EXPLORING THE RUINS OF TIPONS ANCIENT ARCHITECTS

The Earth Explorer travels 45 minutes outside Cusco, Peru to explore the ruins of Tipon's ancient architects, an archaeological site
high in the Andes Mountains at 12,990 ft / 3,960 meters
believed to have pre-Inca, megalithic architecture. He questions the label 'water cult' often
attributed to Tipon, suggesting instead that the intricate water channels are not specific to but are a practical necessity for life.
The Earth Explorer finds megalithic ruins hidden from visitors with stone walls that have no way in or out, also noting the
differences between precise megalithic
rocks and cruder Inca walls. Throughout the exploration, he highlights megalithic features,
trapezoidal windows, and sophisticated water channels, reinforcing his theory that many Inca
sites were built upon older megalithic foundations.
