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.

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.

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.
