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,

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.
