Episode Synopsis

The Sacsayhuamán stones sit above Cusco like a quiet dare—massive, irregular blocks weighing tens to over a hundred tons, locked together with unnerving precision and no mortar. Their tight seams, strange angles, and earthquake-proof design make the whole site feel less like a ruin and more like a message from a civilization that knew exactly what it was doing. Even now, no one can fully explain how the Incas shaped and moved stones this huge. Sacsayhuamán remains one of the most enigmatic constructions on the planet—an ancient feat that refuses to give up its secrets.-----------------Head to the Strange Places home website, asylum817.com to keep up with all things Strange Places, as well as the host.
