Editorial Reviews

Centuries ago, they performed miraculously technical brain surgery, built modern irrigation canals, made agricultural discoveries still used by modern man, and were master builders...the stone village of Machu Picchu at 9,000 feet above sea level standing as the awe-inspiring monument to their genius. How did they get the stones up the mountain to construct this architectural marvel? They were the Incas, a wondrous people who once ruled half of South America before falling to the Spanish Conquistadors. Their miracles are presented in this engrossing special by award-winning filmmaker Lucy Jarvis in her fascinating exploration of "THE INCAS REMEMBERED." Introduction by Edwin Newman with Lucy Jarvis..

5.0 out of 5 stars The Inca Highlands, as I remember them too, August 26, 2001

I've seen quite a few videos of South America, but this is the one that in the present-day sequences most closely matches what I saw. Most of it is about the highlands. The Incan scenes "remembered" are less fanciful than in other videos and are certainly interesting. It's my favorite video memory of Peru. While it's only 60 minutes long, it lacks the manufactured and overly commercialized feel of so many videos about Peru and its people.
