And it's in Peru and indicative of INCAN culture?

Those are some crazy eyes you have. One dude is clearly missing there. There is an opinion that there is too much static (lack of motion) in the actually displayed statue. This one is much better. I did not even notice it, which makes me wonder what else we are missing there in the art of Piranesi.

Hmm, there's only one baby there? Shouldn't there be both A Romulus and a Remus?

I think the existence of giants, at least, in the past is pretty well substantiated by multiple sources which could be trusted way more than the official science.

At this point, at least to me, multiple european type structures in Americas in 15th century sound way more exciting :geek:

A little more info never hurts. Was simply contemplating that giants exist in folklore, legends, 1800s newspaper articles, etc. But this non-american building in Americas are bizarre.

How did Amaru end up in the mountains in first place? Did they evolutionize up there and then came down, or what? Or were they some survivors of an event of a great magnitude?

We have specific architectural feats in that area, including the bottom of the Titicaca lake. The kind no savages lacking proper education could build.
Do we really know what the task of the Spaniards was? That is if there ever was such a thing...

The Amaru were there for roughly 8-10,000 years, since they admit that they are NOT the builders of Tiwanaku, but they claim that they knew the "old ones" who built that complex. In their language, one of the areas near the western entrance to Tiwanaku has a name that means "port" and it signifies that it was named when Tiwanaku was a port on the Lake Titicaca. But our scientists say that that must have been in the deep past due to the geography today. Another gate that they named translates to Camel gate, and camels died out in that area over 10k years ago. And no, this does not refer to the Llama, but the actual ancient camel, the bones of which have been uncovered as far west as Peru. The Amaru claim that originally they came from down below - not on the Peru side, but rather in the Amazon river basin area. The builders of Tiwanaku, in my humble opinion, are probably related to the builders of that lost city in the jungles of Brazil that I talked about in another comment - the one that the Portuguese explorers found and that Percy Fawcett called his lost city of "z".

Sorry, with the actual verifiable info that we have, I consider dates of this magnitude to be heresy at best. I am not saying there were no Earth inhabitants that long ago. There most likely were, but I'm yet to see any proof other than unsubstantiated claims.

On the other hand, no history buff out there wants to tackle European style structures in the newly discovered lands. It's much easier to blame artists in making stuff up. Yet, to build stuff like that, you need education and infrastructure. And in my research I consider these "education and infrastructure" to be exactly the things they are hiding. Why they do it, would be a totally different question.

Here are some pictures of Greco-Romano (grand unified) sculptures with native peoples,in America, Mexico and Peru, from the book "America: being an accurate description of the New World: containing ... the conquest of the vast empires of Mexico and Peru", by John Ogilby. (1670) that I was discussing with KD.

This sculpture looks so familiar to me!! Anyone have an idea where it exists today? Seems kind of Neptune, with the huge scallop shell.



This: IMG_7665.JPG looks like a huge left over Baal type oven that the Incans? were maybe using for human sacrifice? Check out the chaemeras with the big Greco Romano guy. Also look at the size difference between conquistador, Incans, and statue!

Well, I certainly admire your opinion, yet I will continue to offer the research that I have done, based on traditional discoveries, if you don't mind. I have to do this so that my published work will not be denigrated due to non-compliance with "accepted" archaeological data. There were "teachers". The locals of North and South America both admit that. And the teachers were uniformly depicted by the natives as being tall, with white robes, white skin, and willing to share their knowledge for a time, before disappearing. I suspect an unknown to us today group that lived in the area of the North Pole and South Pole. But that's just my hunch.

Not sure what “accepted” archaeological data was pertaining to. As far as research methods based on traditional methods of discovery go, that can mean a lot of things. If we are talking about working with the evidence, I am yet to see any such evidence pertaining to dates predating 14th-15th centuries AD.

Just like I was saying before, claims have to be backed up by evidence. When we get into 8k- 10k years ago ranges, I would love to see such evidence. I have not seen any yet.

I also doubt that we fully understand what such time gaps even mean, considering that we got off the horse whopping 150 years ago.

This is just a little vid of a travel blogger walking through ollyantambo which is just down the road from cusco and has pretty much the same architecture, one thing i notice is the bottom half of these buildings is much much different than the top half(European looking) anyways, good vid of the landscape and architecture!

It looks like some of the Spanish conquistadors might have remodeled some existing ruins, where the only thing remaining was the bottom portion. Because they did not have the skills to do it as the original (presumably) or because they wished to save time/money, they used cheaper materials and construction methods.
