The Last Inca Rope Bridge, Q’eswachaka, Is Rebuilt Yearly

Every year, high in the Andes Mountains in Peru, a man builds a bridge. The bridge is strong enough to hold the weight of more than one hundred men. But it isn’t made of iron or steel. It’s made of grasses and fibers. It hangs 60 feet above a thundering river.

And the man is not a construction worker or a structural engineer—but he is the only person on earth who knows how to build this particular bridge. That man’s name is Victoriano Arizapana, and he is the heir to a tradition that is over 500 years old.

I don’t have time to read the article before my partner and I have movie time together. I tried to scan for the answer but might have missed it. Does the article say how the Inca initially traversed the valley with material for the bridge? I’m super interested in what hypotheses we’ve got. I’m sure it’ll sound pretty obvious when I find out, but I genuinely can’t solve this in the few minutes I’ve thought about it. All I’ve got is shooting an arrow with a light string.

they tie the rope to a drone and fly it over.

the drones were given to them by aliens that had a vested interest in helping humans out because they lost a bet with the bigger aliens of alpha ceti 3.

all this is true, my dad's uncles cousins brother heard it from a friend that used to live in Incaville.

they also had cures for autism that were the opposite of our current day vaccine for autism.
