Who were these People
I watched a U-tube video about Peru an the images were facinating.

What the ruins show is two civilizations that lived in the same place at different times in history. What is amazing is that the earlier occupants had a vastly superior command of architecture and construction techniques. In looking at the ruins one can see stone work that is elegantly rendered, using blocks of stone that were huge. Then one can see where the Incas who came later moved in to thest structures, patching them up with adobe bricks.

What I would expect is to see the adobe bricks first and then the elegant stonework later. It isn't what the evidence shows. A more advanced group did the early work and a less advanced group arrived afterwards.

There is so much about our past that we don't understand and much of what we learned in school does not seem to be borne out by some of the amazing discoveries being made in remote parts of the world.
