Megalithic Tarawasi with Brien Foerster: Peru’s Hidden Mystery (First Visit!)

from Secrets in Stone · host Cassie Coppersmith

🚨 Join me as I take you to one of Peru’s most intriguing and least-known megalithic sites — Tarawasi. In this episode, you’ll get on-the-ground footage of the site plus my exclusive sit-down interview with Brien Foerster right on the steps of Tarawasi — his very first visit. He shares his first impressions, thoughts on possible pre-diluvian origins, and comparisons to other megalithic sites across Peru. Located just 70km west of Cusco, Tarawasi features a massive 100-meter outer wall built in a stunning honeycomb pattern with precision-shaped andesite blocks, a raised platform with 28 trapezoidal niches, and clear evidence of multiple construction eras. We examine the differences between the sophisticated megalithic work and later Inca-style repairs, discuss the site’s unusual northeast-southwest alignment, unusual stone damage possibly linked to an ancient cataclysm, and why the official “mid-1400s Inca tambo” story rests on surprisingly thin evidence. We also touch on the elongated skulls and other mysteries from our unforgettable week together.👉 Join Derek Olson and me in Cambodia January 2027! https://www.royalangkor-tours.com/tours/mysteries-of-cambodia-tour-laos-extension-secretsinstone/ 👉 Brien Foerster’s tours & books: https://hiddenincatours.com/ 👉 Brien Foerster’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@brienfoerster 👉 Sorcerers in Stone YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@sorcerersofstone If you enjoy these explorations, please subscribe, hit the like button, and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode.
