I visited Macchu Picu. Amazing site knowing it was built without iton or horse in a remote place in the mountains. The stones were carved with precision with no gaps or mortar. Incredible feat by the Inca.

Excellent documentary! Watched from beginning to end. Machu Picchu is truly a fabulous place with extraordinary views and architecture!
-
Absolutely captivating! The uncovering of the lost medieval citadel of the Incan Empire is truly mesmerizing. Every detail in this video kept me on the edge of my seat. Can't wait to explore more mysteries with Myth Hunters. Keep up the fantastic work

I can't help but think of the Monty Python skit with the sentence "sitting there on your loathsome spotted behinds" when I read derogatory comments by those who have, quite likely, never achieved anything of consequence in their lives. It's rich that they even express an opinion about an explorer such as Bingham. He was wealthy and educated so he could have lived a life of comfort instead of venturing out as he did !

I visited Macchu Picu. Amazing place. Keep in mind it was built without iron or horses in a remote mountain area. Incredible feat by the Inca. I was in awe.

He had the money to uncovered it. He didn't discovered nothing new for the people there. Only to show for the rest of the world. Somebody had to do it one day
-
He didn't find or discover anything!! He was lead to it by people that already knew about it and the location!

It seems quite obvious that Machu Picchu is not Vilcabamba. The chronicle is clear that the Incas took refuge to jungle plains, and its completely logical. They already saw Mountains arent protected enough as Spaniards took all their cities and forts there. They went to more inaccessible place, and eventhough its not their normal habitat, they had no choice. Also, the lack of ruins the kind of Machu Picchu there is normal, there isnt enough stone in muddy plain as there is in mountain, the Incas were remnants and refugees, not the grat empire any more, so its obvious that most of what they would have built there would be made of wood and perish.

When you walk the so called Inca trail, your first view of it is amazing, it was for me 24 years ago.

I have travelled there twice. It is mangificent.

I wonder why people watch these documentaries and then comment in such a rude derogatory mannerā¦ if you donāt like it, just click away but donāt be so rude to the people who made this documentary! Theyāve put many hours into this. If you can do better, please share š š Oh and @iamllux why do you think British narrators and documentary makers are considered THE BEST in the world? Because they are. I really wonder the foundation of your ridiculous comment, like I said āif you donāt like what you see, click away!ā

AgustĆn LizĆ”rraga Ruiz (Spanish: [aÉ£usĖtin liĖĪøaraÉ£a] June 12, 1865, in Mollepata ā February 11, 1912, in Urubamba River) was a Peruvian explorer and farmer who discovered Machu Picchu on July 14, 1902, nine years prior to American explorer Hiram Bingham.

Amazing !!!!!!!
-
Very informative
-
Wow I loved this
-
That was good
-
Howard Carter found the tomb of Tutankhamen. Bingham was a tourist who was shown things known by locals. He didn't find anything.
-
When will indigenous peoples everywhere cease to be referred to as āindiansā???
-
"He was just a local Peruvian peasant."
-
Oh so a peasant farmer found it and you claimed the credit.
