According to the conquering Spanish, Garcilaso de la Vega's writings, and the the tower base now extant, the tower was next to the temple and fortress and not actually part of it. If I read iterry wrong, I stand corrected.Delhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982095508142923740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-53663405591071117102016-05-24T20:52:08.374-07:002016-05-24T20:52:08.374-07:00I took it, after a double read, that Priddis says ...I took it, after a double read, that Priddis says the entire Sacsahuaman fortress was the tower, but since there was an actual tower on the fortress that the Spanish tore down, that for sure would be the tower spoken of in the Book of Mormon.erichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279217537472159142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-35640756568957845312016-05-24T20:52:07.845-07:002016-05-24T20:52:07.845-07:00I took it, after a double read, that Priddis says ...I took it, after a double read, that Priddis says the entire Sacsahuaman fortress was the tower, but since there was an actual tower on the fortress that the Spanish tore down, that for sure would be the tower spoken of in the Book of Mormon.erichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279217537472159142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-54961018368631052572016-05-24T20:51:50.368-07:002016-05-24T20:51:50.368-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.erichardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12279217537472159142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-54026359456114114822016-05-24T10:14:10.501-07:002016-05-24T10:14:10.501-07:00The "however, the facts seem to suggest other...The "however, the facts seem to suggest otherwise" seems to state that this 60 ft tower was not the Noah's tower and your comment down here seems to state that this tower was next to the temple that had Noah's tower as part of it? I'm not sure if that was the source of iterry's question, but it seems a bit confusing to me.Michael Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315787162790624190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-12080873468898047112016-05-24T09:27:24.037-07:002016-05-24T09:27:24.037-07:00Not certain if I understand your comment since at ...Not certain if I understand your comment since at the end of comment #2 above the tower base is shown in the photo. After the final battle of the Inca rebellion of the 1570s, when the Inka jumped to his death from the tower it was torn down by the Spanish. This tower, first seen by the Spanish when they entered Cuzco, was described as made of stone, 60 feet high, round, with a roof and was situated next to the temple where Noah's tower was built. If I didn't make that clear, sorry. We've written about it many times in the past.Delhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982095508142923740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-90070419706565720212016-05-24T09:10:06.087-07:002016-05-24T09:10:06.087-07:00Del, I guess I don't see how you excluded the ...Del, I guess I don't see how you excluded the tower of Noah from the tower that the Spanish found when they arrived in Cuzco from your #2 comment. The tower seems to be a perfect match since Cuzco was the City of Nephi where Noah and the priests lived. Of course it's only a guess at this point but it looks like a match to me. We won't know for sure until someone finds the plaque that says: Tower of Noah est 160BC. Iraiterryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836783863542965577noreply@blogger.com
