Amazing image!

I want to know who lived at the top of the peak (center), and how did they get there?

Extreme, I've seen shots very similar. That is a very nice pano shot. If he had gone much farther to the right, it's possible to get the ruin plus the extreme switchback road leading up the mountain to the ruin. It is very impressive.

Great photo, zoom right into the guy with the floppy hat on the stairs and have a look at his feet.

Someone has lost their head.

I watched the video, it doesn't go into much technical detail about the shot though.

you can find the same people in different parts of the picture. You wouldn't expect them to stand still for 1 hour and 40 minutes. tremendous resolution.

A consequence of Inca ritual?
His legs are farther up the stairs.

Nikon that tall peak to the right housed the temple of the Sun the high priests and priestess of the Sun lived there. The stairs to get up there were in the drainage to the right.
