New Findings Finally Uncover the Secret of Cusco's Impossible Walls

For five hundred years, we've accepted the same story about the impossible walls of Cusco—that ancient builders shaped car-sized stones by hand with nothing but harder rocks and patience. But a new high-resolution laser scan of the most famous wall in the Andes recorded something that should not exist: a joint so tight the scanner could not find the seam at all. In this documentary, we travel high into the mountains of Peru to examine the legendary twelve-angled stone, the engineering mysteries of Inca masonry, and why the explanation in every textbook may be the most repeated mistake in the story of human civilization. What the laser found at the corners of these blocks is the detail that keeps engineers awake at night. What do you think really built these walls?
