Update from Sacsayhuaman in Peru!
Investigating the Hidden History and Destruction of Sax Wan Megastructure
Discover why 19th-century excavators uncovered massive Inca walls that the Spanish tried, and failed, to completely destroy.
Short Summary
- The original walls at Sax Wan stood significantly taller (12–15 feet) before Spanish quarrying efforts removed the upper sections.
- Spanish builders extensively repurposed the quarried stones for constructing buildings in Cusco.
- Modern excavations, beginning in the 1930s and 1940s, revealed the true depth of the structure, making today's ground level arbitrary.

Truly appreciate your passion for our little understood ancient past Ben
There’s VERY few YouTubers who genuinely make me smile whenever I see their face anywhere, BEN YOURE THE ONE, much love! ❤
The destruction of these ancient sites by humans is absolutely unforgivable. I can only imagine what this site looked like in its prime. Thank you for sharing and for your work.
Doing Australia proud mate, we all believe there more to the past than gets acknowledged 👍👌🇦🇺
Hey Ben! Thanks for all of your amazing work through the years!❤
Having you film right next to that wall gives the best perspective on its size that I've ever seen. No amount of ancient aliens episodes can truly give the right scale of it, so incredible
Has any one generated an image of what the walls could look like at their full height?
You are the best. Keep doing this forever!!
Seeing Sacsayhuaman in person was incredibly life changing.
First of all, I love the flex. Secondly, I didn't even know the walls were originally higher and started even lower than what we can see. There is just no end to the mind blowing megalithic facts. No end at all, they keep coming. Thanks a lot. Cheers.
