Choquequirao

What the Show Claims

• ›Ancient Aliens presents Choquequirao as a recently discovered 'lost city' in Peru that upends the historical timeline of South America, suggesting civilization emerged earlier than previously believed and may have involved extraterrestrial assistance.

What Archaeology Says

Choquequirao is an Inca citadel built in the mid-15th century, rediscovered in 1909. Archaeological evidence dates it to the Inca period (circa 1450 CE), and it shows sophisticated Inca engineering consistent with known construction techniques of that civilization.
