    That was so watchable.
    Glad you pronounced that name, because my brain went dyslexic seeing it written down.

    I never get used to the butterflies that feel when I see these sites. I see myself as a priest, shaman, teacher, scientist, knight. A cosmic handyman lol. Love your work Hugh. Much love. I look forward to meeting you. My mind and soul have a huge spectrum of expression. I bring the energy or celestial fire and what others do with it is up to them.

    At two minutes into the video, there is a lizard or dragon figurine in the museum. It reminded me of the Acambaro dinosuar-type figurines.

    Xochicalco is the house of flowers. Mushrooms mate.the symbol zig zag look at the plumes either side. Thus is like the uni s in india a place to learn about Hallucination.the glyph with animal head in a trough is halkucination im sure the dots are numbers i think.
    They were proffessional trippers on a hill at night chanting waiting for something. You mentioned 21 july is that not heliacal rising of sirius. Quetzacoatl.
    Maybe that shaft of light is sirius...the sun is to easy

      Waiting to cut someone's heart out,drink their blood and stick their skull on a rack mate. Not all peace and love.

    The stone work above mural at 7:24 was clearly not done by the same people. Crude small stones with mortar over complexly cut stonework. They found it and restored it as best as they could to preserve it.

    • @defzxcv
      @defzxcv 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It even looks like they re-used chunks of stone from the original mural at the top. I doubt the image was supposed to be disjointed like that in some kind of abstract way, it was likely originally a single coherent picture that was found partially ruined and rebuilt into this.

    That bas relief of ‘Quetzalcoatl’ has a beard....no comment about that??

    • @MegalithomaniaUK

    • @kimskomars497

      MegalithomaniaUK yes, I did hear that, but I’m under the impression that technically there should be no contact or knowledge of Semitic or Caucasian bearded guys in that time frame...seems like kind of a major point... the “hall of shame” conquered chieftains bas reliefs at monte alban (Oaxaca) from I think no later than 300 a.d. also show bearded vanquished chieftains...and then of course that sunken temple near lake titicaca ... I don’t mean to sound too pointed, love your videos, think they give amazing context and info in a seemingly ruminating, ad hoc format - just wondering if those bearded bas reliefs in the americas wouldn’t benefit from ‘deeper dives’...🤔, Cheers!

      Maybe dates from 1900 a.d. ???

    Great videos. Thanks. And don't forget at the top of the temple of the feathered serpent were huge wooden racks with skulls on it. Mel Gibson's movie has an element of truth in it. They had razor sharp volcanic glass knives and wooden swords with razor sharp glass flakes in the edges. They were head choppers, like the Celts and others. Human psychology is the reason the temples and ideology is similar around the world. They were psychedelic drug users here too, therefore they had some far out ideas. A bit like " The family".

    Been here several years ago. In the middle of nowhere. The site is definitely not mayan though. For sure aztec, olmec? Not sure about that but some influences can be seen.

    nice job, but try to pronounce better the nahuatl names. Xochicalco means "where knowledge flourishes"

  • @robertle3038
    @robertle3038 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Maybe Mayan, but quite possibly Tartary.

  • @chucklakin49

    Xochicalco is NOT Mayan.

    Good presentation. Let me ask about the "rubber people". Its obviously not who they were but what they were renown for and it stuck. So what so fantastic were they making from rubber in south America. Kick balls? in part but surely there's something more. Rubber is less dense than water thereby it floats. Being impervious it also makes fantastic gasket material, no? I mean, we can prove that today. So what are the odd's these people were making vessels, rafts. Either full blown rubber rafts like we still use on ships and planes today or as gasket material in planked boats. Another possible candidate is the use for molds. We use latex rubber in our synthetic fake world of today and actually do some fine renderings of statues from latex molds and cementuous materials. With some tweaking it can be used in high heat applications. Not sure but they must have been doing something of practical importance with the material. A raft that wont sink would put you on the map and guarantee you a star in the annals of history, no? When I recently watched the movie "the Indianapolis", heartbreaking and heroic tale of our finest. I watched as millions of dollars of iron sank below the waves, the best of modern technology had to offer, failed. The best of the ancient world remained floating at the surface. Who knows.

      The Norte Chico civilisation had cotton fishing nets and lived on the coast so, who knows???

    Hugh Newman says that the Mayans built Xochicalco. Too bad the Mexicans built a modern museum near there filled with Aztec artifacts.

      You are right. I've been to Xochicalco and the Aztecs built it.
