Yeah, so that's kind of a repaired wall. You can see that it fell apart and they put it back up. But these are mortarless buildings. Oh, hey, if you go just one below the one that you're at right now, so this is the Temple of the Moon at Machu Picchu. Look at the size of the stone wall. That's one stone on the lower part of it.
And you can see that the size of the stones that are together, as earthquakes have rattled the city, the wall still kind of holds together. It bends and holds together, completely mortarless. It's just fascinating. And on top of that, Machu Picchu itself... 60% of the megalithic construction work is in the foundation of Machu Picchu. So it's underneath what you're seeing.
And there are areas that are roped off where you can go down like underneath the city, but it's all roped off and I don't know a lot about it. I got a little bit of a photo of where you can go down into these, I think they're like man-made labyrinths that are underneath the city, but there's a lot more there. And so when you're there, you just get this, like, intrigue.
And I was curious how Egypt would stack up because I did Peru last year. And then the day I landed from Peru, I headed off to Egypt for a month. Damn, what a life. You got a great life, dude. That's cool. Yeah, well, thank you. That's really cool. How far is this from Nazca? Very far. Peru is deceivingly big. Peru is like half the size of the United States. Really? It's really, really big. Wow.
Yeah, yeah. I had no idea. Yeah, the Nazca Lines are really, really, really far away. It's very hard to do a – you can't do a tour of like all of Peru. It's too big. It would be like it would be like if you were going to go on a United States tour, you'd have to pick a place to go because it's just so massive. Usually when people like do a tour of Peru, they'll pick like Paracas, Nazca.
You know, you pick these desert coastline areas and you go see that because to get from there to the Sacred Valley is quite a journey. Yeah. Yeah. It would take it takes like a day and a half of consistently traveling to actually get there.
Yeah, yeah. Man, there's going to be so much like that that's going to be found. What is all that stuff? Well, you know, it's amazing how exactly... One, what's the inspiration for making these giant – the sophistication is in the planning and the math behind how exactly you make these images in the ground that are miles wide and very intricate.
Like if you look at the spider, the spider – there's a spider there that's anatomically correct for a local spider that's there. And there's some aspect about the spider and a detail that they incorporate there. That you would only know if you were like really studying these little creatures and wanted to recreate it on a massive scale. But the legs, man, they're mapping.
I mean, look, this is an enormous thing in the ground that if you don't have flight, you're never going to be able to know that you did it. That you did it precisely, right? Or unless you had very meticulous planning and everything. But again, what's the inspiration for that? What's the inspiration? Why would you be doing this? What is this for?
I don't know. See that?
Well, you know, the Nazca, the exact timeline of their civilization is a little bit blurry. But, I mean, they had disappeared more than a thousand years before the Spanish arrived.
Yeah, he does. I actually think that's a pulpa line, which is a different culture that does the same thing. If you look up pulpa lines, you may be able to find it.
Yes. But this is AI. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. This is the AI. Oh, wait. Look at the shark. Look at the shark on there. Isn't that cool? So you have seafaring. Dude. Okay, do you know of Vanapu in Easter Island? I think it's called Vanapu. It's this platform building that on Easter Island with all the big heads that is the exact same architecture as what we're seeing in Peru.
These people are traveling out into the Pacific Ocean and back. You know, it just, it's fascinating, man. Thor Heyerdahl with Contiki, he proved it. Yep, there we go. Yeah, so, you know, it's fallen apart. It's not the same stone. It's a local volcanic sandstone, I think. I don't think that this is basalt. It might be basalt, but it's a volcanic stone. I'm actually pretty sure it's basalt.
It's made out of the same thing of the Easter Island heads. So you have this Vanapu, but another project that my exploration center is working on later this year is we're going down to make a new updated map, archaeological map of Easter Island, Rapa Nui. And I'm not going, but this is Dr. Barnhart doing it.
And there's another site down on the remote end of the island where there's another structure like this that you never see mentioned. And so that we're going to document that and put that out. So there's no doubt that, I mean, these people are incredibly advanced, incredibly connected, incredibly intelligent. And it's just so mysterious. OK, do you know of the Blythe lines? Have you heard of this?
Blythe, California. There are Nazca lines up there.
Yeah. Yeah. We should look this up. Yeah. So where's Blythe? Oh, I think it's right before you get to Nevada. You're like driving. So if you if you you'll pass right by if you're driving from Las Vegas into California, I think. So Blythe lines. Yeah, we should. Yeah, we should zoom in from Google Earth. This would be cool.
Oh, so that's Blythe, California. You might be able to look up Blythe lines.
Yeah, they're huge. Whoa. So, dude, this is not the fuck is that this? This is I mean, to me, it's pretty obvious that there are people who are and this is they think that this is younger than the Nazca lines. But even if it is, it's pretty obvious to me that you have traders and you have people who are very capable of traveling all up and down the Americas. It's all interconnected.
