Peru's Ancient Solar Observatory

[@michaelgeisdorf6641]

Am loving this ancient observatory study! WOW!

[@Fractalfrog]

awesome! I am the second person to see this. Love your channel

[@WilliamWilliamster]

I posit that something drastic changed the view of the sky or heavens from what it was previously such that people worldwide constructed solar-lunar-astral observatories to track and make sense of these changes. It's reasonable that these projects would have happened within a fairly narrow time period around the world and if we can date one or some fairly accurately then we date all the others to the same narrow time period. Marking celestial events in stone is an excellent way of preservation. Presumably paper type calendars would be made from these observations to facilitate transmission of this knowledge to the population at large so if we can find the oldest calendars around the world with their 'start dates' or how many years have passed since their creation we can estimate when all of this happened, perhaps something like a little over of 5000 years ago. I would also like to point out that it's my understanding the rising and setting of the Moon mirrors that of the Sun, i.e, mirror meaning reverse or of opposite times.

[@Myrddnn]

Nice. I'd never heard of this one before. Thanks.

[@byronlippe]

Love your videos..................

[@nigelren3719]

I watch all your videos.

[@atomicsmith]

It must have a similar effect with Moon cycles. There are 13 towers and 13 lunar cycles equals 364 days.

[@SeethePattern]

Yes just like at Chaco Canyon where they also tracked the moon alignment

[@hughevans4652]

Maybe the desert wasn't desert when these structures were built?

[@SeethePattern]

Indeed and that idea makes much more sense when you examine the other ruins scattered across Peru all seemingly located in dry arid areas. The whole Altiplano plateau was uplifted in the (geologically) recent past!

[@TheFXofNewton]

Hey, Gareth, I was wondering if you're aware of Paul LaViolette and might do a video on his theories and how they relate to Perrat, Lerner, et al. This is also interesting. I enjoy the diversity of topics covered.

[@AAABTonto]

WOW, very very cool !

[@mburnzy9269]

Love the video! Please keep up the great work.👍

[@martinezlucia101]

I’m in awe of your research and drive to learn. I appreciate your efforts! Binge watching your videos and kind of jealous of your brain!!!!😊

[@SeethePattern]

Wow, thank you!

[@sb5838]

Does anyone know of any book that contains most of these observatory complexes? Or recommendations? Thor Heyerdahl continues to impress.

[@milogonzalez1334]

thank you so much! i am loving the new vids on native american and pacific islanders advanced science and engineering capabilities. the taino also revere the pleiades. taino agriculture utilizes mounds called conucos. taino civilization, academically, is said to be rooted in south america. its such a shame that the fire of colonization destroyed all the written works of the central americans. the library of alexandria was a drop in an ocean compared to the vast wealth of knowledge lost in the colonization of turtle island. it is my hypothesis that either turtle island had a much grander, continent spanning civilization that is being covered up by white supremacy or at the very least, the west coast of north and south america was a stop on the silk road and that is being covered up by white supremacy.

[@peterscottmorgan1]

In 'The Story of Adam and Eve', which involves crust displacement theory, Peru was once tropical, then went under the ocean, and now has a high elevation again during the last 2 displacements (possibly over 24k years, with mag pole and physical shifts happening every 12k years). Fossil evidence finds seashells at very high elevations in Peru. I offer this, as, like many other sites across the archeological world, people say that they were 'suddenly abandoned'.

[@SuperFinGuy]

6:30 those places weren't deserts when the structures were built. All that sand and sandstone shows they were probably hit by massive lightning.

[@barrydysert2974]

Fascinating!:-) 🖖

[@flightofarrow]

Beautiful

[@paulmaydaynight9925]

just an observation, if these & all other constructions are still accurate then how do they account for so called continental plate shifts, over a given time frame !

[@critical-thought]

Very interesting. I wonder if what is desert now was once more fertile.

[@SeethePattern]

Yes I think it was and this connects to some of the ideas I have been researching as part of the Pole Shift series

[@critical-thought]

@@SeethePattern Thanks for the reply! Pole shift was on my mind too, as well as continental drift and lift/slump. Love your videos!

[@dougsprojects6431]

@@SeethePattern That was the thought I had on it being far more wet back then. What is the possibility that the uplift happened only a few thousand years ago? Happened quickly, like in a few years, few decades or a hundred year(s) or so?

[@eliotness7274]

Are these dates based on C14 or simply preunderstanding? i've traveled up the Chilean coast to Peru and up upon the Atacama desert to Bolivia.

[@SeethePattern]

Yes to a large extent and discerning who built versus who occupied it makes it even more questionable

[@dmatteo1609]

Loving the content Gareth. Do you think a massive mega thrust earthquake in the Pacific would be able to produce these effects? Seems to be the logical conclusion based on consensus understanding of Geological forces capable of this kind of uplift and Tsunami. I suppose there are (like most phenomenon in nature) mechanisms at work that we are yet to fully understand!

[@boriskaragiannis.7735]

i have a question for you...why you think the technology of fire extinguishing with sound has not improved in order to be mounted in big airplanes and do its job for more than 7 years now...?

[@titanicbigship]

That’s because if you put water on a plane, the plane will become heavier, changing the centre of gravity, but because water is a liquid, the water will go to the new centre of gravity, change it again

[@sbkarajan]

TRUTH!!!!

[@shockwave326]

what if the climate in those areas weren't desert at the time ?

[@Dan-gs3kg]

It'd be like the so called fertile crescent, which is now a desert.

[@SeethePattern]

More than likely it was different in the past

[@bcvc3365]

[@Marcusstratus]

No doubt the world was very different back then...

@@joecaner Yup, completely missing out

[@SeethePattern]

Yes and I suspect the climate in that areas was very different too

[@SernasHeptaDimesionalSpace]

The number 13 some how plays a big role in the Mayans.

[@JoeDeglman]

They thought similar things about the Stonehenge, it was some sort of calendar. But the truth is we plant crops today based upon the calendar and seasons, not by using some large stone structure to tell us what day it is within the seasons. More likely it is as Anthony Peratt shows about the Stonehenge. It is probably a petroglyph rather than an observatory.

[@odogkar]

Today we have calendars and internet. Back in the days they followed their own calendar and these structures were the reference points of their culture. Remove all those facilities we have today and we'll need stone astronomical structures again. Of course not everything is a temple or an astronomical observatory, but ancient cultures had need sky observations due to their religion and culture. Now we have a cancel-culture culture in the west, a non-culture in the middle-east and a relict culture in the east (irony!!!).

[@JoeDeglman]

@@odogkar The question raised has been, why build such a structure and spend your treasure on it just to tell you what day it is, when most people could figure it out in a much simpler way via calendar or sundial. Even if you got rid of all calendars, most farmers would be able to figure out from the solstices, equinoxes, and angle of the Sun when to plant crops. The Stonehenge, has been analyzed as a some sort of solar alignment tool, mainly from a point of view of confirmation bias, and has many different interpretations as to it meaning. But Peratt shows that the Stonehenge design matches the plasma figures discovered in the Los Alamos National Lab. It is more likely just a plasma figure seen in the skies, and/or a religious symbol, than an observatory. See his video "Peratt and Petroglyphs."

[@odogkar]

@@JoeDeglman Your words : why build such a structure and spend your treasure on it just to tell you what day it is, when most people could figure it out in a much simpler way via ... pictures. For them it was somehow important to do it like this, and easy enough, we don't understand their thoughts about this matter.

[@groovytubes9]

Rapa Nui??

[@keithking1985]

SEE IN THE WALLS THEY WAS GUY'S WITH BEARDS DRAWN INTO THEM.. SO WHATS UP WITH THAT... edit: isn't it crazy how all around the world people were obsessed with marking time. and were bloody excellent at doing it too. Think of it, IF the "flood" happened today. we would have to revert to this again. like these people's did. and in no tome at all. our great grand kids would call our time "THE TIME OF MAGIC & WONDERS" ( i just wonder how many time's in the past this has happened? over & over)

[@pokematt5760]

Rapa Nui!!?

[@marcin1699]

The deserts of today used to be lush vegetation of days long gone eg the Sahara…you just need to expand your time scales a bit and accept cyclicality of civilisation and it all starts to make perfect sense

[@bencoad8492]

well yea the Sahara took a couple of decades to go from lush jungle to desert. they don't like people knowing that one, that the climate can actually change very fast and not slow naturally.

[@citizengkar7824]

Another commonality, between the Polynesians & the South American Peoples, is they have a common ancestry, as proven by DNA sequencing. Anyone who still believes this solar/astronomical observatory was constructed only some 2500 years years ago; well, I bet you also believe the World's economy is in good shape.

[@jessicamanchester3148]

I wonder if it could have anything to do with fertility rituals.

[@johndelong5574]

Common motifs, methods, meta physics indicate cmmon origin.
