I would like to show you a place that perhaps a handful of visitors to Peru have seen. It is located about a day’s drive from Cusco, capital of the Inca, in a remote part of the province of Apurimac. It once again goes to show that Machu Pic’chu, though an incredibly beautiful site, is just once of many intriguing ancient places that Peru has to offer.
This amazing site is called “the stone prison” and is located in the small town of Haquira (or Ccacca) deep in the highlands of Peru. It was supposedly a prison used by the early Spanish usurpers when they invaded the area in search of the rich gold and silver deposits, which most likely had previously been used by the Inca.
The local Natives were supposedly forced to create this during colonial times, and one can propose that the relatively simple stone walls were of their making. But the doors and chambers carved into the volcanic bedrock? Highly unlikely. What we are probably looking at is yet another example of a much older site, which was in essence recycled by the Spanish colonizers.
The supposition of its great antiquity, and the idea that it was created by a mysterious culture which had Lost Ancient High Technology is not a unique idea. Other sites such as Machu Pic’chu, Ollantaytambo, Sachsayhuaman and Puma Punku also show the presence of stone shaping which cultures such as the Inca could not have done, and would be very difficult to do today.
My book which covers most of the known enigmatic sites of Peru and Bolivia, listed below, will explain in a provoking and scientific manner that at least one advanced civilization preceded the famous Inca, by as much as 10,000 years, and perhaps more. All that remains of their presence are the megalithic works they created, their earthly existence extinguished by a global cataclysm.
