This new channel and its researcher may have solved the Peru "farming terraces" mystery since they never made that much sense.
When I went to Much Pichu with my wife, we were amazed at the amount of difficult to produce terraces just for farming. Very, very steep slopes.
Why? There is plenty of farmland below. Perhaps not all terraces were created equal. Try to imagine how much work was involved in building the hundreds of sites surrounding Cuzco in a 200-mile radius. It's almost unimaginable.
This video is a magnificent example, in my humble opinion, of a great theory that has much evidence of industrial-sized ancient gold mining factories, not terraces for farming blue potatoes. Many of the mountain "complexes" have super-advanced melted polygonal stone construction.
Well worth everyone's time.
