And we drove as far as we could, and we had to hike through all the jungle and then up this mountain. And there's a little community up there. They live out up there. But this was the payoff here, these blocks. And I thought they were worth looking into. Yeah.

I'm hoping to get back out there here at the beginning of this year and coordinate something with them for clearing around the site to be better able to kind of see the bottoms of these structures, these blocks, to see if they're attached still to bedrock, if they're free, and just get some more information there. But they're all in these rectangular blocks.

Even the smaller ones are in these rectangular shapes. And several of them almost look like obelisks. Like the start of an obelisk. So there's a lot of different... It really gave me... comparable vibes to, to Baalbek and the quarry there, the stone of the pregnant woman and everything.

No, but here's the thing. It really sucked because the closest that I could get to the site was, um, Terrapoto. And that's about three hour drive.

to from terrapota so we got up early in the morning it's a three hour drive out there then it took another probably couple hours of hiking through the jungle to get up there and then i had you know i maybe had i don't even know if i had two hours before we had to head back because for daylight um And so I definitely didn't have as much time as I would have liked.

So my first time up there was more about trying to film everything that I could, get the drone up and film the site with the drone, and then try to get pictures and look at what I could. But there really just wasn't enough time for me to kind of dig around and look for clues other than what Dilmer was pointing out to me. So when I go back, I'm hoping to figure out
