At an elevation of 14,000 feet above sea level, this remote area is not an easy journey. With loving conviction, good shoes, and armloads of donations for the village children, our group was not only welcomed by the townsfolk but also given a command performance of all the high plateau had to offer. Marcahuasi is steeped in ancient legend dating back to a pre-flood, Lemurian origin. The edifices of this remarkable plateau fall squarely in the realm of forbidden archaeology. Here one finds cyclopean carved stone monuments in unmistakable images - the faces of humanity and zoomorphic creatures, some extinct.
Stories persist of anomalous phenomena, including balls of light, and levitation .
This is a place outside the veil of time, where only shaman s and holy people venture. A Peruvian archaeologist, the late Dr. Daniel Ruzo , documented the site for six years in the 1950 s. Then proceeded to travel the globe, theorizing that a pre-flood civilization had once erected not only the megaliths at Marcahuasi, but also those of Machupicchu, Sacsayhuaman, and other fantastic stone structures around the world. For years I d heard similar stories. One theme played over in my mind, the very yang quality of the site itself.
