Dude, Machu Picchu is what started it.
My family's from Peru, and so I would grow up going there.
And I have this old, back when you were filming with cameras with like a videotape, there's footage of me finding seashells at Machu Picchu.
When I was like 10 years old.
Back then, you could go wherever you wanted.
You didn't have to stay on a path.
And for people that don't know, Machu Picchu is like, what, 12,000 feet above sea level?
I mean, I still have the footage, the grainy footage.
And I'm showing my dad on the camera like, Dad, Dad, look, I found seashells.
You know, I saw them in in inside of they were like glinting in the mud in the wall.
And that's what started this whole process for me.
It blew my mind that there were seashells way up there.
So I studied about earth cataclysms and ancient history and when sea levels were different.
