what i really like about your channel is that your honest as far as you can, both intentionally and in your thinking, like it pall! keep it up, were all lost in a world with complexities that cannot possably fit inside our heads completely, the attempt at reconciling the past with common sense and proper logical ideas about engineering, with no requirement that we have got it all right already or that everything we do "know" is nessesarly wrong. great videos, i love it :)
I enjoy your videos Ben. We differ in a few ways, especially in regards to religions (i.e. I'm Christian) and I believe in the young earth and flood that wiped out humanity at one point. There is no doubt in my mind though that the orthodox view of history has many things wrong and agree that many of these civilizations have inherited the work of advanced civs that were wiped out at one point. I'm not here to try and convince anyone but just to see with my eyes (because I will likely never see any of these site in person) and learn as much about the civs that you cover here. The information you give fits into my world view in many ways. Where it does not, I will just say we disagree, I will not do as many do and call it pseudo science, etc. Thanks again for your videos and I appreciate you posting them. I would also be interested in your videos that are not related to civilizations. (hiking, etc)
The fact that it's shaped like a very poor representation of a puma, is hardly different from "Face on Mars". It's an example of Pareidolia, the tendency of the human brain to superimpose order on chaos. See faces in bumpers of cars, shapes in clouds and so on. Yeah it kind of looks like a puma, it also looks like a dozen of other things, are any of those proof of its origin? And those rocks shaped like a snake or a puma? I've seen clouds that make a better representation of snakes or pumas. If you're a culture that can carve rocks so precisely: why can't you make a more exact representation, so no one doubts you intentionally represented a snake? This explanation is simply laughable. Your guides exercise their childish pareidolic tendencies. Time and time again, my experience with cognitive and behavioural science and knowledge of research methods in general allows me to unravel many claims historians have made. History isn't really a science. And it's only when we use other sciences such as exact sciences and their tools like various measuring instruments can we arrive at facts, and it's a shame that the government representatives now put up these ropes and other obstacles so that we would have difficulty applying such non-invasive tools, for example, - measure the flatness of some of these surfaces. I think that despite the denials it is obvious that such are the attempts at preserving their status quo, and the pride in their heritage that the current version of history supplies them with. And how would the ancients make sure that these shapes are built correctly when seen from the air? How high would one have to be situated to make sure something is built in the shape of a puma, and that no errors are made?
That grave yard of mangled stone's are the remains from melting. There should be many finger prints , or signs of temperature testing on them, which would tell if it's soft enough, or too hard to be cut, when too hard, it's then abandoned to the grave yard to be reprocess .
i love the shots of the local area, where people live. So much better than the usual video about a place that only shows that place and it seems so out of context
Hello Ben, I've watched tons of videos on ancient megalithic sites and I have to say that the shots you take and the videos you are presenting us with are breathtakingly superior in quality and content than any others I've seen thus far. Keep it up mate! 👍
So true. This is the only guy that provides us with good footage. Everything explained and easy to see. Other youtubers just downlod some random pictures from google. This is what im after really.
I was fascinated by the name, sacsayhuman. Im delighted to have found your channel at random. I perfer your narration over corporate productions. Thank you, i appreciate your efforts
Your narration and script are always both engaging and informative. I always leave your videos enriched. Your Africa journey would fascinate me and I hope that you will present it soon in the future.
12:30 = what looks like the best evidence of what was going on. They stacked rocks, then molded around them with some form of concrete to give a finished look.
@@NerdOutWithMe I know, it makes me just short of suspicious. I wish it would be mentioned by an expert; their silence perhaps speaks for them though... What are your thoughts, I'd be interested to know? Just to add my laymen opinion, it looks like moisture has worked its way inside the block and then frozen, fracturing a seam, causing it to flake. I suppose it's humid/moist and probably freezes often at that altitude..?
@@5amH45lam I would agree with your idea. It also could have simply been hit by an object at any time throughout history. Either way, it's interesting to see inside and get a peek of how the stone work may have actually been done.
@@NerdOutWithMe @The ATTIC DWELLERS I don't know if you've seen this - (th-cam.com/video/HmlQz9kEHJA/w-d-xo.html - from around 11:00 onwards) the megalithic construction block material at Sacsayhuaman is discussed by an expert... Am I getting 4, or 5 when I put this '2 + 2' together??
Thanks for producing this beautiful, super interesting and informative documentary. Brian Forrester's commentary doesn't add much to your otherwise excellent presentation. Enjoyed your sane, succinct and credible observations/insights.
Thank you for another gem, Ben! It's refreshing to hear your viewpoint on our lost ancient technology. This is definitely something that the world needs to pay attention to. Let's forget about the latest gadgets, and instead, let's work on rewriting our history to depict ancient peoples and events of our Earth accurately. I wish I had time to practice what you're doing. Keep up the excellent work!
Another awesome video Ben! As mentioned below, your insightful logical approach is impeccable because you maintain authentic objectivity. The accompaniment of your smooth natural vocal tone and complementary accent, makes your concise narrative absolutely top notch in every single one of your detailed video productions. Your production and delivery are above and beyond any mainstream media persona I have ever encountered. You, my friend, are a natural media host. Carry on keeping it real!
I disagree about the authentic objectivity, Ben is definitely in the Younger Dryas cataclysm school of thought along with Hancock and Foerster. I believe only our relative short life spans and the relative pace of historical change blinds them to the idea that their estimations of the age of the megalithic structures could be tens or hundreds or thousands of times older than the 13 to 12 thousand year age of these widespread structures.
@@andrewjohnston4811 I understand your stance. However, if one takes in to account the possibility of the type of cataclysm that is described by the Electric Universe / Thunderbolts Project (Symbols of an Alien Sky) it is plausible that all "dating" of history is wrong. The age of the Earth (and etc.) is much younger than the "dating" methods "seem" to reveal. Ben, Brien and Hancock rely on the story that the "evidence" suggests - but if the Thunderbolts Project explanation is true - Plasma would have basically "burnt" everything - and rendered a more recent event - to display dating results to suggest much older events.
Thank you for digging into this topic. That is one of the megaliths I don't see as much research on that I've been meaning to research. How they moved those massive blocks of stone up there from so far away and fit them together so perfectly at that weight is insane to think about.
When I look at Sacsayhuaman's zig-zag rows of huge boulders (stacked when softened by technology lost to us, and moved perhaps by sound, also lost. It shows by the swollen faces of the stones--like buns baked in a small pan so they touch and press against one another as they bake...they push out in the same way. And they have poke holes, just like buns at a table, hungry dinner guests checking to be sure they're done.) Anyway, they could have had smaller rocks as stairs to upper level homes or wooden stairs, ladders... Upper stories may have used roofs of lower stories in front of them. Even a front walk in front of the wooden structures... Each zig-zag is a separate unit, a wooden wall would run between boulders to divide units. A minimum of 50 to 60 units, more if ground-level ones were built in front of the 1st row of boulders. The boulders on the bottom level would provide the rear wall... The zig-zags were only here, so they may have proved valuable to identify each separate unit. If the Spaniards filled in the dirt, as one doc said, trying to hide the megalithic structures, they could have been basements, even storage for grains--stones fir so closely, nothing can get in there... Each unit would have had a view, windows in the wood structures, the boulders holding upper stories. And front doors... The units would face the open community field in front of them--a lawn for kids to play, and organized sports for those older. They may have had small kitchen gardens in front of homes, there could have been a bazaar for all the people to sell goods... And to the left, you can see another valley, perfect for farming, water draining down to crops from higher elevations where homes sit in cooler air...
Great video Ben! I couldn't agree more regarding your comments on the shapes many guides and historians claim represent animals etc. The original builders where highly skilled master stonemasons and artisans, and would have been well and truly beyond capable of shaping the blocks far more accurately so as to be noticeable if they were truly multi purposing with this intent. Much like the shapes at Nazca and many other historic sites and temples, if you want something to be truly noticed, you tend to create it to be very definitive, rather than vaguely obscure.
Excellent video and a very thoughtful examination of the evidence! The mystery is how a civilization so advanced to be able to produce the fantastic stone works did not leave a written record, actual writing or even pictorial symbols.
That guy is seeing Pumas everywhere. lol I'm not buying it, these people are seeing what they want to see. I used to do hardscaping and working with stone is nothing to laugh at. There is no amount of money that would have convinced us to attempt and replicate anything like this. To attribute this to the Inca is ridiculous especially when you can see the poor repair work all over the place. People that dismiss this and wonder what the big deal is has never tried to cut a piece of granite. Even to shape a countertop where the thickness is 1.5 inches will kick your ass and that's using a diamond tip heavy-duty grinder not a chisel and hammer.
@Dawson Davis If that is the case then it again was not done by the Inca, as obviously they did not have concrete. There is also the idea of using some sonic device to soften stone. Or, as brought forward by Sylvie Ivanova from the newearth channel, the stones might have been grown. Carving seems really odd, looking at the shapes. I've been in the area end of March and walked further up the "hills". That stuff is everywhere and I found a wall where one stone was moved. They really fit perfectly to the other surrounding stones, i.e. the whole surface fits perfectly. Whatever one thinks how it was done - it is puzzling to say the least.
@Dawson Davis Do you know the "Bosnian Pyramids"? Looks like they are at least 20.000 years old and made of some special concrete with far better properties than our modern one. I wish no money would be spent on wars and all the other insanity but used for researching all these things. So many places waiting for excavations etc. So obvious that the rulers of earth do not want us to know our true history.
@Dawson Davis The Ravne tunnels are undisputed, so it gives the idea of the pyramids some credibility. Also the beam of energy from the top of the pyramid of the sun seems to be real, as 4 independent entities measured it. Originally from Austria, I am sitting here in SE London, and am preparing for my flight to Cusco on Sunday.. Will stay in Urubamba mainly, but on my way to the jungle for 4 days on the 1st.. Whey the "sexy woman" stones might not be made of concrete is because of the scoop marks. They look made with ease and you really would need to wait to work on the stones until they hardened. With those sizes of stones the weight on the bottom part and the hemp bag is incredible and I wonder what it would do to hemp fabric. I did cast some walls last year and even 12/18mm plywood bent like mad and I had to hurry and put more support in. The walls are like 20cm/8 inch thick, i.e. far smaller than these stones. Happy Bear Hug - hope I find time to walk up to Saqsaywaman again in the next weeks - and some other sites.
@Dawson Davis We are all on the same side - eternal sparks of consciousness having an experience. After digging for a while they have found open stretches of tunnels, i.e. they did not dig them out but found real tunnels. In addition, the side tunnels were always closed by a dry wall (stacked rocks), i.e. digging along they found side tunnels separated by these dry walls. And that energy is not found on other mountain/hill tops - they tested the surrounding hills and didn't find any. Also they found some artifacts (although I am not convinced that all are artificial, some might not) - please look up the relevant videos. Here a newer one I have not fully watched myself: th-cam.com/video/KuCliKfcvw8/w-d-xo.html I am not against the idea of concrete (although the inca did not have it - would be weird that they don't use it for the smaller stones but use clay instead). All I am saying is that there are also other methods to make stone soft (sonic resonance/growing stone (stones are growing - look up "Trovants") and having worked with concrete myself a lot, the sheer weight of the liquid concrete might be too much for the hemp. This would need to be tested. Perhaps it is possible, perhaps the fabric can be removed before the concrete is fully hardened and scooped as seen on the photos. The knobs might be formed by scooping away massive amounts of the not fully hardened concrete. I have walked the area surrounding Saqsayhuaman end of March this year and found massive cut rock (I have photos of it). Basically the bed rock carved with ease. like 15m/yards long, 5m/yards tall. That's surely not concrete, but the bedrock. So if that is possible, making the stones of the sexy woman :-) should have been possible as well. We don't know and have to keep an open mind Thanks for your good wishes for my journey - I recommend it. There are nice folks in Peru and if you do it like me, i.e. work a bit alongside them, you have free accommodation. Jungle first for a bit more medicine, then Urubamba and a bit of more "sightseeing" - Ollantaytambo surely, hopefully Maccu Pichu and of course simply some mountain hikes. Happy Bear Hug
Glad you showed the ridiculous 'snake' and 'puma'. Every time I have seen guides pointing them out to tourists it has made me wince. Enjoying your videos, keep up the good work.
Ben, please, any cites or subject that peaks your interest are sure to peak ours. What you feel is worthy of your time I'm certain to find entertaining, enlightening and educational. Thank you. Until I can afford travel I live vicariously through you
Several methods of fabrication of the polygonal masonry using clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph are described in the article “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru” (DOI: 10.20944/preprints202108.0087.v7). TH-cam does not allow a direct link. Search by the article title.
I’m sorry but are you suggesting that because scale replicas were made in clay, that has any bearing on the absolutely precision and massive scale of the actual polygonal masonry scattered throughout 5 continents?
@@shawnsk7447 Did you read the article? Search for the 7th edition (7th version) of the article at Preprints website by title or by DOI 10.20944/preprints202108.0087.v7.
None of which was available to Incas at the time. I love how people will go above and beyond to grasp at straws, lol. What’s wrong with looking at this with an open mind that maybe the Incas didn’t build it? Ya know, LIKE THEY SAID THEY DIDNT.
8:38 - 10:00 thanks for explaining that so well. Not everyone has a logical brain. Most people get stuck on patriotic history, egocentric views, mainstream government sponsored tours and education. They don't take the time to question anything.
I'm just getting into this video, but I want to thank you so much for showing us these types of sites. I have only been introduced to these based on things from Forrester, Hancock, and "Ancient Astronauts" type perceptions and what they have allowed us to see of these sites. I appreciate being able to see more of a whole picture as you present things.
No Brien THANK YOU! and to Graham and Ben. To all those fine people that are trying to reveal the mysteries of the past and not just accept what's in our propaganda textbooks at school🙏
I can't begin to relate how much I appreciate the objective view. You sir have a most excellent method of seeing things as they are, not what you wish them to be.
As soon as I seen your 1st video I subscribed. You offer real info and possible answers not conjecture. Anytime you leave the country, please post your videos as I dont get to travel as you do. Keep up the great work!!!😊😊😊
Thanks again for this video . It is like travelling with you ! Yes, indeed, if you have time, I'd like to discover the Kilimandjaro area ! Cheers, Vincent (Antwerp, Belgium)
I have a real curiosity for the Peruvian and south American cultures and sites, super interesting. Thanks for the stuff, the classifications and styles are some good work. Nicely done brother. Great work.
Definitely put something together from your other adventures Ben. It will round out who you are as a person and add a lot of added interest to what is already a fantastic channel. Thanks for doing this.
Ben I've been going through your videos from most recent to, well I'm here on this one.. you're fantastic and your work is so important. But I paused about 5:45 seconds in to type this and say yes I would personally love if you uploaded exploration and adventure videos in addition to your regular mind expanding content. Keep igniting people's curiosity, thirst for adventure, and never ending quest for knowledge 🙌🏻
Been thoroughly intrigued with the Maya, Inca...South Americas' hidden Cities. They obviously discovered these site's, the same way as we did. Reclaimed it. Re Purposed it! Used It.
Your channel is amazing. I find this all very fascinating but it’s very hard to find someone talking about it that doesn’t jump in head first and go to far. You seems like a very intelligent and level headed guy that puts evidence first. I’m so happy I found your channel, good luck in the future!
Great stuff, glad to see another site get the attention it deserves. Looking forward to these and I will add them to my saved playlist on my channel. Nubbed polygonal architecture is a true mystery. The physical evidence is fantastical, so we must be open to entertaining fantastical tools/methods being responsible. The Sacred Valley appears to be a center/home base for the ancient engineers. The nubbed architecture exhibited there is the strangest and most-impressive. Also like you pointed out, the nubbed architecture of the Peruvian region all seems very similar to each other. While i have no doubt that the same nubbed architecture tech/method was used in the old world as well, in Peru it appears wholly "theirs" and made for their purposes. Peruvian nubbed architecture appears to be primary, original, a/the source, a point of origin. Zone X like you mention seems like a point of emergence. There are bedrock nubs there, like at Ollantaytambo and on the hitching post of the sun at Machu picchu. The most impressive, strangest examples of nubbed architecture seem to originate in Peru. If it wasn't a point of origin, it was certainly a radical expression of the old world nubbed architecture. My gut tells me it started in Peru. The Coricancha temples look like plain versions of Egyptian temples. There is a platform in Peru at Huanaco Pampa that has the overhanging coping stones like Egyptian temples. I will tweet you the photos. Thanks as always Ben.
You should Ben. I have to say I get a little envious of your adventures but your content is an amazing insight in to these places. The next best thing.
Thanks Ben, another sensible take on things. Not knocking the guides, but they have to draw a crowd to make a living, and that said, it’s nice to see myth building actually taking place. I wish someone would address what, for me, is the elephant in the room.... Sacsayhuaman is high up, winters have high winds and snow. Why go to such great lengths to build these places which have oversized door gaps perfectly formed yet no doors? Window gaps and no windows? No indentations whatsoever into the door and window lintels that would show us how they made these sites ‘comfortable’. Same at Macchu Picchu. It’s a big stretch to imagine people actually living there day to day with any degree of comfort. All this superb design and no fireplaces? Heavy rain driving through door and window gaps day after day night after night? Your work is lining up with that of both Michael Cremo and Mario Buildreps. Thank you. Fascinating stuff.👍
Greeting's , Excellent video as usual. I watched a video recently that stated that a prior civilization (Atlantean) cataclysm survivors, decided to build with megalithic stone to withstand another such event. Atlantean or not they did great work. To have seen these sites in their heyday is a frequent dream of mine. Thank you and be safe. P.S. sent a 'tip' be well.
What an amazing ancient site...and when i hear you say there's only 1/3 of the original construction that survived human egocentric stupidity, man, it's even more breathtaking to me now. I defenetly need to visit Peru & Egypt if i want to die as an happy man... Excellent presentation once again, your work means a lot, thank you Ben. By the way, i've just signed up and became your patron no.83, 9$ a month is not much but that's probably like 13$ canadian🤣 Thanks again, i'll see you on the next one, Peace.👊
Your videos are works of art. You put so much critical thought into every one. I appreciate everything you are doing here. Side note: if you are hiking and recording it you could release them on another channel. Like Uncharted Adventures or expeditions. Keep it up!
I would enjoy seeing all your travels… I am disabled and will never be able to climb mountains.., so I would love to see them… you seem smart and very wise for your youth…
Wow, thank you so much for this great video. It was really touching when you talked about the Spanish robbing you and I of this important history of the past. Thanks Uncharted X
Very good. Keep them factual and concise. Context and perspective is important to avoid propaganda and whacky speculation. Thanks for the work. Is there a map overlay of the bits of ancient megalithic structures around Cuzco. Perhaps a clue as to the use or outline of the lost total? As a builder, when I see these very heavy stone structures I see foundations to much larger edifices. Are we merely seeing the basement remains ?
Yeah, to me it's always been like finding shapes in the clouds. Humans are naturally adept at pattern recognition so that's why it's super easy to do things like find shapes in the clouds and things of that nature. In fact, you can't really even turn that part of your brain off; it just happens naturally.
Good work. Would be good to see your thoughts without recourse to Forester. Also would be interested in Backpacking or mountain videos. Keep up the good work!
Just got back from Peru.. went to Pisaq, Ollyantaytambo & Machu Picchu.. went to Rainbow mountain instead of spending a bunch of time walking g around Cuzco. Was very happy I went out of my way to visit Saqsayhuaman in the last hours I had before flying back to Lima... I knew I'd kick myself later If I didn't go. Really incredible place!
I love your documentaries. The presentation is filled with logic and facts. Never once do drive off the rails with speculative conclusions. There is no need to go to 👽 or Atlantis. The very fact of the existence of these megalithic stones is astonishing in it self.
12:34 That is a core stone covered with a coating, separating from its 'core stone'? Have you found/looked inside other broken blocks? Thanks, for thinking about this too.
So glad you don't see the shapes also. I think that's just a bunch of tourist trash talk. Please do me a favor when you go to sites, film some footage of the foundation work. And some farther away shots, so us broke folks that will never get to go there can get a better over all look. Thanks for the vid, excellent as always.
@@staycurious0815 lmao yep same for me, I'm so glad someone else see's the same thing I do. I have worked in tourist traps, oh I mean tourist areas, and we were told what shapes and what things, and showed how to point the items out, in training. The sad thing is maybe 1 in 100 folks would not see what you told them was there, and speak up, most just go with it and agree, and are amazed at what they wouldn't have seen without you showing them.
Yep. I would like to add my two cents about more camera work at the foundation. My guess is there isn't any as most shots I've seen has stone work coming up out of the soil. Which leads me to believe some of this stuff is still buried. Seems to me that it doesn't matter where you dig in sections of Egypt or South America, something new is discovered and it's something new that cannot be explained. What's missing is the smoking gun of ancient technology, provided it is ancient technology. What was left above ground was probably carted off, taken apart, misunderstood and used for various things. What's left may be deep underground, buried, protected and preserved. By this, I don't believe in government conspiracies or any organized plot to hide the truth. It's my belief that the answers to some of this stuff may simply be buried somewhere, locked into chambers that are now deep below the surface of the Earth. What we see today at places like Sacsayhuaman may only be the top of a much larger, still buried, structure.
Thanks for the speculation tempered with skepticism. We know we don’t know the history yet it is so obvious that somebody knew how to build these walls etc. Very interesting trying to get honest clues about our past. Keep up the good work.
Yours are THE BEST megalithic videos, and I really appreciate your discussion on the morality of site destruction by the Conquistadors- it’s as outrageous as ISIS blowing up ancient Buddhist statures, and done for the same reasons...
The supposed reasoning behind the US & Saudi funded destruction of middle eastern history is not that complex. The uneducated, crater born goons operating the jackhammers are manifesting an ancient Abrahamic tenet; preventing the _worship of false idols_ .
Yes the Catholic Spanish were similar or worse than the Taliban and Al qaeda but that was 500 years ago and Europe has been forced to progress. Although the legacy of the Spanish Catholic colonialism of South America has resulted in very different outcomes to the British Protestant Colonialism of North America and Australia. Much greater miscegenation from the ultra repressed ultra horny Spanish than the repressed British colonists.
You know what I notice in these blocks.. after watching your series on the Serapeum I notice those indents in the blocks, as though they were trying to remove all the cracks from the stone. While there are cracks NOW in them, they have very similar carved out indents just like the boxes in the Serapeum. They also have those external protrusions as you mentioned in the Serapeum videos that are identical. 25:27 I can see a Puma HEAD in the rock!! Cant wait to see part 2!! I hope it goes on for more than 2 parts!!
Respect from Huddersfield pal!, your videos are well edited and always interesting and I love listening to the mainstream archeological historical record getting destroyed. It’s just ridiculous and beyond absurd that they have got no explanation for the reason for the older building mason brilliance getting worse as they evolved over time?. I think that it would be quality to get to tour with graham and Brian , take it easy pal and keep up the good work
I spotted something that no one has ever noticed before in any video that I've seen. A big game changer. I'll have to make time to write about it. We've all thought that with megalithic walls we were looking at only one technology, but I spotted what is proof that there are in fact two separate technologies, with the later one imitating the earlier one. More later.
At 13:00 he talks about Robert Schoch's theory of solar mass ejection being the cause of the disaster 12,000 years ago. I have a theory. 12,800 years ago, a meteor, or series of meteors hit the North American glacier. One large one at the Great Lakes caused massive ejections of ice boulders(Carolina Bays). Large amounts of material would have gone into orbit lowering the albedo of the planet which would plunge us back into deep glacial cold. 1200 years later a massive solar discharge hit the planet clearing the debris from orbit and causing the aurora effects noted by Schoch. The result was that we were brought out of the ice age and into this period of stable climate that has lasted ever since, with some minor fluctuations.
@Sparkle Plenty Yeah, it's pieced together, but show me where anyone else has put it together that way. I'm not trying to take credit for someone else's idea, but I've never seen it.
All the OG megalithic & ancient site researchers Who Ben knows & has learned from must be thinking "When the student surpasses the master " Looks like Ben is gaining respect & making a career for himself :) Well done grasshopper lol
Hey I've been really enjoying your videos since I discovered them! Amazingly interesting stuff! I'd love to hear about your trips, perhaps some of the major logistics involved in planning something like a Kilimanjaro expedition! Thanks
Thanks for these videos, absolutely fascinating. We know now in 2023 that the object in the centre of your galaxy, Sagittarius A* is indeed a black hole of a size equivalent to 4.15 million solar masses, it isn't a pulsar. There are many pulsars out there however and the theory of a cataclysmic event from space is certainly not out of the question. Good work.
1) I have read that some Spanish chronicles stated that the Incas themselves did not claim credit for construction, rather that the "Great Ones" or giants were responsible. The Inca were a tribe that took over an empire after collapse, or overthrew after partial collapse, of the previous rulers. But these rulers were of the same rough technological level, just a little more refined, and ruled only slightly longer than the Incas. Both of these had only done repairs, with the smaller stones that men can easily move. 2) Close analysis shows 3 distinct different styles and quality of stonework. The truly megalithic work of Sacsayhuaman, the more regular moderate sized stonework that seemed to also be called megalithic in the video, and the smaller irregular work of obvious repair. These are from 3 completely different cultures, with different capabilities likely separated by millennia.
hmm, i searched in Google Books for old books in German language. There is one text passage about a captain of a boat, named Ran or Ray. He was from Nantucket (no joke!) It is written, that he found a place in a Peruvian valley with ruins and mummies, which looked like mummies from Egypt. In the crypt, where he found the mummies, where also stuffed birds. And close to the place where huge megalithic walls. And there where carvings of giants in the rock. They wore clothes with long trains. A man and a woman. And there where also carvings of reptilians. Sounds like a conspirator theory about reptilians and giants :-) The book is from Vienna, printed in the year 1838. Very odd story. There is also a name written, where this place in a valley was. It is "Guermei". But i cannot find this place on Google maps. Furthermore it is written, that somebody drew everything which they found before it was transported to a museum in Balitmore. What do you think about this story?
@@staycurious0815 Very interesting. Anything that did not fit the narrative at the time was buried or destroyed or sold to private collectors so disappeared from further scrutiny.
@@andrewjohnston4811 Just today I read about a baby mummy from Peru with red hair and elongated skull, which is exhibited over here in Germany in a museum. the mummy comes from a private donation. Of course, the name of the donor is not stated. So even "serious" scientists cooperate with grave robbers. And nobody cares ...
13:10 Come on Brien, Paul LaViolette claims that pulsars are engineered beacons made by extraterrestrials. I love and admire the work you do because I consider it to be serious. Please keep it that way! :) Pulsars are extraordinary in many ways but also very easy to understand. I wish archaeology could be as humble as astrophysics is. Also, great video @UnchartedX. Thanks for sharing.
Finally someone making sense about this great megalithic feat of unparalleled architectural and engineering marvel. Saying the Inca built these multi-ton, perfectly cut gigantic structures with primitive hand stone tools is ludicrous beyond hilarity. Yet this fantastic lie is what the university intellectuals are required to promote. Thank you for approaching this with intelligence! My husband and I provide mystic tours of Peru, and he has had to endure the ridicule of his brain-washed tour guide community. And thank you for calling out the heinous crimes against humanity of the deliberate Spanish destruction of these world geological treasures.
Someone needs to do a video of all the monolithic sites and see if there’s some kind of alignment similarities, geometric alignment to each other, or advanced technology deployment. We need a holistic/complete picture approach to this.
13:30 They look like they were shaped by molding them. Damage from a catastrophic event he mentions comets... affected just that one rock in the wall? That's hilarious.
Part 2 coming soon! It will get into the architecture and features of Sacsayhuaman in more detail. If you like the video, please subscribe and consider supporting the channel via the value-for-value model at unchartedx.com/support !
12:00 omg its the meme pics.me.me/good-guy-die-manufacturer-puts-die-in-your-die-so-28948030.png evidence of recasting!
what i really like about your channel is that your honest as far as you can, both intentionally and in your thinking, like it pall! keep it up, were all lost in a world with complexities that cannot possably fit inside our heads completely, the attempt at reconciling the past with common sense and proper logical ideas about engineering, with no requirement that we have got it all right already or that everything we do "know" is nessesarly wrong. great videos, i love it :)
I enjoy your videos Ben. We differ in a few ways, especially in regards to religions (i.e. I'm Christian) and I believe in the young earth and flood that wiped out humanity at one point. There is no doubt in my mind though that the orthodox view of history has many things wrong and agree that many of these civilizations have inherited the work of advanced civs that were wiped out at one point. I'm not here to try and convince anyone but just to see with my eyes (because I will likely never see any of these site in person) and learn as much about the civs that you cover here. The information you give fits into my world view in many ways. Where it does not, I will just say we disagree, I will not do as many do and call it pseudo science, etc. Thanks again for your videos and I appreciate you posting them. I would also be interested in your videos that are not related to civilizations. (hiking, etc)
The fact that it's shaped like a very poor representation of a puma, is hardly different from "Face on Mars". It's an example of Pareidolia, the tendency of the human brain to superimpose order on chaos. See faces in bumpers of cars, shapes in clouds and so on. Yeah it kind of looks like a puma, it also looks like a dozen of other things, are any of those proof of its origin? And those rocks shaped like a snake or a puma? I've seen clouds that make a better representation of snakes or pumas. If you're a culture that can carve rocks so precisely: why can't you make a more exact representation, so no one doubts you intentionally represented a snake? This explanation is simply laughable. Your guides exercise their childish pareidolic tendencies. Time and time again, my experience with cognitive and behavioural science and knowledge of research methods in general allows me to unravel many claims historians have made. History isn't really a science. And it's only when we use other sciences such as exact sciences and their tools like various measuring instruments can we arrive at facts, and it's a shame that the government representatives now put up these ropes and other obstacles so that we would have difficulty applying such non-invasive tools, for example, - measure the flatness of some of these surfaces. I think that despite the denials it is obvious that such are the attempts at preserving their status quo, and the pride in their heritage that the current version of history supplies them with. And how would the ancients make sure that these shapes are built correctly when seen from the air? How high would one have to be situated to make sure something is built in the shape of a puma, and that no errors are made?
That grave yard of mangled stone's are the remains from melting. There should be many finger prints , or signs of temperature testing on them, which would tell if it's soft enough, or too hard to be cut, when too hard, it's then abandoned to the grave yard to be reprocess .
i love the shots of the local area, where people live. So much better than the usual video about a place that only shows that place and it seems so out of context
Hello Ben, I've watched tons of videos on ancient megalithic sites and I have to say that the shots you take and the videos you are presenting us with are breathtakingly superior in quality and content than any others I've seen thus far. Keep it up mate! 👍
agree
So true. This is the only guy that provides us with good footage. Everything explained and easy to see.
Other youtubers just downlod some random pictures from google.
This is what im after really.
i get so pumped when i click on one of your videos and see both 'part 1' and it being over 20 minutes, love your content and logical approach mate
My thoughts exactly lol I was just wondering when we'd get another vid
@@dancingfrogsxb1276 me too, makes sense when they are almost 30 minutes hey haha
Fantastic video to wake up to here in the UK! As always, incredible quality, wonderful scenes and I learned a lot. Thanks Ben - loved it!
Ancient Architects - Morning Matt! Yup indeed, what a great way to wake up!
Just want to say. Thanks Matt for pointing me and it seems so many others to unchartedx. Between yours and this channel I get my history fixes.
@@yodaco agreed, I'd have likely never found this channel were it not for Ancient Architects. Two of the better TH-cam channels here 👍
I was fascinated by the name, sacsayhuman.
Im delighted to have found your channel at random.
I perfer your narration over corporate productions.
Thank you, i appreciate your efforts
Your narration and script are always both engaging and informative. I always leave your videos enriched. Your Africa journey would fascinate me and I hope that you will present it soon in the future.
Very smart, well produced, and engaging.
12:30 = what looks like the best evidence of what was going on. They stacked rocks, then molded around them with some form of concrete to give a finished look.
12:30 - the damage gives the appearance of cast block work, rather than being hewn to size.
Agreed. Came here to say the same. Why didn't he make a comment about that?!
@@NerdOutWithMe I know, it makes me just short of suspicious. I wish it would be mentioned by an expert; their silence perhaps speaks for them though...
What are your thoughts, I'd be interested to know?
Just to add my laymen opinion, it looks like moisture has worked its way inside the block and then frozen, fracturing a seam, causing it to flake. I suppose it's humid/moist and probably freezes often at that altitude..?
@@5amH45lam I would agree with your idea. It also could have simply been hit by an object at any time throughout history. Either way, it's interesting to see inside and get a peek of how the stone work may have actually been done.
@@NerdOutWithMe @The ATTIC DWELLERS I don't know if you've seen this - (th-cam.com/video/HmlQz9kEHJA/w-d-xo.html - from around 11:00 onwards) the megalithic construction block material at Sacsayhuaman is discussed by an expert... Am I getting 4, or 5 when I put this '2 + 2' together??
Same.
Thanks for producing this beautiful, super interesting and informative documentary.
Brian Forrester's commentary doesn't add much to your otherwise excellent presentation.
Enjoyed your sane, succinct and credible observations/insights.
Thank you for another gem, Ben! It's refreshing to hear your viewpoint on our lost ancient technology. This is definitely something that the world needs to pay attention to. Let's forget about the latest gadgets, and instead, let's work on rewriting our history to depict ancient peoples and events of our Earth accurately. I wish I had time to practice what you're doing. Keep up the excellent work!
More quality content! I get so happy seeing a vid from you in my notifications. Can't wait for part 2!
12:38am here in Santa Rosa, California. Hungry for more. Always a pleasure to learn from you and your friends. Good on Ben.
1:13 am in Napa
Another awesome video Ben! As mentioned below, your insightful logical approach is impeccable because you maintain authentic objectivity. The accompaniment of your smooth natural vocal tone and complementary accent, makes your concise narrative absolutely top notch in every single one of your detailed video productions. Your production and delivery are above and beyond any mainstream media persona I have ever encountered. You, my friend, are a natural media host.
Carry on keeping it real!
I disagree about the authentic objectivity, Ben is definitely in the Younger Dryas cataclysm school of thought along with Hancock and Foerster.
I believe only our relative short life spans and the relative pace of historical change blinds them to the idea that their estimations of the age of the megalithic structures could be tens or hundreds or thousands of times older than the 13 to 12 thousand year age of these widespread structures.
@@andrewjohnston4811 I understand your stance. However, if one takes in to account the possibility of the type of cataclysm that is described by the Electric Universe / Thunderbolts Project (Symbols of an Alien Sky) it is plausible that all "dating" of history is wrong. The age of the Earth (and etc.) is much younger than the "dating" methods "seem" to reveal.
Ben, Brien and Hancock rely on the story that the "evidence" suggests - but if the Thunderbolts Project explanation is true - Plasma would have basically "burnt" everything - and rendered a more recent event - to display dating results to suggest much older events.
Thank you for digging into this topic. That is one of the megaliths I don't see as much research on that I've been meaning to research. How they moved those massive blocks of stone up there from so far away and fit them together so perfectly at that weight is insane to think about.
Another quality, informative, open-minded documentary. Can't wait for your next video. Love your work.
When I look at Sacsayhuaman's zig-zag rows of huge boulders (stacked when softened by technology lost to us, and moved perhaps by sound, also lost.
It shows by the swollen faces of the stones--like buns baked in a small pan so they touch and press against one another as they bake...they push out in the same way. And they have poke holes, just like buns at a table, hungry dinner guests checking to be sure they're done.) Anyway, they could have had smaller rocks as stairs to upper level homes or wooden stairs, ladders... Upper stories may have used roofs of lower stories in front of them. Even a front walk in front of the wooden structures...
Each zig-zag is a separate unit, a wooden wall would run between boulders to divide units. A minimum of 50 to 60 units, more if ground-level ones were built in front of the 1st row of boulders. The boulders on the bottom level would provide the rear wall... The zig-zags were only here, so they may have proved valuable to identify each separate unit.
If the Spaniards filled in the dirt, as one doc said, trying to hide the megalithic structures, they could have been basements, even storage for grains--stones fir so closely, nothing can get in there... Each unit would have had a view, windows in the wood structures, the boulders holding upper stories. And front doors...
The units would face the open community field in front of them--a lawn for kids to play, and organized sports for those older. They may have had small kitchen gardens in front of homes, there could have been a bazaar for all the people to sell goods... And to the left, you can see another valley, perfect for farming, water draining down to crops from higher elevations where homes sit in cooler air...
Great video Ben! I couldn't agree more regarding your comments on the shapes many guides and historians claim represent animals etc. The original builders where highly skilled master stonemasons and artisans, and would have been well and truly beyond capable of shaping the blocks far more accurately so as to be noticeable if they were truly multi purposing with this intent. Much like the shapes at Nazca and many other historic sites and temples, if you want something to be truly noticed, you tend to create it to be very definitive, rather than vaguely obscure.
Excellent video and a very thoughtful examination of the evidence! The mystery is how a civilization so advanced to be able to produce the fantastic stone works did not leave a written record, actual writing or even pictorial symbols.
Written records have been destroyed in many other known cases by natural disaster or by invaders.
Ben, IMHO you're the best on the subject at present. Many thanks and best wishes.
That guy is seeing Pumas everywhere. lol I'm not buying it, these people are seeing what they want to see. I used to do hardscaping and working with stone is nothing to laugh at. There is no amount of money that would have convinced us to attempt and replicate anything like this. To attribute this to the Inca is ridiculous especially when you can see the poor repair work all over the place. People that dismiss this and wonder what the big deal is has never tried to cut a piece of granite. Even to shape a countertop where the thickness is 1.5 inches will kick your ass and that's using a diamond tip heavy-duty grinder not a chisel and hammer.
@Dawson Davis That may be true of the much smaller smooth walls in town but not of the gigantic Sacsayhuamen stones.
@Dawson Davis If that is the case then it again was not done by the Inca, as obviously they did not have concrete.
There is also the idea of using some sonic device to soften stone. Or, as brought forward by Sylvie Ivanova from the newearth channel, the stones might have been grown.
Carving seems really odd, looking at the shapes.
I've been in the area end of March and walked further up the "hills". That stuff is everywhere and I found a wall where one stone was moved.
They really fit perfectly to the other surrounding stones, i.e. the whole surface fits perfectly.
Whatever one thinks how it was done - it is puzzling to say the least.
@Dawson Davis Do you know the "Bosnian Pyramids"? Looks like they are at least 20.000 years old and made of some special concrete with far better properties than our modern one.
I wish no money would be spent on wars and all the other insanity but used for researching all these things. So many places waiting for excavations etc.
So obvious that the rulers of earth do not want us to know our true history.
@Dawson Davis The Ravne tunnels are undisputed, so it gives the idea of the pyramids some credibility.
Also the beam of energy from the top of the pyramid of the sun seems to be real, as 4 independent entities measured it.
Originally from Austria, I am sitting here in SE London, and am preparing for my flight to Cusco on Sunday..
Will stay in Urubamba mainly, but on my way to the jungle for 4 days on the 1st..
Whey the "sexy woman" stones might not be made of concrete is because of the scoop marks.
They look made with ease and you really would need to wait to work on the stones until they hardened.
With those sizes of stones the weight on the bottom part and the hemp bag is incredible and I wonder what it would do to hemp fabric.
I did cast some walls last year and even 12/18mm plywood bent like mad and I had to hurry and put more support in.
The walls are like 20cm/8 inch thick, i.e. far smaller than these stones.
Happy Bear Hug - hope I find time to walk up to Saqsaywaman again in the next weeks - and some other sites.
@Dawson Davis We are all on the same side - eternal sparks of consciousness having an experience.
After digging for a while they have found open stretches of tunnels, i.e. they did not dig them out but found real tunnels. In addition, the side tunnels were always closed by a dry wall (stacked rocks), i.e. digging along they found side tunnels separated by these dry walls.
And that energy is not found on other mountain/hill tops - they tested the surrounding hills and didn't find any.
Also they found some artifacts (although I am not convinced that all are artificial, some might not) - please look up the relevant videos.
Here a newer one I have not fully watched myself: th-cam.com/video/KuCliKfcvw8/w-d-xo.html
I am not against the idea of concrete (although the inca did not have it - would be weird that they don't use it for the smaller stones but use clay instead).
All I am saying is that there are also other methods to make stone soft (sonic resonance/growing stone (stones are growing - look up "Trovants") and having worked with concrete myself a lot, the sheer weight of the liquid concrete might be too much for the hemp. This would need to be tested.
Perhaps it is possible, perhaps the fabric can be removed before the concrete is fully hardened and scooped as seen on the photos. The knobs might be formed by scooping away massive amounts of the not fully hardened concrete.
I have walked the area surrounding Saqsayhuaman end of March this year and found massive cut rock (I have photos of it). Basically the bed rock carved with ease. like 15m/yards long, 5m/yards tall.
That's surely not concrete, but the bedrock.
So if that is possible, making the stones of the sexy woman :-) should have been possible as well.
We don't know and have to keep an open mind
Thanks for your good wishes for my journey - I recommend it. There are nice folks in Peru and if you do it like me, i.e. work a bit alongside them, you have free accommodation.
Jungle first for a bit more medicine, then Urubamba and a bit of more "sightseeing" - Ollantaytambo surely, hopefully Maccu Pichu and of course simply some mountain hikes.
Happy Bear Hug
Absolutely amazing, the quality of your videos just keeps getting better, good stuff Ben!
Glad you showed the ridiculous 'snake' and 'puma'. Every time I have seen guides pointing them out to tourists it has made me wince.
Enjoying your videos, keep up the good work.
Ben, please, any cites or subject that peaks your interest are sure to peak ours. What you feel is worthy of your time I'm certain to find entertaining, enlightening and educational. Thank you. Until I can afford travel I live vicariously through you
As with everything you do - brilliant.
Top notch filming, editing and text. It makes me want to go there so much!!! Inteligently build doc. as always. Keep it up Ben
Thank you for another level headed, methodical and exceptionally well put together video my dude. I am very much looking forward to part 2 :)
Several methods of fabrication of the polygonal masonry using clay/gypsum replicas, a topography translator, and reduced clay models of the stone blocks along with a 3D-pantograph are described in the article “Fabrication methods of the polygonal masonry of large tightly-fitted stone blocks with curved surface interfaces in megalithic structures of Peru” (DOI: 10.20944/preprints202108.0087.v7). TH-cam does not allow a direct link. Search by the article title.
I’m sorry but are you suggesting that because scale replicas were made in clay, that has any bearing on the absolutely precision and massive scale of the actual polygonal masonry scattered throughout 5 continents?

Please show the other sides of the megalithic walls in Cusco and elsewhere.
I will, part 2 will focus on the architecture much more.
I'm just getting into this video, but I want to thank you so much for showing us these types of sites. I have only been introduced to these based on things from Forrester, Hancock, and "Ancient Astronauts" type perceptions and what they have allowed us to see of these sites. I appreciate being able to see more of a whole picture as you present things.
Your videos are incredible Ben I can’t wait for part 2!
Cheers Ben.
No Brien THANK YOU! and to Graham and Ben. To all those fine people that are trying to reveal the mysteries of the past and not just accept what's in our propaganda textbooks at school🙏
👍
I can't begin to relate how much I appreciate the objective view. You sir have a most excellent method of seeing things as they are, not what you wish them to be.
Thankyou! I definitely try to be objective, however as a regular human being i'm sure I'm not without my biases.
As soon as I seen your 1st video I subscribed. You offer real info and possible answers not conjecture. Anytime you leave the country, please post your videos as I dont get to travel as you do. Keep up the great work!!!😊😊😊
Thanks again for this video . It is like travelling with you ! Yes, indeed, if you have time, I'd like to discover the Kilimandjaro area ! Cheers, Vincent (Antwerp, Belgium)
Great quality, as always. Looking forward to part two!
I have a real curiosity for the Peruvian and south American cultures and sites, super interesting. Thanks for the stuff, the classifications and styles are some good work. Nicely done brother. Great work.
Definitely put something together from your other adventures Ben. It will round out who you are as a person and add a lot of added interest to what is already a fantastic channel. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks!
Great video, Would love to see videos covering your other travels too!
Ben I've been going through your videos from most recent to, well I'm here on this one.. you're fantastic and your work is so important. But I paused about 5:45 seconds in to type this and say yes I would personally love if you uploaded exploration and adventure videos in addition to your regular mind expanding content. Keep igniting people's curiosity, thirst for adventure, and never ending quest for knowledge 🙌🏻
Thanks for providing a frank appraisal of a controversal topic.
Been thoroughly intrigued with the Maya, Inca...South Americas' hidden Cities. They obviously discovered these site's, the same way as we did. Reclaimed it. Re Purposed it! Used It.
Your channel is amazing. I find this all very fascinating but it’s very hard to find someone talking about it that doesn’t jump in head first and go to far. You seems like a very intelligent and level headed guy that puts evidence first. I’m so happy I found your channel, good luck in the future!
Great stuff, glad to see another site get the attention it deserves. Looking forward to these and I will add them to my saved playlist on my channel.
Nubbed polygonal architecture is a true mystery. The physical evidence is fantastical, so we must be open to entertaining fantastical tools/methods being responsible.
The Sacred Valley appears to be a center/home base for the ancient engineers. The nubbed architecture exhibited there is the strangest and most-impressive. Also like you pointed out, the nubbed architecture of the Peruvian region all seems very similar to each other.
While i have no doubt that the same nubbed architecture tech/method was used in the old world as well, in Peru it appears wholly "theirs" and made for their purposes. Peruvian nubbed architecture appears to be primary, original, a/the source, a point of origin. Zone X like you mention seems like a point of emergence. There are bedrock nubs there, like at Ollantaytambo and on the hitching post of the sun at Machu picchu.
The most impressive, strangest examples of nubbed architecture seem to originate in Peru. If it wasn't a point of origin, it was certainly a radical expression of the old world nubbed architecture.
My gut tells me it started in Peru. The Coricancha temples look like plain versions of Egyptian temples. There is a platform in Peru at Huanaco Pampa that has the overhanging coping stones like Egyptian temples. I will tweet you the photos.
Thanks as always Ben.
Great job!! Cool to see Mr. Foerster and Mr.Hancock in the video!!
God dang, if I do not love your presentation, dialogue and delivery. You sir are doing awesome work! Please keep it up in 2020!
Great video. I’d love to see some of your other adventures Ben. All of these places are breathtaking regardless of their historical significance. 👍
Thanks Kevin! I think I will do a couple on Africa, been wanting to for quite some time.
You should Ben. I have to say I get a little envious of your adventures but your content is an amazing insight in to these places. The next best thing.
Thanks Ben, another sensible take on things. Not knocking the guides, but they have to draw a crowd to make a living, and that said, it’s nice to see myth building actually taking place.
I wish someone would address what, for me, is the elephant in the room....
Sacsayhuaman is high up, winters have high winds and snow. Why go to such great lengths to build these places which have oversized door gaps perfectly formed yet no doors? Window gaps and no windows? No indentations whatsoever into the door and window lintels that would show us how they made these sites ‘comfortable’. Same at Macchu Picchu. It’s a big stretch to imagine people actually living there day to day with any degree of comfort. All this superb design and no fireplaces? Heavy rain driving through door and window gaps day after day night after night? Your work is lining up with that of both Michael Cremo and Mario Buildreps. Thank you. Fascinating stuff.👍
Greeting's , Excellent video as usual. I watched a video recently that stated that a prior
civilization (Atlantean) cataclysm survivors, decided to build with megalithic stone to withstand another such event. Atlantean or not they did great work. To have seen these sites in their heyday is a frequent dream of mine. Thank you and be safe. P.S.
sent a 'tip' be well.
Thank you!
Cheers
What an amazing ancient site...and when i hear you say there's only 1/3 of the original construction that survived human egocentric stupidity, man, it's even more breathtaking to me now. I defenetly need to visit Peru & Egypt if i want to die as an happy man...
Excellent presentation once again, your work means a lot, thank you Ben.
By the way, i've just signed up and became your patron no.83, 9$ a month is not much but that's probably like 13$ canadian🤣 Thanks again, i'll see you on the next one, Peace.👊
Very nice. Well written, thoughtful commentary. You da bomb Y'all.
Brilliant as always. I love all your work. Thank you. X
Going here this afternoon! Thanks Ben!
Awesome stuff again, loving it..
Great work 👍
06:25 this statement made me like and respect you even more, mr. Ben.
This is an amazing channel. Excellent work.
Your videos are works of art. You put so much critical thought into every one. I appreciate everything you are doing here. Side note: if you are hiking and recording it you could release them on another channel. Like Uncharted Adventures or expeditions. Keep it up!
I would enjoy seeing all your travels… I am disabled and will never be able to climb mountains.., so I would love to see them… you seem smart and very wise for your youth…
Wow, thank you so much for this great video. It was really touching when you talked about the Spanish robbing you and I of this important history of the past. Thanks Uncharted X
Very good. Keep them factual and concise. Context and perspective is important to avoid propaganda and whacky speculation. Thanks for the work. Is there a map overlay of the bits of ancient megalithic structures around Cuzco. Perhaps a clue as to the use or outline of the lost total? As a builder, when I see these very heavy stone structures I see foundations to much larger edifices. Are we merely seeing the basement remains ?
I think so. In some cases we're only seeing the foundation, I'll talk more about that in part 2.
Facts haha first thing he says is the blocks are limestone - guys a cook
Why does everybody show that “snake” in the wall in Cusco? Every row of stones is a “snake”, it’s just plain foolish.
Yeah, to me it's always been like finding shapes in the clouds. Humans are naturally adept at pattern recognition so that's why it's super easy to do things like find shapes in the clouds and things of that nature. In fact, you can't really even turn that part of your brain off; it just happens naturally.
Ya. Or mainstream archeologists labeling everything a temple or sarcophagus .
Good work. Would be good to see your thoughts without recourse to Forester. Also would be interested in Backpacking or mountain videos. Keep up the good work!
Just got back from Peru.. went to Pisaq, Ollyantaytambo & Machu Picchu.. went to Rainbow mountain instead of spending a bunch of time walking g around Cuzco. Was very happy I went out of my way to visit Saqsayhuaman in the last hours I had before flying back to Lima... I knew I'd kick myself later If I didn't go. Really incredible place!
I love your documentaries. The presentation is filled with logic and facts. Never once do drive off the rails with speculative conclusions. There is no need to go to 👽 or Atlantis. The very fact of the existence of these megalithic stones is astonishing in it self.
12:34 That is a core stone covered with a coating, separating from its 'core stone'?
Have you found/looked inside other broken blocks? Thanks, for thinking about this too.
Yes I also wondered that...
So glad you don't see the shapes also. I think that's just a bunch of tourist trash talk.
Please do me a favor when you go to sites, film some footage of the foundation work. And some farther away shots, so us broke folks that will never get to go there can get a better over all look.
Thanks for the vid, excellent as always.
You'll see more of that in Part 2, you'll pretty much get to see all the footage I have
Agree with the shapes. Seeing faces in things is called "pareidolia". And this shape of Cusco looks to me more like a crocodile, then a puma :-)))
@@staycurious0815 Thanks, new word I didn't know!
@@staycurious0815 lmao yep same for me, I'm so glad someone else see's the same thing I do.
I have worked in tourist traps, oh I mean tourist areas, and we were told what shapes and what things, and showed how to point the items out, in training.
The sad thing is maybe 1 in 100 folks would not see what you told them was there, and speak up, most just go with it and agree, and are amazed at what they wouldn't have seen without you showing them.
Yep. I would like to add my two cents about more camera work at the foundation. My guess is there isn't any as most shots I've seen has stone work coming up out of the soil. Which leads me to believe some of this stuff is still buried. Seems to me that it doesn't matter where you dig in sections of Egypt or South America, something new is discovered and it's something new that cannot be explained. What's missing is the smoking gun of ancient technology, provided it is ancient technology. What was left above ground was probably carted off, taken apart, misunderstood and used for various things. What's left may be deep underground, buried, protected and preserved. By this, I don't believe in government conspiracies or any organized plot to hide the truth. It's my belief that the answers to some of this stuff may simply be buried somewhere, locked into chambers that are now deep below the surface of the Earth. What we see today at places like Sacsayhuaman may only be the top of a much larger, still buried, structure.
Aye , there's something we are definitely missing in the construction of these there walls ! Looks a nice place.
Thanks for the speculation tempered with skepticism. We know we don’t know the history yet it is so obvious that somebody knew how to build these walls etc. Very interesting trying to get honest clues about our past. Keep up the good work.
Yours are THE BEST megalithic videos, and I really appreciate your discussion on the morality of site destruction by the Conquistadors- it’s as outrageous as ISIS blowing up ancient Buddhist statures, and done for the same reasons...
The supposed reasoning behind the US & Saudi funded destruction of middle eastern history is not that complex. The uneducated, crater born goons operating the jackhammers are manifesting an ancient Abrahamic tenet; preventing the _worship of false idols_ .
Yes the Catholic Spanish were similar or worse than the Taliban and Al qaeda but that was 500 years ago and Europe has been forced to progress. Although the legacy of the Spanish Catholic colonialism of South America has resulted in very different outcomes to the British Protestant Colonialism of North America and Australia.
Much greater miscegenation from the ultra repressed ultra horny Spanish than the repressed British colonists.
Really great video, I think this one is my new favorite!
I visited and explored Peru in 2017, unbelievable experience, and not that expensive, surprisingly ✌🏽❤️
Brien , cool guy....
He knows what's up .
Can't wait to get down there .
Great channel , thanks dude.
You know what I notice in these blocks.. after watching your series on the Serapeum I notice those indents in the blocks, as though they were trying to remove all the cracks from the stone. While there are cracks NOW in them, they have very similar carved out indents just like the boxes in the Serapeum. They also have those external protrusions as you mentioned in the Serapeum videos that are identical. 25:27 I can see a Puma HEAD in the rock!! Cant wait to see part 2!! I hope it goes on for more than 2 parts!!
love how YT notifications still works for ur channel.

Ben, I love your channel. Great work!
Respect from Huddersfield pal!, your videos are well edited and always interesting and I love listening to the mainstream archeological historical record getting destroyed. It’s just ridiculous and beyond absurd that they have got no explanation for the reason for the older building mason brilliance getting worse as they evolved over time?. I think that it would be quality to get to tour with graham and Brian , take it easy pal and keep up the good work
I spotted something that no one has ever noticed before in any video that I've seen. A big game changer. I'll have to make time to write about it. We've all thought that with megalithic walls we were looking at only one technology, but I spotted what is proof that there are in fact two separate technologies, with the later one imitating the earlier one. More later.
At 13:00 he talks about Robert Schoch's theory of solar mass ejection being the cause of the disaster 12,000 years ago. I have a theory. 12,800 years ago, a meteor, or series of meteors hit the North American glacier. One large one at the Great Lakes caused massive ejections of ice boulders(Carolina Bays). Large amounts of material would have gone into orbit lowering the albedo of the planet which would plunge us back into deep glacial cold. 1200 years later a massive solar discharge hit the planet clearing the debris from orbit and causing the aurora effects noted by Schoch. The result was that we were brought out of the ice age and into this period of stable climate that has lasted ever since, with some minor fluctuations.
@Sparkle Plenty Yeah, it's pieced together, but show me where anyone else has put it together that way. I'm not trying to take credit for someone else's idea, but I've never seen it.
@Jim Walker , ELECTRIC UNIVERSE has much to say regarding the last destructive event.See THUNDERBOLTS PROJECT very interesting. be well.
All the OG megalithic & ancient site researchers Who Ben knows & has learned from must be thinking "When the student surpasses the master " Looks like Ben is gaining respect & making a career for himself :) Well done grasshopper lol
it is a two way street. Ben - it's 'Foerster' not _"Forester"_

17:06 Man those hills look fricken steep. Guessing it's easy to get puffed out walking up there ?
Loved it. Thank you Ben.
Cheers.
Hey I've been really enjoying your videos since I discovered them! Amazingly interesting stuff!
I'd love to hear about your trips, perhaps some of the major logistics involved in planning something like a Kilimanjaro expedition! Thanks
Thanks for these videos, absolutely fascinating. We know now in 2023 that the object in the centre of your galaxy, Sagittarius A* is indeed a black hole of a size equivalent to 4.15 million solar masses, it isn't a pulsar. There are many pulsars out there however and the theory of a cataclysmic event from space is certainly not out of the question. Good work.
I share your scepticism about the intent behind these so-called animal shapes. Pareidolia can get cringy some times.
Your effort here is appreciated
Great video, thanks Ben, keep up the good work!
1) I have read that some Spanish chronicles stated that the Incas themselves did not claim credit for construction, rather that the "Great Ones" or giants were responsible. The Inca were a tribe that took over an empire after collapse, or overthrew after partial collapse, of the previous rulers. But these rulers were of the same rough technological level, just a little more refined, and ruled only slightly longer than the Incas. Both of these had only done repairs, with the smaller stones that men can easily move.
2) Close analysis shows 3 distinct different styles and quality of stonework. The truly megalithic work of Sacsayhuaman, the more regular moderate sized stonework that seemed to also be called megalithic in the video, and the smaller irregular work of obvious repair.
These are from 3 completely different cultures, with different capabilities likely separated by millennia.
I'll get into those styles in part 2
hmm, i searched in Google Books for old books in German language. There is one text passage about a captain of a boat, named Ran or Ray. He was from Nantucket (no joke!) It is written, that he found a place in a Peruvian valley with ruins and mummies, which looked like mummies from Egypt. In the crypt, where he found the mummies, where also stuffed birds. And close to the place where huge megalithic walls. And there where carvings of giants in the rock. They wore clothes with long trains. A man and a woman. And there where also carvings of reptilians. Sounds like a conspirator theory about reptilians and giants :-)
The book is from Vienna, printed in the year 1838.
Very odd story. There is also a name written, where this place in a valley was. It is "Guermei". But i cannot find this place on Google maps. Furthermore it is written, that somebody drew everything which they found before it was transported to a museum in Balitmore. What do you think about this story?
@@staycurious0815 Very interesting. Anything that did not fit the narrative at the time was buried or destroyed or sold to private collectors so disappeared from further scrutiny.
@@andrewjohnston4811 Just today I read about a baby mummy from Peru with red hair and elongated skull, which is exhibited over here in Germany in a museum. the mummy comes from a private donation. Of course, the name of the donor is not stated. So even "serious" scientists cooperate with grave robbers. And nobody cares ...
@@staycurious0815 Hallo Cornelia, hättest du etwas ausführlichere Infos für mich. Danke und LG aus Cusco
An other great video! Thanks, Ben!
Thanks Ben! love your work, blessings and good wishes from England.
Yes make a Africa trip video, I enjoy all your work and would be glad to see other topics from you.
13:10 Come on Brien, Paul LaViolette claims that pulsars are engineered beacons made by extraterrestrials. I love and admire the work you do because I consider it to be serious. Please keep it that way! :) Pulsars are extraordinary in many ways but also very easy to understand. I wish archaeology could be as humble as astrophysics is. Also, great video @UnchartedX. Thanks for sharing.
As always, thanks for the awesome content!
Finally someone making sense about this great megalithic feat of unparalleled architectural and engineering marvel. Saying the Inca built these multi-ton, perfectly cut gigantic structures with primitive hand stone tools is ludicrous beyond hilarity. Yet this fantastic lie is what the university intellectuals are required to promote. Thank you for approaching this with intelligence! My husband and I provide mystic tours of Peru, and he has had to endure the ridicule of his brain-washed tour guide community.
And thank you for calling out the heinous crimes against humanity of the deliberate Spanish destruction of these world geological treasures.
Someone needs to do a video of all the monolithic sites and see if there’s some kind of alignment similarities, geometric alignment to each other, or advanced technology deployment. We need a holistic/complete picture approach to this.
13:30 They look like they were shaped by molding them. Damage from a catastrophic event he mentions comets... affected just that one rock in the wall? That's hilarious.
Better than any Netflix docko
Love the information. Love the intro music!
