Is there a counter-theory?
- jstanley 10mo agoThe theory is that there was an older and more advanced civilisation that built them using more advanced techniques which are now lost. And the Inca inherited pre-existing structures. The Inca did do stonework of their own, but not close to the standard exhibited in this article.
- bdhcuidbebe 10mo agoThats not a theory. Its the plot of a netflix entertainment show by famous sharlatan journalist (not a scientist, not an archeolog) Graham Hancock.
- reactordev 10mo agoIt’s History Channel doing anything but teaching History. Sad. Only misinformation and conspiracy documentaries are all people want to make but when a real documentary comes along, it blows them all away (shoutout to Ken Burns).
- Hoasi 10mo agoAnything goes, these days…
- skulk 10mo agoThis doesn't pass the sniff test. How could a civilization supposedly far more advanced than the Inca vanish without leaving the Inca a single shred of evidence of their existence? No tools, no records, no memory at all? Oh, except the giant intricate stone structures they built. A coordinated conspiracy to claim their superior civilizational achievements as their own might be the only explanation of that and that's veering into comedy.
- bregma 10mo agoWell, there's obviously the alien contact theory. If you've ever been to Nazca where the landing strips are only a few hundred miles from the Inca empire you'd be a believer. If you want to believe, that is.
