Those walls in Peru represent such a small percentage of what was once there. I wonder how deep they are buried and how tall they once were. What were they? Fascinating!

[@dannyscotting2098]

It occurred to me as I was watching your Peru videos that although the stones themselves are impossible to carbon date properly. It may be possible to retrieve a soil core sample from UNDER the oldest stones and compare it to a sample extracted from the nearby hills. You’d be able to check at what point in history the soil stopped building up. Thereby giving a rough timeline of when these stones were placed. Just a thought and I imagine getting permission for that would be tough.

[@Starburst7641]

^ this!

[@bradwhitham4115]

Pollen in the soil under/adjacent to the footings of these monuments can be carbon dated, as long as the sample is large enough, and the distribution can be confirmed to have accreted incrementally, not "washed" into the sample area from a later wind/water event.

I Have to disagree. i think the only problem is that EVERYONE doesn't feel free to come up with their own dream, hypothesis or theory because the mainstream narrative is literally nothing more than that. If these videos and research do anything at all it is they OPEN the discussion for ANYONE to tell the story. Because that's exactly where we are. in need of a new story that makes more sense. the only problem with a story is when the tellers stunt the growth of knowledge by refusing to let the story to evolve in the face of evidence that dictates it do so. in this way, any narrative can become a dogma if the truth is not able to shift with evidence of the times. Its time for everyone to tell their story. because history is a lie.

The same geometric shapes crop up all across the planet and is already documented. The most famous is the "bad people from WW2" symbol which is found from Australia to India to Japan to Africa to middle East (including ancient Jewish buildings 🤔) to Scandinavia to the both north and south Americas. It's almost everywhere ancient stone art is found. Same with other shapes. Might not be being used as part of writing at that exact time but it does ask questions about how it spread so widely.

[@nureyevhaas1299]

I think the patterns might be a form of machinery. "Giving form to the formeless". They are similar in appearance to a Yantra. In my theory, these symbols operate on principled (each symbol a principle) manifestations of intent, sound resonance, and/or spoken language(s) centered around integrity.

Back in the 1970s there was a report by an oceanographic survey that off the coast of Peru{?} in deep water they photographed stone pillars with writing on them. Nothing more about it. It may have been in books of Charles Berlitz who came up with many fascinating seafloor anomalies reports.

Regarding Sherman's stone, it strikes me that considering the hardness of Andesite, which is 7 on the Mohs scale, that level of erosion of the glyphs would suggest extremely great age, especially as compared to the other cut stones in the area, which show very little relative erosion. This leads me to believe that this stone may be a remnant of an original work that predates all others in the area, possibly by several thousand years.

Formulating a geopolymer composition and constructing these megalithic sites is the lost technology everyone who is unaware has been seeking. Prof. J. Davidovits as recently as the last "State of the Geopolymer R&D 2021 (Keynote at the 13th Geopolymer Camp)" has made clear time and time again, and is overlooked by those only interested in promoting the "mystery" and not resolving a solution to the mystery.

Opening shots of the wall in Peru…it looks like the larger stones are resting (with flat bases) on soil, not on a foundation of other shaped rocks or of bedrock. That can’t be right. Has anyone dug down to expose the foundation to see what it consists of? Surely they must have in past archaeological digs.

Interesting point. One would think that if there had been significant percipitaion that the blocks would have sunk into the soil to a certain amount. But how deep are the soils there.

[@SuckMyKiss420]

I believe a small group of scientists dug down in one or two spots to find out and they discovered more megalithic stone for several feet.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

We're actually unsure as to what they rest upon, or even how deep the ruins extend for that matter, simply because they haven't been fully excavated. But it makes little sense to assume they're simply resting on soil, as there would be visual evidence of considerable settling across the length of that wall.

i have two thoughts lingering after watching this clip , those being that the symmetry of the block might suggest that it should be rotated 90 degrees. either to slot into a space or so that the ' shoulders ' to the right as you show it might support something on either side, the arched piece you showed might as you say be water related and i can see that this would be the first thought given the nature of the site and the well spring at it's centre but it also resembles the lintel of a fireplace and what you call a sluice gate where it curves serving to draw air. if so the small drill holes on the stones face might be peg holes for fixing wooden embellishments,

Of course I’m sure this paper didn’t get cited much. I had never seen y’all’s and Randall’s work until a few weeks ago but had come to the conclusion independently long ago when I was studying archaeology and history as an undergraduate that there had to be a civilization older than what we thought simply because, to me, something was a bit off in the fact pattern that was beat into our heads as gospel.

Great video, great info. We love your work and collaborations. 👍🏽😘

[@team-zracing7476]

Never seen this detail before - @13:03 not only are there nubs on several stones but there's also a sort of ridge right through the middle of a long course of stones. What's this about? What's the relation of these to the nubs? Is this part of the original installation? Then it must have had some purpose. ???

[@team-zracing7476]

And the pegs/rectangular shapes emerging from the faces of stones above that modern barrier. What's that about?? Are there negatives to these? Stones with recesses that match the shapes? Ben do you have any thoughts here?

[@Republic3D]

Thank you for another great video dude! Have a good trip!

[@platinumlaboratoryservices8176]

I have discovered your channel recently and thoroughly enjoy your presentations. I have one question and that is why has there been no mass spectrometry work done on the core drill holes or circular blade cuts where erosion and exposure haven't contaminated the surface. Even so, evidence of minerals or metallurgy would, or should, still be present that came from the drill or blade on the surface of the cuts despite the exposure to ages of dust and wind . This would be easily identifiable as differing from the native rock. Diamond or some exotic mineral would easily show up against the background of the mineral composition of the rock itself. Any thoughts?

[@NautilusGuitars]

Excellent point here. That something that we all should bring some attention to. It's unfortunate that your comment has so far gone overlooked.

[@wompbozer3939]

There’s a good reason- the analysis would likely show traces of copper and abrasive. A deathblow for Lost-Ancient High Technology

First off I'd just like to Thank you for your courage😉. I always love your content and find it fascinating as we have a lot in common and as I share an extreme interest in history and everything you do. I only wish I could do half of what you get up to, but it makes me very, very happy that you are able to share the experiences, knowledge and opinions from yourself and all of the other amazing guests and brilliant people on your channel. Keep up the great work, and I hope to join you on a trip one day soon.

Always nice to see a fellow Drinker fan! The markings on the stone actually bare a stricking similarity to the shapes on the clothing when viewed with unfocused eyes. The ubiquity of the nubs continues to astonish me; perhaps there is some degree of truth in the poured stone theory, with the nubs being pour points. Did you notice the clear scoop marks on some of the stones in the video? From my perspective they seemed almost identical to those found in Egypt.

[@customsongmaker]

Have you noticed some blocks with indentations? They look like inverse nubs, maybe they fit together.

[@mikesinyaboot5992]

I wonder if Tatyana is an Uncharted X fan.

[@anzacman5]

Nubs! Pour points - not so sure. Some of these are very large and flat raised surfaces, others are smaller pointy nipples. The discrepancies dont add up.

[@allangeorgjensen6662]

Those LiDAR scans are amazing 😮 Another great video, thank you 😊

[@kahmylion2]

The only way you can mill and route those blocks with that amount of flatness and tiny channels and holes is with the use of guided tools like CNC or something similar found in a modern machine shop.. no way they did that by hand and plum bobs .. they had tech greater if not on par at the least with the tech we have today..

[@alanderson9711]

There is nothing in the historical record even remotely close to indicate they had anything other than handtools. Their technology was centuries away from ours and not even close to anything electronic. Try again.

[@kahmylion2]

@@alanderson9711 nothing in the historical record but the stones themselves to prove there was machine tools.. you can cover your eyes and say "behold I have covered the sky" but how silly would that be..

[@shermanatorosborn9688]

You have it right very precise power controls must have been incorporated

[@emrysmcwryn7902]

A more profound understanding of physics would allow a less technologically advanced people to outdo the physical achievements of our civilization. There are many legends about the span of human life being reduced in stages from the before-times till now. In an age where people lived for a thousand years, an individual genius might discover more, by themselves, than a community of scientists. Imagine if Tesla, Newton or Einstein had lived for one thousand years- what wonders might they have discovered. Next came the 120 year lifespans. But humanity built a 'tower of knowledge that reached into the heavens' with the goal of making humanity like the gods. This was stopped by confusing the tongues of man kind such that we could not share knowledge but instead would be forced to fight the incomprehensible other. But before all that, there were wizards upon the earth. Of course their inventions aren't laying about for us to find and study- they were careful not to leave their tools laying about for fear their competitors, the other wizards, would find them and reverse engineer them. To understand these megaliths, we have to understand the psychology of a genius who will live for 1000 years.

Love ur content, such logical conclusion based on great insights and that leaves room gor debate and adjustments! Very inspirational. Thank you!

[@UncleRayRayGarageEmporium]

The Sherman Stone looks like a keystone on its side. It is turned 90° to the right. It appears to have the same shape as a common keystone found at the top of stone arches all over the world.

[@Jasmijn25]

Excellent, really excellent! Great vid, great voice, great research. You deliver quality. Thank you!

[@Itsjustme-Justme]

What I like most about the alternative research community is the amount of personal respect and friendship between the authors, no matter how different their interpretation of historic artefacts is. I never heard the word alien out of Ben's mouth, but he still is friend to Brien Foerster and they can have a great time together and learn from each other. Isn't that what humanity is all about? The colorful squares remind me of the nautical flag alphabet. If the Inca or direct ancestors had a writing system that relied on color, this could be a clue why we can not find it. You can not engrave color, you have to paint it. And paint will not stay forever, when it is not preserved in a cave. Maybe they wrote a lot and it's all gone. There are a few problems to solve, to fit evidence from around the world in a common model. Any kind of religious symbolism can be insanely old. Its roots can as old as mankind. You don't need to be advanced in any way to have a religion. It certainly is possible that the first humans who spread out to settle the whole world already had this religious symbolism. This would be common ancestery, but it would be insanely old. And it would not be a global civilization. Building boats almost certainly is insanely old too. There had never been a landbridge to Australia in millions of years. The Aboriginal Australians arrived there at least 62000 years ago, maybe even several millenia earlier. They must have had boats. Proving a common ancestery through the shape of the boats still is nearly impossible. A boat looks like a boat because it faces hydrodynamics. Form follows function. It makes no sense to make a boat round or square. With the construction technique it is the same. When you have to create the same basic shape to make a usable boat and you have the same materials to to it (here reed and ropes), it will look similar. It probably is convergent development. You also have to fit the theory into biology. If there was a global civilization, why didn't they spread their vegetables and livestock over the world? There are no animals or plants that mysteriously jumped to another continent. The first proven export of vegetables or livestock was done by Polynesians not much more than 2000 years ago. Any animal or plant that reached another continent before and not by the help of Polynesians is proven to have traveled without any human help. Only after Columbus started exploring the Caribean, humans started to ship animals and plants between the old and new world. The only human spread over the globe without bringing back their vegetables and livestock was in the pleistocene. The Sherman stone is not just a block. Look at its outer shape. Is it mushroom shaped, or is it derived from t-shaped? I don't know but I would bet anything that it is lying on its side. It looks more eroded than many other stones there. Maybe it is older. This would give not one but two older constructions periods before the Inca. At a first look I can not find similarities between the engraving and the colorful squares, which also can be evidence for different age.

[@DonzLockz]

The mind boggles, I need to know before I kick the bucket. Lol. Thank you for all your work!👍🍺🇦🇺

[@byronwheeler4210]

Ben, the Peru/Egypt stonework comparison is so palpable, one could conclude that not only was it the same Ice Age civilization, but maybe the same "guy" travelling between the sites overseeing the magical quarrying, cutting and placing of the massive blocks! There are some very unique signature design elements that give it away.

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

The nubs! Can't forget the nubs. So many parallels between them, it's actually easier to find where they diverge.

[@PhoenixLyon]

The Aztec talk about a traveler; Quetzalcoatl. What about Vera Coche(?sp). Both were said to be strangers from afar, and Vera Coche is shown with a beard. Which no Aztec, Inca, Mayan or other indigenous people sported. I'm a proponent of Graham Hancock; we are a species with amnesia, and I agree with the advanced ancient civilization theory.✌🏻🐱

At 12:58 interesting to see section of wall with blocks removed, to see interior side of blocks, as well as joints on top side interior of blocks. Great video, as always! 🤘

[@weatherstation71]

It seems to bear a resemblance to the twisting, 'snaking' design on the lower portion of the Sun Gate relief at Tiwanaku, No?

[@SeanStewart-ou9dh]

Just had to say this block highly reminded me of the Naga Knot designs that are in India. PraveenMohan did a video about similar designs. Especially towards the top middle.
