1. Oh fuck it.

2. Let's hope that area was well documented with arial photos.

It is a shame and why can't people protect their heritage from destructive business interests?

4. FUCK!

5. Somebody could commission Joe Nickell to reproduce them.

He's done it before. But that would deprive the flying saucer crowd from their delusions.

Seriously, this is utter bullshit. Destroying these artifacts for any reason is reprehensible... Utterly dispicible!

7. I imagine this is only some subset of them, but still very very sad.

That's an incredible bit of history to fuck up for some friggin' limestone.

8. This angers me.

9. These bring in big tourist dollars

This is going to be a blow to the Peruvian economy. What a disaster.
