Starting point is 00:00:01 Joe Rogan podcast, check it out. The Joe Rogan Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night, all day. Raoul. Yo, very nice to meet you, brother. It's so good to be you. I have enjoyed your content tremendously online. And I really got into a video this morning that I was watching
Starting point is 00:00:22 where you found this megalithic site that was undocumented in Peru. It's incredible that they still have these ancient sites that, for whatever, reason, it seems like the money that they get gets stolen, like the money that it's supposed to be allocated towards documenting these things and registering these things. People just say, fuck it, I'm going to pocket it. It happens a lot more than you think. It's just hard to believe, man. Some of the stuff that you document is very heartbreaking. like one of them was when you flew a drone over these ancient ruins and you showed the amount of places that have been looted. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:08 And it's just all of it. It's just pop. You see these holes. And when I first saw that, I'm like, what is he showing me? And then you're like, these are all spots where someone has dug in and looted. And most of it has been done in this area of Peru over the last 20 years. over the last 20 years. So from 2006 to 2026, more...
Starting point is 00:01:31 I would have... The biggest amount of looting happened... It's actually died down some, but the end of the 20... So 1980s to 2010s, I would say. That's what it really... Like, when it really took off. And you can tell from the trash that's left there.
Starting point is 00:01:49 Like, cigarettes that were only produced in the 80s or, you know, soda bottles that were only produced in the 90s. How nice of them to steal the... artifacts and leave trash. They've become landfills of human remains. This place you're talking about is, I mean, it's eight full kilometers of just, it looks like the moon. Every single location has been looted.
Starting point is 00:02:16 And I was like, I've got to go up there and see what this looks like. And so. Pull up to the microphone a little bit more. So looting, what are they at that point in talking? I mean, these are hundreds, thousands of years old, these sites. So what are they finding? Well, a lot of the mummies that I've, because I found mummies that have been torn apart, literally, like they're, the cotton that they're wrapped in, the textiles that they're wrapped in. I mean, it's just, they've been scavenged.
Starting point is 00:02:44 Are they looking for jewels? Or for some sort of metallurgy, like on the person themselves. The unfortunate thing is, I mean, all you'll see is you'll just see these bones littered across the landscape with brinket. broken pieces of pottery and... That was also disturbing, how much bones you see everywhere. So this is, you see a bone right there. These are all human bones that you just find scattered. That's all cotton.
Starting point is 00:03:10 And what we're about to see here is an actual mummy that's been torn apart. This is so sad that there's no protection. Nobody's going out there, man. Nobody, except for the looters. But I know very little about Peru other than... and, you know, obviously the Nascolines, the mummies, all these different things, the mystery of the place. Can you be showing that, please? Oh, it's over.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Oh, it's over? There's a couple burial drone shots. But it's just... You go to the top. How big is Peru? I don't even know geographically how large it is. I mean, Peru is huge. I mean, it takes up...
Starting point is 00:03:53 This is a different looted site. So this is all, this, all of this is in the... Paracas Nazca-Eka-Eka region. And these skulls are just sitting there? So the looters will oftentimes leave, I don't know, set them up in this fashion. There isn't a site I've gone to where I haven't seen something set up like this in the end. But so I pull out to show the scale of it. I mean, every little piece of white you see is some part of a human.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Wow. It's tragic, man. just so much history lost. Mm-hmm. And so does this stuff wind up in private collections? Do museums ever get it? Like, what happens to that stuff? I don't think museums get it at all.
Starting point is 00:04:48 It's private buyers. I actually met a, the term is Waukerro. It's a grave robber. I actually met one in Miraflores in Lima proper at one of the artisanales, where they're selling, you know, ancient goods. Well, some of them have real things that they go out and they loot. And I mean, this is one of the things I've been thinking about, like, for the future, like, what can be done about this?
Starting point is 00:05:16 Because the government, nobody from the government's going out there. And so these things end up in private collections, textiles, humans, pottery, things that you would see in museums. It's just nobody from that official administration is taking the trip to go out. there and preserve these things. It seems like just the ancient civilization of Peru is a massive mystery. It seems like there are a lot of uncovered stories in that area. Peru is a hot spot. And it doesn't seem like there's an incredible amount of research being done other than by
Starting point is 00:05:52 independent people. They, I mean, so, Joe, there's just so much in Peru. I mean, you throw a stone and you're finding an ancient archaeological. site. I mean, they're doing, whenever they do construction, they end up coming across structures or bones. I mean, this last expedition, I went all over the country and there is no lack of archaeological sites. So the money and I just, the money it would take to fund research on all these places is just extreme. It's extreme. I think there's a lot of history that goes missed because, because of what's currently happening, but a lot of times, a lot of the research is focused on what's
Starting point is 00:06:36 going to bring tourism. Right. Like Machu Picchu, things along those lines, which is also insane. But phenomenal. It's incredible. Like, that place is like, what, why? How? Why'd you build it up here?
Starting point is 00:06:49 Fucking nuts. A good friend of mine just actually went. Just recently took his family up to Machu Picchu and he's like, it doesn't even make any sense, man. Machu Picchu is what started. My family's from. And so I would grow up going there. And I have this old, back when you were filming with cameras with like a videotape.
Starting point is 00:07:09 There's footage of me finding seashells at Machu Picchu. When I was like 10 years old. Back then, you could go wherever you wanted. You didn't have to stay on a path. And so I don't know. And for people that don't know, Machu Picchu is like, what, 12,000 feet above sea level? Yeah. And so I'm a kid.
Starting point is 00:07:26 I mean, I saw the footage, the grainy footage. And I'm showing my dad on the camera. I'm like, Dad, Dad, look, I found seashells. I saw them in inside of, they were like glinting in the mud and the wall. And so I took them out. And that's what started this whole process for me. I was just like that. It blew my mind that there were seashells way up there.
Starting point is 00:07:45 So I studied about earth cataclysms and ancient history and when sea levels were different. And that just, that's, that is a moment that started kind of this whole path for me. How old were at the time? 10 or 12. Wow. Wow. How many times have been there? Well, growing up, we used to go every year and a half or so, and that's continued into my adulthood.
Starting point is 00:08:07 It's only been recently the past two years that I've been doing what I've been doing, which is like hardcore solo expeditions. When McDonald's partnered with Frank's Redhot, they said they could put that shit on everything. So that's exactly what McDonald's did. They put it on your McChrispy. They put it in your hot honey McNuggets dip. They even put it in the creamy garlic sauce on your McMurham. Muffin, the McDonald's Frank's Red Hot menu. They put that shit on everything.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Breakfast available until 11 a.m. At participating Canadian restaurants for a limited time. Franks Red Hot is a registered trademark of the Frenchest Food Company LLC. Welcome aboard Via Rail. Please sit and enjoy. Please sit and stretch. Steep. Flip.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Or that. And enjoy. Via Rail, love the way. And so, When you look at a site like Machapitou or, you know, any of these ancient sites, what is the timeline that conventional archaeologists attribute? I mean, they attribute it to the Inca, which, you know, 14, late 1400s, early 1500s, the Inca were conquered by the Spanish in 1530, I think. And so most of that megalithic architecture, they attribute to the Inca. However, there's evidence that there's a site, Jamie, if you can pull up, it's called Vignacke.
Starting point is 00:09:39 This place is, there's megalithic architecture with precision that goes down 50 feet under this mountain. Check this out. Whoa. This is crazy. So I believe they filled in the top in modern times, but they... And very soon there's going to be a guy who shows us a map. And so you see very different construction styles from the bottom to the top. But that's how it always is, right?
Starting point is 00:10:31 The most complex stuff. So that's showing that this architecture here, it goes down 50 feet into this mountain. And what do they think this was? So this complex is all attributed to the Wari. It's attributed to the culture that came right before the Inca, which doesn't make much sense to me because what you see on the surface, that's Worry construction. Which is small stones. Right. And what are they held together with?
Starting point is 00:11:04 Mud mortar, mud as mortar. And but then so this site has only been four percent excavated. 4%. It's underneath all of it is that type of architecture, which is crazy. So you have mud and mortar with very small stones, and then
Starting point is 00:11:25 underneath it you have precision cut megalithic stones. And how big are these stones and where are they supposedly coming from? That, so here's a funny story. So this place, if you look, you can find it on
Starting point is 00:11:40 Google Maps. You know, they call it the Complejo de Worry, so the Worry complex. But if you go back to the Spanish Chronicles, Pedro Seizza de Leon when he was in Tijuana, so Tijuana, where Puma Punku is in Bolivia, when they ask the natives, you know, who built this, they say, we don't know, it was built before us from the people from the lake. The same people who built Vignacque. That's what the natives said.
Starting point is 00:12:07 That place Vignacque is 800,000 kilometers from. from Tijuana. So, and it's the same construction. So it makes sense kind of what they're saying. The people who built Tijuana also built this place. But before they knew that they didn't witness it, it was just there when they got there. Is what the locals said.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Well, that's a lot of stuff, right? That's part of the weirdness of South America. Yeah. And, you know, even Mexico, right? Yeah. That's the weirdness of the Aztec structures. I didn't know that until pretty recently that the Aztecs labeled like Tinochetlan the place where the gods were born. I didn't know that.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Yeah. I don't know that. They don't attribute that to themselves. They found it when they cleared the area. I mean, you think about it, I've still to this day, you know, I was up in Lake Titicaca. and, I mean, there's structures all over the place, but you're like, where were these people living? And because there's no remnants of cities or towns. And the reason is, is because in modern times, people have recommissioned the blocks
Starting point is 00:13:21 and started and use them for their farms and their homes and things like that. You have a good location, a place of reverence, a place, you're going to build the next culture is going to build on it. And I think that's happened a lot in a lot of places. Yeah. Well, everywhere, right? I mean, that's Lebanon, too. That's Balbeck. It seems to be the case that those immense stones where the Romans built on top of them.
Starting point is 00:13:47 The Roman documentation is pretty precise. They documented everything. They never talked about these enormous thousand ton stones that are seven meters up in the air. We're just going to put them in the base of our structure here. They didn't even talk about them. They talked about these beautiful structures that are on top of that are clearly Roman. But the stuff underneath it just defies logic. And some of the stones that were never moved and put into place that were cut and quarried but just never moved.
Starting point is 00:14:19 1600 tons? Like, how? And things you can't replicate, you know, nowadays. That's what's crazy. Like with modern machinery, we can't do it. I mean, it's, I've always, when I started this path, you know, You know, I was, you know, Fingoprints of the Gods was one of the first books I picked up. Me too.
Starting point is 00:14:43 My dad had it in his library. And, and, and, and that just, that set me off on a, on a course. And, uh, the, the inability to be able to, to, I don't know, I don't, I don't, I don't buy the mainstream. Uh, it's, it feels a little bit lazy. The, the, the, the response is that, that the mainstream kind of gives to some of this stuff, um, as opposed you're just saying, I don't know. It's purposely ignorant. It's more than lazy because if it was just lazy, I mean, they've been confronted by all this other alternative archaeology evidence and all these other people that have like explored these things and shown.
Starting point is 00:15:29 And there was always the conventional wisdom that there was no society back then that was capable of doing this. So they had to attribute it to more recent societies. Until Gobeckle-Tepin. Yeah. And then you're like, okay, you guys need to shut the fuck up. I mean, there's a power in admitting like you're, if we're looking for the truth here, then it's like, okay, we got this evidence that disrupts this that we thought before. All right, just say that. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:55 You know what I mean? They just say it. It's fascinating if they can't, you know, because they are like every other form of academia. They are just like, I mean, you might as well be talking to a gender studies teacher. just like they don't want to look at reality. They just want their narrative and they want to be the gatekeepers of information and then they just want to push that narrative forward. And they're so mean.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Dude, I only started recently being on X within the past year and I'm just like the catiness of it all, man. Well, it just exposes them. It exposes their personality. And they're just not the type of people that I want to talk to about anything. Yeah. Especially not, you're not the gay people. If you're a 41-year-old person, you're not the gatekeeper of ancient history.
Starting point is 00:16:43 You can't be. There's too much. There's too much all over the world. It doesn't make sense. None of it makes sense. And that's, I think, why they're so terrified of people like Felipe Biondi and the scans. Yeah. Because if he's right, and it appears he is, over 200 different independent scans.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Yeah. And they all say the exact same thing. If he's right, you guys are fine. because you're going to eventually have to say we're wrong. You have a moment here where you can choose which direction to go. Pretty soon that moment's going to be lost. But it's like this is what the evidence is presented. And like you said, verified over 200 different studies.
Starting point is 00:17:28 It's like, all right, we might be wrong. Right. Meanwhile, they don't want to do that. They don't want to do that. They're still digging their heels in. And then they're just discrediting themselves, which is fascinating. It's really interesting. It's really interesting to watch these assholes just like flounder.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Well, and it makes me think, you know, what's the reason behind it? Is it pride? Is it ego? Is it because you wrote some books on it that you need to keep selling? Is it because it's in textbooks that universities use? I mean, there's a lot of layers to it. It's all the above. But you can tell just by the way they communicate online, a lot of it is ego.
Starting point is 00:18:04 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of it is ego and just really bad personalities. You know, these people that are accustomed to never being questioned, accustomed to being in the hierarchy of academia where, you know, you have these tenured professors and then they have the people that are coming up under them and they all follow the same sort of rigid structure. And so any heterodox thinkers, anybody who comes in from outside the box, they just get shit all over. You know, there's no open-mindedness. I don't know if this is like. a parable or something, but, you know, I don't know, some story where there's, there's a truck
Starting point is 00:18:38 going into a tunnel and it gets stuck and it's backing up traffic and nobody can get through. Everybody's trying to figure out what the hell how to get this truck through. And just, you know, some, some farmer walks up and he's just like, take the air out the tires. And, and problem solved. And so the inability to let other people come in with, with thoughts and opinions, it just, it really, I think, it's a real detriment to the study of these things. Because in my approach to some of the places I've gone, I think it is that, yes, we have research.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Yes, there is a level of understanding at a lot of these places what happened. But it's also that going into with a fresh set of eyes, you know, sometimes, I mean, I get so locked in my work, sometimes I can't see outside of it. You know, sometimes it takes another party to come in. And all of a sudden, your mind is blown. in a completely different direction.
Starting point is 00:19:36 I don't see that level of openness to things on the side of a lot of the mainstream academia when it comes to this stuff.

Well, people have to really understand that the whole concept of being streamed academia is only a few hundred years old. And that's what's weird. It's like, so these very recent structures, these very recent establishments, want to be the gatekeepers of information of a vast swath of the world. I mean, it's not possible.
Starting point is 00:21:34 It's not possible that you know everything. It's not. I was thinking about that. You know a lot. They know a lot about things they have discovered. They do. They know a lot about Mesopotamia. They know a lot about Iraq.
Starting point is 00:21:47 All the amazing stuff that they find. Some stuff they're very accurately dated. But it doesn't explain things that you can't explain. And they want to try to just fit it into the... Yeah. That's what's goofy. Yeah. That's, I mean, look, if the puzzle be...
Starting point is 00:22:04 doesn't fit, stop trying to force it. Well, it's also, it's like more gigantic, spectacular pieces. And you're like, well, those aren't important. I mean, Ben Van Kirkwick, with this most recent discoveries where they're using the ground penetrating radar to find the labyrinths and this 40-meter long metallic object that's inside of an atrium down there. Like, what is that thing? Yeah, I have my, I hope it's something.
Starting point is 00:22:31 If they go looking and I hope they do, and this is the other thing, it's like, let's start putting money towards this, like now, you know what I mean? Like, figure this out. I don't know why I thought of this. I think it might be a meteorite if it's some sort of, like, metallic thing. 40 meter long meter. I know, I know. That's a fucking civilization ender. But imagine the next civilization coming across that thing.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Right. Hearing the stories. It's like, oh, shit, let's worship this. They're like, let's revere it somehow and put it in an atrium. Well, like Mecca. It's just my thought. Yeah, exactly, exactly. Like, this one's 40 meters.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Yeah, there's a meteorite at Mecca that they all go to touch. Yeah. Which is kind of crazy, right? But completely makes sense, right? Something comes from the sky and lands, because it chaos, and then you worship it. I mean, that also wasn't one of like King Tut's knives was made out of a meteor? you're right or something like that.
Starting point is 00:23:30 So they were finding these things. 40 meter one is pretty big, though. I know, but also tick-tac shaped. That's the other thing. I'm like, so when it comes, I'm just like, let's go, let's go. Well, you know that's part of the Bob Lazar lore. I remember. Bob Lazar said that when he was told that at least one of these things came from an
Starting point is 00:23:53 archaeological dig. Like, what? What do you mean? He's like, that's what he mean? He's like, that's what they were telling me. I don't know. But they told me that one of them was from an archaeological dig. So these things are really old.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Dude, and his accuracy was something with the Element 118. 115, something like that. From 1989, when Element 115 wasn't even discovered until the 2000s. I mean, that's why when he's, I forget who I was talking to outside, but we were talking about, I think it was talking to Jamie about that, about Bob Lazar. talking about some of these things coming from an archaeological sites. Let's go find it. Right. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:36 Well, that's where it gets really weird. Where it gets really weird is these mummies. Oh, we're going to go to the mummies. We're going to go there, Jamie? Eric Burleson, a representative, talking about how he's asked the White House to give DoD the power to let them go see this stuff, including a buried UFO. reportedly an object that is not in this country that is so large it cannot be moved, that they've built an entire building around it. And I think that, I think either Greer or another individual has actually mentioned this site,
Starting point is 00:25:12 but I'm not going to mention it because it is a classified location. But there is a really apparent, there's reported a really large object. And that's one of the locations that I'm requesting to get to. It's going to evolve a lot to get to make that happen. But that may be the final destination. Shit like that makes me want to run for president. Because that's all I would care about. The economy would be in shambles.
Starting point is 00:25:36 I'd be like, show me the UFOs. Do you think they'd do it? Because I've heard that like the... No, they kill me. I mean, on that need-to-know basis where they're keeping stuff from presidents, you know. Kennedy got too close. I don't think that's why they killed Kennedy for. But I think there's a bunch of things.
Starting point is 00:25:53 No, there's a whole lot of layers. Yeah, but the UFO people love to think that it's UFOs is why they killed Kennedy. But they think everything's UFOs. But it definitely seems like I don't know about the evidence, you know, because it's just stories. And that's the problem is that a lot of this stuff, and this is how I feel when a lot of people come on the podcast and talk to me, you know, supposed whistleblowers. Some of them, I think, are legitimate. And some of them, I think, are disinformation specialists. I think they're designed to muddy up the water.
Starting point is 00:26:28 And this is what they're saying is designed to muddy up the water. And that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to make a lot of this stuff look silly and push certain narratives and just create confusion. And I think a lot of it is probably some black budget, weird science stuff that we have. But then it begs the question, where did you get that? Is that really like the Diana Pesolka work where she's talking about their? essentially these things are donations
Starting point is 00:26:59 and that we're supposed to like take these things and try to figure it out and then you look at some of the creation of some different inventions that happened very quickly after Roswell our civilization just I mean just been on a boom
Starting point is 00:27:15 ever since. Weird stuff like the fiber optic stuff and transistors the just the history of the creation of the transistor and the people that were involved in it it seems awful fucking fishy I mean I
Starting point is 00:27:31 I try to stick with what I evidence that I can make out tangibly and it just gets so murky like you said it just all of this gets so murky that I don't I don't know how the truth would
Starting point is 00:27:46 even land you know well the truth would have to land if there was an overall comprehensive effort by all of the world governments. And there would have to be some sort of unity in this and some sort of like a recognition that this is really important for the entire human population to understand our past.
Starting point is 00:28:10 And if this is nonsense, let's find out that it's nonsense. And if this is real, this changes everything. And when you look at, just look at the vastness of the cosmos, it's not outside of the realm of possibility. this stuff either came from somewhere else or was here because they were here. There was an advanced civilization here, whether it's our civilization or whatever the hell those mummies are. The tridactal mummies are weird.
Starting point is 00:28:41 That stuff's weird. We can talk about that because I did a deep dive with my friend Will and there is too much amok going on with these things for me. me to for me to objectively say that they are what people are claiming them to be there there's just there's too much wrong with this bit with the picture right well first of all a lot of them are fake yeah for sure oh yeah a lot of them people have seemingly created with a bunch of different animal bones and human bones and pieced them together but then there's the weird ones you know there's the weird ones that are mummified and they're in the fetal and they're in the fetal and
Starting point is 00:29:23 position and you see a structure that doesn't exist in the human body, but it's complete with tendons and ligaments and some of them have eggs inside of them? Joe, I'm telling you, man, look, I want to believe. Do you think it's bullshit? I think it is much closer to bullshit than it is. All of them? I think what we're dealing with here are real human beings from the past. They are ancient that have been put together.
Starting point is 00:29:53 Will from Incredible History has done some amazing work with some amazing specialists. I mean, people at the top of their field on this stuff. Looking at the x-rays and the diacom files and calling out cuts, calling out incisions that were made, calling out why things don't make sense. And for me, the reason I put out my last video on the NASCAR Mummies is because there's this whole other narrative, too, of where the money is who's making money off of these things. And I think that... Is there money being made off those little mummies? Please.
Starting point is 00:30:29 You got something? Yeah. So I remember... I forget who you were talking to. It might have been Jesse Michaels. But I remember you saying, you know, these are one of the greatest art projects if they were fake. Right. Well, if you just scroll to the right here, this is what the...
Starting point is 00:30:50 That's the goofy one. Yeah, but that's what the walkgerro is selling. He sent that to me personally, the guy selling these things. These goofy asses for people at home. You can't see it? There's a folder on there that has the pictures in the photos. These are the goofy ones. But what is the one that is the female that's in the...
Starting point is 00:31:10 Maria. Is that what they're called? Maria is one of them. I mean, so Will had on Dr. William Morrison and Dr. Proctor, Dr. Wilson. I mean, like, people in the top of their, in the top of their field analyzing these things. This is, this one looks fake as fuck. Yeah, everybody. You can get this for $15,000.
Starting point is 00:31:33 This comes directly from the walkieiro finding these things, by the way. Yeah. I did, like, a little undercover thing trying to see what I could lure out of him. See, this is not particularly compelling to me. But it's in the same. same, it's in the same class coming from the same place, supposedly, the same group of people are providing these things to the, yeah, this is in, this is in the Eco Museum. This is where they're housed.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Monsterot, is that what the, Monserrat, yeah. Monserrat. So these are, like, again, these are not that compelling to me. The small ones, no. The big ones, though, are, gosh, they keep coming out with new specimen. There's a new one, Antonio, who's a teenage boy, except for his feet. His feet have arthritis in them, which indicates that they put the foot bones of another specimen on this thing. Now, what these doctors have done, look, and here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I mean, I want it to be clear. I would love nothing more than Peru to be the hot spot of some new species. I don't think we're alone. I don't think we've identified every species. But also, I'm not putting my money on these things coming out as authentic. I think they have been used with authentic bones, which is why they're getting the dates. I think that... Dude, I did a deep dive on this stuff.
Starting point is 00:33:07 Please go. No, feel free. Tell me. Tell me what you found out. I initially wasn't going to make the video I did, but after spending days staying up doing this research, I couldn't not do it. And I found like I've even watched the whole Gaia series on this stuff. And I found myself like getting entranced by the like maybe, maybe. And then also watching the whole reason of putting this stuff out there's like, look, make your own decision.
Starting point is 00:33:35 But don't just take in the fantasy. Take in the other possibilities too. And just have all the information before you make your decision. Well, clearly we know some of them are fake. Clearly, clearly. you know, even people like me who want so desperately to believe. And it's also the corresponding artwork from the past, the three-toed, three-fingered artwork, which is weird. That is weird.
Starting point is 00:34:01 And I saw some of those geoglyphs down there in the middle of nowhere, you know, these. And so, and then the whole thing with, you know, the James Fox and the Brazil incident and that thing. Yeah. So the three-fingered thing is a weird thing in history. With these bones, I mean, I'm going to have to point you to some of the videos that these specialists have come out analyzing the files. But where the money is is exactly what's happening now. It's we have this possibility. We're going to make a show about it.
Starting point is 00:34:47 We're going to put out this new thing. We're going to, it goes deep, Joe. The same doctors, the same specialist that are verifying currently the NASCAR mummies have been on the same team for the past 20 years, verifying other species and specimens that they've alien hybrids and say the same. Literally, my whole video, I'm just like, this is what he said in 2007. This is what he said about this fake thing in 2012. This is what he said about the fake thing in 2017. And I put it back to back. So it's the same narrative.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Same people. It's the same people, the same narrative. And so you think that the construction has just gotten more sophisticated? 100%. 100%. They learn. What is that the major one? Maria and Montserrat.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Well, let's find Montserrat and see the Jesse Michael stuff because he went down there and looked at them. And they did scans on the bodies. With Amex Platinum, you have access to over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide. So your experience before takeoff is a taste of what's to come. That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply.

See life in Panorama because you're worth it. Shop L'Oreal-Paris Panorama Mascara on Amazon now. And then I have a link to, I think it's Dr. Morrison talking about Montserrat's feet, the x-rays of his feet. And pointing out, that's on the spreadsheet. Well, let's see that.
Starting point is 00:36:39 I'd like to see that. So do you think that these are recent creations of old bones? Is that what it is? That's what I think. Okay. And how do you think they did it? Is there any speculation? I think that...
Starting point is 00:36:53 So there are... So here's the... What's that, Jimmy? Just ask them a question. I cut them off. Oh. How do you think they did it? How do you think they did it?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Well, I think that they... I think they've gotten very good with taxidermy. Hmm. Right. Because we've seen that before where you take like an owl and you attach it to an iguana. In fact, in the research I did, there was this, dude, there was this demon fairy thing in 2017.
Starting point is 00:37:24 If you want to pull up my video. Let's start with this. Let's start with this. We'll get to the demon fairy thing soon. Talk to this shit is wild. So, meta- Okay. This is from a surface scan that was available.
Starting point is 00:37:38 And I went in and just kind of removed some of the fuzziness so that I could highlight the bones. And one of the things, again, that you notice is that the joints have a lot of space between them. These are not joints that are in contact, so they're dislocated. Now, the main part here, the central area where the kaneiforms are and the cuboid, those articulate with five metatarsals normally. The way these are lettered, A would go with the big toe, and E would go with the little toe. And again, just like in Maria, those are missing, but the joints are not lined up properly, the shapes of the joints don't go with the matching bone on the kaneiforms of the
Starting point is 00:38:23 cuboid. That's exactly what I was seeing in CT. So none of the articulations of the metotarsal junction really made any sense. And some of the bones didn't even meet an articular surface at all. So that jumped out to me immediately because then my first question goes to how would that even be a functional foot. So Montserrat, that's... So that's...
Starting point is 00:38:51 Why does Montserrat have tendons? Click on that. Keep it going a little bit. Where I thought I saw the razory section. Because people were talking about there's still being tendons and stuff intact. And I would agree that some of those metatarsals are, as Dr. Proctor pointed out, in the correct position,
Starting point is 00:39:10 but then some are just missing. So if you wanted to elevate the... illusion. One of the ways you could do that would be by performing a raised resection. And essentially, that's a function-conserving surgery where if you've had damage to your metacarpals or your metatarsals, they'll remove that metacarpal or metatarsal and kind of rearrange your fingers of your toes and the remaining metacarpals to keep your limb functioning. So her feet, Montserrat's feet, were just a little bit different where I think they might have used more complex procedure like that versus Maria where her feet just looked more like arts and crafts to my eye.
Starting point is 00:39:53 So and that's the, so Maria came up if these things are are hoaxes. There is also, if we're just going with that angle, there's a clear evolution of the work that goes into them behind the scenes. Like that one came out after the first one. The first one got called out on a whole bunch of things. All of a sudden of the next iteration doesn't have the same issues. Oh, right. They're correcting.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Yeah. And so, and that's actually, I forget, there was an archaeologist on X. He said that's very common in the world of fake antiquities. Like, they learn. Once they get called out on something, they'll figure out how to make the pottery better or something like that. Is there a lot of money in this stuff? Yeah. I mean, apparently.
Starting point is 00:40:38 Where's the money coming? from how does it for me it's not even in in the it's not in the sale the most money coming from this is not in the sale of these things it's in the shows that come from it it's in the series it's in the subscriptions to get to the next season where they're going to tell finally reveal the truth about there's a lot of money being made in the background with and and that's part of the deep dive i went on like following the money so who do you think is making them do you have a theory I believe that there's actually It was in my video and one of Will's videos
Starting point is 00:41:18 There was a grave robber, a whistleblower, a grave robber Who was part of this team And he shares how He was getting stuff for Mario, like the main guy There's got to be a team of specialists working on this stuff And I mean money went into making these things Because money's going to come from it I mean, that seems like a lot of money, though.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Yeah. But you would think that that would kind of fall apart. I would. It is falling apart. But it is under scans. But I would say, like, someone would rat somebody out. These are inscrrupulous people. So that's part of the reason I also decided to make this video.
Starting point is 00:42:03 And a lot of the pushback on this stuff is like, oh, you don't trust, you know, Latin American doctors or anything. No, it's not that. It's Latin American doctors from Peru and journalists from, they're afraid to talk about this stuff because things can get violent down there surrounding this topic. Article from 2012 about a mummy being stolen and it goes on to talk about there's a, I said right the bottom. The ICA Mafia. Yeah, there's a mafia.
Starting point is 00:42:37 The ICA Mafia. And in fact, the guy Mario who... There you go. Officials I've warned about the existence of a mafia dedicated to the trade with links throughout Southern America and Europe. And at the time, it was $18 million a year and stolen archaeological artifacts peru estimated was being taken out of the country. So this is all going to like wealthy people in other countries that want to have these artifacts in their homes. Yeah. And so that someone...
Starting point is 00:43:02 I've seen the text messages with some of the American buyers. Really? Yeah. So these guys are just like, come on in the money. Den show you a mummy. What I'm talking about specifically was tapestries, and it was actually the guy I met in the artisanales in Miraflores. And he showed me video. He was very open with me.
Starting point is 00:43:24 He showed me videos of because the buyers want to see provenance. The buyers want to see them pulling the artifacts out of the ground. Right. So they just bury them and then they just. Well, no, I mean. that sells this stuff. Mummy crowd funder leaves archaeologist fuming. So there's a guy in London that's selling this stuff?
Starting point is 00:43:44 So Victor Wind Museum in London. Huh. Cabinet dedicated to dead people. And they were trying to get a mummy from Peru. Wow. So it's... What do you think is going on with the skulls? The elongated skulls?
Starting point is 00:44:00 If you... Jamie, I have a... I think that... that's one I found you found that one oh yeah that's one of three I've come across now there supposedly there's a difference
Starting point is 00:44:17 in the way the the skull you know when you're a child what does it call the sadges the sutures yeah yeah I found some without the every elongated skull that I've the three I've come across all had the sagittal all had that
Starting point is 00:44:34 suture like a normal human like a normal human so these would be from pressing boards on the child's head when they're in development. Yeah. Binding. Yeah. But then the question is, why would you do that? Right.
Starting point is 00:44:45 And I mean, I err on the side of you don't just come up with that. You're trying to imitate something. Right. You know, and so that's, and then you see it in Egypt and the hieroglyphos and stuff. So I do think like there is, you know, there's, we've labeled things other species with just a bone for. fragment. I'm like there's deserts of these things. And I think that if the right study went to them, you might have a separate species if you put the money towards studying this stuff, because it's all out there, man.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Right. Like a separate branch of the human species? Possibly, yeah. Right, which makes sense. I mean, they're finding separate branches all the time. All the time. The Denisovans, you know, all these different ones that they've found within the last 20 years. and there could be something with a larger head and the elongated head. And that's the, I don't know enough about osteo, whatever,
Starting point is 00:45:46 to go in depth about it, but it, I mean, either you had whole cultures just doing this or there's too many of them for it to have just been kind of some elitist practice, I think. And a bizarre practice at that. Like, why would you want to do that to your kids' head? Yeah. When clearly it's probably not been done to you.
Starting point is 00:46:08 your head, at least the first people. Like, what were you trying to imitate? There, I forget who told me this. There is some, I think Will told me this. There's some woman who did this practice on herself, like, actually trepinated her own head. Yeah, we're talking about that. Yeah. Well, we've talked about trepination when we had that woman on to herself.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Okay, well, wait, so you had her on? Yeah. Well, a woman who did, what was her name again? The psychedelic lady. She's, I believe she passed, didn't she? Recently. Really fascinating woman. Amanda Fielding.
Starting point is 00:46:50 She died recently, right? Yeah. So. But she did self-trepination. She did self-trepenned. But that's not elongation of the skull. No, but if there's an idea that what that trepination might have done, In the ancient days, they did it to release the evil spirits if somebody was afflicted with some sort of psychosis or something like that.
Starting point is 00:47:15 But, and I forget if it was Amanda, something happens with your brain waves when like the brain is exposed or something like there's some sort of, I don't know. What the fuck do you find that out without doing it? But if the skull is elongated, I don't know if it gives extra space to, uh, you. I forget who told me this. It changes the chemical structure of the brain that like kind of like a DMT experience. You're open to more things. Oh. And so an idea is that if you elongated it and had that extra space in the skull for the brain to have more oxygen, I guess, maybe it affects your brain chemistry.
Starting point is 00:48:05 I don't know. Just pure speculation. Period. But one of the things about some of these skulls they found is that the volume is larger than a human brain. So how would you do that just by stretching it out with boards? I mean, it would seem like you have the same volume. You're just changing the shape of it, right? Yeah, but there are some, like you said, that have more volume that would appear to have more volume.
Starting point is 00:48:29 And have there been no studies on these weird ones, the ones that don't have those sageal lines that correspond with, human beings? Because some of them don't, right? Fringe studies. That's the problem. That is the problem. What are we looking at? Are we looking at an animal head that they've kind of like shoved on to like human features and glued things together? Oh, with the with the mummies? I mean, some of these skulls. Well, I mean, some of like the one you just saw, I mean, they're there. They're just out in the desert. I don't know why funding hasn't been. And you've found them just sitting there. And you just leave them there? Yeah. I put a I mean, eventually one day I would like to, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:49:12 form some sort of relationship with the Ministry of Culture. Because the thing is nobody's going out there. And I specifically went to places this last expedition that I went the first year, just to see what happened a year later. And those places were looted even more. The things I had found and come across and documented like an elongated skull wasn't there anymore. So these things are being taken and sold. Makes you wonder how much of it was there in the past.
Starting point is 00:49:39 Dude. I mean, I don't, like that eight kilometers of looting, it was all bones and textile and pottery. I mean, just eight full kilometers. So it's an eight kilometer graveyard? Yeah. Yeah. When I'm looking up trepination, that's a weird one. This elongated skull is coming up.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Apparently this one is in Oklahoma, a museum of some kind. That's the one that looks like it's had surgery on it. There's some sort of a metal implant. And it's come up in that context. Like this one's coming up too, but what they're saying is that the metal implant is used after trepination's been done to sort of patch the bone. Sometimes that has been documented as happening.
Starting point is 00:50:26 What kind of metal are they using on your fucking head? Well, that's the weird thing too, because that metal has come up in the skull scans on like Montserrat. I don't know which one in particular had it, but they're saying it's got like metal that wasn't available, you know. What's that one in the lower left-hand corner? That one looks crazy. Oh, that's the chungos skull. What's the, okay, so that one looks different.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Yeah, that's... It says it's in paracas, but I mean, that's... Click on that? It's very close to where I found the one I showed you from my footage. Okay, that skull looks nuts. So that doesn't look like a human skull at all. No. That one is...
Starting point is 00:50:58 Like, look at the lines on that one. That's fucking crazy. Yeah. that doesn't seem like it has any of the normal lines that a human skull has. The museum, unfortunately, is closed now, so you can't go see it. I tried to. Well, where is it? It was in Parra.
Starting point is 00:51:15 The Ministry of Culture shut down that museum. Oh, the collection often exceptionally elongated skulls found in Paracas, particularly around the village of Chongos, near Pisco, dating to around 700 B.C.E. 200 CE, his skulls exhibit severe artificial cranial deformation, practice used by elite paracos culture members to signify status. Huh. That is the one we just saw in that museum is the largest one. But it's weirdly large. Can you find some more images of that one?
Starting point is 00:51:57 I was trying to find some other stuff that's not three years old or older. Oh, it's okay. We'll just see the images of it. It might be hard for that one since the museum. closed. Right, but there's images. Yeah. So that looks like it's a lot more volume than a human head. The one in the far left, just the one, yeah, either one, the one below it. Like that, just the image alone of that, how do you get a normal human head to be that large? Without some sort of, that looks like you stuffed a balloon into someone's eyeball and kept pumping it up, you know,
Starting point is 00:52:30 while they're a baby. Like, what the hell is that? That's so much bigger that. That's so much bigger than a normal human skull. And then you think if it, you know, with the skull binding practice, I mean, are you, is there going to be some form of mental difficulties with that human being now? Or, or expanded capacity. Or expanded? Yeah. Because this is like, so the cranial capacity is 25% more than a normal skull.
Starting point is 00:52:59 It weighs 50% or 60% more than a normal skull. Also, the eye sockets are low. larger and the jaw is larger and more compact. God, that looks like a different kind of human. So there's, there are, and when you go to these museums, there's all sorts of, there's, what's that one up there, the one to the right of your cursor? What the fuck is that? Is that real?
Starting point is 00:53:22 That's why I was, I didn't want to go here. Whoa. Bring up a bunch of fake shit too. That's why I was trying to. Is that fake? I haven't seen that one before. I don't mean, it's taking me to Facebook is already a big red flag. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:34 I know. Facebook is a hub of fake shit. It's the same picture. So a lot of them are probably AI generated. But that one that's 25% larger than a normal human skull and larger eyes. Look, the eye sockets are fucking huge. That's also weird. It's just like, that's the problem with all this looting that's been going on for so many years.
Starting point is 00:54:01 It's like there might have been some evidence of a. different kind of human that lived with these people. And I mean, imagine if we find out that that different kind of human was what populated that area. And they were the people that built Soxie Haman. Because Paracas isn't, Paracas is the highest concentration of the ones that have been found. But you find them up in the Kusko region too. There's, there's a video I have, I think Chisniri C-H-I-S-I-N
Starting point is 00:54:39 Can I ask you What is the conventional explanation For the larger capacity Of the skull And then the larger eyeballs The eye sockets I don't know that there is a conventional explanation other than
Starting point is 00:54:52 Seems like you would have to explain that Like if that's not something different Than homo sapient human being like you Or me What is that that seems that's a different thing, right? You would think. Right.
Starting point is 00:55:06 Like if you look at a Neanderthal skull and mine's pretty close to one. But if you look at a Neanderthal skull and a normal human skull, you can clearly see the Denisovans. You clearly see the difference. Homo Julian's. You see the difference. That's different, man. And some of this stuff in their jaws and with like the set of teeth,
Starting point is 00:55:27 there's differences. I mean, I haven't done a deep dive into it personally. but there are a multitude of differences that have been highlighted. And for people that are skeptical, one thing you have to recognize is that it's really hard to make a fossil. Fossils, I mean, most things that die and have died forever do not become fossils. They get consumed by the earth like a normal thing would. That's why you don't find. I mean, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Yeah, and I mean, if you're talking about going back 10,000 years, that's why you're not, you're not seeing much evidence of stuff. I mean, it's been so long. It's gone. These things are preserved because they're between at most, typically at most 2,000-ish years in that region old. They're preserved so well because of the climate there, which is, I mean, when you're going in these barrels, you still see the hair of people. It hasn't disintegrated. Like, it's there. God, it's so great.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Dude, I have some creepy photos for you, man. I don't know. You might want to put a disclaimer up before showing. People know on this show. You don't need a disclaimer. Here's a quick question. I found a video of a guy with an elongated skull. He's talking about these and showing it.
Starting point is 00:56:44 I'm just size of reference to his hand. Does the skull seem small? It does. Unless he's got some giant-ass basketball player. That's kind of the size of the one I showed you earlier. It was smaller than you would think. But a lot of the people, there back then were very small, right?
Starting point is 00:57:00 They didn't have access to a lot of protein. Like, I went to Chechnica, and one of the weirder things is how small the people are there. How small the Mayan people? I'm short already, and I was a giant compared to these people. It was really weird. It's typically the same. This episode is brought to you by Armra. Every week, there's some new wellness hack that people swear by, and after a while you start
Starting point is 00:57:25 thinking, why do we think we can just outsmart our bodies? That's why Armour Calostrum caught my attention. It's something the body already recognizes and has hundreds of these specialized nutrients for gut stuff, immunity, metabolism, et cetera. I first noticed it working around training, especially workout recovery. Most stuff falls off, but I am still taking this. If you want to try, Armra is offering my listeners 30% off plus two free gifts. Go to Armora. dot com slash rogan same same in peru until this when the spanish came and then the interbreeding then interbreeding yeah yeah but if you go to uh jamie if you just open up the photos remains folder this is this is the stuff you see i mean there's still
Starting point is 00:58:15 skin on some of these things like which is what whoa that's creepy yeah man and how old is that hand? Probably, I mean, at this burial site based on the artifacts I was seeing, it's Paracus or NASCA. Go back one, Jamie, please? Look at the cloth next to it, too. So what is that piece of cloth, you think? It's like it's braided in the bottom and then the... I didn't see a hole in the middle, so I don't think it was a, and it's too fancy for a sling, I think. So I'm not 100% sure. Unless it's a fancy sling. Like some people... It could be, yeah. It could be. Yeah. Bows and arrows, fancy guns. True, true.
Starting point is 00:58:58 Look at the hand, man. That's so great. And what you see to the right of it is like what kind of looks like burlap is, I mean, that's what the mummies were wrapped in. They were stuffed with cotton or put in the fetal position, wrapped with textile, then cotton, then more textile and ropes. And that's some of the cotton and wrapping that. The grave robbers had torn apart, trying to find gold and jewels and things like that. Yeah. And what's unfortunate is some of the most beautiful pottery there, too.
Starting point is 00:59:28 It's just completely destroyed. Wow. Whoa. Look at all those bones. You found this? Yeah. God, that's got to be creepy just seeing all those dead people's bones and rope. It affects you, man.
Starting point is 00:59:45 It definitely does. And what's the time period of this? This is 2,000 years. That picture actually isn't from NASCAR I have a video of this to show you This place There's just so much weirdness about Peru Just the NASCA lines alone
Starting point is 01:00:11 Like what were they doing Why were you making artwork you can only see from the sky? That's crazy Oh look at the hair That's nuts Oh Normal-sized skull though.
Starting point is 01:00:27 Actually, that one, I don't have the pictures in that folder, but I measured it. It's incredibly bulbous. It's much more bulbous than a normal skull. So you're just getting a side view of it? Yeah, and I put the tape
Starting point is 01:00:40 measure there next to it and that's crazy. You see the skin. Yeah, is it? The skin and the hair on the skull. Oh, God. That's creepy. It's why, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:56 I mean, that, you know, I thought that I'd gotten, this is another thing that's been set up. And you think the grave robbers do this? You know, there were some places where I found things set up like this with little candy, little modern candies. And what that is, is it's a tradition called pago letiera, paying the land. And so whoever left the candy, I don't think was a grave robber, was probably a little. And it was a way of giving back to the land, giving back to the ancestors. I started doing that with, you know, if I had a soda bottle or something, you pour out some Coca-Cola, pay the land for walking to it and documenting this stuff.
Starting point is 01:01:42 It was a nice little practice. But so the, I would say that like 2,000-ish years old, just to circle back. So some of these things, this is all on the surface. I don't go digging. That's not on me. But the Wakaeros do. And that's where they're finding these things intact. They're finding these things intact where you can put them into a CT scanner.
Starting point is 01:02:12 And it's going to show the whole insides. Has any, have any paleontologists done or archaeologist brought these? skulls and brought them for examination to try to find out if there's intact DNA that can be studied. They're supposed to be doing DNA tests on six of the specimens. But if you watch my video, you'll see each time they've done DNA tests on all the hoaxes that they've been a part of before, I imagine the results are going to be the same. Yeah, but I don't mean the hoaxes.
Starting point is 01:02:47 I mean the elongated skulls with large eye sockets, things along those lines. You know, there is a lot of the bureaucracy of how to go about doing anything with the Ministry of Culture in Peru is so disjointed. You can't get things done. You just can't. I know Brian Forster for decades was trying to get some sort of an official path to do DNA studies on these things. So, I mean, I'm hoping with the work that I'm doing with. pillars of the past that some of those boundaries can be broken where we can actually get permission to study these things because it's it's it's it's peruse patrimony you can't just go in
Starting point is 01:03:32 there and right you know that makes sense and so and and it costs money to do those things too and you have to do it in in the above board way and so it's kind of waiting for the okay from them well it seems like at the very least the most bizarre elongated skulls should be studied more closely. It shouldn't just be like, oh, it's in a museum. Look at the head. Big, huh? Weird I agree. Let's move on. Look at this bowl. It's broken, but, you know, pretty interesting. Let's move on. Like, no, what the fuck is going on with that? Put some money, figure it out, and... Because if it turns out that there was a totally different branch of the human species, it's huge. It's huge.
Starting point is 01:04:14 What's up? I don't know the accuracy. That's why I'm hesitant to even bring it up, But as you're asking about that, that video I pulled up is this guy said that they tested 12 or 18 skulls. That's Forster. And some of them came back as Native American. I'm reading the closed captioning, but some of them did not. Some of them came back from the Black Sea area. Yeah, the Caspian Sea Black Sea area from two to three thousand years ago. Which there have been skulls found out in those areas too.
Starting point is 01:04:43 Wow. I don't know. What's what I'm saying? Caspian seas as in the Caucasus Mountains. Whoa. So that's very intriguing. What I can also share with you is what I believe was the migrational pattern because these people, like some indigenous people of the Caspian area and Black Sea area,
Starting point is 01:05:09 were and are dark red-haired and also very light skin and green eyes. And this seems to correspond as well with the elongated skulls. They do have red hair. A lot of them. The ancestors of the Paracus decided to leave the area because they were being invaded by someone. And so they traveled south through Iraq and Iran to the Persian Gulf. And there they wound up sailing eastwards and eventually found their way to the coast of Peru. They're different...
Starting point is 01:05:43 That's making speculation. Yeah. So that's the thing. With theories like this, I'm like, let's put some effort to peer review this stuff. You know, like let's do the studies that are needed, have multiple universities test these things, come up with the standard set of results, and then I mean. So what is missing? Funding, interest. It's, it seems like this is in terms of like really doing a comprehensive study of archaeological sites, Peru seems like the least. Is that accurate? Halfway, I would say, only because, look, there's a part of me that also feels for the ministry of culture in a way where there's so many sites in Peru that to have eyes everywhere, to protect it, to have teams excavating things. I mean, isn't that alone kind of crazy how many sites there are in Peru? And the fact that also you have Sox-I-Waman, you have the Nazca lines, you have all this weirdness and this one part of the world.
Starting point is 01:06:55 Like, why? You have the oldest stone pyramids and the Americas pyramids that predate the pyramids of Giza by thousand years. What do they look like? If you look up Keral, they are, dude, I've done a whole thesis on this. I plan to write a, I don't think I'll ever get it peer reviewed, but I plan to write a paper about my theories on some of the stuff I found. So Coral was this area on the coast. It's C-A-R-A-L. And these pyramids had, Graham Hancock's been looking into this stuff too, this sunken circular plaza.
Starting point is 01:07:33 So they're just, this is a, whoa. This predates Giza. Well, what we think is the day of Giza. The great... Conventional. Conventional dating. Right. So, all right, let's see if I can condense this.
Starting point is 01:07:49 This site has, I don't know, eight of these pyramids. They're actually all throughout the valley and four valleys around it. The earliest one in a separate valley close to this dates back to 4,000 BCE. It has the remnants of a sunken circular... The main thing to keep note of is that sunken circular plaza, because it's a feature that... You not only see there in those four valleys, but you also see it 200 kilometers north of Peru. And what's the conventional explanation for these sunken circular plaza? Ritual spaces.
Starting point is 01:08:25 Some people say collecting water. Some people say the acoustics are different. Here's the interesting thing about it. This site was discovered in the 1940s. Wow, look at that artwork. Nobody did anything about it. The archaeologists, this is what happens in Peru. From the 1900, early 1900s to 1940s,
Starting point is 01:08:48 archaeologists and historians were going up and down the coast, finding stuff. I mean, just finding stuff. And they would write it down. They'd put it on the map. That's why the Ministry of Culture has it on their archaeological database. They'd pick through it what they could, put stuff in museums, and just move on. That site Keral predated any,
Starting point is 01:09:09 Any ceramics, I mean, this was a pre-ceramic culture, so there were no artifacts to find. So they just, they just moved on. It wasn't until Dr. Ruth Shady in, like, the 80s and 90s, actually put research in and figured out, hey, this is older than everything else we found. Because they just overlooked it. There were no artifacts. They were just like, we're going to move on. When you say no artifacts, like, that seems weird to me because, like, why would you make these immense structures and, not have a bowl to put rice in, right?
Starting point is 01:09:42 They, a lot of animal skins and, and the weaving. So these cultures, what they found is, so that's a little further inland. They had a sister site on the coast. And so what they would do, the only agriculture they would grow was cotton. That cotton, they would trade with the people on the coast so they could make nets and fish with it. The fish they would bring back, they would give back to those of people who made the cotton for them. So it was this weird, you know, interplay.
Starting point is 01:10:16 The other unique thing about this time period is there was no evidence of warfare for a thousand years. Nobody was fighting each other. It was very just everybody, no weapons, no anything like that. No weapons? No weapons for a thousand years. That seems insane. Is that just no evidence of weapons? That's currently no evidence of weapons.
Starting point is 01:10:36 Right, but maybe someone stole the weapons. That's possible. I mean, you're talking about a place that's been looted ad nauseum, right? Everyone needs help with something.

Starting point is 01:11:36 So whatever you think is going to happen in the future, you can invest in it at WealthSimple. Start now at WealthSimple.com. That's true. I mean, they put in a lot of work, though, excavate, especially that site, Corral. So you feel like somewhere they would find some sort of an axe head? They found the only artifacts of major note are some of those carvings that we saw, and then bone flutes with carvings on them. and the nets, the fishing nets.
Starting point is 01:12:10 And my whole theory is this was a pocket. It's called the Norte Chico culture. It's a little pocket of these four valleys. And I went all over them documenting these pyramids. They don't look like pyramids anymore. They look like mounds. They're so old. But there's another place, 200 kilometers north in the Casma Valley.
Starting point is 01:12:33 and what they have found is underneath the structures that are currently exposed, they found deeper layers of temples with that sunken plaza in this whole other location. And those are dating to the same time. So I firmly believe that what we, what archaeologists currently say is the oldest culture, I believe it went the whole coast of Peru. Wow. I mean, like, this was a cradle of civilization. I mean, hands down.
Starting point is 01:13:04 Cratal civilization 6,000 years ago. Six thousand years ago. So which is right around the time, we think the creative civilization happened in Sumer. Wow. And so the hard thing about it is like you'll have some carvings in Adobe that's been preserved in some of these places. So there's some sort of iconography.
Starting point is 01:13:26 But there's no writing like the Sumerian. The whole thing about Peru is like there was no writing system that we know of. There is a theory, and I believe this, I believe the kippos, the rope strings with knots. Yeah. I believe that was a language. But the Spanish burnt as soon as the Spanish came over,
Starting point is 01:13:48 they burned as many as those things as they could find, and they killed the people who could read them. So we won't ever know. Oh, God, Spaniards. How dare you? But there's like, there's evidence that they would, they took some of the Incas to the Spanish core, And so there's an Inca in the Spanish court in front of the queen or king reading off of these kippos, reading stories, telling the court.
Starting point is 01:14:12 And from knots on strengths. From knots on strengths. Yeah. And that understanding of that stuff is lost. It's lost. Currently, I think for the last few years, there's been some studies being done in Harvard trying to use AI to figure out what these may. I mean. How many of these are left over?
Starting point is 01:14:30 Can we see some images of them? I think 500 to a thousand. I mean, that's it. I mean, the Spanish went on a mission to burn all these things. Because they were trying to convert them to Spanish and get them to speak the language and become Catholic. Pretty much. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:51 Yeah. And so much history is lost because of it. Yeah. So it's... But what's interesting is at that oldest place, Corral, they found a Kipu. They found one of these knotted strings. And it wasn't a fishing net.
Starting point is 01:15:08 It was what looked to be a Kipu. So if you have that tradition going back 6,000 years, I mean, that's, there's a lot of... This picture is from 1994. This is what it looked like then. It doesn't look like anything. See that on the right? Those pits? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:26 That's looting pits. And now, wow. That's what it looks like from above here. I was looking at a map. Oh, so they had to dig it up. This is the map from above. Why is ancient history so damn fascinating? If you go on my spreadsheet, there's a place called Ere de...
Starting point is 01:15:50 What is it? I'm looking at my notes here. Sunkin Plaza Ere de Pando. It's a link to my YouTube. So this, what we're about to see is right across the valley from Corral. So all throughout that valley are these sites. from that Norte Chico culture. And I'm like right there on top of this pyramid
Starting point is 01:16:10 and just the drone footage is epic, man. Wow. So I went on a mission looking for these places. That's it. The thing about this that is so compelling but also so unsatisfying is that a lot of these stories you're never going to get the full answer.
Starting point is 01:16:33 No. You're never going to get the full history. It's just the mystery will never be satisfied. You're always going to be hungry, you know, which is, is that for a person like yourself that studies these places and is dedicated so much time to it, is that in any way frustrating or does it add to the appeal? Both. Well, I got a 6,000-year-old site. There's no one there with you at all, it looks like? No.
Starting point is 01:17:02 No one can stop you from taking a stay. I'm taking it over. Whoa, look at that. No, I mean, if you got caught, with a drone. Yeah, this is just me. I actually spoke to, there was an archaeologist
Starting point is 01:17:17 who told me to go to that place, and so I went, and I just, I was the only one there. So this, my whole thing was, I identified most of these places through Google Earth first. Like, they're not labeled. These places aren't labeled at all.
Starting point is 01:17:36 That's crazy. So these aren't documented places? No, this is. This one place right here is? It's not on Google Earth, though. It's not on Google Maps. You won't see any marker of it. But I was able to do some digging because of the guy who took me through the site.
Starting point is 01:17:52 I meet this random guy, Luis. Luis is amazing. He's a farmer right here. I freaked him out. He thought I was coming to rob him because he gets robbed off and apparently. Oh, boy. But he walked me through the site. And he, this one.
Starting point is 01:18:07 Okay, if you pause it, that right there on the bottom right is another one of those temples with the sunken plaza, except that one has monoliths. Oh, it looks like Stonehenge. Exactly. And nobody's done a study on astro, I don't know that stuff. But I can almost guarantee that there is some sort of astronomical alignment. So what happened was archaeologists did come back, did come here in the 90s, I think. And it didn't look like corral. They weren't going to be able to restore it.
Starting point is 01:18:42 So they just kept it as a, you know, to find dating on these things. And it's from the same culture. It's just a couple valleys over. Hmm. Do you have any footage of the monoliths? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It'll come up if you fast forward through it.
Starting point is 01:19:01 It's going to be back closer to where, yeah, we walk up to it. There you go. Oh, interesting. So some sort of a stone circle of modelists. I put it through AI. They're fairly small modelists, though, right? I mean, some of them have been buried and removed. Oh.
Starting point is 01:19:28 So someone's got them in their fucking house somewhere. Some of them, yeah. Ugh. How much of that is a problem with archaeology? I know that that was a giant issue with Egyptian artifacts. A lot of, like, wealthy people in other countries would just get it important. to their den and have a big fancy party. It still happens.
Starting point is 01:19:50 I will have to say that the... And I mean, I've seen it with my own eyes, looting stuff. I've never come across, like, somebody in the field doing that, though. That would be fucking terrifying, right? It would be freaky, yeah. Because they'll kill you. Dude, you're out in the middle of nowhere. And if they get caught, they're in deep shit, so they would want to get rid of you.
Starting point is 01:20:09 And, I mean, what I... I know for a fact, the way some of these guys... out of the country is some of these walkeros have people on the inside who write them certificates and things like that that say it's an authentic piece that has been owned by the family for this long so they can get it out of the country to whoever they're selling it to. That's how it works. What's a bigger problem though recently after talking to several archaeologists and witnessing it myself is agriculture.
Starting point is 01:20:41 Agriculture. They actually went to a couple sites that, I found this by mistake, looking on Google Earth. So I would find a site and I would like roll the satellite date back because sometimes different seasons give you better imagery. I'm like, holy hell. What exists now is a quarter of what existed 10 years ago. And now all you see is like plantations planted. I mean, they have literally paved over the archaeological site. to plan.
Starting point is 01:21:13 Dude, and that is, it's become one of the bigger missions of the channel and eventuality because, dude, you don't know, this site could have aligned with that site, could have aligned with you, you have no idea, and there's no documentation of it. There's no documentation, because nobody's going out there. These places are far away, you know, but here's another peculiar thing, this last expedition, so I found one of these sites, and I'm on camera, and I'm ready to go in, like, guns ablazing like how dare you do this how dare you erase his and I get there and I mean it's crumbled stones crumbled walls
Starting point is 01:21:50 and it's just this woman on her farm and so I start talking to her this wasn't corporate this woman has in fact Brit did in fact write to the ministry of culture to say hey I'm expanding my farm then and get back to her so she did it she you know paved over or created plots on half the archaeological site. So it becomes a, I don't know what the right solution is, because I feel for this woman. She's actually, she's not, this isn't corporate.
Starting point is 01:22:27 She's just surviving. She's just surviving. The corporate stuff, like, pisses me off and I'll go hard on them. And I do in some of my videos. But she, and she tried to do the right thing by reaching out to the Ministry of Culture. But what she's supposed to do, wait 10 years to get a response, you know, And so, and then I don't know how you empower these people, because from where I said is at least if you could document it, then you'd have a record of it. You know, that's what I'm trying to do when I go out there, create 3D models and put pins on a map or something like that, you know.
Starting point is 01:23:01 So it's a tricky situation to try to figure out. What's the most compelling site in Peru for you? I wanted to show you this. If you look in my video footage, Puru L-L-E-N Pyramids, P-U-R-U-L-N. This site, I think it is much more deserving of future study. It's a site that has 16 platform pyramids. Wow. And what does this site date to?
Starting point is 01:23:34 So when I do this, half my role here is like I'll go out and find these places. and then on the back end, when I make these videos, I go hard on the research. Like, I spend too much. Pyramids, Puru, Lin. That's just so you can have a sense of scale. Thank God for drones, huh? 100%.
Starting point is 01:24:01 Okay, so that's a platform. So that is the remains? That's, dude, and so right back, if you look back on the horizon, that's the coast. So this is right on the ocean, which means, This has been inundated for millennia by tsunamis and... It looks like it.
Starting point is 01:24:25 It really does, right? Yeah, it looks like it's completely washed over. Look at how the sand is formed. And it's so... I kept that in there. That's the wind. The wind is so... I messed up my first drone flying at here.
Starting point is 01:24:39 But check this out. I keep this in so you could just... There's another one. Oh. It gets better, man. That seems like a riverbed. It completely seems like water's washed right over this whole area. I bet if you look at it from far above, it's even more evident, right?
Starting point is 01:25:00 Yeah. Look at that. Wow. And they're all the same, they all have the same shape. And what's the conventional explanation for this place? There was one study done on this, and it was a brief survey in 1970. That's it? Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Starting point is 01:25:23 However, the archaeologists who did that survey, there's another one there. The archaeologist who did this survey has been quoted in the past 30 years saying he always wanted to come back here and do more research. He just never did. It's not an easy place to get to. But what they dated it at is even in that report that 1970s survey, he's saying 1800 B.E.C.E. But likely, look at that. Here's something unique. If you pause it real quick.
Starting point is 01:26:00 All right. So I looked on Google Earth, and those toward the top center, you see those two block-looking things. All right. So I thought they were megalithic. They're not all of these. All of these pyramids are carved out of the bedrock. Wow. Are carved out of the bedrock.
Starting point is 01:26:18 And the only place that there were looting pits are behind those two stones at the top. In that little alcove of the mountains, that was the only place. So I went there and there's bones there. So that's where people were buried. And I'm like, why are they burying people here? And I stand right in the middle. And it's facing 89 degree, almost perfect east-west, that little gap. So like that's where they were burying their elite people.
Starting point is 01:26:46 So where the sun would rise in the summer solstice? Yeah. Now, how old is this site supposed to be? So they said in that report he says 1800. They found one piece of pottery that's documented. They found one. This is from the 1970 study. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:03 And so they're saying 1800 BCE that's right around when pottery started. But in that report, he says it's likely older as well. He thinks it's older. It needs more study. That was it. That was the only thing that was put out there. I mean, this is 16 pyramids here. And if you look in my drone footage, you'll see.
Starting point is 01:27:26 It looks like there's another thing here, another thing there. So it's in the neighborhood of 4,000 years old, but possibly older. Correct. And I think it is, I would stake everything on it being found to be much older. Pre-ceramic, pre-pottery. The pre-seramic thing is nuts. All right. So, like, here's an thing.
Starting point is 01:27:47 What are they using for utensils? What are they using for plates? Like, what are they using to put their food on? and then if it is pre-ceramic, what kind of tools do they have? And how are they carving? How are they building these pyramids? This out of the bedrock.
Starting point is 01:28:02 I mean, imagine the amount of effort it would take for a human being banging a rock against another rock to try to do that and then to make it flat. Are these things level? Have they... I mean, this is the only modern... Most of my footage is the only modern media. Wow.
Starting point is 01:28:23 In existence of some of these sites. That's crazy. It's just you? Of that site. Imagine if you didn't exist. Imagine if you weren't exposed to that as a 10-year-old? Yeah. I mean, that's...
Starting point is 01:28:37 This is just going to sit there for like another thousand years where somebody else figures it out? Yep. Or it gets paved over. God. That's why I'm doing it, man. God, it's so weird. But how weird is that? How weird is it's just you?
Starting point is 01:28:52 Raoul. What kind of weight on your shoulders is there that this one fascinating sight? You're the only guy that's got video of this, modern video? That's crazy. Thanks for having me on. You're getting kind of choked up about it. Yeah, man. I mean, it's a lot of work, you know, and it's just something in me that I've...
Starting point is 01:29:21 Well, it's obviously very... compelling to everyone that really pays attention to is this the that's when you look on the the satellite oh and again this is the thing this is not like they put some rocks in place they carved these things out of the bedrock and they're fucking huge that's what's so crazy about it i just i had to i mean getting there was like what are we looking at man like that's the thing like What are we looking at? And why in Peru? And what happened to this area where they had so much, so much sophisticated, complex construction that was absolutely abandoned and there's almost nothing left?
Starting point is 01:30:07 So they over the course of history, what they've found is that especially people like to build on the coast. And there's just up and down the coast of Peru. There's so much. Sure. but then a major massive El Nino would happen and that just floods everything and so people are like, well, we got to go up into the mountains. So they start going further into the valleys. Because Peru is so unique.
Starting point is 01:30:35 You have the coast and then the Andes just start. You know, they just start going up until you get to, you know, the, before you start getting into the Amazon, you got to cross the whole Andes. And so for several hundred years, they would live further up the valley. And then they would come back and repopulate on the coast and build on top of the sites that used to be there. And then it would happen again. And they would go back. And so there's this whole cycle of – and there's some places where you will find that direct – it's very hard to find megalithic stuff, though, like the stuff you're finding in Kusko, for example, on the coast.
Starting point is 01:31:16 You don't really find that type of architecture on the coast. You didn't have that building material. You didn't have stones like that. And so it's my belief that some of these places existed further back than we think. Like this place here on the coast, the erosion and the wind and the water that must have affected it. I can only – I have footage from – what we just saw was drone footage from this year. I didn't get much drone footage the year before. I could already see how much has been covered in one year, in one year from having gone there again.
Starting point is 01:31:57 And it's just imagine over millions of years or thousands of years. It's crazy. If you had to just take a wild guess with no one holding you to this at all, how old do you think we're talking about here? I was guilty of multiple skin care crimes, two counts of sleeping and makeup, one count of using disposable wipes. I knew my routine had to change. So I switched to Garnier-Missler water. It gently cleanses, perfectly removes makeup, and provides 24-hour hydration.
Starting point is 01:32:28 Clear away the evidence with the number one Missler Water worldwide by Garnier. Local news is in decline across Canada, and this is bad news for all of us. With less local news, noise, rumors, and misinformation fill the void. And it gets harder to separate truth from fiction. That's why CBC News is putting more journalists in more places across Canada, reporting on the ground from where you live, telling the stories that matter to all of us, because local news is big news.
Starting point is 01:33:00 Choose news, not noise. CBC News. I think there's, I go back pre-caticalism, the Young and Dryest, there's evidence on like Waka Prieta that there was this mound that was carved out of the bedrock that Tom Dillah and his team excavated and that academically accepted dates back to 12,500 BCE. And so there were people living on the coast at that time. So this mound, what does that look like?
Starting point is 01:33:34 There's a, it looks just like a, this is an interesting site. That's it. What am I looking at here? That mound. That's not a natural mound? It started off as natural And so what they found was They would use their refuse
Starting point is 01:33:55 And so they would put trash on top of the mound And then cap it with like Adobe mud So it would become strong It would become a platform And then they would build on top of it So is a trash mound? Part of it How weird
Starting point is 01:34:10 That wasn't an uncommon thing And that's more than 11 15,000 years old And what is that? They have writing from there? No. What's that cloth? It's hard to see with that image.
Starting point is 01:34:23 It's fishing nets. Oh, I see. It's one of the oldest pieces of cotton. So you ask how they were carrying things and all that with the cotton. But the cotton was coming from further inland. It wasn't coming from them. So even back then they were. So here's the kick.
Starting point is 01:34:43 And this is part of like the paper thinking I'm writing. there's evidence at that place, Waka Prieta, of a sunken circular plasm. And that predates all the ones we saw by even by 2,000 more years. I think this is where that tradition started. Wow. I think that's where it started far earlier than anybody accepts or knows. Now, here's the weird one. Like, how do those people get there?
Starting point is 01:35:12 Dude, you know, I've thought about this. I mean, look, if you... Right? If you're building these structures 6,000 years ago, 11,000 years ago, 15,000 years ago, when'd you get there? When'd you get there? And there's, yeah, there's the plaza. So, I mean, I don't think it takes much. I think if you're living on the coast or, I don't know, by any sort of water and you see a piece of wood floating on it, you're like, huh, all right.
Starting point is 01:35:40 Well, then a thousand years go by and you have at that point put some pieces of wood together to make a flotation to. device, you're able to navigate. Like, I just, I don't see it not happening. Eventually. Right. Especially with crazy people. Right. I mean, someone's got the courage to just sail out there and hope you have enough water on you.
Starting point is 01:36:01 Or you're fishing and, and you get stuck. You get stuck and there's a storm and it's like, whoop. Right. And you could never make it back, you know. But I think that's happened in multiple places. I don't think that civilization is. Born and created without, A, that sense of exploration, but also that natural ingenuity. I mean, storms happen and you see a log floating in the ocean.
Starting point is 01:36:26 Well, I can use that to go catch more fish. Yeah. All of a sudden, you're seafaring. Pooy. It just, when you see stuff like this, that's that old, that's 15,000 years old, you go, okay, well, this is all that's left from 15,000 years ago. What's left from 30,000 years ago? Because it's like double that, right? Right now, you look at 15, there's almost nothing.
Starting point is 01:36:49 It's like, God, it's so little, but you get it. But if you went another 15 before that, are we talking, what is that? And that's why I'm like with the stuff Beyond he is doing with the SIR tech, I'm just hoping that that can be affordable and applied in multiple areas to find things that are buried underground. One thing that I've always been curious about why there hasn't been more research until I looked into it. All these places were on the coast of Peru. Well, sea levels were lower at one point. And so what's right off the coast of Peru?
Starting point is 01:37:29 Right. You know? And there haven't been many, if any, studies on that. I'm like, why? apparently the Humboldt current makes it very difficult to this is this is what I read because I was like why hasn't anybody studied this apparently the Humboldt current makes it very difficult to do research out there where it becomes very expensive for the equipment you need and things like that but I guarantee that you'll be you'll find some stuff off the coast yeah it just makes sense yeah yeah especially you find that I mean especially we know that sea levels were far lower especially if that really is 15,000 years ago, we definitely know the sea levels were lower then.
Starting point is 01:38:09 Yeah, it wasn't like this. It's crazy, too, man, because, like, Tom Dilley got, I mean, he got so much shit from the academic community for his research time in Monteverdi and this site. Which is interesting, how consistent it is.
Starting point is 01:38:26 It's still going on today, the same way. And they're always wrong. Right? It's like, you would think, you might want to have an open, just leave some. room and the young archaeologists are. I think there's a lot of young archaeologists that have grown up with the internet and they're really paying attention to this stuff and they're realizing. And also when you're young and you grow up with the internet, you realize like gatekeepers of information are a real problem and they always have been. And they're wrong about so many things. I mean, they're wrong about virtually everything. The official narrative of almost everything has holes in it. I'm like, something you said earlier too, like this age of study and exploration and radiocarbon, it's not that old.
Starting point is 01:39:10 Right. It's a, we've only been doing this type of research for 100 years with some of the new advancements. Like, you don't think something else is going to come along that might knock that out? Right. You don't want to leave room for that? Right. Like, it's kind of dickish. It's very dickish.
Starting point is 01:39:26 But, you know, no need to focus on the dicks. But that's why things like Felipe Bione's work is so devastating to the narrative. Because this new technology, and if it shows that it's accurate, and it is accurate on things that we know exist. That's where it gets really crazy, especially when they looked 1.2 kilometers through a mountain to find the particle collider underneath and got the exact dimensions and a map of this particle collider. It's wild. Right? So they know that it's accurate. And then, so what are those pillars? What are these 20 meter in diameter?
Starting point is 01:40:05 What are these things? And why would you not want to divest all the money you can possibly do to figure that out? I think it'll happen. And I think one of the reasons why it's going to happen is because of the Internet, is because just the pressure and the amount of interest. And also, think about Egypt, right? Egypt, a large portion of their economy is wrapped around the tourism. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:40:31 Because the tourism in Egypt is phenomenal because it's one of the most incredible sites in the world. Wouldn't you want it to be even more incredible? Like what's more incredible than some unknown mystery of spectacular proportion? Something that goes a kilometer deep under the pyramids and they don't know what it is? Like, this is nuts. Also, those shafts that go down that are filled with debris now that they can clear out, and it leads to what at least this data shows, tunnels and caverns and all this shit that's underneath there. Like, what is that?
Starting point is 01:41:06 That's, I mean, and Ben has done phenomenal work putting all that together. Oh, he's incredible. I love that guy. The history and the accounts of being in these labyrinths. And he's another guy that got into this because of the internet, you know? I mean, he had a real career in tech. And he was like, okay, I'm going to throw this out to be a YouTuber. I was, I forget who I was, I forget who I was speaking to.
Starting point is 01:41:31 But I mean, my goal is to document as much as possible before it's not there to document. And I, I mean, it's crazy to be on here. And to my channel is, I still feel like it's in its infancy. Well, I only found out about it. A while, I mean, I want to say four months ago, five months ago, something like that. You know, I started seeing some of your. stuff online, I think on X, and I started looking at it on YouTube, and I was like, yo. This guy's going deep.
Starting point is 01:42:03 How did you fund all this stuff? I mean, how do you have the money to go and do these things? I went broke, the first expedition. This was a total field of dreams. If you build it, I'll see what happens. And fortunately, I mean, people saw the world. work I had been doing up into that point. There were some GoFundMe donations, which was amazing. The fact that, I mean, just thank anybody out there, just thank you. Like, the people
Starting point is 01:42:36 who believe in what I'm doing, like, that's what fills me up the most, too, like the encouragement and the support from people I don't know, you know. And the content you provide, though, is so fascinating. And it's so interesting to people like myself and other people that are really interested in it. It's just a matter of. of getting you exposure. So the content is so amazing. It's just a matter of people have to find out about it. And then, I mean, YouTube is a great. The algorithm on YouTube is so good because it'll recommend, I'll watch one of your videos and it'll recommend something else interesting, you know, and then it just keeps going on and on and on.
Starting point is 01:43:12 Well, and so I came back from that first expedition. I was there. The first expedition was 23 days. I had two terabytes of footage. And it's funny, that footage lasted me a year and a half until of this expedition now. And I was out on this last expedition for 42 days all over the country. And I mean, the video you were talking about when we first started talking, that is, too, the only, there's no drawn footage of that site ever. There is one Facebook post with pictures. And that's it. And I was like, I have to document this, you know?
Starting point is 01:43:49 And so much from the last expedition is like that. It's the only media that you'll see of it. The fact that these pyramids carved into the bedrock that you're the only one that has media that is just absolutely insane. What are we looking at here? I'm just digging around the area. Oh, yeah. This is a mummy, Lady Cow they found in 2006. They call her that she might have been the first female ruler of the area, the Cleopatra of South America.
Starting point is 01:44:23 these are pictures of her tattoos Oh, whoa So actually what's interesting is It is being There's a lot of evidence to say that Some of these early, early cultures Were matriarchal Because they're finding a lot of the tombs of
Starting point is 01:44:41 These queens Right there on the coast The sorcerer Yes, this one pyramid in this area Called El Brucho Where Huaca Prieta is Yep They found this dope totem.
Starting point is 01:44:55 Whoa. And so what's interesting, and so I believe this was the, I think, the, I think the Mocha. El Bruho, there are. These paintings are on the wall. Wow. Yeah, I have a video on YouTube. That's cool, too, because you see paint. So you realize that these things were very colorful.
Starting point is 01:45:15 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. And that this is a recreation of what it would have looked like then. Those are prisoners? Yeah. So the actual thing I thought was cool here, too. Why are they painting their prisoners? That's weird.
Starting point is 01:45:27 I mean, everything was painted, though. This was where people. I mean, why are they making depictions of their prisoners? You know what I mean? Not that they painted it different colors, which is kind of cool, but it's interesting. Like, how old is this supposed to be? Anywhere from 3,000, that's what is a very interesting part. 3,000 BC is what they say it goes back to, but they say it wasn't developed until modern day, like 200 to 600 AD,
Starting point is 01:45:51 which is it's a 3600 years of nothing. So I believe it was the Moche culture. 1990, this one was found. And a Peruvian banker is the guy. It says it's philanthropically minded. I can't say it. Right. And the Huaceros are the ones who told him about it.
Starting point is 01:46:09 And so that's a lot of these places have been found because of Guarquero's being reported. All of a sudden there's an influx in a little village of silver or something like that. like that. And then somebody tells the authorities, they figure out where they're going to dig. I mean, there's a, there's a good book on it. It's the Lord of Sipan where archaeologists literally had to, like, stand guard. The townspeople weren't happy that when the archaeologist got involved and the townspeople were coming to get the gold and coming to get the silver.
Starting point is 01:46:45 And so there's a whole book about it. I don't know why nobody's made a movie on it. That makes sense, though, right? Because it's life-changing. If they can find hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of gold and silver in the ground, buck these archaeologists. Well, and some of the earliest, a lot of this stuff you'll see in the museums like the Larko Herrera Museum. And a lot of this stuff, a lot of the pottery is preserved because you had these big plantation owners, these big, you know, technocrats. and their workers in the field would constantly be finding this artwork and these these these these wakas and uh and so they were like you know what i'll give you two dollars every time you bring me bring me one and now we have the larko herera museum you know full of this stuff so anyway and there's i was talking to dr ed barnhart about this there's also there's also so much in peru that the the people finding these things they aren't maybe nowadays they're making a lot on stuff but
Starting point is 01:47:48 for the past couple decades, there was just so much. You're getting $3 for, if you're a Peruvian worker in the field, moving this thing up, the latter, you're getting $3 for a little piece of pottery. How long have you been doing this for? I mean, what I've been with the channel two years. That's it. Two years, yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:16 And what were you doing before that? A video editor. And so you just said, you know what? I'm going to just take a leap of faith? My contract, I had a contract position and it ended. I was posting these things I was finding on Google Earth, and I was saying, like, I think this is something, this is why. I came up with this whole methodology, and people were like, you're full of shit.
Starting point is 01:48:39 And I was like, you know what? Let's see. And I went, and 100% accuracy. Every single place I saw on Google Earth. Earth that did not have a label was an archaeological site. Every single one I went to. And that first expedition, I went to 90 in 23 days. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:59 Nine. That was the first expedition. I was there for 42 days this time. Wow. So, like, I've got five terabytes worth of video footage of things nobody's seen. That's crazy. But just, I mean, imagine again, what if you didn't do this? That's what's nuts?
Starting point is 01:49:18 That's what's nuts. Like, we would be completely ignorant about this stuff. Yeah. Yeah. It just makes you wonder, like, what was, like, those stone pyramids carved at the bedrock, the only you have footage of it? What was that culture? Who were they doing?
Starting point is 01:49:34 And all I have to go off of is what this, what made me happy is, like, and I have it on the video, if I'm talking to the camera, I think this, I think this, I think this card. And that survey verified every little thing that I, which was, like, pretty cool. because I'm not, you know, academically trained to, you know, analyze these things, but I have the experience. And so it was kind of neat that every bullet point was verified by that survey. The feeling I got going to that place, in that place in particular, I don't think they're going to find pottery there. I don't think they're going to, I think it was pre-ceramic, but I also think there weren't houses.
Starting point is 01:50:15 There weren't, there might be, you know, if you go digging. or do some LIDAR. I think it was a place of pilgrimage. That's just my person. I have nothing to back that up. That's what I felt, though, kind of pilgrimage. Like when I was walking there, I don't know, man, Peru is weird. The energy in Peru is different.
Starting point is 01:50:40 In what way? I want to say spiritual because I don't have a different word for it. It's just you're just in tune with something. I mean, maybe it's just the nature. Maybe, but I mean, I feel different down there. And especially going on these far out places and when you get to some of these sites, like, you feel a little different. And so just kind of the intuitive impression I got was, I wonder if people were coming here as some sort of pilgrimage because they, I mean, there aren't houses there. There's no evidence of people living there.
Starting point is 01:51:20 But is that because of time? That's very possible. That's the problem when you're seeing something that's the amount of work that would take to carve something out of bedrock like those pyramids. And how many of those pyramids do you find? They're like 16 of them. 16. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:51:38 They're huge. Huge. They're carved out of the ground, out of rock, with what? Dude. Here's the interesting thing. In that survey, I didn't know this and I tried to pinpoint the location. main pyramid I was on, there's a black and white photo from 1970 where they found a carved out room in that pyramid strike, in that main pyramid.
Starting point is 01:52:01 There's a, and it looks like a room. It's been human carved out. So there's chambers in some of these things. Why aren't we studying it? Right. Why haven't we gone back in? Also, how? Like, what are you using to cut?
Starting point is 01:52:17 Right. Like, what kind of tools do you have? And six thousand years? Like what tools were available? And it's so close to the ocean, you might not ever know because a tsunami comes in. It's taking it right back out. Right, right. And if it's metal, it's gone anyway.
Starting point is 01:52:33 It's gone. Same with, same with, I think also, like, I think that little alcove where all the burials were, I think that got preserved because it was behind this mountain. I think if there was any civilization there prior that, might have been living there. All the bones that were there on, they're gone. Right. They got taken back out.
Starting point is 01:52:56 Of course. So. And probably all the structures. Any houses. If they had wooden houses or. On top of the land. Yeah. Gone.
Starting point is 01:53:03 Nothing left. And so all your left is with this strong, who knows if those things were bigger too, you know? Right. Right. Who knows what was on top of those things. Right. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:53:14 That's nuts, man. The thing that gave it away on that site in particular is when you look airily, every single one of those pyramid structures is facing northeast, every single one. And that's for the sunrise on the solstice. Right. And I was like, this is manmade. This is manmade. And there's still people on the comments who are like, that's, oh, that's just a mountain.
Starting point is 01:53:36 And I'm like, dude, what more do you want? Like, the leading. They think that those things were just, they don't think those things are manmade? Yeah. They're the same shape. Yeah, I know. The same shape, the same size. they're all pointing in the same direction.
Starting point is 01:53:49 Shut the fuck up. I've learned not to fight. You know, you're going to believe what you want anyway. You know what I mean? It's the history. I mean, Graham Hancock has the greatest phrase that we are a species with amnesia. And I think it's true.
Starting point is 01:54:04 And I think it all points back to not just the younger dryness impact, but probably several other impacts. You know, my friend John Reeves, he lives in Alaska and he runs the bone yard. Yeah, yeah. John just sent me some photos of a new site that they have that's under all these other sites, like deep under all the other sites, where they're finding not just bone, but charred bone, like an entire area of like burnt tusks, burnt bones, covered it. And he thinks there was another impact. And, you know, just, I mean, he's just making a rough estimation.
Starting point is 01:54:46 because some of the sites that he found, it's somewhere around 10,000 years ago due to, like, you know, doing the examination of the cores. And he thinks it's 20,000 years ago. So he thinks this is probably a normal thing that has happened all throughout the history of the earth is the earth gets pelted, you know, every 10,000, every 20,000, whatever.
Starting point is 01:55:09 I mean, just get hit. And that speaks to the myths and the legends and the dryas and the yugas. And I mean, every civilization has its version of, you know, this is the fifth epoch or the fourth epoch. You know, this is the first one was fire. The last one was, you know, water. There's always several cataclysms. The yuga stuff is nuts, too, because it just seems like it's so accurate.
Starting point is 01:55:36 And we are in Kali Yuga right now, which is the Age of Deception. And, like, what's more confusing? That's what it's called, right? Isn't it called the Age of Deception? find out what called so what's more like if you thought
Starting point is 01:55:50 that it was all falling apart before it gets rebuilt let's like that's now like this place is fucking crazy every day the news is nuts I've gone on a social media hiatus over the last few days and I feel so good
Starting point is 01:56:03 and I decided two days ago I'm not going back I'm like I'm not going back I'll go back to post things I'm never reading it anymore I'll find my news you know people send me enough stuff as it is, my friends send me things.
Starting point is 01:56:16 I don't have to click on them, but I know what's going on. Like, what craziness is happening? You just feel better when you don't do it. I've been sucked into the NASCA Mummy's thing, sucked me into the back and forth on X. It's toxic. It's so toxic, man. So toxic.
Starting point is 01:56:34 And it's like, at the end of the day, people are going, look, you can have all the evidence saying this one thing and everybody agrees. you're going to have this group that it's like, well, no, for this reason. And then it's the same thing on the other side, too. And so it's just this, this, social media is this weird. What I'm saying is it's just this weird loop of confirmation bias. And bitchiness and anger and arguments and infighting and attacks.
Starting point is 01:57:05 And I just think that it's altering the collective psychological foundation of our society. I agree with you. And that's what's weird. And that's what makes sense when you see, like, crazy protests and crazy people online. It's like everyone's getting, there's something that's happening to them. Well, what's this one thing that exists with everybody? It's social media use. Yep.
Starting point is 01:57:32 And I think, I don't know. It's hard. I tried to stay away. And then I found myself, like, last week after I made, like, these videos just for the social media sphere as an example. Like, I was getting pulled into it. I felt myself. As somebody who has not engaged that much, I was like, something has shifted, you know,
Starting point is 01:57:56 and like I was ready to get defensive and take things personally. And I'm like, this is an attack back. And attack back. And I was like, this is just continuing the cycle. And I don't want that. I don't want that in my life. I don't need any of that. So I just stopped, you know.
Starting point is 01:58:12 And, but the level of defensiveness, the level. level of attacks, the level of, and it's not even, at some points, it's not even just taking things personally. The attacks are personal sometimes. So it's like, what are you supposed to do other than not engage? Yeah, you can't engage. I say post and ghost. That's my strategy.
Starting point is 01:58:32 I like it. That's my strategy. And then even then, I'm telling people to stay off of it, so they're not even going to read my stuff. Like, they're listening to me, but that's okay. It's okay. It's like you find out enough, you find out about the important things, and find out about shows that you enjoy and then you subscribe. And then when new episodes come out, you're like, ooh.
Starting point is 01:58:50 Yeah, yeah. And so that's what I've been doing. And it's a much healthier way. Like the one thing that doesn't, and Jelly Roll was telling me this, like, you know, he got off all. He had no phone for like 18 months, no phone at all. Wow. It was crazy.
Starting point is 01:59:04 Yeah. Like, I'd contact him through his guy that was running his social media. It sounds like a healthy choice. Tell jelly, I love him. Tell me what's up. And then recently, he got. got a phone, like, over the last few months and only uses YouTube. He's like, my YouTube, he goes, I learn things, I get interested in things.
Starting point is 01:59:24 And that's how I feel, too. Like, I really enjoy YouTube. There's so much interesting content on YouTube, about everything. I mean, it's just like... We're living in... I mean, this is an incredible age where... I mean, I feel fortunate for what I'm doing that there's an audience for it, you know? And there's a platform that can...
Starting point is 01:59:45 allow that to have some reach because some stuff deserves to reach. Well, what you're doing is very important. It's very important. Just the fact that you are the first guy to get media of those structures, that's crazy, man. I mean, it's really kind of crazy. You're a video editor. Two years ago you decided to do this. You're the first guy who's documenting these things and then we're showing millions of people right now. Kind of nuts. Like how few people know that there was some kind of a complex society that understood the equinoxes, pointing their structure toward it, and not just building them with mud and bricks, but carving it out of the bedrock in a similar shape over and over and over again.
Starting point is 02:00:30 And that's just what you found. Like, imagine how much hasn't been found. Dude, you just look at the aerial stuff and... I mean, Joe, I can't... That's just the tip of the iceberg, man. Like of the content that, I mean, I'm going to places in the middle of the desert and seeing an Adobe wall peek out at this one little section. And then I put the drone in the air and you can see the outline of this whole structure, just a little bump in the sand. And no one even knows it's there.
Starting point is 02:01:01 No one even knows it's there. What happened all those people? That's what's nuts. Dude, that's the, like, when I say cradle of civilization, I mean, this was. whatever is bigger than a cradle. Well, that's what makes sense, right? Because if you think about the Ice Age, and if all this stuff is pre-ice age or during the Ice Age,
Starting point is 02:01:22 that area is not covered in ice. And it's one of the few areas around the equator that's not fucked up. And there's one of the few areas where people can thrive. So it really makes sense that that would be the area where civilization would not just thrive but reach very high levels of sophistication
Starting point is 02:01:38 where they're able to carve into the bedrock these massive pyramid structures. There's interesting evidence that I forgot I was watching it was on like Discovery or Nageo or something but there's evidence in like the Okukaha Desert I mean they're finding another dark trafficking illegal trafficking web is like the sale of fossils
Starting point is 02:02:00 because they're finding whales in the Okukai Desert and brings me to I was waiting to find a good point for this they found that they were using whale vertebrae as stools So they found this giant Dude, I want those for my bar Dude, that's awesome I didn't know that In 2020
Starting point is 02:02:17 They found what could be dubbed the most heaviest or the heaviest animal Ever I've been in touch with that guy's nephew Colossal Blue Whale found outside of Peru Each vertebrae
Starting point is 02:02:31 Waste 220 pounds Yeah, the whole thing Once they found 200 tons And so like As you were just saying if they're not buried under tons of ice, then these people could, in theory, have found
Starting point is 02:02:44 lots of these giant. Holy shit. In the desert, yeah. Something else I'm stumbling across and didn't get into it. Blue whale poop is apparently got something interesting to it. What's the deal with blue whale poop?
Starting point is 02:02:58 How do you go on these deep dogs in the middle of a podcast? Jamie, you're a fucking wizard, dude. You start seeing stuff. Whoa. Having a poop. Look at that. Neon green?
Starting point is 02:03:07 I'm just imagining these giant 200 ton Poops And then what you could I don't know it's red Oh God What are these people doing with poop They also think that they could have been eating In a different way
Starting point is 02:03:21 They're just sweeping up shrimp and shit From the bottom of the ocean Right I'm just like picturing what this looked like In the year zero Where there's a bunch of giant whale bones All over the coast And who knows what other octopus
Starting point is 02:03:35 Or whatever the fuck else And what happens to that poop when it fossilizes, you know. But no, they're finding that, they're fine. I mean, there is a dark web of trafficking for looking for stuff in the Okukahae Desert, where there, where all these prehistoric animal bones are. They found dinosaurs and stuff there, too. And, again, is it just wealthy people that want it for their homes?
Starting point is 02:03:56 Is that what it is? The stuff I've seen, it's, I mean, really that guy and a few other people just kind of going out there illegally looking for stuff. Right. But it has to be valuable for them to be willing to do this, right? So who's buying it? Wealthy oligarchs, I don't know. Where are these fucking people?
Starting point is 02:04:14 I never met one of them that has some stuff like that. I want to go over someone's house. Like, hey, want to see some shit? You got a whole museum right there. That's probably how you wind up on a list. But, I mean, there's still so much out there. And, I mean, if I, just like some of the structures I was talking about, Like you literally see a whole Adobe wall.
Starting point is 02:04:37 You see a whole temple complex. You see the remnants of a circular plaza. I mean, there's another, if you go to the undocumented temple on the spreadsheet, this is undocumented. No Ministry of Culture sign. It's not on the Ministry of Culture's database of Archaeological sites. How did you find it? Using Google Earth.
Starting point is 02:05:01 Wow. And so here's the thing. All right. So circling back, we had that. Norte Chico culture with the sunken plazas way down here. We have this. So that, well, that's what I saw on Google Earth. No, go ahead.
Starting point is 02:05:15 Continue what you just said. Okay. So you have the Coral Supae culture down here. And then you have the, they found that sunken plaza underneath archaeological sites in Casma way up here. So you have these two different, and they're saying they were separate cultures. I think they were the same. How far apart of it? 200 kilometers or miles, I forget.
Starting point is 02:05:38 So what I was like, I was like, well, is there a connection between these two? So I looked in the valleys in between and I found this with a sunken, a temple, with a sunken circular plaza. So you just have them. Found it on Google Earth. Yeah. And then I went and I needed help from one of the guys in the field to point. And a lot of the people in these pueblos like, they'll know every now and then you'll get lucky and someone knows the history. every now and then.
Starting point is 02:06:04 More often than not, it's, yeah, there's some ruins right over there. And that's it. That's the extent of their knowledge. And so that was one of these occasions where the guy was like, if you just go this way and that way. Because I was looking for it. I had to pin all my map, but I was getting lost. So I go and I find this place, and lo and behold, it's a sunken circular plaza, temple structure. I go up on top, there's pottery there.
Starting point is 02:06:30 You can see where the Guackeros have dug things out. There's walls, and it's just unexcavated. Nobody surveyed it. There's no documentation of it. It's just there. Wow. Can I see it? So that's what I saw.
Starting point is 02:06:50 This is what you saw on Google Earth. Yeah. Okay. And so you're just looking in between these two areas. Oh, and it's also facing north-northeast, too. That also told me that it was probably something. Okay. And then you see this? This you find on Google. That's right next to it.
Starting point is 02:07:08 And then you went. And then I went. What do you rent in a car? How the fuck are you doing this? Yeah. What happens to bring these cards back? They're like, where'd you go? Yeah. I have some pictures of driving out in the desert bed.
Starting point is 02:07:23 Like. Okay, so this guy's helping you? Is this the guy a local? Yeah. He was just working in the field there. Okay, so these are the fields. And he tells you where this stuff. is so all the locals know what the stuff is and then pretty soon I start walking up to it and this is completely undocumented and it's you can see the plaza there
Starting point is 02:07:46 it's all rubble so something happened some some earthquake or so I'm walking up to the top of it and then so right now it just looks like rubble it doesn't even look like it was a building right from the ground at least exactly and half and so much many places I'm like standing right in the middle of the right in the middle of a site I don't even know until I put the drone in the air. Oh. I think it's coming up here. You'll see a, say, should come up here shortly.
Starting point is 02:08:22 I find, there you go. Okay. So. Clearly. Underneath all of that is rooms. Right. So you see the bricks. A piece of pottery.
Starting point is 02:08:35 Some of the walk arrows took out. But that was that was evidence to me that so underneath this whole thing are walls and chambers and rooms. And you just found this on Google Earth. And it's the same style as that Coral Supay culture, the early one from, you know, 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. It's just so hard to believe that this is unexplored. and not just that undocumented and that you just find it on Google thank God for shout out to Google Earth
Starting point is 02:09:11 you know Google Earth deserve some props I mean seriously yeah crazy I mean who would have ever thought people asked if I used like advanced satellite stuff and I've only used Google Earth so far
Starting point is 02:09:23 look at this clearly some sort of a civilization was there that just got obliterated so this was weird I don't know like it was just a cactus in the middle of it all, it was very strange. I don't know. Cactuses are tough.
Starting point is 02:09:40 I still don't know what to make of that. They can grow anywhere. That's what's weird about it. But it is weird. There's only one. Yeah, in the middle of it. Yeah. But so there's pottery there and...
Starting point is 02:09:51 I was wondering if it was the sand... There was one more cactus, like, directly aligned with it. Oh, there's San Pedro cactus down there? Yeah. So these people were probably doing something. Something with the old psychotivism. I've got a place to show you. Because San Pedro Cactus is where you get mescaline, right?
Starting point is 02:10:11 Yes. Yeah. It makes sense that if they have these temples and they have, if there's a pilgrimage, there's some sort of a psychedelic ritual involved. Look at this, man. What does it feel like to just find something that no one even knew existed like this? It's got to be a trip. I'm like, thank God I was right.
Starting point is 02:10:39 They spent 14 hours getting to this place. Like, thank God there was something. But there have been times too where I'll get there and it's the satellite. Google Earth hasn't updated itself and there's a plantation planted over some of it, you know? And it's like, you know. Do you ask the people? Like what used to be here? If there's people around.
Starting point is 02:11:02 I mean, sometimes. Like I said, it's, you can tell, you can kind of tell when it's corporate. The infrastructure in the area is different. But that's the other thing. There's nobody monitoring this. And I was like, what's the solution? Do you pay somebody to call the Ministry of Culture when somebody's coming in with bulldozers, leveling things? And what would they even do?
Starting point is 02:11:26 Probably the people with the bulldozers just pay them off. Either pay them off or, dude, at that corral site, Ruth Shady, the archailles, the archie, The archaea... She was shot by land traffickers. The archaeologist responsible for... Land traffickers were trying to take over the site, and she was shot. She was killed? She wasn't killed.
Starting point is 02:11:44 She was shot. And I mean, she's... As recent as a few years ago, is like, we're still not getting protections from them. They sent us one security guard to patrol the perimeter. These land traffickers, man, like... And it's for agriculture. It's for agriculture. It's not for looting.
Starting point is 02:12:01 Looting is a happy by-primitary. product for them. It's for the agriculture. Squatters issued death threats to archaeologists discovered oldest city in Americas. The oldest city in the Americas, and you're getting one rent-a-cop? Wow. They called the site's lawyers and said that if he continued to protect me, they would kill him, along with me,
Starting point is 02:12:24 and bury us five meters below the ground. And she's 73. They killed our dog as a warning. Oh, God. They actually, when, I think it was, there was, because when they excavate, they do it in seasons and stuff, and there was one season where, like, land traffickers had started building on part of the site and in the off season from digging, so they had to deal with all of that. I mean, it's crazy. It's like the Wild West, man. Wow. Any other sites to shows that are.
Starting point is 02:12:54 Yeah. I mean, dude, there's. I know. We should be going forever, but. If you look at Chavine, C-H-A, it's on the, just on the media hard drive. So we're talking about underground structures and hallucinogens and stuff like that. This place Chavine. Now, this is a known archaeological site.
Starting point is 02:13:18 And how old is this place? I think 2000, right around zero. Wow. Look how far down it goes. How deep does it go? This is nuts. Right? And this is just one part of it.
Starting point is 02:13:33 Whoa. Oh, and this is 2,000 years old, at least. At least. Wow. They won't let you film in the other section. It kind of looks like this. Why won't they let you film there? Because there's something called the L-Z-O-N monolith.
Starting point is 02:13:50 And if you look that up, Jamie, L-A-N-Z-O-N monolith. So that's it. So they won't let you film in there because too many people go in there and take pictures and the flash supposedly, so they just, yeah. The flash. Dude, but when I went in there, the security guard was right behind me the whole time. He knew I was going to try to take a picture. Yeah, but you could take a picture with no flash now,
Starting point is 02:14:19 especially with, like, the new iPhones and Samsung phones. You could take some really high-resolution photos. The guard said not enough people know how to turn it off on their phone. Oh, boy. So, but when you walk in. Flash is fucking it up. That seems crazy. That seems like voodoo.
Starting point is 02:14:36 Doesn't it? Doesn't it? It could do it to paint and stuff. Come on, there's no paint on that fucking thing. And it's behind a piece of plexiglass, too. That sounds like they're just control freaks. Like, fuck off, dude. Yeah, they make a reason for sure just to tell people.
Starting point is 02:14:50 So the whole thing about this place, you saw how deep we went underground. It's in a comparable place with these hallways. And Joe, like completely stone cold sober. That's what it looks like. As soon as I walked in underground, something hits you. It's... The air is different.
Starting point is 02:15:12 Dude, I don't know how to describe it. And how'd you feel? Lighter and a little messed up in the head, man. Really? Yeah. Do you think it's a lack of oxygen? It's possible. Because it seems like you're deep, deep, deep underground,
Starting point is 02:15:30 probably limited oxygen because you get these caverns and just got a hole to the top. I mean, honestly, I wonder if it's built on some sort of, I don't like the, like the sacred energy site. Sacred energy or Delphi with the gases or something like that. I don't know. Getting gassed in there? All I know is that when you go in.
Starting point is 02:15:51 Show me that totem again, that monolith? What they found is they found evidence of rituals happening there, like plates with hallucinogenic plants or substances. So people were going down there to do these rituals and do this space. I mean, if you're going to go on a trip, that's the place to do it. Right.
Starting point is 02:16:14 It's just, it's just, you're in a closed space. The acoustics are so weird. It's trippy, man. What is that image on that thing? It's a jaguar. There's a whole bunch of imagery here. That's like the fanged.
Starting point is 02:16:28 So for a while, they thought, they thought this culture, the Chavine culture, was responsible for the onset of religion. in Peru. They called it the mother culture for decades. And you see this fanged deity. Dr. Barnhart talks about it a lot, this jaguar-looking deity. They thought it came from there. But there's actually places that I went to where you see it on the coast for older. So it actually kind of flips that whole. It's not the mother culture. But their influence and their reach was extreme throughout the, throughout the Indian,
Starting point is 02:17:07 world. So they were responsible for that's when like religion took an iconography got a major influx right after Chauvin culture. They had it before but not like this. So that's what's, that's what's on that statue. Wow. Yeah. And it's just so ridiculous. They won't let you take a picture because of the flash. That's so good. Somebody said talk to them and go, hey man, shut the fuck up. That flash doesn't do anything. Devotees would be led into the maze of pitch black tunnels eventually coming face to face with the sculpture. The worshippers disorientation in addition to the hallucinogenic effects of the San Pedro cactus they were given before entering only heightened a visual and psychological impact of the
Starting point is 02:17:51 sculpture. I mean that's... God, people are weird. They must have had it lit up with fire or some fucking sweet. Yeah. Dude, it was... Just going in there, stone cold sober and feeling affected, I can only imagine. in what it was like being on San Pedro.
Starting point is 02:18:10 Is that the weirdest place that you've been to in Peru? Sox-I-Wam-on seems to me to be the most bizarre because of just the size of the stones. Oh, yeah. I mean. Like, how? How? I mean, how?
Starting point is 02:18:27 I don't know. What are you guys doing? How'd you do this? How'd you figure out to make them interlocking in a way that if there's a seismic impact, they stay put? How? How did you get them there? How do they look like marshmallow?
Starting point is 02:18:42 I mean, yeah. Why they, like, looks like they're melted. I've gone on some deep dives. It's funny on that. Yeah, look at that. Fuck, man. The big ones on the bottom, like, how? It's the style of them, too, which is so different where, as you said, it looks like
Starting point is 02:19:00 marshmallows. They're melted into place almost. Like, look at that one big one in the center. What the hell is that? How big is that? I forget, but they go up to. 200 tons, I think. That's got to be bigger than 200 tons.
Starting point is 02:19:13 Don't you think? Probably. I don't know. Look how small those people are and those people are in the foreground. Get those people right up next to that thing? They'd be tiny. Well, maybe it is 200 tons. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:19:24 But either way. Fucking nuts. That one up there. You know, how rounded these things are. Yeah. And you can't get a piece of paper. The only way they've been dislodged is because of earthquakes. I mean, like it's...
Starting point is 02:19:36 Bro. Look at the size of that. And look at the way they interlock. You can tell when you get up close, there is this reddish residue. Oh, we can. There's so much, man. You can see there's often reddish residue. So they were painted at one point in time?
Starting point is 02:19:59 No, I think it was. Clay? In the Spanish, the indigenous people will tell you that, and actually Percy Fawcett wrote about it in his journals, too, like this bird that would take a leaf, a red leaf, and peck it into the rock, and after a little bit of time it would create a hole in the rock. Like it would kind of melt the stone. Actually, the guy from the video that unregistered megalithic site told me the same story. Okay, I know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 02:20:27 Right. There's a specific type of plant that has like an acid to it. An acid. And I've started to, I like Dr. Barnhart's theory. And there's also a paper on it, a peer-reviewed paper by Helmut Tribute, where he talks about, look, if you mix pyrite from the offshoot of one of these ink and mines with this plantish material, you can create like an acid that will slightly deform the stone. So maybe you would set the stones in place that way? Secrets of softened stone, the lost techniques of the ink from Facebook, so you know it's true. No, no, no, but George Lira was, I did a whole, some of my early videos, man, are like research papers.
Starting point is 02:21:15 Like, I went on a deep dive with all this. And the Spanish chroniclers talk about seeing gold in between some of the stones. But this guy also, Helmut Tribute, who wrote the paper, says, what if it wasn't gold? What if it was pyrite fusing the stones, helping to fuse the stones together with this paste? Look what it says there. It says, the technique to carve and shape the stones remains a mystery. According to legends, the gods would have gifted the Inca's two magical plants. Coke, so coca leaves, which allowed them to withstand pain and physical exhaustion,
Starting point is 02:21:51 and another plant that allowed them to soften stones. Soften stones. But you see that red residue in between them. That also makes sense. They did so much work. They were all coked up. I've got to fucking making these dope pyramids. When I was a kid, this one... This is a picture I clicked on, but that didn't pop up.
Starting point is 02:22:08 Oh, that can't be real. No, that's... I've seen that. That's an artistic creation. If you pull up... Let's... Do you want to stay on Kuzco or go to one other place? It's up to you, dog.
Starting point is 02:22:25 Whatever you want to do. Let's go to Tunnels, Kusco. Dude, this whole... This whole part of the Andes. Yeah, it's... There's tunnels everywhere, man. Like, it's not just what they're doing. So you're climbing down into this tunnel.
Starting point is 02:22:46 Now, is this a naturally formed hole? Some of it. Some of it? Okay. On the way out, you'll see when I, going in, there's steps. Those were actual steps that were built. But these things, dude, you can't get to the end. You can't find people.
Starting point is 02:23:04 There are stories where kids get lost in these. things and never found. Oh, fuck. So again, these look like natural caves. Right. Some of them have been carved out, though. So it's a combination of both? It's a combination. So probably there were some natural caves and then they started carving things out. Well, the whole thing, the whole thing about it was... This gets weird. So this is the steps? Yeah, coming up on the right. I mean, it just keeps going on. Oh, I'm not going in there. There's the steps. Jamie, can imagine you and me outside the door going, uh-uh. You go?
Starting point is 02:23:40 I'll follow you. It's how my catch-what guide was, man. He was just filming me. Fuck you, bro. I'm not going in there. I was like, I'll go in. There's probably demons in there. That's like that movie.
Starting point is 02:23:51 What was that movie? The dissent? Yeah, that movie's great. That movie's great. I watched it a while ago. I was like, 2005? That's wild. That's old movie, yeah.
Starting point is 02:24:00 They did a dissent, too. It's not as good. Yeah. It's okay. It's not the best. But this is dissent one was awesome. Yeah. One of the best horror flicks I've actually.
Starting point is 02:24:11 And there's another one, huh? Oh, fuck, that hole. Did you go in there? Please tell me how to be doing there. Of course I did, Joe. Of course I did. Well, with your Pillars of the Past shirt on. Oh, my God, dude.
Starting point is 02:24:25 I don't even think I would fit in that hole. I got a little scared because coming out wasn't easy. I was just reading about this guy who died in one of those holes. A guy was a cave crawler. and he got stuck trying to get out. He got in, head first, and then could not get out. And was just stuck. Died there.
Starting point is 02:24:43 Dude. Like that? Like that? Couldn't even scream because his chest was compressed. Oh, God. Yeah, I mean, there's some stuff I've done. I'm not going to do it. He was at an angle like this, you know, and just couldn't, there's no way to get back out.
Starting point is 02:24:56 It's terrifying. That's terrifying. You know how that never happens? You don't go in there. You don't go in there. You never dive in a cave. You never dive in a cave. I'll take that into consideration.
Starting point is 02:25:05 All right, before we wrap us up, anything else you want to show us? All right, one more site. Chisnery, the C-H-I-S. Let's just do the drone footage and then inside tombs. So this place, I had no idea of places like the, it's just me and my guide. He's, dude, the people I met on this, it's just by happenstance. He's the president of the community. there, the little compassino, and took 12 hours out of his day to walk me through this place.
Starting point is 02:25:44 That's cool. That's another build-it-and-they-will-come thing, right? It really is. Yeah, you just go out there and you'll find the right people. Or they kill your dog. Yeah. Okay. So this, this, like, I have.
Starting point is 02:26:00 Ooh, the paint still on it. It's actually not paint. It's mud. It's different colored mud. That's what he said So Now we're gonna go Now in that
Starting point is 02:26:11 In that next video We're gonna walk up To them Oh skulls The sky people Do you know? No The Chacha Poias
Starting point is 02:26:27 The Chacha Poyas Were much further north You see that skull? You see that skull? You see that skull? Right? Yeah This is in the Kusco region
Starting point is 02:26:35 Wow What the fuck, dude Yeah, man Why all these dead people in that hole? Whoa! What's going on in there? These were where they would bury their deceased.
Starting point is 02:26:49 They'd just chuck them in a hole? No, no, they were, they weren't like that. They were. So this is all just looting. This is all looting. That rope. Fucking skulls are everywhere. This is crazy.
Starting point is 02:27:00 It's wild. It was like a horror movie. This is like the beginning of a horror movie before it gets dark out. Right? The guys, these archaeologists, it's probably you. You're out there. In the movie, you'd bring a girl with you. I have to leave this place before the sun goes down.
Starting point is 02:27:14 A hundred thousand percent. Bro, you're going to hear voices. You're going to hear dead languages. No camping in the valley. You'd have to be a gangster to fucking take a nap in there. Ghost hunters should definitely go there. Oh, yeah. I get Sam and Colby to go down there.
Starting point is 02:27:34 I bet they won't do it. That's real ghosts. This is all from looting. Wow. So they just dug these people up. Stole whatever. Yeah, that's a spine. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:27:45 Fuck, man. God, there's so many bones. That's nuts. It's crazy, man. That's nuts. Well, Roe, I'm happy. I'm so happy that you made that decision a couple years ago to just follow this passion. And the content that you put out is really incredible.
Starting point is 02:28:05 And the fact you've been able to find these sites that are here-to-for undocumented, it's really amazing, man. It's amazing. I'm happy you're doing it, and I really enjoyed having you on. And for everybody who wants to watch, it's Pillars of the Past, it's on YouTube. Do you put videos up on X as well? I do. I have started putting videos up on X, and, you know, my website's going to be up and running soon. It's going to be a place. If you find places and want to put it on a map, and, you know, if Jamie wants to comment on it, then he can comment on the pin you put. I'm trying to build something, because people send me stuff all the time. time. Right. Have some sort of a thriving community of people that are interested in the same thing. Absolutely. Well, there's a, there's an interest for this stuff now. I really credit Graham, Graham Hancock, I think, because he was the real pioneer of this when people just thought he was a loon. I remember people would make fun of me for reading his book in the late 90s. They didn't make fun of me. Like, we'd read this bullshit from. Why don't you go to a real history class? That's not fun.
Starting point is 02:29:07 No. This is fun. This is fun. It's fun to think that we don't know what happened, but that something happened. And Graham puts in the work. I mean, I mean, you just look at the citation section. He puts in the work. Of course. Yeah, he's an amazing human, you know, which is why they have to lie to discredit him. But, you know, when he put that material out and then I think the Netflix show really started started opening up the gates to people exploring this stuff more and just being fascinated by it. And then seeking out content like yours and, you know, and there's, we're really, we're really. really fortunate now there's quite a few really good shows that are on YouTube that document this kind of stuff and it's these are real mysteries it there's real mysteries when it comes to human history and uh in my
Starting point is 02:29:57 to me it's one of the most fascinating things i agree i love it so i thank you so much for doing what you do and uh get out there again and let's come back and do another one of these and i i would be happy to and just a few plugs I'll be speaking at a because of all this which is just amazing I still feel like everything's in its infancy so I'm humbled by the opportunities
Starting point is 02:30:23 I keep presenting themselves but like the Quest for Ancient Civilizations Conference in Sedona and then it's actually going to be here It's in Sedona it's going to be here in Austin too Course in Tina too two cuckie places
Starting point is 02:30:35 ACL Live I think is Oh nice okay It's an amazing venue That's going to be in October. And then I'm doing a tour with Mike Collins from Wandering Wolf in the Yucatan and with Hugh Newman. Let me ask you about that. What do you think about that sage wall? Because he's the guy that goes over the sage wall.
Starting point is 02:30:53 You think it's a natural formation? I think it's more likely. More likely the way I operate is I tend to remain skeptical. I would like multiple pieces of evidence. There's also similar things. nearby that aren't a spectacular that are natural, right? I believe so, yes. In the, yeah, there's something about the geology of the area.
Starting point is 02:31:17 And I found places like that in Peru as well. I mean, I'm waiting for, they've done LIDAR studies of that stuff. For me, just to have one wall, I need, I personally need more than just that. Right. More than just that. Yeah. And I mean, I found some of the stuff like that in Peru, and I'm very hesitant to say this is megalithic architecture.
Starting point is 02:31:41 It needs more study. For people that are interested in just to let you know, there's a lot of AI images online. And when you go to look for the sage wall, sometimes you're confronted with ones like, oh my God, that for sure is manmade. But then it's not a real image. Someone's created an image or doctored the image to make it look a little bit more manmade. I will say Mike Collins has done a ton of work on it. So if you want to see the original footage, it's on his channel.
Starting point is 02:32:07 Very, very interesting footage. I mean, I go back and forth. Yeah, I mean, that's... Depending on how old it is. So that's the thing. Like, was you talking about something that's 30,000 years old? Maybe that's all that's left. I forget he was saying...
Starting point is 02:32:18 They found that it goes a lot deeper than it. Right. Something like that. So it's like, for me... Which makes it more interesting. And I'm like, I just... Like, keep driving. Like, let's see.
Starting point is 02:32:29 Keep figuring it out. Because I want in Texas, too, that I haven't found a good answer for. Yeah. I've heard of that. Yeah. 200,000-year-old wall?

Starting point is 02:33:40 It's so hard nowadays to, like, you've got to put in some work to find the truth. Yeah. That was, that is weird. But that doesn't look real.
