MYSTERY of the BAND OF HOLES in PERU FINALLY ANSWERED? w/
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ค. 2024
- I explore the ancient Band of Holes site in Peru to further expand on my theory of agricultural use for its almost 100 years of remaining unexplained. Join me and follow along as I travel across the world to the Canary Islands to further look into the possibility of connected agricultural practices from modern techniques being used today. That video coming soon, but you can follow me in real time on Twitter as I am traveling!
My name is Michael Collins and I travel the world with a focus on ancient sites, discovering new ancient clues and locations, showing you how to visit yourself as well as documenting the experience along the way. I am glad you found your way here!

you keep using "theory" in the colloquial (non-scientific) sense when you should be saying, "hypothesis".
Finally! I'm dying to see this one. I had posted the short flyover on my FB page, and got a lot of interest on it. it is blowing people away.
Hell yeah! I’ll be dropping this video then an even more in depth video when I return from the Canary Islands. Leave in a few days 😎
@@WanderingWolf dammm one of these days I'd like to go on one of these trips
@@InFamousProductions I’m hosting a Peru trip in Oct that has a flexible payment plan and hits all the major sites! Check it out - trovatrip.com/trip/south-america/peru/peru-with-michael-collins-oct-2024 - would love for you to come! Set the price low too and the Early Bird special is still available with 4 tickets left!
"Im tired of this granpa" "well that's too damn bad! You keep digging" "well, excuse me!"
Fantastic video! Thanks so much for letting me come with you to this amazing site!
What an adventure! Brother thank you for letting me tag along with YOU!!!
You always find the coolest shit, Nice work, very cool stuff
I appreciate that! So much more to come 😎
Dude, I would LOVE to go to Peru...it's the Egypt of the Americas as far as Mysteries go.
Mr. Wolf, out of curiosity, have you seen any documentation of what happens during heavy rain? I.E. do the holes hold water, do they drain in particular directions as purposely manipulated waterways etc.? Good stuff, my friend! ❤
Thanks Mike awesome stuff 🤘
Glad you enjoyed this! I just finished filming in the Canary Islands and will be putting the full video together shortly when I return. Thank you! I
I concur, it's an agricultural installation. Imagine how valuable a testbed of drought resistant hybrids this would have been. The amount of organizational control from both an irrigation and soil deposition perspective can NOT be overstated. These are the equivalent of "pots". If you bring up the fertile soil from the valley below to fill these holes, you can control the composition of the "potting" in order to evaluate the yields. How do you think we arrived at modern agronomy?
Really awesome, dude! Great footage! Reasonable theory, too!
Thank you Richard! I’ll be in the Canary Islands today! Will see what I can dig up! 😎
Awesome video! First one of yours I've found... Your theory makes a lot of sense. Eager to check out more videos. Thanks!
So happy you found your way here! Glad you made it! Plenty more to enjoy and plenty more to come! Thank you for your support 🙏
Thank you for sharing this without music blaring throughout in the background. You give us an illusion of being there. For some people with mobility issues its great to hear your voice, footsteps and background noises in these areas. A potential use of these holes could be giant drying racks. Is there any evidence of sticks or canes that could have stretched across each of them for air drying or dehydrating other crops upon? Modern agricultural use of holes is to revert deserts back into farmland but with holes so deep and rock walled? Interesting.
so epic bro!!!!! great episode!!!! keep em coming!!!! cheers!
I’m not trying to be ornery, but I can’t see why the holes would be in such a long narrow line across that kind of terrain for farming. Having grown up on a farm, I know it’s important to catch as much water as possible. This is why people farm in squares or circles. The More moist land you have in one place, the longer it stays moist. That long strung out line up high like that would do the opposite. And when you had to water your plants by hand, you’d have to walk miles to get to them all. I just can’t see it as farming….🙁❤️🐝
It is an interesting theory, look up Shaun Overton dustups ranch he is doing a similar thing to catch water and regenerate the desert. But if that was the purpose of these holes why would they be so nicely lined with rocks it seems like too much work for little gain and why make it so long and uniform,random holes here and there make more sense since everyone would want his own plot to grow things. And you should look at what could be grown in those holes (they are too colse to one another for trees) and what they had available to plant in those times and what was the weather like then dryer of wetter? Just some thoughts. In my opinion it doesn't seem likely, such organized unique project has a more specific answer (something unique with the location, or time period it was made in (mass deaths from illness or something like that, but there would be bones elsewhere) or a massive storage hub which was easy to look after and mark plots.
Fantastic place, great mystery!Well maybe you're right about some kind of ancient agricultural technique.Perhaps that was a way to collect water.Do we know if there was a period of drought in that particular place back in ancient times?Or a famine? It's really strange place!Bravo Mike! Keep up showing us such wonderful stuff!
As someone who has done a ton of gardening, there are many places I would not plant. Some of the band dips into complete shadow it looks like to me. I don't think it was for people either. I would be interested to know if there were additional bands down below the hill/mountains that was covered in sediment and dirt over time. Have they ever tested into several of the holes to see if there is plant DNA or human DNA or ? If you mentioned this, I apologize... trying to multitask - my kids are learning their lessons.
Great questions! I leave for the Canary Island tmrw to follow up on modern techniques being used today similar to this and interview specialist in the field of agriculture about their methods used. Will be sharing more as I work towards the next video release hopefully by the end of April. But, the holes, if used for agriculture, could help with moisture collection (dew), protection against high winds (as you can tell exist from the video, lol) and sand damage and gets through the top layer of very rocky soil providing purchase for root systems to take hold. I’ll be posting on Twitter daily as I can over the next 3 weeks and releasing videos as well!
@WanderingWolf good points, especially about the wind. I did plant my banana tree in a more shady spot for wind protection, so having full sun may not have been their priority. Looking at that nasty looking soil, it is probably very alkaline and likely wouldn't grow much without the help from holes. I live in the desert of AZ. We build huge wells around our trees to help retain water... different, I know, but similar concept. I hope you get the answers. I look forward to following your research. The amount of work that went into this site is intense.... you would think that whatever it was used for was used over and over again for it to be worth all that effort. There has to be some sort of organics there. I hope you find it.
Thank you!
@@The_Real_Rambo I appreciate the support! Looking forward to sharing more and thank you for sharing your understanding here as well!
Maybe to protect seedlings or grow short crop plant. Interesting location for sure.
That could even be a line of vegitation meant for wind dampening or prevent deforestation
The Ossuary structures suggest a triple purpose. Agricultural, funerary and a cyclic ritual likely sacrificial. The flower of youth were sacrificed to fertility deity's before Catholicism. The Yorkshire traditional anthem On Ilkley moor Bar t' At comes to mind.
First time I have heard of this site. I tend to agree with you. I don't see this as a grave site.
Thank you for this.
Great name for an all girl group. 😊
Is this Chad?😝
@@richarddullum2373 yes indeed
Because the holes are so deep thinking maybe they planted trees that would act as a duel purpose a wind break and food. Wind can cause erosion and dust so maybe there is a community just below the hole ridge that would benefit from such construction?
Can you provide references to your compass, and temps please? It looks so desolate however thousands of years ago who knows, it may have been lush and green?
I have always wondered what the holes actually looked like close up Drones are going to make new discoveries all over the world Thanks
❤❤❤
Have you heard of the South America acid pits? Agriculture makes the most sense, but is there any sign of chemical residue?
looks like some kind of anti-erosion measure, to protect against a mud flood.
They are doing something like that in Africa .. right at the edge of the Sahara...the half circles are to catch the water running off ...
But why a band... to be able to walk from one town to another place? On the way being able to eat leaves.. and getting some water. I know in some places nets are hung to capture mountain dew, could plants have done the same. Could this have been done in other places. Growing and expanding where now a forest or meadow is and fertile soil and those holes are completely filled in. Did they use cattle, eating those plants and fertilizing the soil. In how many places the land was completely unusable and humans made it fertile? That's what I think was in the handbags of the gods, fertile soil with rainforest bacteria and seeds. I believe the incas or predecessors created the fertile soil on which they could feed those fast amount of inhabitants. When they died, nature competed took over, overgrowing everything. We are now destroying that thin layer of fertile soil by cutting trees and burning, planting palms for creating palmoil and growing cattle. What if this was the first step in creating fertile soil.
les gooooo
From videos by Brien Foerster and discussions in comments. The agriculture theory is not new. It is one of the theories. One of my questions is, why on the mountainside going up it? Why not make it completely parallel to the valley floor? It does seem to be in the shape of a snake and look like a snake going up the mountain. So a green snake going up the mountain with trees growing in it? How did they water all those holes? That's a lot of work!
I saw his video where he first mentions agriculture for this site. It’s after my first post proposing the theory and the only comments I’ve ever seen started on my threads on various platforms or after…certainly possible this has been proposed before me (haven’t seen that however) but I’ll be documenting and continuing to cover this and compare with modern agricultural techniques around the world as I’m traveling out tmrw to the Canary Islands. Theory will adjust as I gather more info from established experts I’m sure. Appreciate the questions you’ve posed here btw, I hope to answer many if not all of them over the coming months as I dive further into this!
@@WanderingWolfI would love to see your theory is true. The holes can't be that ancient to still be there. But still why? The valley by the river is fertile so why there? Was the river wider back then?
@@MarcMartino I think you’ll be happy with some of what I’ve worked out already with an expert in agriculture since making this video. It’s a bit in depth for typing out but that next video will be my main focus when I get back from this trip and much more in depth. Thank you for watching here and engaging! I hope to have the other video out within a month.
Yeah the thing is there is a universal trait that humans everywhere have ! At the core we are lazy! Sorry its true , we always find the easiest way , even when its difficult. Look at any footpath anywhere in the world with a 90 degree corner and i guarantee you the grass is worn where people cut the corner. This holds true for the holes being used for agriculture ,as it would probably be easier grow the plants due to all the various reasons mentioned, shade, shelter, moisture retention etc etc. However why spread them in an endless line ? At some point the laziest person would just go " hey how about we just put all the holes here on the level bit of ground beside the water source " collective ohhhhh yeahhhh from all the villagers . I suspect at some point they would have deduced that the holes slightly off the top facing east produced better yields than others ( or west or whatever ) and were less labour intensive, thus thereafter there should be a higher percentage of these than others . Also they would be grouped more locally i suspect . I dont presume to have the answer and massive respect for investigating this , its fascinating, just pointing out something that caught my eye . Keep up the great work , been a fan since i saw you at the sage wall
Are we floating in heaven?
Yes
Aren't we?
agriculture? only if you like digging (assuming they even had shovels) big holes in VERY rocky soil. whatever calories you got from the food grown, would have been more than wasted digging the holes. to me, the bones give a better answer. they may have been used as traps, or for storage, yes one group of humans trapping and eating another.
…however, why would a race of people, plant in a line going up a hill? That part doesn’t make sense. Like most people who farm, you make use of the land closest to you, and expand as needed - that’s basic Agriculture one oh one. Orchards aren’t planted in a line up a hill - it just doesn’t add up.
Why make it harder for yourself and others, by heading off up a hillside, when it would be far easier to do the same thing at a lower level, and spread out over say - several football sized swathes of Land. I think it’s a great Theory, but alas, I believe it’s got a few holes in it…
Bone meal supplied by rival tribesmen stripped.
If there are bones in the holes, mabee they figured they could grow humans.
Electricity and Water made them...
ancient mega antlion traps lol
agriculture doesn't make sense to me.
why build these holes on a ridge to protect crops from wind when planting in the adjacent valleys would do the same thing without the effort? secondly, this complicates hauling water. and if they were used for agriculture, shouldn't they be laid out in a more accessible formation and location? nope... i'm not seeing it at all.
