from Megalithic Marvels · host Derek Olson

Fresh off my recent trip to Peru, we will dive deep into some of the fascinating mysteries of this enigmatic region.

That is, until he decided to obliterate them… Did you know that strategically placed all over the Cusco region are megalithic sundials? Yet what is their true purpose?
