The two flinty syllables strike at the imagination like the sudden hard beat of an Andean drum. Cities of gold; sun worship; virgin sacrifice. The stuff of legend. Legends that for the most part remain hidden in the impenetrable no-man’s land of Peru’s high country.
For the better part of 400 years people have searched the deep canyons & towering ice peaks of these mist-covered cloud forests trying to locate the lost cities of the Inca. They were all after one thing; gold.
Any gold would do but there was one thing desired above all others, the Great Golden Disc of the Sun. The most sacred of all Inca relics. The Inca Holy Grail. It is in search of this Holy Grail that David Adams goes on his journey to Puncuyoc, sacred Sister City of Machu Picchu; the city sought but never found by Hiram Bingham.

I absolutely loved my time in Peru. This documentary pulled at my heart and I really want to go back. The people are amazing. Generous and warm. I learned so much about Pacha Mama and the Incan traditions. I feel like I left part of myself in Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu and Cusco. I loved Cusco.

Amazing. We will be searching out history til the end of time. I'm so glad we now appreciate how the past impacts us today. The locals, despite the heat, are wearing long ponchos and their arms are fully covered. Always see what the locals do for safety. Sometimes, DEET is not allowed, so you need to know before you go. I wouldn't go anywhere that it is not permitted. I take sugar in my tea, so insects love me. Skip ALL sugar for a few months before you travel and you'll be less appetizing to bugs. I've tested it.

Then a rather odd segment of white water rafting Then lots and lots of hiking. Fascinating country and landscape. The destination lost city occupies the last ten minutes.

You cannot believe everything that mommy professor says. The Inca did not build all the roads in the Andes, much of that road system existed before the Inca came to power. And they did not do the megalithic stone work: they found it and built lesser quality stonework on it.

A few years ago i watched the trinidad gold explorers... they hsed a drone with a thermal imaging camera and that helped them find 3 clay brick molds the europeans used to melt the gold into bars to ship back Each had a value of at least 250,000 dollars Thats what i would search for in the jungles... what was left behind that has a historical value There is no doubt there are lots of burried treasures down there.. the only issue is the JUNGLE , WEATHER , ANIMALS... But if you do explore... taking the drone with thermal inaging camera is a must!!!!!!!

You would find nothing. Inca's didn't care so much about gold, it was ornamental and religious. When Atawalpa was capture by the conquistadors he ordered all gold be brought in order to pay for his so called ransom. The Spanish killed him anyway but the point is that a command by the Inca was not a suggestion, it was sacred. The Inca was not only a monarch but a religious head as well. King and Pope all in one. There is no hidden gold... They didn't care that much about the metal.

@Michael Williams Okaaay. The way history is told and who tells it is a valid issue. The victors re-write history to their liking, and it's up to modern generations to sort out fact from propaganda. But be careful you don't spend so much time focusing on race and ethnicity in today's people (who is descended from whom) that you make the same mistakes those original conquerers did. If you're born in a country or you make it your home, don't you have the same right to tell its history no matter what your race or ancestry? It's wonderful for people to share the personal stories of their ethnicity and heritage, and that's even more important for aboriginal peoples, who have been so marginalised historically. But you don't need to share another person's cultural identity or ancestry in order to treat them with respect and help them piece together the historical truth that has been lost. Only picking up a weapon and actively contributing to the oppression of other people makes you a "conquerer."

william brady , the Inca empire didn't even last as long as 500 years, and the expanded Inca empire didn't even last 200 years. The Inca ruling class were organizers of unprecedented genius but their empire was built on the foundations of preceding cultures and it had to expand constantly in order to secure the labor forces who could produce the material goods which were necessary for keeping the empire together and well fed. But by the time the Spaniards showed up on the doorsteps, the empire had already become unwieldy and very difficult to hold together and to govern. After it's swift expansion it had become too big with too many diverging local groups. Not all of the local potentats were keen on being governed by the Incas. Resistance and unrest were on the rise. Atahualpa's father, who was the last emperor who had never met any European intruders, had reckognized these difficulties, and he had apparently contemplated to split up the empire between his heir apparent Huascar and his son by another mother, Atahualpa. But he died too quickly (probably of smallpox) and couldn't securely implement plans for a smooth succession. And since neither Huascar nor Atahualpa were inclined to share the power and the limelight of being a god king, a bloody civil war erupted, with Atahualpa eventually being victorious. A careful analysis of the situation shows that the Incan empire might not have existed much longer as a stable political unit ruled by one god king even if the Europeans hadn't entered the theater. But the cultural achievements and the knowledge which had developed over thousands of years - with the Inca empire being a fairly recent phenomenon - would probably not have disappeared. The Spaniards had a lot of luck on their side: they arrived at a time, when the Inca empire was already weakened by severe internal conflicts and there was a lot of unrest and resistance of local groups who initally believed it might serve their own interests to become allies of the Spaniards in order to get rid of the foreign Inca rulers. Also, European diseases had tragically sneaked in and had started to take a terrible toll on the indigenous populations before they even met personally these mysterious hairy men on their large strange animals. But all this might not have brought down the empire - at least not so quickly - if Atahualpa hadn't totally underestimated this handful of strangers. He had not halted but facilitated their progress into the heart of his newly won empire. It's hard to discern his exact motives for letting the Spaniards in. He may just have been very curious. Since his spies had observed the Spaniards while they progressed, he was aware of their strange new technologies, and he knew that they were neither gods nor immortal. He also knew that the horses were mortal, too. It's hard to discern, why he didn't just capture the Spaniards and their horses alive instead of letting them progress freely. He certainly was no gullible fool, but I guess, Atahualpa didn't feel especially threatened by this small group of newcomers. He was after all the commander of thousands of well trained soldiers, who would all willingly die in order to protect his divine person. But he totally underestimated the cunning and the tactical genius of Pizarro, who was not at all an educated man but absolutely ruthless and fiercely ambitious. He was also very intelligent and had analyzed correctly the power structure of the empire. He even had the good sense to protect Atahualpa personally when his men tried to kill the emperor. Pizarro realized that a living emperor was far more useful than a dead one - at least for a while. But Pizarro himself admitted later that Cajamarca was a gamble. If a few things hadn't worked out for him, the Spaniards could have all been captured or killed during the fateful night of the battle. Ultimately this might not have stalled the influx of the Spaniards and the ravages caused by diseases. But the Incas could've regrooped and organized a much better defense. They might've been able to resist for a long time, especially since the west coast of Southamerica and the Andean highlands were much harder to reach for Europeans than Mesoamerica and later Northamerica. It was a very protracted journey to get there since the realm was protected by natural barriers: in the North and the Northwest by rain dense forests, in the East by the high Andes and in the West by the Pacific Ocean. The Europeans had to traverse either the thin land bridge of what is Panama today in order to reach the Pacific or they needed to go around the Southern tip of South America with their ships - either through the Magellan Street or around Cape Horn in order to access the South American West Coast. The Incas might've been able to conserve pockets of their culture, just like the Maharadjas in India. It's a pity that this didn't happen since the Spaniards eradicated the Andean cultures with an absolutely ruthless swiftness, and only very few learned men felt compelled to explore, study and preserve these highly developed cultures. It's an incredible loss for humanity.
