probably one of the more shocking things was not the moai but the wall the wall amazing and that little block there it is yeah that's insane yeah it is basalt we were talking about that yesterday i couldn't remember you were you were right
yeah and it's exactly what you see in peru by supposedly two completely different cultures and it's i mean it's yeah it's wild it's wild what was it like to see that it was incredible um i was blown away because i wasn't aware of this until right before i was leaving to go there i didn't know that there was a wall there like that uh
And not only that, but you see the same type of construction in it with that little block, which is exampled in Peru as well. You can also find that in that type of design, I guess you'd call it, in Egypt and different places as well. You know, so there's... And then I also found it really fascinating visiting the quarry. There, and we'll get into that. But the...
You know, these are massive blocks perfectly fitted together with precision placement and cuts and the same type of... You don't find... You know, any kind of deviation or break, just like in Peru. I mean, they're perfectly fitted together.
If I remember correctly, what we were told was that it was a platform, right?
for the mo for the mo i for the statues to rest on and you know if you go around to the back side which i if this yeah this is my video um i do get around to the back side there eventually and there's collapsed statues and stuff there but um a lot of i don't seem the same level of precision in the statues as this wall right um
You know, you could argue that the statues are maybe more artistic or whatever in terms of their expression and how they were created. But there's a clear also evolution in the statues as well as far as that they've determined in dating, right? A lot of the older Moai are less defined, their features and different stuff like that. And then as the newer ones became more and more...
And it's like, why just this one spot? Well, you know... I think it's entirely possible that the that people from South America made their way over and crossed the ocean.
Yeah, I think, you know, we talked about it briefly last night. I think it's ridiculous to think that people that could create structures like this around the world, like that they were just incapable of trans-oceanic travel, that they were not capable of, like, making boats.
They had a clear understanding of astronomy, of their natural environment, and how to use it to a high level and degree of skill. So to think that they couldn't create boats and just sail across the ocean, you know, is just ridiculous in my opinion.
And this is another perfect example of, um, fitting those dates, pushing, pushing all of these types of structures and different things back past that 10,000 year mark.
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I was just there a few months ago, Megalitos de Capuli, and it is in the northern part of Peru, several hours north of Tarapoto up in the Amazonian Andes. So... A buddy on Twitter made me aware of it, sent me a private link or pictures. A gentleman out there who runs tours named Dilmer was the first person to document it.
He documented it, I think released his first video in July. And it kind of was blowing my mind that it hadn't gotten any traction. Not that it hadn't gotten traction,
it had his views had hundreds of thousands of views but um nobody in america was really talking about it and all his content is in spanish and i'm pretty sure that's the reason so i wanted to get down there and see it for myself and so i did um and it was quite the adventure that was one of the more challenging uh trips that i've been on um trying to make work i had one failed attempt trying to get out there and then uh was able to hook up with him delmer
and have him guide me out there. So we drove as far as we could. There he is, yeah. And Marcia up there on the top left, she was my guide for my Peru tour that I did this year. We had a blast. And I tried to get out to Megalito State Capitol after that tour ended while I was still down there and just couldn't work it out. And so I eventually contacted her. We linked back up a couple weeks later.
I got back down there and she met me up there and got facilitated everything. Top right, gentleman on the right, that's Dilmer. And the gentleman I'm shaking hands with, that is the president of the area. I don't know what that involves, being the president of the area, but very friendly and amazing coffee. They grow coffee on the whole side of the mountain there.
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.
Yeah. Yeah.
