You know, I mean, there's similarities around the world, especially with the redheaded stuff. I mean, you have Lovelock Cave in America and the stories, the Native American stories with the giants that they killed and smoked out in the caves there. Yeah. But yeah, that's a fun one to read. to get into, but yeah, no, I, I think that they were speaking literally.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Bolivia is crazy. Bolivia is awesome and it's amazing. It's not quite set up like Peru to be as quite as tourist friendly, but it's, I mean, our flight in a baby, uh,
was stopped breathing and my cousin had to like save this baby on the plane this whole thing he resuscitated this baby oh got it breathing again that that was as we were landing in bolivia then we get our first night we get into la paz
after that and a guy gets stabbed to death against my window are you serious yeah i mean he's screaming and dying wow it's far away as we are right now for me and some dude was sitting there stabbing him stab him to death yeah wow and then he stumbled down the street and died on the corner oh my god dude that's crazy
it was crazy we did death road we went out to the uyuni salt flats yeah i saw those my cousin got pretty sick he gets sick on every every trip that he goes on with me he can't eat anything without without getting sick it makes for it makes for some fun moments for me to uh give him a hard time but um Tiwanaku and Pumapuku were incredible.
And when I got out there, back then I was very much of the opinion of it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. And this was right at the height of COVID. So we get down there and Puma Punku was closed. Tiwanaku was open and there was nobody around. So we do Tiwanaku. And then, you know, my buddy, my cousin was gonna put the drone up and fly over Tiwanaku. But there were these,
were doing like these practice things for these ceremonies so they had a museum there i really wanted to see the museum so i kind of multi-purposed went over there to ask if there's any way we could get into the museum to see the museum even though it was close but also to kind of distract them from the drone we're at a high altitude right so you can hear everything um you know it's just a lot louder something like flying a drone up there at a high altitude
So, you know, my thing was just like take it up really high and just kind of circle it, get some good shots. And then, you know, so I'm talking to this lady. She's a village elder. We're sitting on this stone wall. And I'm talking to her and I start hearing the... I'm like, dude, he's not bringing it over here. And it's getting louder and louder to the point where she starts looking up.
And she hasn't seen it yet, but she can hear it. And I can see it happening in her face. She's piecing it together like, okay, that's a drone. I'm talking to this gringo. They're clearly connected, right? There's nobody else around. It's COVID. There's nobody here. And sure enough, my cousin flies it right down the main street of the town there at like 20 feet off the ground.
I'm like, it goes right by us. And I'm just sitting there like, you got to be shitting me, man. And she's like, is that you? And I'm like, look, I look at her and I'm like, yes. I mean, obviously, like there's no getting out of that, right? So... They confiscated the drone and the footage and took us into this office. They're like... Stabbed your cousin to death. Stabbed my cousin to death.
He's buried next to Puma Punku. God bless him.
But we just, we ended up working it out and they made an agreement with us that if we shared all the footage with them, right? So we said, absolutely, but let us into Puma Punku. somebody take us over there and open the gate and blah, blah, blah. And they did. So we went over there, we got some great film that all worked out. Ancient aliens bought that footage.
Um, they, you know, uh, used a lot of my footage and their, um, seasons, uh, a lot of the drone footage for different places around the world. And, um, we came back and, uh, And then we had to sit there for a couple of hours because their computers were so slow that it took like several hours just to download like, you know, 20 minutes of footage onto their computer. But we did it.
They worked it out. I don't know if they're using it or not. That's what they wanted it for was just, we'll let you do this if we can use your footage for whatever we want for tourism and for the site. So maybe it's on their website or something, I don't know. But it was a really good experience. Puma Punku and Tiwanaku, you know, Tiwanaku's a pyramid. And I don't think most people know that.
Tiwanaku has some incredible examples. Puma Punku does too. I don't... Tiwanaku doesn't get talked about quite as much, but there's a whole scattering of blocks and stones and different stuff towards the back of Pumapuku that have some really interesting designs. I mean, precision tiny drill holes perfectly spaced along blocks that are formed like sluices with curved undersides.
I mean, the level of precision... And those videos are out, and they show all of that. There's a level of precision going on there that is just incredible. And I mean...
the drill holes in some of these blocks and they go all the way through on some of them are so tiny and so precise and so evenly spaced um it clearly looks like these blocks were designed in some way to like fit on something and these are almost you ever put ikea furniture together No, but I can imagine it. These little pieces that they trouble you with, they sit on and they just connect it.
It's almost like that's what was going on in some of these. And now there are examples that aren't on cracks and grooves where it's in the middle of the block and the stone. But yeah, and some of these are on blocks and pieces that are completely square, but then have whole center pieces that are curved and sloping underneath and all sorts of stuff. It was a really fascinating site.
There's a very interesting courtyard type area with all these different types of faces and stuff. Some look like an alien and different things like that. And you get over to Pumapunku, And they're just, they're right next to each other, these sites.
