Chapter 1: What ancient civilizations are discussed in Peru?
Well, I did pretty well for myself working in a job that I was really miserable at. I worked in sales. And, you know, so I had a lot of money saved up. And that was able to kind of propel me forward for quite a while. Luckily, until I'll be honest with you, until this year, I really thought I was going to have to maybe make some changes this year, especially at the beginning of this past year.
I say this year, 2024. you know, there was a plan last year that if things didn't start kind of hitting within a specific period of time, I had set a date that I was going to have to get a job. And then things started kind of taking off a little bit enough, enough to pay the bills. Right. And, um, And I, uh, I served in the military. I get disability from that, from my time in there.
And that really has been helpful. Um, so, uh, yeah, um, it's 2024 is a great year for seeing growth and, um, it was very exciting, a lot of great opportunities and chance to work with a lot of really amazing people. Um, and so, uh, yeah, looking forward to what else is to come. Yeah. Cool.
Do you know about how many countries you've been to in the last seven, eight years?
A lot. I should probably tally that up at some point because I get asked that a lot. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe over 50 or something. I don't know.
Yeah, yeah. Well, we're going to talk about all those spots that you've been to. There's some crazy, crazy stuff. Yeah, yeah. I mean, we both just got back from South America, so that might be a pretty cool place to start.
Yeah.
Although I'm itching to ask you about China because those...
because of what's going on in there both both politically but a lot of the ancient sites there too are just freaking fascinating with those those caves the what is it the long you long you caves caves yeah we're i mean massive as big as a as big as a mansion these these caves that have been just all the rocks have been taken out no rocks in sight like we don't know where any of it went and why they did it why they dug it all out like it's crazy it is a crazy site and um

Chapter 2: How do ancient sites in Peru compare to Egypt?
Yeah. The place is insane. It's so crazy. It's like, so, so I guess maybe even before we kind of dig into some of the details of, of, of the places that you've been and your thoughts on the places that you've been, um, like what's your worldview of, of ancient history?
So, I mean, you, you, you obviously, um, feel that there's a high possibility of there being an ancient civilization that we haven't, that we haven't discovered yet that is responsible for creating a lot of these places that we see all over the world.
I think just based on our conversation last night, just because of the similarities that we see between the various places that are all over the world. Can you expand on that a bit?
Yeah. So having been to so many places around the world on every continent, you see the same examples of stuff repeated. And so, you know, we're not just talking about architectural engineering or these massive structures is the moving of megalithic blocks and stones and different things like that. But we're talking about symbology, myths, legends, all sorts of stuff.
So it runs the gamut on these different types of things around the world that all share these commonalities. all the way down to specific types of features within the stone working from, you know, nubs to pinch holes to the type of tooling marks left behind. They're all found in these supposed disconnected cultures around the world from supposed different time periods.
which by modern understanding in some ways are separated by thousands of years and should have had no contact or understanding of each other. But you see these examples repeated over and over all throughout the world. And yeah, you know, what I keep seeing is things kind of, coalescing around specific date, like going back further than 10,000 years.
And the feel that I get walking these sites is that almost every major site, if not all of them around the world have been inherited by the cultures that we currently attribute them to. Um, And that is... The content that I put out generally, like we were talking before, I really want to inspire people to think for themselves. But as far as my opinion, so I'm not pushing an agenda or a thought.
Usually what I'm trying to do is document the site and share that with the viewer. But... my opinion from what i've seen around the world at all these different these places everywhere is that there's a a common thread linking all of them together uh not not one common thread a rope of threads and
everything that i see indicates you know whether it's the construction as you go up levels in time getting less and less precise you know whether it's just feeling like you know the hieroglyphs or petroglyphs or whatever different types of stuff are carved into these structures feeling more like graffiti and not a part of that structure originally

Chapter 3: What evidence is there of giants in South America?
Chapter 4: What is the significance of the Longyou Caves?
for that site. The history that we know of here in the Americas, specifically North America, isn't what we've been told. Now all of the rock and everything that's been excavated from those caves, they've never found. And we're talking about tens of thousands of tons of excavated rock that's never been accounted for. If there was ever a place for the argument for geopolymer,
In my opinion, Sacsayhuaman is a great example to explore that idea. I think that the cart ruts are tied into coring stone and that they served a purpose for movement. The archaeologists dismissed it because they knew that they had drastically rearranged the exterior of the structure of Chichen Itza.
uh yeah okay so we're rolling so welcome hey yeah good to have you here brother good to have you good to get to know you last night yeah it was yep um yeah gonna be a wild conversation so so uh we're gonna be talking about kind of all the different places that you've explored over the last what how many years you've been doing this um
What a doozy of a first question. Yeah. I went straight to the challenge. Yeah. Put me on my heels right away. Yeah. Um, I think about seven or eight years. Okay.
Yeah. Okay.
Um, Yeah, I like to say I officially retired in 2016. I quit an old job there. And then I really wanted to travel. The plan was to take a year off and travel. But a year turned into two years. And I figured I better figure out a way to... maybe make some money at this or turn it into something. Right. So that's what I did. So I kind of started around 2018, maybe 2019, somewhere in there. Cool.
Recording.
But your channel, you've got a YouTube channel, and that's really taken off within the last 12 months, I think you said, right?
Yeah, this last year... Yeah, I've been a lot of growth on this last year. I made a lot of changes over the last two years. And I think a lot of that really started coming into effect over the last year, which has been great.

Chapter 5: What insights do cart ruts provide about ancient technology?
That's not original. Okay. Got it. Got it. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, let's come back to China because China is like this whole story in itself. I kind of want to start with Peru, if that's cool with you.
Absolutely. I love Peru. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Peru is one of those places that, you know, especially with Cusco, I like to call Cusco the Rome of South America. Peru is amazing. And what's so amazing about Peru is that it's still... giving up secrets and new places and people are discovering new things.
Um, but you know, Peru, in my opinion is comparable if not surpassing, um, places like Egypt and, you know, having visited them both, I think, uh, you know, Peru is a hundred percent comparable and it's such a, um, a pleasant place to visit as well. Uh,
and um you know you do into certain parts have to get used to the altitude i know you had that first couple days were legit yeah yeah it'll get you yep yep but yeah wonderful place um and what i thought was really interesting when we were talking last night was that uh was sex a woman your just first site in peru to visit or was it your first ancient site to visit
No, I've been to other places.
Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Yeah. But, but that was the most incredible that I've ever been to.
Yeah. Totally agree. Yeah. Yeah.

Chapter 6: What discoveries are being made in Bolivia?
Chapter 7: How are ancient sites in North America relevant?
for that site. The history that we know of here in the Americas, specifically North America, isn't what we've been told. Now all of the rock and everything that's been excavated from those caves, they've never found. And we're talking about tens of thousands of tons of excavated rock that's never been accounted for.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of exploring ancient technology?
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.
Is there like a theory for what this was a part of? Because it just seems to be just a random wall that's out in the middle of the island. Was it like a part of a larger structure? Does it go down deeper into the ground?
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...
The Moai statues are made out of ash, volcanic ash. Yeah, I mean, a lot of them were quarried straight out of the volcano. Yeah, and the wall is basalt. I mean, it's a completely different... Basalt is much harder, much, much, much harder. I mean, you can chisel away the Moai statues pretty easily.
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.
