I'm very glad to find something from Peru in this channel. With so many mysteries, we have much to offer to this channel.

[@MrZekinhaluiz]

Yas!

[@conner13.c16]

As a Peruvian, it means a lot to me reading these comments. Also I really love presence of Peruvian and Ancient American civilizations on this channel. Thank you!!

[@TrumpCarson]

🇵🇪Peru & 🇲🇽Mexico Im Mexicano and our ancestors culture are criminally underrated and understudied cradles of civilization! I don’t know why such vibrant and intriguing civilizations are so neglected or even disrespected as the claims of Extra Terrestrial intervention in their amazing development so do. As if the natives of the Americas were incapable of such wonderful feats.

[@kaarlimakela3413]

Really enjoyed this one. Wonderful array of ceramics and weaving. Those dye colors! Glad so much made it to now.

[@jon-marcyaden6265]

Excellent overview! Much appreciated!

[@TrumpCarson]

I’m Mexican and am obsessed with Mesoamerican Civilazations. However Andean Civilizations of Peru is a huge interest of mine as the only other identified cradle of civilization in the Americas. I hope they cover the Moche on this channel soon they are so fascinating. 🇲🇽❤️🇵🇪

Peru's history is very fascinating.

[@jawjackerent.3148]

I just click on your videos without thought keep making the great content!

[@Simonjose7258]

0:18 Those are earlier from the Paracas culture. Nazca did mostly lines and their figures are made using one constant line. Apparently he's talking about both. The colorful textiles are Paracas as well.

[@TrumpCarson]

Are the Paracas from the same region? I’ve never heard of them!?

[@Simonjose7258]

@@TrumpCarson Yes. They are an earlier culture.

I love ancient art. Also that last gold mask image made me burst out laughing because it reminded me of an evil Squidward

[@lhadzyan7300]

I knew there has been some speculation about the latter little-known Inca creator deity of Kon as the little-remaining reminiscence about the time when the Nazca and the Paracas cultures were highly evolved as he was their main deity, but latter on as some more powerfull cultures coming from the North overthrown them, Kon´s role became very small into a little reference as he got overthrown then by Pachamacac, an alternative version of the Wiracocha god too, pretty ancient one but coming from the northern tradition about a god with staff rightforward from the Chavin de Huantar culture, later the Moche and finally the Chimu, Tiawanaku and Wari. Kon seems to have been a formless or shape-shifting god with huge piercing spectacled-googled eyes, which match perfectly the eerie god creatures from the Paracas and Nazca religious material.

[@alextremodelnorte1905]

Very interesting topic.

[@annalisette5897]

Beautiful video! The Nazca's main god, with the round face, goggling eyes and streamers and long tongue radiating, makes me think of Akhenaten's Aten. Apparently at times the Nazca god was depicted in a solid gold face mask. That god must have been the sun. Though I profess a modern religion, I find the Aten imagery to be comforting. We do not worship the sun at this time but to me the Aten imagery also depicts God, the creator and sustainer of life. Aten depictions show the sun disk, the center of power, with caressing hands reaching down to humans. Some of those hands grasp the ankh, the very symbol of life. I wonder if the Nazca god is viewed the same way? At 0:59 Nazca embroidery is shown. For many years I earned part of my income as a fiber artist and I have done a lot of fine needlework and embroidery. I have seen pictures of Nazca work before and was astonished by the difficult stitches they chose to use. Then I read they used cactus spines as needles. I suspect such needles would not efficiently stab through woven cloth as do our modern metal needles. Thus the Nazca needle workers worked on top of the fabric, choosing a number of techniques similar to knotting. Some sources believe some forms of needlework evolved from making fishing nets. I wonder if this was so for the Nazca?

Good vid

This stone àrt is on a cobblestone the art is well defined and easy to see this storm is so anxious this s*** that exists

[@elevers]

I never knew about their deity - the 'Oculate (?) Being.' That thing is wild.

[@lhadzyan7300]

it´s been suggested was the latter little-known deity of the Inca and other later Pre-Inca people called as Kon, a failled early creator god from a Southern tradition overthrown by the Northern tradition creator god Pachamacac/Wirakocha. Seems as was some continued religious tradition on the different cultures from the North since the Chavin up to the Chimu before the Incas, but also existed some little reference to the Southern higher cultures of the Paracas and Nazca ones.

Is Ventilla in Puno? having a hard time searching for the location exaclty

[@TakittyLove]

No. Ventilla in Ica. A city next to south of Lima

[@seanwhelan879]

No aliens gave these clever people any help, maybe if the discovery channel sends a few Megalithic experts they will find alien evidence and the Nazca people will be made cavemen, great work and research, super narration that's why I am a subscriber. Peace all 🇮🇪

Interesting, they didn't use Quipus, unlike a few other Andean cultures.

[@MilanTheMan69]

Great. At 8 min snake worshiping motive, what is common is ancient societies. Now.. On the other hand "eagle" or "bird" worshiping motive is also spread in ancient times. Also motives where eagle holds snake in his mouth, mostly present in Mexico... Always wondered was these motives related to events in real life at the time.. And was there any story behind that, which we don't know...

[@MrZekinhaluiz]

We literally know.

[@xanv8051]

@@MilanTheMan69 phenomena implies a mystery on why humans should worship animals because that seems logical to me personally but if you mean an actual explanation for each example of this animal worship. Shoot you can't the best you can do is make hypothetical assumptions like this man was wise like a owl so draw him like an owl, haha honestly if your looking for human hybrids good luck stick to the internet cause that science is unethical AF
