Caral - Supe looks like an awesome place to visit.. i bet the feeling of just walking around puts you in a mind set of the ancients letting you know just how special it must truly be..
I just got back from Peru and visited Caral… I cried 🤷🏼♂️ this is my favorite place to study and learn about in all of history, so it was a big thing for me…… I was awestruck. And it was my 30th birthday! It was magical. They started the project the same year I was born! I absolutely cried when I saw the first buildings….. it was mystic, and magic, the energy I felt was unreal…. Caral was beautiful 💜
WOW.. absolutely incredible surreal and amazing.. I am fortunate enough to live in Ecuador where we also have lots of archaeology .. I plan to visit Peru next year thats for sure.. Thanks for the great video
I have traveled in Peru and it is a shame such a sacred people have been turned into a third world country we owe so much to the people who gave us the potato cultivated maze and beans and so much more most people never hear of Caral
On the bright side though, less people touring ancient sites means less wear. I know it's a shame a place doesn't get the recognition it deserves. But for the sake of preservation, it's important to keep in mind that overexposure of fragile sites like this can ultimately lead to destructive wear.
He's right. The whole history of the human species is stored in our brains but we cannot open the files as we have forgotten the password. Only from time to time we have some strange 'dreams', visions, moments of stuper when we are transfered back in time (sometimes in the future) and we wonder what happens with us!?
That's because 'someone' keeps genociding humans. DNA experts tell us that we're all descended from 33 humans. Are they the ones who hid in a cave during the extermination...or were they the chosen ones to breed the next batch of humans in?
This is a must visit site if you're into this stuff, it's so well preserved and you're up close hearing silence, to the howling of wind at times the land which makes u think walking through, what was it really like at the time. When I went as of Nov. 2023 a guide said they've only uncovered approx 9% of the site which is insane because the valley and mountains where it's located is so vast, on top of the fact that there's another location by the sea called aspero which I didn't get to go into but drove there, is some 7 to 10 miles away (could be wrong on the distance). But just that it had nothing to do with the mountainous region. Amazing to think that at some parts of the site there were land squatters there previously just sitting on priceless history... Who knows during a heavy rain what could've surfaced and discarded because it wasn't understood.

People who can clearly see the different types of stone work know that there were ancient people who had great insights and technology before earth changes.
30 years ago if you asked a scholar who the oldest civilization in the Americas were. They’d undoubtedly say the Olmec of Mexico. 30 years ago knowledge a civilization contemporary to the Pre-Dynastic Egypt and the Early-Sumerians was fledgling in Peru c. 3500 BC was unheard of. Pyramids in Peru dated to 2900 BC that’s almost too good to be true yet here it is who knows what else this world is hiding.
If you asked a scholar 30 years ago they would of mentioned ancient Sumeria and the Indus Valley. I highly doubt you could of asked a scholar such a question 30 years ago because you wouldn’t be talking this way now if you did.
This is cool...I'm always intrigued to find this but as one person put it "when did archeology stop to care about facts and start pushing fairy tales or bs?" Honestly, I wish I had an answer to that question--there are so much that we claim to know but we don't truly know. There cold be older civilizations...there could be things that we never knew with civilization.
I think we have to distinguish between the scientific work done by actual archaeologists and the way it‘s presented to the wider public in documentaries. Developing theories to later prove or disprove is part of the scientific process, but often documentaries portray theories as facts. So the fault isn‘t necessarily with the archaeologists, but rather with the media for simplifying everything in order to make it more presentable.
@@alexk7973 Also, they mostly only present 1 theory and act like other ones dont exist. Fall of Civilizations talks about their sources in detail and their validity in their documentary and also shows present theories and lets the viewer give multiple interpretation if there is lack of proof by both historical records and archeological findings. Hope more docs be like them
If people migrated to the Americas at the end of the last ice age, 12,000 years ago, because sea levels were lower and ice sheets had melted enough to allow passage, why wouldn't those same conditions exist at the beginning of the ice age?
I just finished reading graham hancock's lastest book re: the americas. Good reading, bogs down in some places with technical jargon. He not only tells his learned story of the American continent , perceived by his thousands of miles journeyed, the hundreds of interviews with local indigenous and archeologists/geologists, but also touches on how the science of archeology has/had been highjacked by elites, but is now being opened to other interpretations. This book contained information that I had never in my 15 years of armchair research had ever read about; yep my knowledge was expanded - i.e. blow my mind.
Just be careful your knowledge isn’t expanded by bullshit. Hancock’s just another pseudo historian like Van Daniken et al, who make plenty of money selling their pseudo archeological fantasies to naive, gullible folk who lap it up like lost sheep. He ain’t an idiot, he’s a charlatan.
@@johnscanlon7757 Hancock do cherry pick information to show things in line with his theories and avoid anything going against it which is not a great way of doing science. He isn't afraid of making things up either with zero evidence to back it up. So I am not impressed. We do know who built the great pyramid, in fact we do even know what many of the work teams who built it called themselves because they were rather happy to scribble it down. He talks a lot about a very advanced ice age civilization who after it's collapse moved all over the world spreading technology like agriculture but in all places agriculture popped up they used local plants to create crops instead of bringing it like happened during the age of exploration. Also, such an advanced civilization must have been able to read and write and yet the oldest writing we have is from Ur or possible the Danube valley at least 6000 years later. Something would have survived. If you were from Atlantis and built Göbekli Tepe we would expect to see some writing there. If an actual ice age civilization existed it would be far closer to Jericho and Catalahöyek instead, no writing, no pottery but they were still able to create small cities and I could easily buy such places existing before Jericho (9000 BCE), basically 2500 years before. 2500 years might sound a lot but it isn't that long and I can buy such evidence either have been flooded or are still lying under a hill somewhere. However, such a civilization is rather different from what Hancock describes. There are some evidence for it existing though, there is a 1000 year older temple with a town East of Göbekli tepe that have been excavated since 2019 and it might just be such a place (Source: www.aa.com.tr/en/culture/ancient-site-older-than-gobeklitepe-unearthed-in-turkey/1664156). So Hancock is kinda right that older unknown civilizations exist but he want them to be like Atlantis and that is not what the evidence tell us. You can't choose to ignore facts that doesn't work with your theories, that is just what Hancock accuses real archaeologists of. If I were trying to prove something like Hancock claims I would try to use genetics to prove that crops from the regions he claims were settled from his ice age civilization are related and find some written language that is at least 10 000 years because those would be smoking guns but he doesn't. likely because he himself doesn't believe such evidence exist. The oldest high technology city in the world is Ur, who had an administrative class, writing, taxes, laws and similar things. Written laws and exact taxes are very different from that whoever is in charge decide those things whenever he or she feels like it. In Catalhöyek it seems like no one was in charge even which is pretty confusing. I am all for challenging historians of their views but you can't just discard archaeological evidence because you don't like that they say. That is what those ancient aliens theorists claims and to me that is being lazy. You have to consider all the evidence and it is certainly true that historians can be pretty slow there, the Clovis first theory still have a few supporters even if it have been conclusively proven that people were in the Yucatan peninsula 21-23 000 years ago. 2 wrongs doesn't make a right though and a single case of problematica is not enough unless it is super convincing.
@@johnscanlon7757 That’s one of the oldest tricks in the fraudsters handbook. Seed your bs with little bits of truth and facts to build credibility and distract from the scam. He is really good at it and is a millionaire from selling books full of lies.
Nope, it's the opposite. Stone working techniques and architecture progressed from pre-civilized times, then, continued with the rise of urban centers like Caral-Supe , the Moche, Chimu, Tiwanaku, Nazca and others. and were at their zenith with the Inca, when the Spaniards invaded. Many of the ancient lost disappeared advanced civilization theorists assert that the most advanced came first ( in line with the idea that the knowledge of a lost culture, Like Atlantis, is responsible for the megalithic work ) and subsequent generations became less able or motivated to do refined craftsmanship. With any knowledge of the progression of skill with architecture that occurred with the pre-Columbian cultures in meso-America, it can be clearly seen that the Aztec, who, like the Inca, had learned from previous urban civilizations and were at their pinnacle when Cortez and his conquistadors showed up.
Several reasons, all centered around status, group acceptance and adhering to the permitted paradigms of humanity's past. "Forbidden archeology" is out there however, but always laughed at by the "Professionals".
@@Xiccarph1 I doubt ANY of psyence's explanations address anything real -especially anything having to do history or truth. Every war today is a fabrication and manipulation of public view. Seems to me, they want to make us think we are small, insignificant and worthless - while they plans new, creative ways, to KILL US OFF.
Isn't it obvious? There were very powerful forces in use by many ancient cultures, the weak explanations for things that don't add up are numerous. Knowledge is power and it is flaunted in the open as they find it so easy to lie endlessly virtually without challenge from ordinarys. Sheeple just accept the lies, preoccupied by countless distractions like politics, materialism and social conflicts stoked by the media. If avg folks knew the cosmic power they possess, chaos would ensue for the "elites"
Why hide our history? Can you possibly be that naive? I can think of a hundred reasons why someone may wish to hide an archeological discovery. You can't think of one reason? Not very bright.
Poking around using Google Earth, if you cross the river and head downstream (towards the ocean) there is another one of those pyramids with a ring on it. Curious to know if anyone noticed it. There are a lot of older ruins around going up and down the river as well, including a few of those larger ruins that doesn't have a ring.
Those are the older sites. The initial samples taken from those adjacent areas indicate dates from 3500 BCE to 4500 BCE but that is only for the topmost layers of which 4 have been sampled but there are up to 15 layers below the ones that have been sampled included what seems to be enormous fused rock foundations.
I would love to visit these site--more than, say, Macchu Picchu. I wonder whether these are [part of?] the Peruvian civilization mentioned in the latter part of the book (a must-read!) "1491," which that author reckons to be the second oldest (full-attested) civilization in the world--younger than Sumer but older than Egypt?
@@joeman425 False the natives are actually today. Those back then nearly went genocide with their home countries. The aboriginals of this day only have those ties. Some natives much much closer to your time have made some influence.
I would have to disagree with you, because the native dna in most people who take dna test today is still pretty high, in local areas. Certain parts are higher than others, just go watch some dna videos, Central Americans average about 50 percent native, Mexicans do as well, South Americans im not too sure, so the narrative that all the natives almost died out can be partly true depending on the region.
At one and the same time Caral is described as an "advanced" civilization and a "pre ceramic" civilization. Can both statements be true? I thought ceramics were basic to civilization. How did these people store, transport and drink water? Did they have beer or wine? If so, how were they made without ceramics?
Water was stored in puquinas many of which were connected via subterranean aqueducts. for personal totting of water hollowed out gourds were used. Chicha (fermented drink) was also made in gourds and pouched animal skins.
Glad to learn of Caral but I can't agree it is "The oldest civilization in the Americas." There is such a stark difference between the crude upper stonework of the Incas and the precise megaliths of the lower levels they were built upon that they must have been built by separate peoples far separated in time. Who were those ancient builders and what wiped out their skilled stoneworking technology that should otherwise have been passed down to the Inca empire? Were there civilizations flourishing in the now undersea areas off the present-day coast that were suddenly inundated when sea-level rose some 400 feet at the end of the last ice age? I suspect there were and that underwater archaeology will bring them to light.
Couldn't agree more. But we need a smoking gun to convince the mainstream authority. As blatantly obvious as it is to us all that the megalithic stone walls throughout Peru and all over the world for that matter make the more modern work look pedestrian, it still does not convince the mainstream. Well, it probably does but will threaten grant money if they dared stray from the dogma and indoctrinated bullshit they have been feeding us for decades.
Well said. Another thought is that those earlier civilizations (megalithics all over the world) are no longer here, either died off or have gone elsewhere.
🌄 I couldn't agree more w/what Graham and Giorgio exclaim about our amnesia, but I think maybe bonked on the noggin a couple times... We really have to reignite the child like curiosity and appreciate just simple amazing things we are discovering w/out prejudging and stupid ego about who's right + who's wrong. How about a clean slate, maybe ✌🏞🎶🌌🎸🌟🤘🌈⛥🎵🏛😎✨
Those idiots who think the Egyptians built the first structures are the second ones who think we are one of the few civilizations we are one of many and we are not advanced I think we have taken steps back
@@williambernardfranco8153 Dear Wm: You are mistaken. We are part of the 4th Civilization only. The Adamic; the Jaredites; The Nephites; and our current civilization. The Adamic is from the biblical Genesis and only lasted 602 years, Genesis from Chapter 5-12 is not correctly translated; The Jaredites (Book of Mormon) lasted about 2,530 years. The Jaredites colonized throughout our solar system; the Nephites (Book of Mormon) lasted about 1000 years;
Looks like the construction is from rubble; this is relatively recent since it is crude; the trend is that the older the rock constructions the more intricate. Caral looks like a re-settlement.
Or repairs. Clearly two different skill levels were involved. The older stone work is much more impressive, as we would most certainly not be able to recreat today.
People have been devolving; not evolving. We made all this amazing stuff, but lack wisdom. We take all that accumulated knowledge of making great things that inspire, but make utilitarian buildings, instead. We are admiring civilizations we're told were advanced, socially, though not all those "noble savages" were AS noble as we're taught. Having a close-knit homogenous society helps people cate for each other in some ways, but not others. Some attacked other villages, like those Columbus took as slaves after terrorizing the tribe originally in the Dominican Republic/Cuba island. What about inbreeding amongst isolated tribes? You have to think that is happening. That can't help the minds of a people advance.
In Caral what was dated was the Shicra bags, ornanic material underneath the pyramids. This is as solid as it gets. What's at the bottom preceeds what is on top.
It is certainly a step down from the sort of building work in Cuzco or the Titicaca area. And most likely younger, as well. This valley was still cultivatable in the conquistador era, whereas the Altiplano has been too high elevation to grow grain crops, for at least 5000 years.
There will be photos of all our civilisations. Just got to get the albums out the spaceships. Which, if they come here now, have done for ages I’ll bet. Anyway good comment.
why do we always look at prehistory from a European Mideastern lens, we view ancient American people differently, they built roads, irrigation systems, buildings and had a working calendar and artwork but when we depict these people they look like the american indian of the old western films long hair headbands in loin cloth standing around a fire, didn't they have homes to go to, and why would a civilized people have open fires in their cities, maybe we rethink how these people really lived and interacted
Because other cultures did not have much actual knowledge.....whilst they may have been beautiful in their own unique ways, our culture is vastly superior to any other that has ever come before. Would you try to interpret the dynamics of flight from an Aztec point of view? If you do then you will just fail to understand how flight actually works. This might sound arrogant and elitist, but it is also true.
They probably used hand gestures and drew things in the dirt to communicate even before they they had a sophisticated oral language. Like all ancient hominids.
I wonder how they can state as fact that the musical instruments were used for religious celebrations.Why not for entertainment. Also, how do they know that certain dwelling places were for the leaders? It seems to that other than the physical remains, anything else in pure assumption.
They clearly learnt that engineering technology from the people they considered to be "Ancient" during the time of Caral-Supe. Find the source of where that engineering started and the civilization who created it
and this video seems to resemble by appearance of the picture quality some work of the early 90's, what if we has known about this back in elementary school
"Ancient Peruvians" sounds a bit strange though. Since Peru is covering a verry big part of South America as we know it these days. Nowadays we know the people as Peruvians, because they're all living in their country, called Peru. And which covers all of this area. But hundreds and thousands years ago this same area was devided by a lot of diffrent civilisations and cultures. Like the Lima's, Nazca's, Chachapoyas, Inca's etc. Just to name a few. But nonetheless, verry interesting!
But the civilization is actually the same, a single cultural development. Today we call Egypt by that name and Greece by that name and we have no problem saying Egyptians or ancient Greeks, so why not Peruvians?
@@etchalaco9971 Well, there're actually "Greek" people who have proplems with the name "Greek" and they prefer to call themselves Hellenes. Same is with the Greek language btw.
The fact this city existed is awesome! The reasons it was buried on purpose is beyond me! Why try to hide it under mountains of rocks and dirt intentionally?
I personally think when the earth’s land mass was “Pangea” there were humans, mankind or men/women that were all living on it and that’s why these civilizations are all so similar...
Who says humans couldn’t have existed? Dinosaur were dumb and humans are very intelligent and could’ve easily survived... There is no explanation on how people of Kemet were all over the earth before any race of people...
Michael Harrison because humans evolved from mammals. Mammals were able to evolve in any significant way besides small rodent sized creature until the dinosaurs that filled the niches were extinct. If that asteroid hadn’t hit earth mammals wouldn’t have become the dominant species on earth because there would have been way too much competition from dinosaurs
The video tells us very little about the civilization, their culture, or even what the people called themselves. Presumably there is still much to learn. At least part of the purpose of the video appears to be marketing, to inspire tourism by comparing Caral-Supe with Egypt or Sumeria. There simply aren't enough artifacts or facts yet. Except for hard-core anthropologists, it looks like a tough sell.
With respect, these carals that do not master megalithic construction at all, they are certainly not the oldest civilization. They are just survivors with amnesia of the pre flood high civilization.
In Caral what was dated was the Shicra bags, organic material underneath the pyramids. This is as solid as it gets. What's at the bottom preceeds what is on top.
Another interesting thought is that the Sahara desert used to be a lush tropical paradise. If we evolved in Africa right below the Sahara desert, the first place we would’ve gone is that paradise. And it would’ve been fertile. And people are smart. If there was a civilization older than Mesopotamia that is where it would be. Now buried underneath the desert. Just an interesting thought and maybe a good discussion starter
Stop implying your assumptions are fact. just admit you don't know.you can't look at the indigenous peoples today and claim that's how I was in antiquity.
Some of those ruins are supposed to be pyramid bases. I do not understand why the world over the ancients had such a love affair with these structures. They are huge, with no apparent use.
@John Minshull Oh, they function, most definitely. You will, however, have to did a lot deeper if you want to understand more of their purpose. Academia has withheld the purpose for control reasons.
stephan dreamweaver yes I agree. And possibly South America didn’t have flooding like the northern hemisphere. We’ve been anatomically the same for at least 180,000 years, so.......
There is a 'stargate' in Caral and I know this before knowing what's Caral and where it is as I was there with my quantum replica, we all have, when I was a teenager. We ALL travel in time and space but as it happens in state of consciousness we are not inclined to analyze these 'dreams' with sound logics - we think that these are traces and combinations of segments of our every day material life. Yes, some of our dreams are quite earthly (don't know why but I never had such) but there are dreams where we ALL open doors to other realities. One day physicist, biophycists, geneticians, historians etc. should tell us sories.
@Baltimorean Adventures raw unedited content In your pockets, search carefully, though some people put it in their socks to avoid the raids of pickpockets.
Dreams explain something and every dream needs to be carefully read/ analysed... If you for instance dream of animals it tells you something If you dream of violence for instance you being shot at or attacked but don't see blood in your dream means you escaped it or so on & so on.. Keep an animal as your pet a bird/chicken or a dog or something alike a turtle or lizard because negative energies tent to harm or attack those / them ( animals) first Dream of animals a lot means you might for instance return as one of those or an other animals Dream of humans often for instance means you might return to earth as a human It is not easy to explain.. The power of positivity is overwhelming and much more positive energy/ energies surrounds us humans no a day. Good day
Back in 2011 they were still talking about everything started getting built around 5,000bc and now everything is 50,000bc or later and now all the big talk is about alien intervention.

You think the pyramids are 5000 years old.? Didn't we already agree that the Sphinx had a Luvian period . About 12000 years ago. Unless of course you know of another Ice Age.
+Jason Rees Fingerprints of the Gods Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval proved this in detail ! I cant believe that they still attribute the pyramids to the Pharaohs
I do believe the pyramids in Egypt are older than humans if not older than dinosaurs. There is the possibility that this planet was inhabited by other intelligent beings different in shape and size, that either got extinct or took off from the planet. I mean there is no reason for aliens to come here and build shit and then fuckoff or is it? Would you do that?
@@mihaiivm Read the Book " Fingerprints of the Gods" It explains in mathematical science that the Pyramids and the Sphinx were erected in 10 500 BC under the Constellation of LEO.. Hence the Leonine face of the Sphinx.. this coincides w the end of the 10 500 year long Ice age and is visible at the Water markers on the Sphinx itself.. Cheops was NOT the builder of this pyramid.. he himself inscribed in hieroglyphs that when he got to Egypt he had to dig the Sphinx out of the Sand !!!
Been saying this for years man we alot older than we know thats why people cant say the first civilization no more there was probably civilization before the ice age

There is NO PROOF that any of these structures are that old.. S Americas Pre Columbian history is vast and unknown to us because of the destruction by the conquistadores.. We have a lot we dont know thats all
Love how they say things they could not possibly know and present it as fact. Like how they say it was all accomplished by and based around controlling people through religion. What is there evidence of that besides how religion controls people now and in the more recent past.
This is no doubt important, but oldest? NFW. Remember Gobekli Teppe and Unung Padang? And what about all the inundated structures world wide on the continental shelves?
The vid is claiming oldest in the Americas, not worldwide. That being said, the correct statement should be we "believe" that this is the oldest "that we have rediscovered to date" in the Americas. We, as a species, think that we know so much when in actuality, we know very little. Btw, Gobekli Tepe is the most astounding and interesting site imho....would go volunteer for a dig season if I had the financial means to take no income for that long.

This civilization is a story of drought and excessive rain. A time of climate variability. They grew fiber crops that they traded to the coastal people to use as fishing nets in exchange for caught fish product brought inland to them. So much rain came down after periods of drought that it melted their earthen pyramids. The fish trade collapsed when previously they prayed for rains to end the drought so they could grow the fiber crops. How confoundingly fickle and tragic nature is. Noble princes were sacrificed neck cut to symbolically beckon the rains during droughts. The rains did come but washed the fiber crops away in torrents. We people are forever striving to survive and overcome natures harshest swings of extreme. Thank these times of benevolent natural stasis. Any problems we will now face would be of our own making.

@@deanhall9292 The time period was only decades and maybe hundreds of years. It would take a time period of thousands of years to create gorges. Only takes sustained decades of rainfall swing to ruin a planting civilization.

Because of harsh weather instability we will not be able to grow enough crops to sustain our present populations. Hell.

How can that be if a immense Ocean thousands of miles separated the two Continents many ages ago. If anything Ancient Civiliizations are just very interesting. The Truth is that Earth is much older then any Ancient Civiliizations.
What was the oldest civilization in America prior to this discovery? What happens when we find even older areas? I wish speculation wouldn't be presented as factual??
This is a nice promo for tourists, but I believe that the megalithic structures in Peru are much older and much more interesting. As far as oldest civilization, the Monte Verde site in Chile is 14,500 years BP and maybe as old as 38,800 years BP (Strangers in a New Land by Adovasio and Pedler). It may not be considered a "civilization" but it certainly is an ancient settlement.
Howard You get no argument from me. Those megalithic structures likely predate the Younger dryas impact and perhaps even the Older Dryas event. ( which I know nothing at all about with the exception that I've heard a discussion that it was the Older Dryas that sunk Atlantis) I thought this Tourist Promo was going to tell me something of importance about those civilizations that built the megaliths. Maybe you and I could get together and figure all that out since our minds are wide open to the unknown.
The upper layers were found to be 5000+ years old, that was the first areas exposed that had been buried for thousands of years. They still had at least 10 more layers down to dig (some say 16 layers) and each layer represented anywhere from 400 to 800 years further back in time, however as the Unesco officials arrived and declared it an official U.N. world heritage site, there was a lot of pressure being put for the diggers and researchers to not declare any further updates to the timeline that would make the site much older even though all of the evidence was pointing to that as they dug deeper. Also some artifacts were being confiscated or destroyed, primarily ones that had inscriptions on them and also ones that were shaped exactly like gears and were made out of metal.

Es un pais del tercer mundo gracias a las elites mundiales, imperialistas de mierda, como EEUU.
So true.
On the bright side though, less people touring ancient sites means less wear. I know it's a shame a place doesn't get the recognition it deserves. But for the sake of preservation, it's important to keep in mind that overexposure of fragile sites like this can ultimately lead to destructive wear.
"We are a species with amnesia"-Graham Hancock
If we only knew the artifacts that have been hidden from us (like this one )

Intended amnesia
He's right. The whole history of the human species is stored in our brains but we cannot open the files as we have forgotten the password. Only from time to time we have some strange 'dreams', visions, moments of stuper when we are transfered back in time (sometimes in the future) and we wonder what happens with us!?
That's because 'someone' keeps genociding humans. DNA experts tell us that we're all descended from 33 humans. Are they the ones who hid in a cave during the extermination...or were they the chosen ones to breed the next batch of humans in?

This is a must visit site if you're into this stuff, it's so well preserved and you're up close hearing silence, to the howling of wind at times the land which makes u think walking through, what was it really like at the time. When I went as of Nov. 2023 a guide said they've only uncovered approx 9% of the site which is insane because the valley and mountains where it's located is so vast, on top of the fact that there's another location by the sea called aspero which I didn't get to go into but drove there, is some 7 to 10 miles away (could be wrong on the distance). But just that it had nothing to do with the mountainous region. Amazing to think that at some parts of the site there were land squatters there previously just sitting on priceless history... Who knows during a heavy rain what could've surfaced and discarded because it wasn't understood.

Apparently this early civilization has our current culture beat in knowledge, but in Energy, drive, and Will, too. This info blows my mind 🤯.
Yet they disappeared. Doesn't bode well for us, does it?
30 years ago if you asked a scholar who the oldest civilization in the Americas were. They’d undoubtedly say the Olmec of Mexico. 30 years ago knowledge a civilization contemporary to the Pre-Dynastic Egypt and the Early-Sumerians was fledgling in Peru c. 3500 BC was unheard of. Pyramids in Peru dated to 2900 BC that’s almost too good to be true yet here it is who knows what else this world is hiding.
If you asked a scholar 30 years ago they would of mentioned ancient Sumeria and the Indus Valley.
I highly doubt you could of asked a scholar such a question 30 years ago because you wouldn’t be talking this way now if you did.
@@imafackinjunglistHe said Americas. Egypt and Sumeria are not in Americas.
This is cool...I'm always intrigued to find this but as one person put it "when did archeology stop to care about facts and start pushing fairy tales or bs?" Honestly, I wish I had an answer to that question--there are so much that we claim to know but we don't truly know. There cold be older civilizations...there could be things that we never knew with civilization.
I think we have to distinguish between the scientific work done by actual archaeologists and the way it‘s presented to the wider public in documentaries. Developing theories to later prove or disprove is part of the scientific process, but often documentaries portray theories as facts. So the fault isn‘t necessarily with the archaeologists, but rather with the media for simplifying everything in order to make it more presentable.
@@alexk7973 Also, they mostly only present 1 theory and act like other ones dont exist.
Fall of Civilizations talks about their sources in detail and their validity in their documentary and also shows present theories and lets the viewer give multiple interpretation if there is lack of proof by both historical records and archeological findings.
Hope more docs be like them
Awesome sound track at 8:00 minutes! I'm stealing it.
If people migrated to the Americas at the end of the last ice age, 12,000 years ago, because sea levels were lower and ice sheets had melted enough to allow passage, why wouldn't those same conditions exist at the beginning of the ice age?

I just finished reading graham hancock's lastest book re: the americas. Good reading, bogs down in some places with technical jargon. He not only tells his learned story of the American continent , perceived by his thousands of miles journeyed, the hundreds of interviews with local indigenous and archeologists/geologists, but also touches on how the science of archeology has/had been highjacked by elites, but is now being opened to other interpretations. This book contained information that I had never in my 15 years of armchair research had ever read about; yep my knowledge was expanded - i.e. blow my mind.
I just finished it as well. Great book!!!
Just be careful your knowledge isn’t expanded by bullshit. Hancock’s just another pseudo historian like Van Daniken et al, who make plenty of money selling their pseudo archeological fantasies to naive, gullible folk who lap it up like lost sheep. He ain’t an idiot, he’s a charlatan.
@@adam007ize except a lot of what Hancock said is now fact
@@johnscanlon7757 Hancock do cherry pick information to show things in line with his theories and avoid anything going against it which is not a great way of doing science. He isn't afraid of making things up either with zero evidence to back it up.
So I am not impressed. We do know who built the great pyramid, in fact we do even know what many of the work teams who built it called themselves because they were rather happy to scribble it down.
He talks a lot about a very advanced ice age civilization who after it's collapse moved all over the world spreading technology like agriculture but in all places agriculture popped up they used local plants to create crops instead of bringing it like happened during the age of exploration. Also, such an advanced civilization must have been able to read and write and yet the oldest writing we have is from Ur or possible the Danube valley at least 6000 years later. Something would have survived.
If you were from Atlantis and built Göbekli Tepe we would expect to see some writing there.
If an actual ice age civilization existed it would be far closer to Jericho and Catalahöyek instead, no writing, no pottery but they were still able to create small cities and I could easily buy such places existing before Jericho (9000 BCE), basically 2500 years before. 2500 years might sound a lot but it isn't that long and I can buy such evidence either have been flooded or are still lying under a hill somewhere.
However, such a civilization is rather different from what Hancock describes. There are some evidence for it existing though, there is a 1000 year older temple with a town East of Göbekli tepe that have been excavated since 2019 and it might just be such a place (Source: www.aa.com.tr/en/culture/ancient-site-older-than-gobeklitepe-unearthed-in-turkey/1664156).
So Hancock is kinda right that older unknown civilizations exist but he want them to be like Atlantis and that is not what the evidence tell us. You can't choose to ignore facts that doesn't work with your theories, that is just what Hancock accuses real archaeologists of.
If I were trying to prove something like Hancock claims I would try to use genetics to prove that crops from the regions he claims were settled from his ice age civilization are related and find some written language that is at least 10 000 years because those would be smoking guns but he doesn't. likely because he himself doesn't believe such evidence exist.
The oldest high technology city in the world is Ur, who had an administrative class, writing, taxes, laws and similar things. Written laws and exact taxes are very different from that whoever is in charge decide those things whenever he or she feels like it. In Catalhöyek it seems like no one was in charge even which is pretty confusing.
I am all for challenging historians of their views but you can't just discard archaeological evidence because you don't like that they say. That is what those ancient aliens theorists claims and to me that is being lazy. You have to consider all the evidence and it is certainly true that historians can be pretty slow there, the Clovis first theory still have a few supporters even if it have been conclusively proven that people were in the Yucatan peninsula 21-23 000 years ago. 2 wrongs doesn't make a right though and a single case of problematica is not enough unless it is super convincing.

The movie Idiocracy illustrates the gradual decline of intelligence which has likely been the case all along.
Nope, it's the opposite. Stone working techniques and architecture progressed from pre-civilized times, then, continued with the rise of urban centers like Caral-Supe , the Moche, Chimu, Tiwanaku, Nazca and others. and were at their zenith with the Inca, when the Spaniards invaded.
Many of the ancient lost disappeared advanced civilization theorists assert that the most advanced came first ( in line with the idea that the knowledge of a lost culture, Like Atlantis, is responsible for the megalithic work ) and subsequent generations became less able or motivated to do refined craftsmanship.
With any knowledge of the progression of skill with architecture that occurred with the pre-Columbian cultures in meso-America, it can be clearly seen that the Aztec, who, like the Inca, had learned from previous urban civilizations and were at their pinnacle when Cortez and his conquistadors showed up.

More important question.
When did archeology stop caring about facts, and start pushing fairy tales.
Why hide our history?
Several reasons, all centered around status, group acceptance and adhering to the permitted paradigms of humanity's past. "Forbidden archeology" is out there however, but always laughed at by the "Professionals".
@@Xiccarph1 I doubt ANY of psyence's explanations address anything real -especially anything having to do history or truth.
Every war today is a fabrication and manipulation of public view.
Seems to me, they want to make us think we are small, insignificant and worthless - while they plans new, creative ways, to KILL US OFF.
@@Xiccarph1
Those laughing 'professionals' can be replaced. ;)
Isn't it obvious? There were very powerful forces in use by many ancient cultures, the weak explanations for things that don't add up are numerous. Knowledge is power and it is flaunted in the open as they find it so easy to lie endlessly virtually without challenge from ordinarys. Sheeple just accept the lies, preoccupied by countless distractions like politics, materialism and social conflicts stoked by the media. If avg folks knew the cosmic power they possess, chaos would ensue for the "elites"
Why hide our history? Can you possibly be that naive? I can think of a hundred reasons why someone may wish to hide an archeological discovery. You can't think of one reason? Not very bright.
Poking around using Google Earth, if you cross the river and head downstream (towards the ocean) there is another one of those pyramids with a ring on it. Curious to know if anyone noticed it. There are a lot of older ruins around going up and down the river as well, including a few of those larger ruins that doesn't have a ring.
Its a site older than Caral named Aspero, it was like from 3700 BCE
Those are the older sites. The initial samples taken from those adjacent areas indicate dates from 3500 BCE to 4500 BCE but that is only for the topmost layers of which 4 have been sampled but there are up to 15 layers below the ones that have been sampled included what seems to be enormous fused rock foundations.
I would love to visit these site--more than, say, Macchu Picchu. I wonder whether these are [part of?] the Peruvian civilization mentioned in the latter part of the book (a must-read!) "1491," which that author reckons to be the second oldest (full-attested) civilization in the world--younger than Sumer but older than Egypt?
Yes
those round structures in the ground look like kivas and ball courts. That would tie them to the cultures of New Mexico & Arizona.
Not necessarily! Ball courts were used by the Aztecs, Maya's and, much farther back in time, by the Olmecs.
The Natives of North, Central, and South America are definitely connected there is no doubt in my mind.
@@joeman425 False the natives are actually today. Those back then nearly went genocide with their home countries. The aboriginals of this day only have those ties. Some natives much much closer to your time have made some influence.
I would have to disagree with you, because the native dna in most people who take dna test today is still pretty high, in local areas. Certain parts are higher than others, just go watch some dna videos, Central Americans average about 50 percent native, Mexicans do as well, South Americans im not too sure, so the narrative that all the natives almost died out can be partly true depending on the region.
At one and the same time Caral is described as an "advanced" civilization and a "pre ceramic" civilization. Can both statements be true? I thought ceramics were basic to civilization. How did these people store, transport and drink water? Did they have beer or wine? If so, how were they made without ceramics?
Water was stored in puquinas many of which were connected via subterranean aqueducts. for personal totting of water hollowed out gourds were used. Chicha (fermented drink) was also made in gourds and pouched animal skins.
@@JA-rn5qv Thank you. This is good information.
A silly question. Human "civilization" has never ended.

Glad to learn of Caral but I can't agree it is "The oldest civilization in the Americas." There is such a stark difference between the crude upper stonework of the Incas and the precise megaliths of the lower levels they were built upon that they must have been built by separate peoples far separated in time. Who were those ancient builders and what wiped out their skilled stoneworking technology that should otherwise have been passed down to the Inca empire? Were there civilizations flourishing in the now undersea areas off the present-day coast that were suddenly inundated when sea-level rose some 400 feet at the end of the last ice age? I suspect there were and that underwater archaeology will bring them to light.
If they have the balls to dig deeper. Thats a BIG IF
Couldn't agree more. But we need a smoking gun to convince the mainstream authority. As blatantly obvious as it is to us all that the megalithic stone walls throughout Peru and all over the world for that matter make the more modern work look pedestrian, it still does not convince the mainstream. Well, it probably does but will threaten grant money if they dared stray from the dogma and indoctrinated bullshit they have been feeding us for decades.
Left reply on mainstream, sorry.
Well said. Another thought is that those earlier civilizations (megalithics all over the world) are no longer here, either died off or have gone elsewhere.
Agreed.

Looks like the construction is from rubble; this is relatively recent since it is crude; the trend is that the older the rock constructions the more intricate. Caral looks like a re-settlement.
Or repairs. Clearly two different skill levels were involved. The older stone work is much more impressive, as we would most certainly not be able to recreat today.
People have been devolving; not evolving. We made all this amazing stuff, but lack wisdom. We take all that accumulated knowledge of making great things that inspire, but make utilitarian buildings, instead. We are admiring civilizations we're told were advanced, socially, though not all those "noble savages" were AS noble as we're taught. Having a close-knit homogenous society helps people cate for each other in some ways, but not others. Some attacked other villages, like those Columbus took as slaves after terrorizing the tribe originally in the Dominican Republic/Cuba island. What about inbreeding amongst isolated tribes? You have to think that is happening. That can't help the minds of a people advance.
In Caral what was dated was the Shicra bags, ornanic material underneath the pyramids. This is as solid as it gets. What's at the bottom preceeds what is on top.
It is certainly a step down from the sort of building work in Cuzco or the Titicaca area. And most likely younger, as well. This valley was still cultivatable in the conquistador era, whereas the Altiplano has been too high elevation to grow grain crops, for at least 5000 years.

"Ancient Peruvians" sounds a bit strange though. Since Peru is covering a verry big part of South America as we know it these days. Nowadays we know the people as Peruvians, because they're all living in their country, called Peru. And which covers all of this area. But hundreds and thousands years ago this same area was devided by a lot of diffrent civilisations and cultures. Like the Lima's, Nazca's, Chachapoyas, Inca's etc. Just to name a few.
But nonetheless, verry interesting!
But the civilization is actually the same, a single cultural development. Today we call Egypt by that name and Greece by that name and we have no problem saying Egyptians or ancient Greeks, so why not Peruvians?

I personally think when the earth’s land mass was “Pangea” there were humans, mankind or men/women that were all living on it and that’s why these civilizations are all so similar...
Pangea broke apart when the dinosaurs walked the earth. That’s not possible. Humans couldn’t have ever existed with dinosaurs
Who says humans couldn’t have existed? Dinosaur were dumb and humans are very intelligent and could’ve easily survived... There is no explanation on how people of Kemet were all over the earth before any race of people...
Michael Harrison because humans evolved from mammals. Mammals were able to evolve in any significant way besides small rodent sized creature until the dinosaurs that filled the niches were extinct. If that asteroid hadn’t hit earth mammals wouldn’t have become the dominant species on earth because there would have been way too much competition from dinosaurs
Michael Harrison the mammal that all placental mammals evolved from didn’t even evolve until after the dinosaurs went extinct

This really helped me with my history studies.
The video tells us very little about the civilization, their culture, or even what the people called themselves. Presumably there is still much to learn. At least part of the purpose of the video appears to be marketing, to inspire tourism by comparing Caral-Supe with Egypt or Sumeria. There simply aren't enough artifacts or facts yet. Except for hard-core anthropologists, it looks like a tough sell.
This is a channel dedicated to ‘tourism’. There’s plenty of other video on YT with more detail.
With respect, these carals that do not master megalithic construction at all, they are certainly not the oldest civilization. They are just survivors with amnesia of the pre flood high civilization.

In Caral what was dated was the Shicra bags, organic material underneath the pyramids. This is as solid as it gets. What's at the bottom preceeds what is on top.
Another interesting thought is that the Sahara desert used to be a lush tropical paradise. If we evolved in Africa right below the Sahara desert, the first place we would’ve gone is that paradise. And it would’ve been fertile. And people are smart. If there was a civilization older than Mesopotamia that is where it would be. Now buried underneath the desert. Just an interesting thought and maybe a good discussion starter
Stop implying your assumptions are fact. just admit you don't know.you can't look at the indigenous peoples today and claim that's how I was in antiquity.

Probably means there is no evidence of human sacrifice like there is in other parts of central america. And, no cannibalism.

@Baltimorean Adventures raw unedited content In your pockets, search carefully, though some people put it in their socks to avoid the raids of pickpockets.
Dreams explain something and every dream needs to be carefully read/ analysed...
If you for instance dream of animals it tells you something
If you dream of violence for instance you being shot at or attacked but don't see blood in your dream means you escaped it or so on & so on..
Keep an animal as your pet a bird/chicken or a dog or something alike a turtle or lizard because negative energies tent to harm or attack those / them ( animals) first
Dream of animals a lot means you might for instance return as one of those or an other animals
Dream of humans often for instance means you might return to earth as a human

Back in 2011 they were still talking about everything started getting built around 5,000bc and now everything is 50,000bc or later and now all the big talk is about alien intervention.
I think archeologists don't tell us the truth about these discoveries on how old they really are, have you herd of chief joseph of the nez pierce Indian having and old mesopotamian tablet on him when he surrendered to the us military that dated back thousands of years
That depiction of the man at the end of the intro looks like the earliest Greek statues.
I love it.
Its sad Americans travel to other COUNTRIES to rediscover history,,,, but ppl come to America and find AMAZING discoveries,,,,,
You think the pyramids are 5000 years old.? Didn't we already agree that the Sphinx had a Luvian period . About 12000 years ago. Unless of course you know of another Ice Age.
+Jason Rees Fingerprints of the Gods Graham Hancock and Robert Bauval proved this in detail ! I cant believe that they still attribute the pyramids to the Pharaohs
I do believe the pyramids in Egypt are older than humans if not older than dinosaurs. There is the possibility that this planet was inhabited by other intelligent beings different in shape and size, that either got extinct or took off from the planet. I mean there is no reason for aliens to come here and build shit and then fuckoff or is it? Would you do that?
@@mihaiivm Read the Book " Fingerprints of the Gods" It explains in mathematical science that the Pyramids and the Sphinx were erected in 10 500 BC under the Constellation of LEO.. Hence the Leonine face of the Sphinx.. this coincides w the end of the 10 500 year long Ice age and is visible at the Water markers on the Sphinx itself.. Cheops was NOT the builder of this pyramid.. he himself inscribed in hieroglyphs that when he got to Egypt he had to dig the Sphinx out of the Sand !!!
@@mihaiivm pyramids in Mexico is older than egypt.america is the old world especially Christopher Columbus said this .old new world
The Sphinx had a period?!!?
I didn't even know it was ovulating! :P
Been saying this for years man we alot older than we know thats why people cant say the first civilization no more there was probably civilization before the ice age
Nice videos but there are sites much older than that in Peru check out the megalithic structures that are all over Peru they predate the great flood
IMMORTAL SWIF there are plenty and they have known it and they all lie
We lived on Mars which had lesser gravity. We destroyed mars n what was let came here in the spacecraft we call our moon. Why else did it gong for 8 hours when hit.
I believe in Mexico they are finding some sites that have relics dating back to 40K BC?!!
There is NO PROOF that any of these structures are that old.. S Americas Pre Columbian history is vast and unknown to us because of the destruction by the conquistadores.. We have a lot we dont know thats all

We are the 85th people on Earth .
Love how they say things they could not possibly know and present it as fact. Like how they say it was all accomplished by and based around controlling people through religion. What is there evidence of that besides how religion controls people now and in the more recent past.
They use archeological evidence, it can allow for a lot of speculation. They aren't just projecting things from today out of nowhere.
I have a hard time staying with this. Drags out. I've watched it 3 times and not clear on dates.. 5000 years ago?
And some say Pumu Punku is over 30,000 yrs old.
This is no doubt important, but oldest? NFW. Remember Gobekli Teppe and Unung Padang? And what about all the inundated structures world wide on the continental shelves?
You sound like someone who'd be great in a conversation! You seem very knowledgeable!
The vid is claiming oldest in the Americas, not worldwide. That being said, the correct statement should be we "believe" that this is the oldest "that we have rediscovered to date" in the Americas. We, as a species, think that we know so much when in actuality, we know very little.
Btw, Gobekli Tepe is the most astounding and interesting site imho....would go volunteer for a dig season if I had the financial means to take no income for that long.
I think our species isuch older millions of years older
I guess you weren't paying attention. They said the oldest in the - - - > AMERICAS < - - - - not the oldest in the world. Gobekli Tepe is NOT in the Americas.
I agree with MH, & Thanks for the info
How old is it?
3000 a.c.
Love how they have higher governmental power dynamics and they look so lighter skin as a people culture was no different then life today ... laborers
Many have visited...some remain...some moved on...some continue to watch !
Life is EVERYWHERE !
Read the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov !
This civilization is a story of drought and excessive rain. A time of climate variability. They grew fiber crops that they traded to the coastal people to use as fishing nets in exchange for caught fish product brought inland to them. So much rain came down after periods of drought that it melted their earthen pyramids. The fish trade collapsed when previously they prayed for rains to end the drought so they could grow the fiber crops. How confoundingly fickle and tragic nature is. Noble princes were sacrificed neck cut to symbolically beckon the rains during droughts. The rains did come but washed the fiber crops away in torrents. We people are forever striving to survive and overcome natures harshest swings of extreme. Thank these times of benevolent natural stasis. Any problems we will now face would be of our own making.
looks like a nuke or bomb was dropped on the place.....the sand all the atomized dust. mountains behind laid bare of foliage cover.
lama herders found the valley yrs later. If rain was heavy, wouldnt it be a rocky gorge?
@@deanhall9292 The time period was only decades and maybe hundreds of years. It would take a time period of thousands of years to create gorges. Only takes sustained decades of rainfall swing to ruin a planting civilization. With the climate instability we are just now beginning to witness it is highly likely we will face the same fate as the ancients. Because of harsh weather instability we will not be able to grow enough crops to sustain our present populations. Hell.
@@georgehunter2813 It doesnt help our govts aligned to Vested interest$ in fossil fuels....then compounded by TMA chemtrailing so X-band waves can create more Kaos.
Have u seen their weather 'heating' machine?...SBX-1.
Yeah, sadly we are in a living hell.....as USA - UK, and probably us faithful little blue heelers downunder Aus, start war with Iran.....today. Hell.
Espetacular
I’d really love to know the music source-song used with the mountain flute- if you wouldn’t mind sharing please
Go to FYE they should have CD's of Aztec flute music.. it's amazing to listen to.. we saw members of an Aztec circle here in FL a few yrs ago bought their CD then went to FYE & found more.. extremely relaxing & haunting..
it,s called a pan flute!
It's music from a very popular Peruvian group known as Alborada which includes native Peruvian notch flute, Peruvian panpipes, and other pan-native wind instruments. It is NOT Aztec flute music as Sharon suggested. There were no Aztecs in Peru. She's on the wrong continent lol. Here's a link to some Alborada music - th-cam.com/video/b8JRlBUROq8/w-d-xo.html
the Anasazi lived in North America for 20.000 YEARS,, the Anasazi had Reading Writing they had landfillSS they had huge roads, huge cities around the Four Corners Colorado area
aunun ally Chaco canyon
Really? And you have verifiable and universally accepted proof that the Anasazi had reading, writing, huge cities and huge roads 20,000 years ago? Please present the scholarly proof of such claims, I would very much like to see it.
J Alenichev go watch videos on Chaco canyon. The highways went all the way to South America.
Look at all of the sites of old Israel from Judea to Jordan and you will see the same type of building. Peru is trying to do the same thing Egypt has done.
How can that be if a immense Ocean thousands of miles separated the two Continents many ages ago. If anything Ancient Civiliizations are just very interesting. The Truth is that Earth is much older then any Ancient Civiliizations.
Title should read..".....that we know of."
The title should read:
Another guess(story), by clowns, trying to hide the real history from the masses.
What was the oldest civilization in America prior to this discovery? What happens when we find even older areas? I wish speculation wouldn't be presented as factual??
This is a nice promo for tourists, but I believe that the megalithic structures in Peru are much older and much more interesting. As far as oldest civilization, the Monte Verde site in Chile is 14,500 years BP and maybe as old as 38,800 years BP (Strangers in a New Land by Adovasio and Pedler). It may not be considered a "civilization" but it certainly is an ancient settlement.
Howard You get no argument from me. Those megalithic structures likely predate the Younger dryas impact and perhaps even the Older Dryas event. ( which I know nothing at all about with the exception that I've heard a discussion that it was the Older Dryas that sunk Atlantis) I thought this Tourist Promo was going to tell me something of importance about those civilizations that built the megaliths. Maybe you and I could get together and figure all that out since our minds are wide open to the unknown.
@@rodneycaupp5962 We can certainly talk about it!
Monte Verde is not a civilization. If you like "ancient settlements" Peru also has Huaca Prieta. Look it up!
I think the time they mention in this video is wrong. Its much older.
Yes when she found it they said it was 4000 years older than sumer
The upper layers were found to be 5000+ years old, that was the first areas exposed that had been buried for thousands of years. They still had at least 10 more layers down to dig (some say 16 layers) and each layer represented anywhere from 400 to 800 years further back in time, however as the Unesco officials arrived and declared it an official U.N. world heritage site, there was a lot of pressure being put for the diggers and researchers to not declare any further updates to the timeline that would make the site much older even though all of the evidence was pointing to that as they dug deeper. Also some artifacts were being confiscated or destroyed, primarily ones that had inscriptions on them and also ones that were shaped exactly like gears and were made out of metal.
