      You are confusing 'then' with 'than'. I think it's caused by how society tends to listen and watch videos rather than read books, that is the cause of the problem, it's a worldwide phenomena. Plus, the American accent doesn't help either, when pronouncing the word 'than', which does sound like 'then'.
      This should help you get it right:
      'Then', used to explain something happening next: 'He then went to the market'. 'I get home, then I put the kettle on'.
      'Than', (in your case), used when making a comparison: 'It cost more than I could afford'.. The comparison is 'this is more than that'...

      The buildings themselves even more impressive. There is no cement. Just stone. And those stones were carved without iron tools, so...stone on stone. And in an area that sees minor earthquakes often, it's amazing that they're still standing. If you look into the corners of some bldgs at Machu Picchu, it's even more marvelous, when you see how closely they fit together

The results are presented in the article: “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru” (DOI: 10.20944/preprints202108.0087.v7).

      The Inca say that the structures were already built before they got there. The Inca did not have the skills or knowledge to build the megalithic structures. There are often three different styles of stonework with the higher quality was on the bottom, a lesser quality in the middle and the Incan on the top is of very poor quality compared to the other two.

Majestic beauty, nice people, people still living native America ways, the food is fabulous, ruins everywhere and prices are right. Everything but machu picchu was pretty cheap. I got rooms and day tours for under $30. $80 dollars a day for a single traveler doing lots of stuff and stuffing my face..lol
      Hint..flights are cheap and fast in Peru. Buses are super nice but unless your going up or down the coastal highway, they are slow in the mountains.
      Huscarean park and Trujillo in the north are not as popular as places in The South but should be. The one is a mountain park. The other is a city with a very nice square and many ruins from 2 cultures right outside town.
      Loved spain, Austria, Turkey and believe it or not southern Mexico. Maya mexico was super safe, lots of ruins, jungle and cloud forests, native Americans which were nice just not down by cancun. Merida, Palenque, San cristabol de la casas was a trip back in time.

    The Chachapoyas, Aka The White Cloud People - "Warriors of the Clouds", was a civilization living in the cloud forests of the Amazonas of present-day Peru. The Inca Empire conquered their civilization shortly before the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. At the time of the arrival of the conquistadors, the Chachapoyas were one of the many nations killed off by the Incas, due to their constant attacks from the Inca troops.

    After Dan Carlin, this is my favourite history channel. And your visuals are so harmonious with the narration. Always looking forward to new releases from you guys. Thanks for your consistent high quality work. 🙏
