Found: Ancient Peruvian Executioner’s Lost Head
Published July 20, 2011

the truth is actually pretty simple
the world was a lot colder then, and it was basically a ski resort
Machu Picchu was a place where Pablo, in the past, was very wily.
I’d say #3. They didn’t have a written language to spread and relied on quipu to relay commands to the faithful. There was no utilization of the wheel to spread their empire. The only place to go was up.

“Over Macho Grande? No, I’ll never get over Macho Grande!”
These indians were seers and soothsayers.
It was built to honor the later coming of Reagan to earth. . . .
Terraced mountain, different levels and lots getting different sun and rain. Selective breading of crops for producing large amounts of food for the population
“There once was a tribe called the Incas,
“Who got to be known as big drincas.
“They worshipped the sun,
“And had lots of fun,
“But the peasants all thought they were stincas.
Buck Murdock: “Striker, you get that ship down... and down safe... [a giant money safe falls down behind Murdock] ... and there just might be a few of us who will forget about Macho Grande.”
Right.
producing large amounts of food for the population = Reagan
duh.
I sure don’t know. I think it must have been sacred or otherwise very special because it was built in a ridiculous location, even for the Incas.
A few years back (probably before 2005, but anyway) I read that each of the houses in Machu Picciu had firewood piled in front of the door. That meant that the houses were vacant, that the population left either en masse or at least during a short period of time. That’s part of the delightful mystery that is that site.
