So it, it, it almost looks like the outside of, uh, that some of those stones, have you ever smoothed out concrete? Have you ever taken a two by four or something or a board and smoothed it out? It's almost like kind of a crappy job. Like that picture on the top left there, it's almost like that stone was pliable or malleable and they, it was smoothed out. Um,
And then what if you had a break in one of those bags? So if we're looking at, for example, that top left pitcher, and these are all contained in these sacks as they dry, and you had a bit of an imbalance in it or something, and you took like a wood board or something and pushed it into it to stabilize it. That's almost what those indentions remind me of.
So it looks like a big construction project almost, almost like laying concrete with these different types of examples, like the stone could have been contained in these perfectly placed bags and then looking like there's evidence of smoothing over and then things being pressed into it to stabilize it against the ground and keep it balanced.
um so you know that's a fun idea to explore do i know that no i mean but uh it was definitely something that kind of stood out to me and it certainly would be a lot easier to pour stone in place than um move these giant megalithic blocks up onto the top of that mountainous area there on where sexy woman is
And then those guys, they got off early that day, so they didn't smooth it out. They just bounced. Right. They didn't finish smoothing the whole process. They heard the whistle and they left for the day.
kind of makes sense for stability yeah um that is exciting in montana that they we've you know that uh chris the property owner chris and linda he's been amazing funding research up there and different stuff working on the site every year just recently cleared and exposed the backside and that's been exciting just to see that it's it it actually looks like it's a wall because the argument was that you know that it just went into the because the backside
is higher it comes all the way up well he's cleared it it's clearly these these stones on the back side that go down we'll see if that continues on as he continues to clear and excavate but he's he's doing it right he's going really slow um and uh but yeah that's exciting to see that the backside kind of holds up the same type of structure and feature as the front yeah for sure um
I think that what it still has left to reveal, I think we barely scratched the surface of amazing discoveries to be found down in South America. I think that I think there'll be a gold rush of people going down there eventually and getting deeper and deeper into some of these areas and exploring. I hope to be part of that. And, you know, I think that, I think as the years progress, I think,
whoever's writing history books is going to have some, you know, job security for a while. That's my thought process on South America. I think we've really scratched, barely scratched the surface. especially, you know, with the Amazon and getting further and further out into the Amazon and exploring and, and stuff like that.
And, uh, I mean, you've got kids at home on their computers now, you know, finding stuff just by using Google earth and, uh, now with lidar and as that gets easier and easier to do scanning all of the amazon eventually how amazing would that be seen through the trees and the foliage down to the ground and
And I think a lot of that's just as some of this technology becomes more and more available and cheaper and cheaper, people are just going to fund it themselves to just go out there and discover things on their own.
And we talked about this before, I think, you know, a lot of times how you hear it explained away was that, you know, the average height was back then was just very small. You know, people were five, five, five, six or something, or maybe smaller. And so that like a seven foot tall person or something within the realm of possibility for us today would seem like a giant.
But I don't, you know, yeah, I think that these people are talking about like eight, nine, 10 feet tall, maybe taller people. uh yeah i think they were speaking literally yeah and uh every culture has stories of giants around the world i don't think these and it's not just giants i mean it's all these different things that have been explained away as myth and legend
Generally, where I like to start with things like this is assuming that they're speaking literally until we figure it out otherwise. Metaphorical speaking and fantastical speaking has a flow. These accounts that you're talking about, they weren't written in a style of fanciful... These are logs and diaries and journals. They're not writing fantasy here.
So it was an account of what they experienced.
So I had an opportunity to... I spent some time down exploring Patagonia all throughout Chile, Argentina, all the way down to... the very tip of South America. And it is a wild, wild land down there. It feels very, very different. It was one of the more impactful trips that I've had Because, you know, I went to regions out there that were just like, I was like, dude, we're really out here.
Drew from Ushua to Cuevos de los Manos. It's a cave out there. You see famous pictures of it with the handprints all over the wall and six-fingered hands and stuff out there, too. That drive was... That was something else. Getting out there. I mean, the roads that we were on weren't even really roads, you know? Yeah. And I do have a video from it out if people want to check that out.
But... Yeah, these aren't painted either. They were... They put stuff in a gun or like a tube or whatever, put their hand on the wall and then blew it around their hand. I can't, it's, I don't know what that's. The word for that is escaping my brain at the moment. But yeah, so they weren't painted on, or they would paint the surface, then put their hand over and blow another color over it.
It's crazy cool artwork. But Patagonia is incredible. It's a wild land. If there was somebody where there's some place where there's giants, yeah, Patagonia's a good place to start looking. It's wild out there.
um pretty pretty wild pretty pretty wild yeah that was a big story for a long time um oh is that was that a national story was that a uh well yeah i mean i saw it all over um but maybe it's just you know you get plugged into the community yeah you get uh you see stuff coming your way but yeah i'm familiar with that story okay yeah okay uh-huh and then they loaded it up on a helicopter and took it took it away yeah big red-headed giant exactly yeah yeah
