The megalithic site of Sacsayhuaman is an enduring enigma, the history of it’s gigantic masonry is shrouded in mystery and contradiction.
This is part 1 of a 2-part series investigating Sacsayhuaman. I look at the location, the evidence that Sacsayhuaman and Cusco may all have been a single ancient megalithic city, and dive into the Inca symbology of the site.
Part 2 coming soon!

An addendum to my mini-documentary about ancient egyptian tube drilling, in this video I offer some additional thoughts and context on the topic, and I answer some commonly asked questions. I discuss other examples of tube drills, including some in Peru, and share some more depth on the role that Flinders Petrie has played in the history of Egyptology and our understanding of the ancient world.

I need to make some designs. So many ideas, so little time 🙂

This is an investigation into the story and mystery of the enigmatic tube drills of Old Kingdom Egypt. A story that stretches across 150 years, from Petrie to Lehner to Dunn, this is an astonishing tale, with a startling and challenging conclusion!

A full length documentary, this has been in the works for a long time! I will release several ‘addendum’ videos on this topic. Please consider supporting UnchartedX for more work like this via the value-for-value model at http://unchartedx.com/support !
