Megalithic Marvels - Ancient Sundials, Viracocha’s Giants, & Inca Stargates

Episode Date: June 30, 2026

Fresh of my recent trip to Peru, we will dive deep into some of the fascinating mysteries of this enigmatic region. Incan legends whisper of the creator deity Viracocha who spoke into existence a race of primordial giants. That is, until he decided to obliterate them… Did you know that strategically placed all over the Cusco region are megalithic sundials? I will share their true purpose… Why did the Inca believe in stargates, and were one of these so-called “portals” of Inca legend discovered in the 90s?JOIN ME ON A TOURSOURCESBook "Inca Mythology" https://a.co/d/0bKJACDkArticle by Ashley Cowie https://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/viracochas-astronomical-creation-engine-008046

Viricoch's giants, Inca Stargates, history is truly stranger than fiction. And as a follow up to my last episode and fresh off my recent tours to Peru and Easter Island, we are going to cover some of these fascinating ancient mysteries associated with these incredible regions. A quick reminder, please subscribe to my podcast. And also, please leave me that five star review, especially if you're watching. on Spotify or listening on Apple that really, really helps me out. So on my flight to Peru just a few weeks ago, on my way I downloaded an audible book called Incan mythology by Matt Clayton, which I'll link in the show notes. And this book documented the many Incan legends

and mysterious characters. And I thought it had a good breakdown of the specific Viracocha creation legend, which I find so far. fascinating because when it comes to legends, there are usually some deeper truths that we can pull from them because myths and legends are often the faint memories of the ancients, of ages past, of the prehistoric era. And so this Viracocha creation legend reads as follows. Long ago there was darkness and in the darkness was Lake Titicaca. Out of the lake came Veracotcha, the creator of all things. He began to create a world without light because he did not create the sun, moon, or stars.

He began to sculpt a race of giants and commanded them to worship him. The giants came alive at Veracotcha's word. Some of them failed to worship him so he turned them to stone. Others were swallowed up by the ground which closed over them. Veracocha made it rain for 60 days and nights. Soon the whole world was covered by a flood. Everything was destroyed. None of the giants were ever seen again.

When the waters receded, Veracocha returned to the island of the sun. This time he created lights in the head. heavens, the sun, moon, and the stars. Next he traveled to Tijuana, where he took stones and molded them into people. He gave them clothes, languages, songs, and seeds. He sent the people on a journey below the earth, and they emerged on the surface in different locations. Veracocha and his two sons civilized the people and taught them everything, farming and medicine. Veracoccia then put on his cloak and staff and went on a journey northward toward Kusko,

which he named himself. He called forth a man named Alcavisa, who he made the first lord of Kusko. Veracocha continued on to Porto Vallajo, where he met his two sons, and then they went down to the coast. He told his followers that he was leaving and to be aware that others will later come claiming to be he. He warned them not to listen to them, but only to the messengers he would send to teach them of his ways. Then he and his sons walked on the surface of the water, on the seafoom, and departed this world. This is why they call him Viracocha. which translates as foam of the sea.

So I find it so interesting how this Inca creation legend parallels in so many ways with the biblical creation story. Here's just a few of the similarities. In both accounts, we hear of this primordial darkness near the beginning of the account. Although I would throw out there that for the biblical, creation account. The primordial darkness comes in Genesis chapter 1 verse 2, not Genesis chapter 1 verse 1. 1 1 describes in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Period. When you look at the Hebrew, it basically means complete, finished, done, beautiful, ready to go. It's the next verse, chapter 1, verse 2, which says, now there was darkness,

over the surface of the deep. So it's talking about this primordial darkness in verse two, not verse one. So there are many researchers that are now contemplating if something happened between Genesis 1-1 and Genesis 1-2, where Genesis 1-1 seems to be describing this perfect, created, ready-to-go creation. And then in 1-2, it's describing something completely different when you look at the Hebrew.

it's describing darkness covering. It's describing vanity, chaos, ruinous cities, and wastelands as if an atomic bomb went off. So what happened between Genesis 1-1 and 1-2? When you look at the Hebrew, it appears that something did take place. So did Genesis 1-1 happen long, long before Genesis 1-2? is Genesis 1, 2 basically describing the recreated Earth where God is in this story fixing what he had originally made long ago and was damaged is he now fixing it and restoring it. That's kind of what the gap theory is.

But again, the point I'm making here is that both of these accounts describe this period of primordial darkness. Both accounts describe the world being created before the sun, moon, and stars are at actually created. Kind of interesting. Both accounts also describe God speaking creation with the spoken word. Both accounts also speak of a race of giants that were destroyed by a worldwide flood. Very, very interesting. There is one important distinction, however, in the Inca Veracocha creation legend. It describes Viracocha creating the giants

to worship him. In the biblical creation account, if you really look into it, God does not create the giants. This was created by Satan or Lucifer by having the fallen angels breed with earth women

who created a race of hybrids, half human, half demigod, who their offspring, was the Nephilim, these giants who were cannibalizing humans and slowly breeding them out, if that makes sense, which was why God sent the flood. But in both accounts here, we see the flood is being sent to wipe out the hybrids or the giants. Both accounts here, the biblical and the Inca, describe the creation of humanity and civilization.

Expanding. Both accounts here speak of the Creator and his son or sons. In the biblical account, you've got God and his son Jesus Christ. In this Inca account, you've got Viracocha and two sons. And both accounts also seem to describe the Creator leaving the planet and warning their followers is that others would come later claiming to be them. Now, when you look deeper into the biblical account, you've got God the Father and his son, Jesus Christ, but Jesus is also considered God in the flesh walking on the earth, who is crucified, rises again,

and says he will one day return. But he warns his disciples that many will come in my name, claiming to be me, don't believe them. So it's interesting that Veracoccha is warning his followers in the same way. And then the last similarity I see in both of these creation stories is you got both of the gods walking on water. Again, Jesus Christ, God and the flesh on earth, walked on water, if you know, the famous Bible story. And then you've got Veracotcha leaving the planet out in Pacific walking on the sea foam, hence his name of Veracocha, which means foam of the sea. So in this Veracocha creation mythos, the origin point of civilization is right here at Lake

Tidicaca near southern Peru and Bolivia. And it even talks about how Veraccha went to Tijuana, this ancient megalithic city where he was creating people. And literally in this legend, it's talking about how after the floodwaters receded, Veracocha returns like to the planet on the island of the sun, which is in the center of Lake Titicaca, which is crazy because on my next Peru tour here, shameless plug here, on my next Peru and Bolivia tour this September, which you can still sign up for, and through the end of June, we have a $300 or $400 discount you can lock. walk in. We are literally going to Lake Titicaca. We're going to float all over it, and we are going to

go to the island of the sun where legend says this mysterious creator god of Viracocha literally descended. So go to megalithic marvels.com slash tours or click the link in the show notes. If you want to join me and about 30 others on this incredible adventure of a lifetime to southern Peru to Bolivia, we're going to do. see Pumapunku in the H blocks, strange elongated skulls. And then there's an optional extension after the main tour to come with me up to Kusko and see the megalis of Kusko, Saxe-Waman, and then go to Machu Picchu. It's going to be incredible.

I hope you'll join us. It's important to note that these plumed serpent deities of South America and Central America, such as Viracocha, who is worshipped by the Inca, These were not just worshipped as distant gods, but they were literally created with the founding of the civilizations, the giving of secret knowledge, even living among the people and teaching them like the occult sciences before departing over the sea. And these plumed serpent deities, such as Viracocha, were said to have even manifested in the legends as like these fair-skinned, tall bearded men with even blue eyes who wore cloaks and held staffs.

And there also seems to be some different tiers or levels of the Veracotia when we look into these legends. Again, we've got Veracotia as the supreme creator deity of the Inca who destroyed the evil giants with the flood. But then during this epoch after the great cataclysm in the flood that obliterated like the old world, there were survivors living in darkness, or as some legends like the one we just read says, Veracocha began to create humans.

And this is when some of the legends describe the Veracotcha's plural, arriving again with fair skin, beards, long hair, cloaks, blue eyes, and staffs in their hands, and their leader was called Contiki Veracocha. and these varicocha, according to some legends, went all throughout the Andes to the survivors, civilizing them, and then disappearing over the sea saying that one day they would return. And this is apparently why it was so easy for the Spanish in the 1530s to conquer the mighty Inc. Empire who had tens of thousands of warriors, verse like the 100, that the Spanish walked into Kusko with.

It was because when the Inca saw the Spanish arrive with their fair whitish skin, their tall height, their beards, and their blue eyes, guess who they thought was arriving? The Viracochus. Now, many Quechuan people today, the local natives, still believe in the varicoches. And they would tell you it's like an ancient civilization that literally lives underneath and inside the Andes Mountains. And there are reports that they would tell you of how they've encountered these varicotches who, they say, even show up in flying machines and shiny disks, similar to what we would call modern-day UFOs. This isn't me saying this. This is local natives today.

We'll tell you some of these fascinating stories. Now, speaking of Inca Creation Legends, researcher Ashley Cowie writes the following, which I'm going to link in the show notes below if you want to see this more later. Quote, in all of the numerous versions of the Inca creation myth, Veracocha's creation event occurred on the June solstice when the agricultural and civic and ceremonial calendars came to an annual close, the new year.

In Peru, the June solstice sun rises at 65 degrees east of north and sets at 295 degrees northwest. Local variations to these astronomical angles were made to account for differing altitudes and obstructions on the horizon. On this special date, the sun was believed to calibrate and power up the national Seke line system of 41 invisible long-distance alignments which emanated from the Cori-Consche Temple, Temple of the Sun, in Kusko and across the Inca Empire. This radial matrix of alignments was pinned onto the landscape with sacred sites called Waukas, perceived as flowing with male and female creation energy. The Sake lines not only united the spiritual focus of a nation, but they also served as an accurate, calendrical, and time device, and the knowledge of how to use or read such a semi-mythical machine, was highly guarded by the high priests of the Corricansha. Andean cosmovision is a term used to describe how ancient Indian cultures viewed time and space. Inca people nurtured a complex, polytheistic and animistic worldview

in which all agricultural, ritual, and ceremonial calendars began and ended on the June solstice. The sunlight and the resulting shadows observed at the solstice sunrise were highly spiritualized. And to fulfill their full sacred potential, they were extended across landscapes by teams of specialist, astronomer priests, highly trained in the sacred craft of measuring time and distance. Now, all of this is fascinating to consider. And I would remind you that the word Inca does not refer to the general population, but to the highest class of the society who protected their royal bloodlines, basically by interbreeding. But what's more? I believe that these ruling elite of the Inca, or some of these specialist astronomer priests, were actually hybrid humanoids with elongated. skulls. Now I've got to continually preface this by saying I'm not saying that that means

these were aliens from outer space. I'm saying I do not believe they were fully human like us. Not these with the elongated skulls that came from the Paracas region before the Inca arrived on the scene. I've done numerous episodes now on this. You can go back and find my episodes about the hybrid humanoids. I believe these guys with 25% more cranial volume that are missing the sagittal sutures and so much more genetic anomalies, these were the hybrids.

They were possibly descendants from the Nephilim, if you want to say that. Now, in archaeology, this Sake system that Ashley refers to is basically this network of sacred, lines that radiated outward from the Cori-Cansha temple in Kusco, which I'm going to tell you more about this temple in just a few minutes. And this connected hundreds of these sacred places that the Inca called Waka's all across the

landscape. And it's important that I would add that these so-called Wakas that the Inca worshipped at, they predated the Inca. I believe this with all my heart. The Inca did not make them. They found them. They knew they were made by a lost civilization with ancient technology. Because when you look at these Waka's, whether it's the Stargate or portal, as I've well documented at the Napa Iglesia site in Kusko's Sacred Valley in the cave, this seven-layered stargate built into the mountain wall.

or whether it's going up on the Kusko Highlands, you'll see a granite outcropping poking up out of the earth, and you'll go on the other side, and what will you see? What looks like precision-perfect laser-cut, trapezoidal shapes all over these rocks. Why do I say they predated the Inca? Because the Inca had copper chisels and hammers, which rank about a three or four on the Moes scale, and these were all precision fashioned out of much harder stone. This spring, denim gets a softer, lighter update. Introducing Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg,

With a fit that creates natural movement and a wide leg that feels modern, not overwhelming. Plus, that signature, wait, for this price, moment. Old Navy's, Grapeedem wide leg.

Whether it's granite or andesite or something else which rank a seven and eight on the Mos scale. There's no way those archaic hand tools could have precision fashioned this harder stone. It means somebody else did it who had a technology we have since lost. And that's why the Inca found these wakas so sacred. And I should add, as I've documented on other episodes, during these solstice events, Guess what the Inca would do at these Wakas? They would bring the elongated skull mummies from the older lost civilization that they called Malkis or mummies with huge elongated schools.

And they would place them in these altar-looking walkas. And according to some legends, these humanoids would speak telepathically to the Inca during these solstice events. But this isn't even the point I'm trying to make in this episode. The point I'm trying to make is about these walkas that Ashley was just describing. These were literally ancient solar sun disks or astronomical solar clocks. And it was all dependent on the sunlight at the proper daytime or solstice events. It would create shadows on these precision cut rocks. and they were all interconnected to the crown jewel of Kusko, which was the Kori Kansha Temple,

would come to a close. So it was a special, powerful time of the year. And nothing makes me go more crazy than when I post videos or shorts or reels on my social media showing these astronomical solar clocks, which I would recommend everybody, go follow me on megalithic marvels on my Instagram or YouTube or Facebook, where I'm constantly posting 15, 30-second videos of these incredible ancient megalithic structures. Nothing drives me more mad than one some low- IQ individual leaves a comment such as, that's where they were practicing removing the stone, as if this was just practice. I don't think anything of the sort

is true. These were incredible solar clocks, calendars, where it was solely, highly detailed with the shadows. It was so aligned with the cosmos and the mountains, this is how they kept time. And the most powerful of these wakas were actually called Intiwantanas. They were like the ancient Egyptian version of obelisks where these Intiwantanas were placed at the most sacred parts of sites like at Machu Picchu and Pisac you can still see the Intiwantanas there and they would literally pull down the energy of the sun and it was used for seed enhancement to blast the crops with life and with energy. In fact this reminds me of the legend of the Hanan Pacha which translates as the three worlds, I believe. And so this isn't me saying this. This is some of the ancient legends of

the Andean region talks about this legend of the Hanan Pacha, the three worlds, which also could mean three different civilizations. So according to this oral tradition, first we have the Hanan Pacha. This refers to the first civilization. This is like a prehistoric, megalithic civilization of builders who could shape the bedrock or these wakas, and also engineered the biggest cyclopian megaliths like we see at Soxaywaman. In the oral tradition, the Hanan Pacha also refers to the highest of three worlds or the highest of three levels of consciousness in the Inca Frama mind. And it's represented by the Condor, which we see even embedded into some of the ancient sites like at Oriante Tambo.

Then we have the Urun Pacha or the second civilization. These guys likely came along after, I believe, the great worldwide cataclysm. But they still had some of the lost knowledge and technology of the older Hanan Pacha civilization. And it's likely that these guys, the Uren Pacha, engineered the smaller-sized megaliths like we see at the Kori Concha. temple. They're much smaller in scale, but they're still precision where you can't fit a hair through the joints. They're just not the colossal marshmallow-looking style. They're more square, straight, megalithic blocks. But Urenpacha refers to the middle world or the mid-level of consciousness whose animal is represented by the puma, which we also see embedded into all

these sites. In downtown Kusko, there's a giant Apuma that is embedded into one of the walls. And then lastly, we have the Ucan Pacha, or this third civilization. And this to me describes the Inca civilization, who came along later, found these incredible megalus left behind from these two lost civilizations, the Hanan Pacha and the Uruin Pacha, and the Inka decided to build on top of the ruins of these previous two civilizations. And all they had was, you know, copper and bronze chisels and hammers. And so they were doing the best they had with the tools they had. They were trying to replicate the previous works.

But again, they could only use the stones they have. And Ukan Pacha is the lower level of consciousness. or symbolizes the underworld, and this is symbolized by the serpent, which is Amaru in Quechuan. This is why when you go downtown Kusco or you go to many sites like Machu Picchu, you'll often see these lower levels of megalithic precision engineering earthquake-proof walls that you still can't fit a hair through that were clearly made with lost technology, but about halfway up or so you'll see it's like

something happened and knocked the top layers off and then the Inca tried to finish the structure going up at an angle with the best they could small rough stones mixed with mortar and clay to go up but it's clearly two distinctly different forms of construction one superior on the bottom one inferior on the top

on the top. If you press your average mainstream tour guide in Peru about, well, why is the bottom superior megalific and the top is inferior? They'll say, oh, well, it was just because it was ceremonial, basically. The Inca were just, they thought this one area was more special, so they would build the small mortar and rock style. That makes no sense. If the Inca really built all of it, they would make the whole structure out of the impenetrable

megalithic mortarless style that's indestructible that an enemy tribe couldn't come and tear down. They wouldn't build halfway up with indestructible and then finish it with this inferior method that could easily be knocked down. Okay, so let's talk about this incredible crown jewel of Kusko. the Cori Concha Temple, because I literally just got to explore through it a few weeks ago on my spring Peru tour, and I was mesmerized inside this temple. The Cori Concha, again, was the crown jewel of the Ink Empire. Kusko was the Inca's capital, and the Cori Concha building was their capital building.

And Cori Concha, the word basically means golden courtyard. This is a Quechuan word because this is where their temple of the sun was literally lined with gold. And I believe the temple of the moon was lined with silver. And according to legend, in this incredible beautiful garden area that's still outside there in this park, there was literally life-sized figurines of animals, creatures, and people cast from pure gold and silver. And I'm not even convinced that the Inca made all of these. Many of these may have been relics from the older lost civilizations. But it's so incredible to explore through this Cori Concha Temple because today in the year

2006, guess what sits on top of it? A Catholic church. No joke. I believe the Catholic church was built on top of this temple in the 1530. or shortly after the Spanish conquered the Inca to show their dominance, they stamped their Catholic parish right on top of the most prized possession in all of Kusko. So it really is weird approaching this temple where you see this giant Catholic church, but extending out of one side, you still see the megalithic wall on the outside.

But it's not until you go inside the church, you know, pay for your ticket where you get to see the ruins of this incredible temple. And again, what we're seeing today is just the bare bones ruins even compared to what the Inca had. Because again, according to the Inca, it was in a lot more finished state covered with gold. A lot of that's all been stripped away. And one of the proofs of this, I believe, is when you look close at these walls inside the Cori Concha, you'll see tiny little rectangle indentions or cutouts in the edge of these blocks. And it's likely where this gold layer was fastened onto the walls at an angle because the walls kind of extend inward. Now, the style of these base ruins in the Cori Concha, I believe are the Uren Pacha style, the second civilization.

They're smaller than the bigger sites, but still precision. They're trapezoidal. The entrances are trapezoidal triangular-like. Inside this temple is where you find one of the smallest megaliths on earth, a block that is smaller than your fingertip. No joke. You go around the corner of one of the walls, and you see this collection of the wall.

artifacts and these blocks where you literally see precision core drill holes that go all the way through this long block. No, they are not modern day drill holes. Ancient drill holes in what looks like saw cuts. On the larger end of the site where the ruins go much higher, there's a part that's glassed off behind plexiglass, this entrance, or some would call it a window. Again, this huge trapezoidal entrance that goes up like 15 feet high at least, I believe. But what's crazy is inside of it, the reason it's plexiglassed off is because you can still see how these artifacts, these blocks, were fitting together in a component style. You literally see. You literally see, see some of the technology with your own eyes, if I'm making sense. You can literally see

how these blocks were fitting together and why there was drill holes and how it connected like ancient megalithic Legos. It literally looks otherworldly. I mean, it looks like something right out of the movie, Stargate. Now, there is a legendary tunnel that runs from beneath the Cori Concha for at least a mile straight up to the megalithic side of Sox-e-Waman on the edge of Cusco. And according to legend, the Inca priests are rumored to have put all of their most valuable possessions down into this tunnel to hide them. I'm talking about the gold, the silver, and most importantly, the elongated, sculled mummies of this older, ruling elite class. Now in the 1530s, Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro, he arrived with his army and he captures

the Inca emperor Altaualpa. And again, Pizarro only had a couple hundred or hundred max soldiers compared to the thousands upon tens of thousands of Inca warriors. But again, apparently the Inca welcomed the Spanish in with open arms. because they thought this was Veracocha returning. Now, Pizarro had Altawapa send messages all throughout his empire saying, we will release your emperor to you if you bring us back all of your gold and silver. Now, this is when the Spanish, at the Cori Concha, learn of the hidden treasure and gold,

not just lining the walls but buried in the tunnels. So of course, what do they do? They begin to tear the place down to its foundations and replace it again with the Catholic Church on top and other colonial buildings. Now, sadly, the Spanish end up getting loads of gold and silver and treasure from Altawapa, you know, sent to them to save the emperor.

But guess what? they kill Altawalpa anyway. Now there is this fascinating Incan legend that describes this mysterious Incan priest named Aramu Muru, who I believed served at the Cori Concha here in Kusco. Now basically according to legend, it is said that this priest Aramu Muru realizes the Spanish are nefarious. here to do damage. And so what does he do? He goes down into these hidden secret tunnels in the Cori Concha Temple. And he grabs the most sacred, special, prized artifact of the Inca, the most revered artifact they had a golden disc. And it was a sun disk made supposedly of pure gold. deep in the bowels of the kori concha.

And according to the oral traditions, this disc, again, was more than just an ornamental or even ritual object. But it was the key to a sacred doorway or portal known as the gate of the gods. And so the story goes that when the Spanish arrive, Aramu Muru takes the golden disc. from deep within the Cusco's Cori Concha Temple, and he secretly escapes town with this disc. He travels far away. I don't know if he was on foot or on horseback or llama, but he escapes to a very remote area where he finds the gate of the gods. a large portal that is cut into an artificially flattened mountainside.

And in the center of this flattened mountainside was a stone indention with a hollow niche or cutout where he placed the golden sun disk. And when he did so, the stone door shimmered and became bright and Aramu stepped through the portal. and thereafter it returned to stone and this priest was never seen again and according to the legend the door never changed again. Now the solar disk was allegedly found and returned to the Cori Conch and Cusco

where the Spaniards later likely looted it possibly melted it along with the temple's other golden objects. Now this legend would have likely been dismissed as an outright just fancy fairy tale of the Inca if it were not for two facts. One, the native populations continue to pass along this story as almost like a historical occurrence. And two, the doorway described in the legend seems by some to actually have been discovered near Lake Titicaca, I believe in the 90s. and today it's known as the Gate of the Gods or Aramu Muru. And again, shameless plug for my upcoming tour in September,

we will be seeing this incredible Stargate as it's known by the Inca. And I can tell you that visiting this site near Lake Titicaca in this remote, vast, mysterious region of southern Peru will not do. disappoint. And I'm going to be bringing along my brand new 4K drone that I just got on the Amazon sale. And I hope to get some incredible shots of our entire group standing in front of this doorway. I hope you'll join me. So now you know the legend of Aramu Muru. But I would love to know what you guys think. Do you think that's just pure, a fairy tale. Inca legend or do you believe there's any truth to this legend, especially considering that we have

found what appears to be this very site described in the legend in the 90s that we can still see today this mysterious looking portal cut into the mountain in southern Peru? And lastly, do you agree with me that a lost civilization predated the Inca in Peru and Bolivia, who made these megalithic walls with a lost civilization. I would love to know your thoughts.
