In The Land Of Maya and Inca (Peru) - Travel Video.  DVD.  Cosmos Global Documentaries.  52 Minutes.

Myths, secrets and mystery surround the archaeological sites of the Maya and Inca in both Middle and South America. The city of Teotihuacán is no exception. The founding of this ancient and historically important city probably dates back to the second or third century A.D. when construction of the mighty Sun Pyramid crowned by a temple, was completed.

The rain god, Tlaloc, and the Feathered Snake, Quetzalcoatl, were the major deities in the flourishing ancient city in some parts of which the magnificent decoration of various sanctuaries, including beautiful reliefs has been preserved to the present day.

In Chichén Itzá the association between the beautifully decorated ancient monuments and temples and their function as a place of human sacrifice is more than evident. Heavy stone tables and human-shaped sacrificial altars such as the Chac Mool create a rather disturbing and mysterious ambience and even today little is known of the true nature of the horrifying rituals that once took place there.

Despite its rather modest size the magnificent location of Tulum, located in the northern part of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Caribbean coast, is still one of the most popular and well-known Maya sites in the world. Tulum was once entirely surrounded by a massive defensive wall with towers and battlements and in the 14th century the small port developed into one of the most important trading centres in the region.

The desolate and extensive desert in Southern Peru hides one of the most spectacular secrets of Nazca culture, the legendary and mysterious geoglyphs engraved on the surface of the desert. There are illustrations of various animals that measure a hundred metres and further images that extend for several kilometres. The precision and huge dimensions of these lines is simply breathtaking. For some time it was believed that they could only be discerned from the sky but the truth is that they can be seen from the neighbouring hills.

Perhaps at some time in the future and with the help of more archaeological discoveries there will be further revelations with regard to the mysteries of the Inca people. However, in this region, each discovery leads to a new mystery!

Dr. Merry's Nomad Travel: Treasures of Peru - Travel Video.  DVD.

Featuring: Dr. Dwayne L. Merry
Textbooks tell the dramatic story of the imprisoned Inca who paid a ransom of a roomful of gold to the Spanish Conquistador Francisco Pizarro and, for most people, this event in 1532 and the subsequent fall of the Inca empire, marks the beginning of the history of Peru.
   However, today’s findings enhance yesterday’s knowledge of history. Dr. Dwayne L. Merry, noted anthropologist and archaeologist, demonstrates in this film that the Incas built their civilization on previous cultures dating back more than 3,000 years.
Travel through the snow-covered Andes and the lush jungles of the Amazon in search of the Treasures of Peru.
   Take a voyage across Lake Titicaca, where the Incas say man was created. Explore the 3,500 year old temple at Chavin. Fly over the mysterious drawings on the plains of Nazca.
   Admire Enrique Poli's unrivaled collection of gold artifacts. Marvel at the mystical city of Machu Picchu. Visit with Thor Heyerdahl and Walter Alva as they tell of their discoveries of fabulous treasures.
Learn about the colorful people while viewing the scenery of this magnificent country.
Dr. Dwayne L. Merry, a professor of anthropology and archaeology, has conducted research and excavations around the world and written several books on his travels around the world.  75 minutes.

Chavin De Huantar Peru - Travel Video.  DVD.  Global Treasures.  10 Minutes.
On the journey to Chavin De Huantar, one of the oldest cult locations in Peru, there’s the fascinating world of the Andes that seems to touch the clouds. Radiant colour and pure Nature are constant companions on the 109 kilometre route from Huarez to these ancient ruins.

The settlement of Chavin De Huantar has a history that dates back 3000 years. Even today little is known of the exact way of life of the Chavin culture as no written history of it has been discovered. Thus, research is restricted to the archaeology that has been uncovered that also includes various stone images.

Snakes, animals, and birds engraved in stone have been among the most commonly found images of this mysterious culture. Assisted by beautiful flat reliefs even today numerous temples and fortresses show the artistic talents of Chavin culture. During the first millennium A.D., this seven hectare area was the most important place of pilgrimage in Peru.

In the oldest section there are entrances to a subterranean world where an assortment of labyrinth-like passages and rooms extend down almost seven floors. The scant light that manages to find its way into the narrow passageways adds to the mysterious atmosphere of this ancient architectural masterpiece.

For the inhabitants of Peru’s mountains in the first millennium B.C., Chavin De Huantar symbolised the beginning of a colourful new age and today it is an atmospheric example of a mysterious and fascinating past.

Church and Convent of San Francisco (Iglesia Y Convento San Francisco Saint Francis Monastery Lima) Peru - Travel Video.  DVD.  Global Treasures.  10 Minutes.
The Iglesia De San Francisco and its adjacent monastery is one of the most important historic monuments in Lima, the capital of Peru. Soon after Francisco Pizarro founded Lima in 1535 Franciscan friars began to build the monastery.

The Iglesia De San Francisco, the Holy Francis Of Assisi Church and the neighbouring monastery, form the country’s largest religious complex and date back to the colonial period.

The Iglesia De San Francisco’s outstandingly beautiful façade and most notably its wonderful porch are unique in the whole of Peru. The decorative sculptures are reminiscent of Baroque design and are highly detailed and extremely precious.

The Franciscan monastery is surrounded by two impressive sacred buildings the Mary´s Solitude and the Church Of Our Dear Lady of Miracles.

Cusco (Cuzco) Peru - Travel Video.  DVD.  Global Treasures.  10 Minutes.
Today a proud symbol of the Conquistadores, the historic Spanish conquerors, towers over the town of Cuzco in Peru’s mountains. Prior to the arrival of the Spanish, Cuzco lay at the centre of the Inca world and was the capital and religious centre of an immense kingdom.

The unique combination of Spanish and Inca culture is apparent in the attractive architecture of the town. Typical characteristics of the houses are the overhanging tiled roofs and beautiful old balconies.

One of the town’s most extravagant colonial buildings, the Compañía De Jesús Church in the Plaza De Armas Square, was built on mighty Inca foundations.

Some of Cuzco’s streets still display the impressive and sturdy architecture of the Inca people. Attractive houses line the former procession roads of the Inca that led from the main square, today’s Plaza De Armas, to the Sun Temple.

Although historic, Cuzco is full of mystery and speculation with regard to its famous Inca predecessors.

Lake Titicaca (Lago Titicaca) Peru - Travel Video.  DVD.  Global Treasures.  10 Minutes.
Lago Titicaca Travelling to Lake Titicaca, and at an altitude of over 3,000m, the train journey across the mountainous terrain of the Puna High Plateau is acknowledged as one of most beautiful railway journeys in Peru.

For 3,500 m. the yellowish-brown grassland of the Wetlands of Punapuna dominate the landscape of the truly breathtaking high plateau and after several hours the spectacular journey reaches Lake Titicaca, legendary birthplace of Inca culture.

Located in the centre of the Andes and at an altitude of nearly 4,000m., Lake Titicaca covers an area of 8,300 square kilometres and has a depth of almost 300m.

The western area of the lake contains a fascinating artificial island world known as the ‘Floating islands of the ancient people of Uru’. The ‘islands’ are floating mats of dried-out Totora, a reed-like papyrus that grows in the dense areas of the lake’s marshy shallows.

It is no wonder that the Inca people believed that this watery region was a holy lake. In Inca mythology, the ‘Children Of The Sun’, Manco Capac and Mama 0cllo, emerged from the depths of Lake Titicaca to create their glorious and mystical empire.

Machu Picchu (Machu Piqchu) Peru - Travel Video.  DVD.  Global Treasures.  10 Minutes.

Located high in the Peruvian Andes, the Lost City Of the Inca’s, Machu Picchu, is reminiscent of an imaginary castle surrounded by steep ravines and mountains.

Sacrificial sun altars and ritualistic monuments testify to the sun cult of its original inhabitants who used human sacrifices to appease the gods. The massive quantity of building materials used, along with the most amazing building techniques, contribute to the association of Machu Picchu with extraterrestrial influences.

Nazca - Travel Video.  DVD.  Global Treasures.  10 Minutes.
Approximately 450 kilometres south of Peru’s capital of Lima a desolate road leads into the vast terrain of the scant, desert-like highlands. In the midst of this almost lifeless world and surrounded by sandy mountains is the small airport of Nazca. Indeed, a single aircraft once made this region famous. One day while flying here in 1939, American Paul Kosok made an amazing discovery: long drawn-out lines that extend across the ground that are the traces of a mysterious pre-Columbian culture.

These strange hundred metre lines were created by the Nazca culture and according to archaeological research date back to the sixth or seventh century B.C. Since their discovery they have created much controversy with regard to their origin, function and significance.

There are more than a hundred lines and figures within the surrounding plains and mountains. Most of the markings were revealed by the removal of the top layer of dark stones from the ground.

In recent years one of the images known as the Astronaut has captured the imagination more than any other.

The proportions and geometric precision of the different images raise numerous questions. How could the Nazca people have created these gigantic designs? Recently a further image of perfect proportions and measuring a hundred metres was also discovered.

But how were those who created these enormous images able to gain a true perspective of their work? Is it possible that a precursor of the hot-air balloon existed in those bygone times?
