And so a lot of people have wondered, like, why are these scratch marks in all of these Olmec monuments? But all the scratch marks only appear in Olmec monuments that are not the were jaguar. And so what I think – this is a little bit of research that I'm doing, and I'm writing a book on the Olmecs right now – is what I think is there's a feud between the rulers and the shamanic class.

And I think that these were jaguar people, these people who are taking some kind of hallucinogen, taking a psychedelic, and basically imbuing the essence of a jaguar in some strange, crazy way that we can't explain, these are feuding with each other. And when I'm in – And I'm in these museums where you have these mushroom stone effigies that are all lined up. I'll ask a local archaeologist there.

I'll be like, so these mushrooms, do you think that these depict hallucinogens that they may have been taking to get high? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. No. I'm like, really? You look at all the crazy shit that ancient Americans are making. If you look at ancient American artwork anywhere, you can tell it's all mind-bending stuff to look at. Clearly, I think they're being influenced by plants.

Now, this were-jaguar isn't just isolated to the Olmec world. It also pops up at a place called Chavin de Huantar. Have you ever heard of this? No. This is in the Andes. It's one of the oldest cities in the Andes. So before Chavin... We can follow the DNA evidence of burials.

Like you can tell, okay, these people are younger if we carbon date their bodies that are buried underneath these temples, and they're related to these people that are older. So you're trying to piece together this DNA web, but it's very, very loose.

So there's a place called – there's a culture called Kerala Supe culture, and they are building pyramids before the old kingdom of Egypt ever even existed. This is 5,500 years ago at least. on the coast of Peru, like right on the beach. And there's like 15 huge pyramids out there. But this is a non-pottery, non-artistic culture. So we don't have pottery and we don't have art from them.
