opened a path that arrived at the place where they saw a beautiful panorama, full of flowers and fauna, as well as a waterfall, some 500 metres high,"

Sounds like a wonderful experience!

Nothing like hacking thru the jungle or rain forest and discovering an ancient site.

fair skinned woman were prized by the Incas.. some things don’t change. ;-) (ducks)

I’ve been to Machu Pichu. I walked for about a mile towards Cuzco on the ancient Aztec road. This sounds very cool.

Were these guys Chinese? Lot of really light skinned Chinese, and there is very good archaeological evidence that Chinese people made it to America (back circa 5000 BC).

Been there too, and it was very cool. The Shining Path dudes blew up the train 3 days after I was on it... so I consider myself very lucky!

It mentioned these white people were tall: evidence of WHITE white people also...with blond hair and blue and green eyes. One such collection of stories in L. Taylor Hansen's "He Walked the Americas"

Very interesting. They look similar to the cliff dwellings at Mesa Verde in SW Colorado.

An early conquistidore relative of mine walked from the Andes to the mouth of the Amazon way back when ~ kept a diary. He reported all sorts of things, many of which have not been verified until now.

I would imagine his idea of "light" and our idea of "light" would be substantially different after literally years among the Indians.

There are "clear eyed" people among the Chinese. Look just like Chinese too, except they have "clear eyes".

The Japanese royal families (yup, more than one) have some "clear eyed" folks ~ look typically Japanese otherwise.

Some of them tan deeply anyway.

The Indianapolis Art Museum has a fairly large collection of Andean bowl on display. It’s the same style as these buildings. One of the bowls is clearly for containing magic mushrooms!
