The producers of NBC's Emmy award-winning "The Mystery of The Sphinx" bring you another story...

In 1952, Dr. Daniel Ruzo, a Peruvian scholar, discovered stone statues carved into the living rock of Markawasi. This unusually flat plateau, at 12,500 feet has over 200 statues, although the neighboring peaks have none. Ruzo gives us his explanation who carved the statues and why. The makers survived a world-wide flood, he says, and they left these statues to warn us of a similar cataclysm that will soon befall us.

We follow a research team and view dozens of incredible statues. With the help of computer graphics, we compare some of the fantastic forms to familiar images from the past. Many statues look eerily similar to Egyptian pharaohs and animal deities. Did the makers of Markawasi have direct contact with Ancient Egypt?

Produced by BC Video Inc. The original music score by Fritz Heede illuminates this fascinating documentary, which was shot in Betacam, 16mm film and Mini DV. (59 minutes, 2009)
