And then we're going to be doing one later this year, maybe in August or September down on the Amazon.
But this morning, he sent me a new image of a LIDAR scan that they had done.
down in the amazon just like running the drone straight over this uh straight over this uh huge piece of land and these huge circular geometric earthworks connected to each other as but as far as it looked like roads dude yeah they're massive highways yeah yeah and those highways went all through the amazon um i mean all through the amazon um but as far as how many are there
Dozens.
I mean, dozens, dude.
There's no one El Dorado.
The whole story of El Dorado is a bunch of different Spaniards hearing a bunch of different stories about a bunch of different places that had a lot of gold and then getting confused and it all kind of melds into El Dorado.
But El Dorado was...
half of the continent of South America itself.
So everywhere you go, if you find a city that's got gold artifacts in it, if you could excavate the whole thing, you'd be like, whoa, this is El Dorado.
Um, well, okay.
So there's a lot of stuff when it comes to finding like Spanish shipwrecks that have changed people's lives.
But as far as ancient sites, I think that there are maybe times early on where people would find ancient sites and you would buy the property and excavate it and you could sell all the artifacts.
But as far as, I don't know about like enriching one person's life because he found a bunch of stuff and was able to sell it or whatever.
But as far as finding sites that are filthy rich with gold, oh, hell yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, northern Peru out in the deserts had tons of them, man.
There was so much gold there that the kings there would wear gauntlets of gold with fabric woven in them.
And you could just wear these golden gloves and your whole body would be covered in gloves.
Yeah, your whole body would be covered.
