Episode #344: Mountains and Megaliths of Peru

We go live in this episode to discuss Russ's ten day trip to Peru with Ben from UnchartedX. Photos and video from many sites are shown and details discussed. The stonework in some of these places really is very mysterious and of a quality that is difficult to explain if the builders were using "conventional" stoneworking methods.
