Description

"Who were the Incas? Where did they come from? What caused their mighty empire to crumble?One Inca legend claims that the original Incas were flood survivors. The book Sociografia del Inkario states: "All the traditions of the people of the Andean altiplano speak of a flood that had submerged the whole earth." According to one Inca legend, all living beings perished. However, another version speaks of some individuals "who, by hiding in a hollow up on a very high mountain peak, were saved and repopulated the earth."-....The Golden Age of the Incas, by Flor Ayag...

This composition was made in Bryce by myself, except the Aztec calendar imported from Renderosity's free stuff objects, with many thanks to ModuleOne.

Thank you to all those who commented on my Bryce's 'Stranded In The Wilderness of Oberon'. Have a nice evening, night or day, depending on where you live on this planet!

Great work on this one Jean-Luc and you had me the moment you mentioned the legend of the Inca's. I love the way you gave life to their hiding place here, it looks fabulous.

La plateforme avec les symboles est un élément vraiment créatif. Cette citée juchée au toit du monde est pleine de mystère et de rêve. Excellentes textures et couleurs, les nuances de bleu sont magnifiques.

I love it when you post. This is gorgeous and I always learn something new in your gallery. Perfect title. I remember once visiting the Grand Canyon and when I came back to my motel room, I closed my eyes and felt like I was still there, feeling the altitude like an eagle soaring over the scene. This has that same effect on me--one of great height that transports me to another time and place. I love what you did with the colors and lighting. This is one of your best Bryce works, in my opinion. I am fond of ancient civilizations, and the Inca is a fascinating one. Thanks for sharing this.

Excellent plateau layering you have accomplished here, Jean-Luc. Addition of the temples and other objects is outstanding work. Always a pleasure viewing your skill with renders such as this.
