Mysterious Engineering of Machu Picchu: A Personal Account

Having traveled around the world and been to about a dozen UNESCO world heritage sites including Skara Brae, Skellig Michael and Chaco Canyon, Machu Picchu has always been at the very top of my list, both as a proponent of the Ancient Astronaut theory and on a personal level. I recently had the opportunity to travel to Peru for nine days, three of which were immersed fully in the Machu Picchu site and surrounding archeological areas--most importantly Huayna Picchu which is the mountain peak that looms in the background of every famous photo of the Machu Picchu ruins (I'll get to that later). Everyone knows of the city in the clouds or the "Lost City of the Incas" as some historians have dubbed it, but you cannot fully appreciate the magnitude of the engineering that went into the construction until you are actually there on-site studying the stonework in detail, up close and personal.

Just getting to the site is an adventure. As you round the 14th switchback on a dirt road in a bus too wide for said road it becomes quickly apparent that this is no easy place to reach. I would have hiked to the top, but the weather wasn't cooperating and I simply wasn't up to the task of lugging 40 pounds of camera equipment up 1,500 meters of slippery steps. Once you get past the crowds of tourists and guided tour groups you're able to spend some quiet time relatively alone in the site. I hit it at the very end of the rainy season which is just prior to the beginning of the major tourist influx. It was definitely a sweet spot and I reaped the benefit of staying in nearby Aguas Caliente for two nights to account for any inclement weather.

You couldn't fit a razor blade
between these stones

The first thing I was awestruck by was the sheer size of the site. It's far more expansive and spread out than you are led to believe in books and articles you can find online. Even with my 11mm ultra wide angle lens it was difficult to capture it all in a single frame. Some of the terraces extend for 1,000 meters both up and down the mountain slope. But even more surprising is the fact that 70% of the site has still yet to be excavated and explored. The vastness of this Incan wonder goes far beyond what we can see today. Looking out over the surrounding mountain peaks you can see areas of jungle that suddenly jut upward from the mountain side suggesting the presence of as yet undiscovered structures. Machu Picchu was found, but it's whathasn't been found that could be even more interesting.

Every stone interlocked with eachother. The gaps seen
in some areas were caused by earthquakes.

 

The second thing that hits you like a truck is the sheer size of the stones and the distance up the mountain that they were transported. The local guides and Inca historians will tell you this was all completed with ramps, logs and well coordinated human muscle power. The stone was transported from a quarry kilometers away and then somehow moved up 2,430 meters of near vertical jungle-covered mountain side in the rain while coping with frequent earthquakes, in 80 degree heat and 80% humidity... 560 years ago... with crude tools and rope made from jungle vines. Okay, so I might be inclined to believe this generally accepted theory purely from an Occam's Razor perspective. There's no evidence to suggest that there was any other novel method used to construct the site, so the most obvious explanation is probably the correct one. 

The angle of the stone was intentional,
it helped prevent collapse during
frequent earthquakes. This photo is
actually of an Inca structure in Cusco
not Machu Picchu, but the method
and architecture is identical.

Of course, whatever evidence that may exist to the contrary is locked up in the Peabody Museum at Yale University in the United States. Not Peru, mind you, Yale. For the 100th anniversary of the discovery of Machu Picchu by Hyram Bingham, Yale University so graciously loaned the country of origin a few artifacts from it's collection to be temporarily displayed for the year. I think that's bullshit and therefore have a beef with the Peabody. Many historians have since dismissed claims that Bingham, an American explorer often cited as one of the inspirations for the character Indiana Jones, discovered Machu Picchu. But it's now widely accepted that a Peruvian got there before him and a German named Augusto Berns may have looted the site in the late 19th century long before Bingham's arrival. There is some evidence that a German engineer, J. M. von Hassel, arrived even earlier than that. Maps found by historians show references to Machu Picchu as early as 1874. Regardless, Bingham is still credited with bringing the archaeological wonder to the attention of the world and the Peruvian government tried to sidestep the controversy by deciding to celebrate "100 years of Machu Picchu in the world".

That said, there is no permanent and comprehensive collection of original artifacts from the site on display in Peru, and with no written Incan language (only the dying spoken language called Ketchua), that means there is no way to determine indefinitely how the site was constructed. It's all just speculation mixed with some logical deduction at this point and the Peruvian guides and scholars will tell you exactly that. When I questioned my own guide about the actual process involved with the stacking of the stone blocks--some of them up to 50 tons--she always started her answer with "What we think is..."

The bottom line is that we still don't really know the how, what and why of Machu Picchu. I'm sure I'll catch some flack from a diehard Inca historian about this statement and I welcome the input because I've yet to see a theory that takes into account every environmental factor. The Incas never used the wheel in any practical manner. Its use in toy artifacts demonstrates that the principle was well-known to them, although it was not applied in their engineering. The lack of strong draft animals, as well as steep terrain and dense vegetation issues, may have rendered the wheel impractical. How they moved and placed the enormous blocks of stones remains a mystery, although the general belief is that they used hundreds--possibly thousands--of people to push the stones up inclined planes. A few of the stones still have knobs on them that could have been used to lever them into position. It is generally believed that after the stones were placed the Incas would have sanded the knobs away, but a few were overlooked. Either way, let's say I approached a modern day engineering and architectural firm and outlined exactly what I wanted them to create for me--a city perched atop an 8,000 foot mountain peak in the jungle completely removed from any and all infrastructure and comprised of tens of thousands of stone blocks excavated from a quarry kilometers away. Once they stopped laughing hysterically, they would quote me an astronomical monetary figure followed by a nearly insurmountable logistical nightmare involving thousands of helicopter flights and a series of on-site crane assemblies that would rival even the most ambitious mega-construction project today. It would make no sense today just as it would make no sense in 1450.

But let's back up for a moment, I don't want to get ahead of myself here because what most people aren't aware of is an even more incredible site called Huanya Picchu which overlooks Machu Picchu from 360 meters above. This is where, according to the historians, the high priests resided along with the virgins and they would hike down from the mountain peak each morning to announce the coming of the new day. I hiked to the top of this, and I can tell you it was by far the most treacherous and insane hike I've ever made in my time on this planet. The fact that there were structures made of solid stone weighing several tons at the top of this peak, which was FAR less accessible than Machu Picchu itself, makes you wonder how and why this site could even exist in the first place.

View from the top of Huanya Picchu--you can see the switchback road to the left of MP.
It took two hours and an iron will to reach the top.

Ultimately, Machu Picchu generates more questions than answers. Why were there no 50 ton stone blocks ever found in the river at the base of the mountain? Surely they would have lost a stone or two during the construction process? Vines would have snapped, and a block would have tumbled down the steep cliff landing in or next to the river below. Would they have recovered that lost block and still used it in construction? Perhaps. The simple fact remains that we still don't know so much about the site.

Nova recently produced a documentary called "Ghosts of Machu Picchu" which explored some of these unanswered questions, I recommend checking it out. After the episode was aired Nova had a Q & A session with one of the contributors to the program, architect and archeologist Vince R. Lee. As evidenced by his answers, unknowns still abound at this site. Here are just a few questions regarding transport of the stone blocks, you can see all of the questions and answers here.

Question: Did you give any thought to the way the Incas originally carried the stone before bringing it to the building site? If they were able to break up a very large stone into building block size and keep a record of the original sequence of breakage and then reconstitute that order at the building site they could save a great deal of work in reshaping, since the blocks they were putting together had originally fit together in the first place, and a minimum of polishing would be required. ~Barry

Answer: This is an intriguing idea which has occurred to a number of us researching this question. However, in almost every case we know of, the quarries of the Incas were simply large boulder fields where loose rock had fallen from mountain faces and were chosen for their quality and their shape, rough shape and then dragged down to the building site for finishing. There is one exception to this that I'm aware of, and it is at the site of Sillustani, near the shores of Lake Titicaca in Peru where a stone is actually being chopped out of live rock in the same manner in which the Egyptians, for example, quarried their rocks. So the Incas were apparently aware of and used this method but it is very, very rare.

Question: Is it possible the Incas could have moved the stone blocks by rolling them over lengths of cordage placed across the route? ~Peg

Answer: I'm not sure what the questioner means by "cordage," although the answer to the general question of how the Incas moved large rocks through the countryside is still under study. We do not have in most cases very clear roadways to indicate the method that was used to transport the stones. We often find ramps in and around the ruin sites themselves, but out in the countryside we find very little evidence of any particular route which we believe was used to move stones, and therefore we really have very little evidence of how it was done.

Having experienced Machu Picchu first hand and climbed to the top of Huayna Picchu, I can assure you that we're no closer to answering any of these questions. Researchers, archeologists and engineers continue to marvel at this newly named 'wonder of the world' and I have a feeling Machu Picchu will continue to keep it's secrets hidden. 

For more insight into this enigma, check out "Machu Picchu's Mysteries Continue to Lure Explorers" on the National Geographic website as well as NOVA's interview with Ken Wright, a civil engineer currently studying the site.

Massive Triangles and Mass Abductions

We have received a detailed report of a bronze triangle from an eyewitness with an extensive history of conscious contact and a stellar reputation in the research and literary community.

This is an exceptional Object Special Report; we have an utterly impeccable eye witness who has keen observation and note taking skills and a new configuration of the black triangle as witnessed during a very recent mass abduction. This eye witness has requested to remain anonymous, so from this point on in the story we will refer to this CE4 witness as "Pat". Through several email exchanges with Pat, we have worked up a highly accurate rendering of what the triangles might have looked like that evening. Let's take a look at Pat's emailed text description included with the two sketches of flying triangles and an apparent mass abduction:

“The exterior of the triangle shaped craft were a very dark bronze color, almost black, but this was at night and that’s probably why they were almost black. They were a dark bronze and not black. The exterior of the craft were ribbed like corrugated metal as in the drawing. Top, bottom and sides were all ribbed. The craft were completely silent with no visible propulsion. They hovered and flew bumper to bumper or what pilots would refer to as wing tip to wing tip. The lights were red, amber and whitish light glows on the sides. In the back of the craft, the lights were in mixed positions along the corrugated surface. The lights did not flash, but all colors were represented in a soft glow of light.”

In a subsequent email from Pat I received a detailed, hand drawn sketch of the triangle seen hovering above the large field adjacent to the wooded area where an apparent mass abduction took place. There were several other triangle craft of the same configuration that were seen by Pat that night. Below is one of the sketches provided by Pat, I have removed the hand written notes in pencil that were on the same page and have typed them here below:

Original sketch provided by Pat.

"... we were in elevators as we boarded, but they were very large, the size of large rooms and they went upward very fast. I suspect this was some sort of beaming, transport technology. Maybe the craft actually lowered these ‘elevators’ downward and they were a real structure. They moved upward at an incredible speed and took large groups of us into the triangular shaped craft. The walls inside the ‘elevators’ were metallic.

• Ridged like corrugated metal
• Flying bumper to bumper, wing tip to wing tip
• Bronze black metallic
• Red, amber white glows
• No visible propulsion
• Ribbed

In another email, we received details about the abduction event itself. I want to note that I have edited out a few minor details in order to keep this witness anonymous, however all of the text regarding the actual sighting is present and unaltered.

"The sighting occurred at night over a large field adjacent to a heavily wooded State Park in the United States. After several craft were sighted, I found myself in a beige/tan colored room that was approximately 40 feet long by 16 feet wide with metallic walls. I, along with about 20 to 30 other people, was suddenly inside this room. (I feel that these triangular-shaped craft were shuttles). We all walked through a door into another smaller room that was about 10 feet by 12 feet with 10 foot high ceilings. As soon as the doors closed, we all went upward at a really high rate of speed. This made me feel we were inside a large elevator so I tend to think of these moving rooms as elevators moving into a larger structured craft.”

“People were wearing everything from everyday normal clothing to nightwear including pajamas. After we went upward very fast, I noticed everyone was walking with a dazed look on their faces except me. After the doors opened on this ‘elevator,’ everyone, still in a daze, walked out onto an enormous craft in single file. As the 'elevator' entered the craft and the door opened, I saw two tall ‘grey’ aliens with tan skin (Tans) standing off to one side. They stood at least 7 feet tall. The aliens said nothing and appeared to be observing as people exited the elevators onto the craft. I watched as the people walked toward other rooms that appeared to be ‘apartments’ but they didn’t have kitchens. There was only a bed and a toilet; no kitchen, but there were windows that looked out onto other apartments and seemingly housing blocks.”

“After everyone walked to their rooms, I went back into the ‘elevator’ which then went back down. The process repeated itself with approximately another 20 to 30 people inside the ‘elevator.’ There were also multiple ‘elevators’ taking people up to the enormous craft.”

“These triangular craft may interlock. The corrugated type ribbing may be structural docking aids. I can visualize two of these craft possibly forming a rectangle when docked.”

These are incredible details Pat is relaying to us. We can readily place the greys with the silent triangles, which now we find out are not necessarily always black, they can be dark bronze. The triangles are involved with mass abductions and we have some of the abductees like Pat remaining fully conscious, or more specifically, they are allowed to retain the memories of the experience and a few like Pat are used to calm and maneuver the large groups of people who apparently remember little or nothing of the event after the fact. Shining a bit of light onto the logistical reasoning on the part of the visitors are the apartments inside the ship for the temporary stay of the patient who is aboard long enough to need a place to lie down or use the toilet, but not around long enough to need to eat. The ground transports or elevators Pat rode in several times are interesting to note as well. Triangles certainly seem to be the shape du jour and it gives Agent D the impression that not only are we hearing more and more reports of triangle sightings, but we are getting clearer details from the witnesses of what is going on beneath and inside these craft. Will this increase in sightings and eyewitness details continue its upward curve?

Though light configurations, ports and skin surface details would seem to be varied we ultimately have two basic configurations of black triangles: equilateral triangles and isosceles triangles. The elongated triangles are based upon isosceles geometry which states that two sides of the triangle be equal versus an equilateral triangle which has three equal sides and angles and of course appears the same no matter which way it is rotated. From what we know at this point, the isosceles triangles generally are the configuration of larger vessels and in this particular sighting we can deduce from eye witness testimony that the bronze isosceles triangle is capable of transporting great numbers of crew and humans. 

All of this triangle activity in our skies – what does it mean? What is it leading up to? I realize for many readers (myself included) it is difficult to wrap one’s head around the idea that the triangles are utterly real and full of telepathic, alien beings. Many readers likely feel more comfortable with the notion that black triangles are operated by secretive military personnel and simply mistaken for UFOs. While we cannot rule out the possibility that some black triangles may be operated by a military style faction of humans, this special report in particular is from an impeccable witness and unquestionably ties the Visitors, specifically the tan greys, to the silent triangles. In fact, this report not only ties the silent triangles to the greys, it ties them to the abduction phenomenon.

Addendum by Agent K

I've recently been reading a book by author David Marler entitled Triangular UFOs: An Estimate of the Situation and it's been an eye-opening read thus far. His first case study begins with the January 5th, 2000 southern Illinois sightings where multiple eyewitnesses - including law enforcement and fire department personnel - witnessed low, slow moving black triangular and rectangular craft over the course of several hours. Without going into too much detail about those sightings there was one eyewitness description in particular that I feel relates directly to Agent D's Special Report above. 

On the morning of January 5th, 2000, a computer technician working for a St. Louis law firm was driving home at 2 am when his attention was drawn to a large, dark rectangular object in the air moving toward him at about 200 feet altitude. He said it spanned the width of the highway and initially "looked like a bus" in recorded testimony he gave in 2004. On the side of the object appeared to be a large, long rectangular "window" lit up from within. As the object crossed the highway in silence, the man noticed a Florissant police officer was pulled over on the side of the road outside his vehicle watching the craft. And here's where it gets weird... Within the object's illuminated window, the man reported seeing what appeared to be "a child skipping" which then paused at the window and peered outward. The witness informed his wife of the event that same morning, and after David Marler interviewed the man in 2004, he confirmed with the man's wife the same details that were conveyed to her at the time of the sighting. 

No media coverage was ever given to this sighting. I find this very interesting considering we're talking about triangular and rectangular craft full of aliens and hybrid beings actively abducting people...

How to Effectively Record a UFO

What Not to Do

Don't use your phone-camera. Seriously, don't even think about it. If that's your only option available at the time, here's what you should do. Forget about fumbling around looking for your phone, instead focus 100% of your senses on the UFO itself. First, make a mental note of the current time of day, location and weather conditions. Second, take note of the shape, size, color, intensity and direction of travel of the object. Even the latest and greatest phone and tablet-cams can't hold a candle to a DSLR or even a mid-range point and shoot (at least not yet). The 9mp camera in my Galaxy S2 is wonderful...until you try to zoom in on anything in the distance. Or use it in the dark. 

UFO added to photo using a popular app.

The web is absolutely flooded with out of focus, pixelated blobs or multi-colored swooshes that people breathlessly refer to as their "UFO sighting" when no photo at all--and a more detailed eyewitness description--would have been far more useful to an investigator. I won't even go into the possibility of lint or dirt on the lens from having it shoved in your pocket contaminating the image, or the plethora of apps now available that allow you to insert a fake "UFO" into your photos. 

The bottom line is that out of tens of thousands of phonecam shots of UFO's that have been taken, I can count on one hand how many of those are actually useful. Some may argue 'it's better than nothing.' Yes and no. In most cases it only adds unnecessary clutter to the testimony, and in some cases gives diehard skeptics an even bigger bone to chew on. The human eye will always be FAR superior to any camera, combine that with our ability to process more than just what we're seeing visually and our brain becomes a far superior option to a smartphone.

Your Moment of Opportunity

 

The Floridad, Uruguay UFO photo sequence

That all said, let's assume you have an actual camera on you at the time of the sighting. Great. If the camera has a burst mode, enable it immediately. Taking a handful of shots is borderline useless. As an investigator, I want to see 10...20...40 shots in succession. This not only enables me to determine a rough trajectory of the object but it rules out the entry-level hoaxer who is typically lazy and won't spend the time to doctor 20 individual photos. 

Secondly, and this is critical, try to establish a frame of reference. If the object is hovering above the horizon line, make sure you begin your sequence with an establishing photo that shows the surroundings, the horizon line, the tree tops, any nearby landmarks, buildings, etc. Even if the object is nearly too small to see at that zoom level, don't worry about it. A frame of reference is crucial in determining a variety of factors when analyzing a photo. Next, zoom in halfway, not all the way because most cameras will hunt for a focus lock for precious seconds while your target could be moving or even disappear entirely while you're trying to find it in frame. Fire off a mid-range burst of shots, stop, re-establish a new focus lock if necessary and fire off a second burst. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Calm, Cool and Collected

At this point you should be multi-tasking and by that I mean looking for the nearest solid structure to lean your body against. Even the best anti-shake cameras in the world aren't perfect and it's critical to try and stabilize yourself before you attempt any further zooming. It could be a wall, a tree, the roof of a car, even a street sign or lamp post. Once you feel sufficiently stable, zoom in for the money shot. Be patient, it will seem like the camera isn't cooperating with you to establish a focus lock on a distant object in the sky. If you're a camera whisperer and you feel confident focusing manually, by all means this is your opportunity. Most point and shoots are too difficult to focus manually, but DSLR's are typically much quicker and easier. Again, shoot in burst mode whenever possible. When you depress that shutter and hold it down not only are you taking a rapid series of shots but you're also increasing the stability of your shot by instinctively gripping the camera even tighter. If you're like me, your hands will want to involuntarily shake due to the adrenaline rush and excitement. Try to remain calm and focused, this could be your first and final shot at capturing something extraordinary on record.

Luck Favors the Prepared

Tripods. You never have one handy when you need it, but even if you did you probably wouldn't have time to use it. More than 80% of UFO sightings last less than 30 seconds and that's just about how long it takes to get even the slickest tripod deployed. Now if this is an event that occurs on a regular basis and you have the time to pre-plan for it's arrival, by all means have a tripod deployed and ready to go. Have TWO ready and strategically positioned if possible. But more often than not this won't be the case. You'll be in your car driving near a forest or a lake at dusk and your wife will nonchalantly point out a glowing disc hovering above the opposite shoreline. Be ready! Have a disposable 35mm camera in the glovebox. You may not be able to zoom, but film is priceless when it comes to UFO footage because it's still higher resolution than even the best digital camera. If you own an extra camera that's maybe a little older and doesn't get much use anymore, keep it in the car or throw it in your briefcase or purse for the commute to work, you never know when an opportunity will present itself and you don't want to be the person saying "I didn't have a camera with me." I bought my nephew a pair of binoculars with a built-in digital camera a couple years ago, it was the best thing since sliced bread. They're cheap enough now (less than $50) that it's actually possible to have a couple of them stashed in strategic spots.

A Shot in the Dark

 

This does nobody any good.

But what if it's dark? Your challenge has now become exponentially more difficult. It's notoriously hard to get a focus lock on a pinpoint of light much less adjust your aperture so it's not wide open for multiple seconds creating those wonderfully useless multi-colored ribbons of light photos we see all over the web. If you have a night shot mode on your camera, enable it. If you have a steadyshot or VR mode on your camera, enable it. I know it's hard, but try to stay as steady as possible and rest either yourself or the camera against a solid surface: the roof of your car, a nearby light pole or street sign. The less you move around the more visual data an investigator will have to ascertain from the footage. Videographic stabilizers only go so far, especially with night time footage because stabilization software has a very difficult time with light streaks.

Sound Advice

I realize these are mostly fundamental, common sense points I've been making here, but in the adrenaline rush of the moment most people 'black out' and forget everything. For instance, if we can't hear anything in the footage over the shouts of "HOLY SHIT!!! OH MY GOD, IT'S A FUCKING UFO!!" then we can't determine if the object is making any sound, even a fairly distant object. A low level, low frequency 'hum' or 'buzz' is typically associated with giant black triangle UFO sightings. Capturing the audible evidence of a UFO is just as important as the visual evidence. I realize it will be difficult to contain yourself verbally during such a sighting, but try to replace expletives with whispered details of what your eye is capturing, not the camera. In many cases what the eyewitness is describing visually doesn't match up with what the camera is capturing for any number of reasons, so a verbal description can be helpful in an investigation.

The Diamond of Deceit

Once you've captured your footage it's time to analyze it and reach a whole multitude of incorrect conclusions about it, especially if it involves a pinpoint of light in the distance. The first misconception people make about cameras is that what you see in the video playback is exactly what the object looked like. Cameras don't lie, right? Wrong. They are imperfect machines built by other imperfect machines and you have to keep in mind a number of common artifacts that can appear in film, digital images and video. Halo's, atmospheric distortion, lens flares, digital interpolation...the list is long. Probably one of the most common misidentifications is the dreaded diamond of death. Most cameras have an aperture with one of three geometric shapes--a diamond, hexagon or heptagon. 

Aperture shapes vary according to the number of petals they use.

This is an artifact of the camera having either a 4, 6 or 7 bladed aperture. Many older generation video cameras have a 4 bladed aperture which can turn a round point of light into a glowing diamond at full zoom. Here's an excellent example of how easily one can be fooled into thinking that distant light in the sky is anything other than an aircraft.

The Irony of Truth

We live in a cynical world equal parts skeptic and believer, it's an unfortunate fact that your 'mind blowing' UFO video may not be as impressive as you think it is. Youtube is bursting at the seams with videos entitled "ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING UFO FOOTAGE - BEST EVER RECORDED!!!!" and the vast majority of them are shaky, blurry, 240p garbage that serve only to further muddy the already murky waters of UFO videos. In this day and age people expect slick HD footage, if it's not 720p we're not even going to bother paying attention. The UFO footage dilemma is that the higher resolution your footage is, the higher our scrutiny of said footage will be. Ironically, the better your footage is the more people write it off as 'fake' or CGI! So you cannot assume the footage will stand on it's own, there needs to be more specific 'metadata' if you will, which is why I said it's important to have a good corroborating eyewitness testimony along with specifics like location, time, date, weather conditions, etc.

 

The video above is a good example of a well recorded, close up and clear UFO sighting by Mauricio Ruiz from Alvin, Texas which has subsequently been investigated by multiple researchers and (thus far) has not been proven to be a hoax or fake. It was recorded on cassette tape with his camcorder on April 11, 2008. This sighting has a number of interesting elements worth noting, such as Mauricio's calm demeanor during the experience and the obvious agitation expressed by his dog. Is it the best footage ever? No, but it presents a strong case and I felt it was noteworthy. (Watch the full episode and results of the footage analysis here)

At some point someone out there is going to capture the most amazing UFO footage in history in high definition, steady, stabilized zoom with a high quality camera. It will be independently analyzed and vetted by professionals, determined to be genuine, and we will truly have a piece of visual history making headlines. Until that day comes, keep your eyes to the sky and your camera always at the ready.
