Viggen Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 It was just a sparkle on the horizon, where the sun hit what appeared to be a flat plain on an otherwise steep, untamed mountain in the Peruvian Andes. But Peter Frost, a British-born explorer and mountain guide, surmised that the perch would have made a perfect ceremonial platform for Incan rulers. So Frost and the adventure hikers he was leading slogged through heavy jungle growth and at 13,000 feet uncovered remnants of the Incan civilization that flourished there. They found looted tombs, a circular building foundation and the stonework of an aqueduct. full article at Sun Sentinel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kama Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 I remember seeing a progrm about these giants carved stone balls from them. Aparently the scientists thought they we're used to map out the stars accoring to their importance and they also thought it mapped out the area where atlantis should be.
