Thousands of years before the Inca, a megalithic civilization was founded at Lake Titicaca which spread 500 miles to Cuzco, following a global flood that destroyed the Earth in 9000 BC. Its architects — Viracocha and his seven Shining Ones — disappeared as mysteriously as they appeared, yet the legacy of temples they left behind still baffles the modern mind. Filmed at Tiwanaku, Puma Punku, Cuzco, Quenqo, Saqsayhuaman, Amuru Machay, Quillarumiyoc, Pisac, Tombomachay, Huayna Picchu, Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu, Cutimbo, Silustani and Amaru Meru.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Freddy Silva is a former art director turned 'alternative history' researcher who's been banned from at least one archaeological conference. The film was self-funded through pre-sales to the 'ancient mysteries' convention circuit.
Puma Punku's H-blocks—shown in loving detail here—are genuinely unexplained: no tools found, no quarry marks, no written records. Mainstream archaeology attributes them to the Tiwanaku culture (500-1000 AD); Silva argues 9000+ years older.
