I remember a maybe 2000's Garden series with an episode about an Amazon garden showing a lady making improved soil as she stayed warm at night... she kept adding dried vegetation on top of a smoldering pile, and as the dried fuel caught alight , she put the flame out by putting "dirt", maybe pebbles and fish remains, on top, then another layer of leaves. The process seems a bit similar to the ancient charcoal burners kiln, with a bit of the old seashell burning lime makers art thrown in, and maybe think for a second about the Earth oven cooking techniques of the Maori, but done over a small night-time fire in a hut, a layer at a time. The smoke was caught and filtered by the sand/dirt/clay, (carbon capture) and probably deterred mosquitoes. The solid non flammable additives add body, and trap nutrients, "bank" the fire to hold the heat and will prevent blowing away and washing away by adding particle size and drainage to the final blend. Dr Anna T Browne Ribeiro, an Archaeologist from the University of Louisville talks about this soil in "Lost Cities of the Amazon"
God who created the world must be very concerned about humans surviving and even prospering. The Bible says that God delights in the prosperity of his servant.
First you must create a mixture of (or 25% diatomaceous earth and 25% soil) 50% soil, 25% charcoal powder, 25% rock dusts powders mixtures by volume. Then get a truck load of that soil and get a cup of the soil and mix it with your modern artificial terra-preta and simultaneously add a fine misting spray of water to make the mixture moist. Then wait for the original natural terra-preta's microorganisms do the job of inoculating the modern terra-preta mixture. And use that as a starting medium to create more terra-preta soil starters and terra-preta soils for immediate farming use.

My analysis; It's simply dug out a hole comprised of household waste which was burned to maintain your waste management. One can see samples of this still practised in rural areas in Malaysia. There is no proper collection of waste in these areas so this type of method is applied. Burned waste are indeed more productive than clay soil mostly found here.
Pretty sure it’s safe to say the explorer who wrote about everything he saw in his trip to the Amazon was largely embellished if not completely false. It really makes the most sense even tho I want it to be the exact opposite. Gettin funding for expeditions would obviously be difficult. Coming back w/o anything wouldn’t entice ppl to finance more trips. Solution? Make up stories about incredible things witnessed just out of the reach. Fundraising for future trips suddenly becomes much easier
Ok so Oriano shows up with his crew and dumps small pox and some other stuff they have no biological defense to and it kills millions, in a decade.. then the jungle, fed by the hyper soil in some parts, grows at an accelerated, unchecked rate, and when the “Andals” came back half a century later what they saw was basically “Mad Max” with gold and blood and pyramids? Am I close?
Nah, nowhere near close. You’ve been infected with cultural marxism. Jungles don’t support populations of millions of people. Only western agriculture does
Interesting. At the front of this video . He says the soil is poor in the Amazon. At 7:30 minutes. He says the soil is good. But the rains wash the goodness out of the soil. What is it poor , or good?
any nutrients or organic matter that is created from process' like decomposition is easily washed away (leached). This is because of the high sand land low clay/silt soils found in rainforests.
Why are the narrators & scientists comparing the biochar the ancient Amazonian Indians made as charcoal. Its NOT CHARCOAL. Get an archeologist in there to get everything they did proper. You guys are a group of 3 stooges, trying to figure this out.
I wonder how we got so dumb? Could it have been the spread of Christianity? Kinda looks like it. Thankfully we seem to be getting back on the right track, for our own sakes and our planets.
why is there anti European sentiment in this type of video. there is no reason for that. i am really getting tired of this type of narrative being pushed.
for all we know this tera preta soil could have been created on accident. these places could have been garbage dumps. take a look at how much organic matter you would need to create compost dirt. its huge. the sheer volume of this material would have been a gigantic mound. waste pits have been used for 1,000s of years. in the usa there is also these waste pits farmers have uncovered. this type of char coal soil is not unique to the amazon. there greater narrative at work here is about saving the amazon rain forest.
Garbage dumps can exist only when you have a culture producing it, which anyway needs some sort of culture. Hunters may have returned to camps they knew to be in a good area for fishing and hunting, but if they'd be able to produce layers of several meters thick, is pretty doubtful. Hunting fishing didn't produce that much stuff, bones, non-usable hides, other inedible stuff (mammoth tusk hives on Ukraine are famous) But some hunter refuse would not ever produce such fertile soil. You need plant material for that. And some early sort of agriculture comes with that.

it was a city of "gold"... gold in the native language meant wealth in general which could be interpreted as abundance... like a wealth of food.
Sounds more like
An abundance of food would have led to an abundance of gold/wealth.
Thanks for making this concise version, much appreciated!

Why the diatomaceous earth? DId this occur in the natural tera preta found in the amazon?
this is VERY important too carbon sequestration, and appropriate timing for european and american soils, WOW!!

No, because the forest has been there for millions of years.

So they think it is a certain microbe that is the secret. Not necessarily the charcoal.
In ukraine they have 6meters deep of that black rich soil
