Peru is a country that inspires visitors from all over the globe to come and discover what it has to offer. With stunning scenery, vibrant cities and, for some, the chance to discover treasure, there's plenty that sets Peru apart from the rest. Home to many different ancient tribes, the Incas have become one of the most famous groups of inhabitants in Peru. Historically, the Incas were robbed of their treasures when Spaniards invaded, and it's thought that much of the gold and silver loot was melted down for cash. Because of this, many of the Incas then chose to hide their treasures in order to prevent them from being stolen. And that means that much of what they had hidden could still be out there today. Typical Inca treasures are gold, embellished with many beautiful metals and stones. The Incas created statues and ornaments, which researchers and archaeologists have been discovering and researching for many years. It's these experts who note that there is a very good chance that there are plenty of artefacts left to be found. There are many beliefs that surround Inca treasures - where they are found and how much they are worth. Each year explorers head to Peru in hopes that they'll be able to stumble upon some of these artefacts - though the government has made it illegal to remove them from the country. Tourists are also often drawn to the area surrounding Machu Picchu, which was known as a home and worship spot of the Incas. The mountain ruins provide stunning views of Peru, and are a huge tourist attraction in the area. The Inca Trail takes visitors across a mountain range that boasts spectacular views and wildlife. It has also been noted that Machu Picchu was well-hidden and protected from the outside; it was not until 1911 that Spanish conquistadors found the hidden ruins. Many people searching for Spanish and Inca treasures are looking for El Dorado - a hidden city that many believe holds the remains of Inca treasures. Now it is up to the many people who head to Peru each year to decide if they believe there are still Spanish and Inca treasures to be found in the region. The country's border along the Andes Mountains has many experts noting that it's the perfect hiding spot for the so-called lost treasures of the Incas. Now it's easier than ever to visit Peru and perhaps search for a little treasure along the way. Whether you choose to find some treasure or simply admire the many sights when you take your flights to Peru, you are sure to make many interesting discoveries at this cultural hotspot.
The Lost Pyramids Of Caral 3 of 5 Making this BBC video available for educational purposes... from www.bbc.co.uk "The magnificent ancient city of pyramids at Caral in Peru hit the headlines in 2001. The site is a thousand years older than the earliest known civilisation in the Americas and, at 2627 BC, is as old as the pyramids of Egypt. Many now believe it is the fabled missing link of archaeology - a 'mother city'. If so, then these extraordinary findings could finally answer one of the great questions of archaeology: why did humans become civilised?" A lot has been discussed since this was put out. From Seattle Times (December 23, 2004): "A Peruvian site previously reported as the oldest city in the Americas actually is a much larger complex of as many as 20 cities with huge pyramids and sunken plazas sprawled over three river valleys, researchers report." Construction began in 3000 BCE (300-400 years before the people of Kemet/Egypt began the Pyramid of Djoser). These cities flourished peacefully for more than 1200 years.
Description: Seven extra lunar months were the chosen standard practice that matched with the seven-day week. Middle Eastern calendars likely intercalated 7-months as 209-days of l/s separation time. The 360-day length of year was common in very early prehistory. Extending the single l/s calendar year to the Mayan "katun" 20-year multiple of the l/s calendar continues exactly this fundamental, approximate intercalation of 210-days. Any l/s calendar year of 360-days balances the difference between lunar years and solar years. The outcome is time split to become 105-days each for the lunar-side and solar-side.

Inca Onset is being installed at the Fujifilm Solutions Center in Kansas City. Watch the time lapse video of the installation of onset. Onset is the world's fastest, large-format UV flatbed inkjet printer. Yes, the world's fastest. Onset is so fast, and so dramatically faster than anything the market has ever seen, that it creates a new category of flatbed printing we're dubbing HSI... for "High Speed Inkjet".
