Brien, I cannot thank you enough for providing all of us with the amazing video footage/content on your channel! I'll probably never have the opportunity to go visit these places so watching and listening to you narrate is the next best thing to being there

I wonder if the stones were cut from a larger stone, and then placed back together for the perfect fit. But then you'd still need to fit the outer stones somehow with other stones. It's a mystery and amazing construction

Thank you Brien :glasses-purple-yellow-diamond:

Those enormous pink granite stones were quarried from the opposite side of the mountain to make things even more mysterious! Thank you Brian ...wish I could go on one of your tours🤙🏽🤙🏽

I love videos like this. I try to imagine what it was like to have lived there; to have walked those paths and up n down those steps with that amazing water flowing. (starting @1:47)

Unbelievable thank you Brian

Mind blowing, absolutely phenomenal......

Fascinating well filmed presentation, It's like night and day differing time construction periods, Ancient megalithic builders were not inhibited by high altitude weight or gravity, and possibly for these very reasons they came under attack from Superior Creator, The Inca had to survive times of immense periods of rain fall and drought so they became experts at water control, As water is at same time life giving and life taking destructive. Enjoyed this presentation. Thank you for sharing peace

Excellent! Interesting video. Thank you for sharing!👍🙏

Some of the blocks look like they have scorching on them.

An especially thought provoking video today. Thank you so much. I really appreciated the wider views of the town and other surroundings too.

thank you so so much to show us such an incredible area !!! I 'm astonished watching the high advanced technology, the megalithics walls, the grandiose mountains... the true story of mankind is beginning to be revealed to the world thanks to people like you!

Great work as usual, I truly hope that 1 day the mystery will solve and find out what they looked like and how they managed to work the stone into what we see today...thank you
