Who ACTUALLY Built Machu Picchu

What really happened during the 400 "silent" years between the Old and New Testaments? From the rise of Alexander the Great and the mad king who tried to erase Judaism to the bloody Maccabean revolt, the first Hanukkah, the hidden secrets of Enoch and the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Rome’s brutal conquest of Jerusalem—we break down the chaotic history, lost scriptures, and political upheavals that paved the way for the coming of Jesus. Did God actually stop speaking, or was this the most violent, transformative era in biblical history?
