If you don't mind me asking, I'm just curious about how you lost your lower leg? I'm amazed and impressed by what you are able to do. It's a testament to the love you have for what you do, that drive to see what's around the next bend. And a testament to the technology that allows you to still do what you love.

I was about to post this comment. The film making has been legendary. And Albert has just one foot. I am inspired to visit this place before it's a tourist trap. I did it in 1992 when I visited Angor Wat and just 6 of us were there. this is the Angor of the Pacific.

[@dubselectorr345]

It's great to see more documentation of this site which is unstudied by archeology. However they have the wrong idea on this place, this is clearly a pre-flood civilization, contemporary with that of other sites like gunam padang, this site must date to at least 12 - 30k years ago before the rise of the sea levels, so much here is underwater you couldn't imagine... this place is much much older than said.

Albert, you're an inspiration!! I've struggled with my total knee replacement becoming infected in my right knee and almost lost my leg and ever since I've struggled to walk properly, mostly from pain, bcuz part of my kneecap is out of place and I haven't had the money for another surgery (it would be the 7th, hopefully final) so I've been living with the depression of not being able to be active like I used to, running 3 miles a day, hiking, rock hounding, etc, and it's hurt my soul more than my knee. But, you make me determined to fix it and get my a** back in shape!!! Thank you, Albert!! Keep it up!!

[@juliemorris530]

Check out the Travell and Simons Trigger point charts. Trigger points are amazingly effective, safe and self treatable therapy and can deal with pain, even phantom pain, and release tightness in the Quads that could be pulling the kneecap out of alignment. I have used it for decades.

I really like the magic part on how the stones were transported, to a regular person who didn't have the same knowledge as the builders seeing such large rocks floating on water would indeed appear as magic. Albert is a really good host his excitement is contagious, I'm really enjoying exploring the ancient world with him!

[@rongike]

this is Lemuria, they could levitate things back then

[@gointothedogs4634]

Easter Island, which he mentioned top of the video, has the same legends about how their Moa were moved, and has walls there with stones rivaling those of Peru's structures. Seems the ancients either had a better understanding of the laws of physics, or other help to move these. Similarly, Egyptian archaeologists still want to claim the Great Pyramid and Sphinx are +- 5,000yrs. old, while more progressive scientists realize they are closer to 12-30,000 yrs. old. I can't help wonder if we'll eventually learn that Nan Madol is much older also. I'm curious why it fell out of use, The more we learn about these amazing places, the more understanding we'll have about our own history as humans on this planet.

Dear Albert, thank you for doing this. Completely fascinating and I applaud your commitment to to the local culture and traditions. I love new technologies that “do no harm” - rather than the old 19th and early 20thC diggers and plodders - some no more than plunderers. When you described one of the stones as “big as a bus” , I suddenly understood the enormity of the question of how the structures were built. A huge question. How many people does it take to lift one of those stones that high, that accurately? Again and again? Big, big, HUGE quandary.

Their way around it was through "marriage" and then control. The people here were redheads with blue eyes, maori are black haired and brown eyed.

Incredible I see origins of my culture, I’m French Polynesian and I lived on an atoll where “marae” or the religious place of ancestors were made with rocks, strangely all are not the same. On an atoll there’s no mountains only reef. Ancients tells us that some of the pieces used were picked on a mountain or on high island, in memory of the origin island from where the first family came. This two different side to side islands remind me the same stories of my people. Oral communication was very important at the time. in my opinion the connection so close with our nature as well as only oral communication, must have given language and words greater importance, and undoubtedly unimaginable cognitive capacities, the wisdom of the peoples of the Pacific as well as their power the "mana "is felt everywhere, in everything, surely they had the capacity to understand and read reality, in a transcandent way with stone and living things. 👻

​@@alexsetterington3142 Very good point. But a possible link in quarrying methodology. I am not an expert on anything to do with quarrying, but if both sites had their stone quarried using similar techniques, then that could point to some sort cultural link in how stone was obtained. it could also just as easily mean this particular type of basalt in the pacific needed to be quarried like this out of necessity and independently developed the same way in two different places too. My heart is set on there being a link in the quarrying methodology, but it would need more research and evidence, possibly another independent site or two (preferably at different time periods too) utilizing the same quarrying methods.

Morris West's "The Navigator" which I read while in my Post Grad (1977) gives an excellent premonitions to this.

Been watching Ancient Aliens since college. I'm turning 36 years old now and is still fascinated with every story and theories about aliens. I even bought one of my dream book, CHARIOTS OF THE GODS back in 2016.

Did you hear the latest news about Gunung Padang?

[@CassidyFelix]

Amazing book! I love it

[@shirleylarose4038]

Oh my goodness Albert, this is mind blowing 🤩🙏🙏🙏

[@echoesOFendeavor-30]

Such information about Neanderthals is really amazing! This study opens up a new horizon to understand the cultural and physical differences between modern humans and Neanderthals. The depth of their strategic skills and lifestyle is truly amazing. Great presentation! 👏

He's an inspiration to all not letting his injury slow him down and moving on!

[@Brian-os9qj]

Perfectly interesting. Who would rather just relax on a beach? Foolish choice, I say. Albert Lin is a monster of drive and curiosity at its finest. Thx dude

We are seafaring men, we are people of the sea connected by the sea. Here in the Pacific our islands may be small and it may be disappearing by the rapid sea level rise but that is where our strength lies. That is our identity. We are voyagers that conquered the oceans vast and surrounding us and have lived expertly all these years even now. This situation may be confusing to many as it is painfully real to us but in the end we belong to the sea.

[@jahreidjade]

hopefully sooner a lot of people will open up their minds about our history !. continue to spread everyone about our real history!. salute from phils .

[@berniegrong5388]

I’m from Micronesia and we have legends explaining how these structures were formed

[@charleskavoukjian3441]

Care to elaborate for us non Micronesian folk? Thanks!

[@alexsetterington3142]

That's nice. It's really cool sometimes when people provide example after saying they know something.

[@berniegrong5388]

Sorry all, I was busy doing this thing called living my life. Basically legends state that ancient Gods created these structures. The built an ancient city and ruled over the people when Gods lived among regular people. There is more but you would have to do your own research. There are legends with multiple stories but it would take too much time for me to share here. I recommend looking into it

[@CassidyFelix]

​@@berniegrong5388extraterrestrial no other answer. I was born and raised in pohnpei and this site puzzled my brain growing up. I read the book called chariots of the Gods and the book kind of educate me about these kinds of deep unknown places on this planet..when people say magic I can only think of aliens

[@planetclaire820boulder8]

Wow, best thing ive watched this year! Thank you to those responsible for showing this with minimal ego, and nonsense, this was wonderful. Amazing.🙏🏻💜🤲🏻😊
