The Strangest Structures of Ancient Peru

The film tells about the little-known ancient Peruvian monuments, such as the Kasma lines, the Chanquillo temple-fortress, the geoglyphs of Lima, the archaeological complex of Piquillacta. They may not be as impressive, but their origin and purpose are no less a mystery, like the mysteries associated with the world-famous Nazca geoglyphs, the ruins of Machu Picchu, the Sacsayhuaman megaliths in Cusco.

Narcissistic information. You cannot date stone. It's impossible to know how old this is, and they're trying to make us think they know how old it is based on guesswork. Bad guesswork. Tell me, how did they build the pyramids? Gobekli Tepe? How did they carry these huge monoliths? It's fucking impossible, unless humanity or similar creatures developed technology in a different direction and lived in a time we think they didn't. I suggest an alternative theory. Imagine human-like creatures who got further than we have, but who developed a different type of technology than we have. Maybe through different conditions on the planet. Maybe not. Who knows? Anyway, We're finding things that must have been buried since the last ice age and flood. We've had humans close to 3 meters tall in modern times. Is it possible the standard was different before, and that we were a lot bigger? Look at Robert Wadlow, he was 272cm cus of some gland issues. Imagine if that was the way we were supposed to be. 200kgs. Strong like gorillas. Maybe that's what the standard used to be?

Wonderful video! I could have watched another hour of this. Pikillacta 🤯 W O W !

I would love to know more about these civilizations.

[@Yeshuasdaughter888]

@jakemoeller7850 🤓I find these videos on ancient civilizations and ancient history fascinating too. Read the KJV Holy Bible. It's the GREATEST & MOST INCREDIBLE history book of ALL time! It's also the WORD OF THE LIVING GOD & IT'S ALIVE! No joke! If you want to know more about ancient history, ask the Lord God to fill you with His knowledge and to give you His discernment, and then ask for the wisdom to know what to do with it once you gain that knowledge BEFORE you read the Holy Bible. I'm telling you that if you read it just at face value, you will not comprehend the most intriguing & incredible things about the Word of God. The Old Testament is chalked full of these ancient civilizations. There are numerous hybrid (fallen angels/human/animal) & fallen angel cities all over the world that the Lord God Himself destroyed in the world wide deluge OR had His people destroy them because of the continually evil & corrupted 🧬 DNA🧬 that the fallen angels created when they rebelled. Giants and chimera (3rd meaning of the definition chimera) existed & STILL exist today! Aliens from outer space, different universes, & galaxies are not what the majority of the world have been made to "think" or programed to "believe" what they truly are. Aliens = demons. There has been some serious clean ups taking place since the waters resided. They have purposely hid the TRUTH from all of surface dwellers so that we would fall for their narrative/lies in the end times which we are at the end of the end times rn. One of my many testimonies is how the Lord YESHUA/Jesus revealed this truth to me. I have only posted two of my testimonies and if you are interested in listening to the video "Jesus Told Me The Truth About Aliens," you'll need ear buds/head phones bcuz the sound is terribly low. Take care and God bless you and your family in Jesus name.

Chanquillo temple-fortress: Fascinating! The concentric precision, the solstice and N/S orientations of structural aspects speak to sophisticated engineering and precise geometrical layout skills. As do the survivals of the many remarkable macro geoglyphs and megalithic construction located in different regions of Peru. I think Peru has some of the most interesting survivals in need of better understanding. Where are the scholarly Archeologist? Excellent video, well done! TY!

[@vladimircharvat7331]

Where are scholarly Archeologists? Well... these informations about Chankillo are from studied archeologists... Chankillo has been even partly reconstructed (but covid stopped reconstruction). I know what iam talking about, i have been there in may 2022... Most of ruins in Casma valley had been studied by archeologists... Most of work in last decades was done by Sheila and Thomas Pozorski (Las Haldas, Pampa de las Moxeke etc). But also others... For example El Purgatorio was excavated in 2017... Sechin Bajo is being excavated right now... I took a lot of videos in that area, you can check them on my profile.

[@jakemoeller7850]

I agree, William. Chanquillo is fascinating...and beautiful. The aerial views are stunning. How nice it would be to travel back in time to see the purpose for which this monument was constructed.

[@vladimircharvat7331]

@@jakemoeller7850 It was a clearly fort of some kind (maybe sort of communication tower). And why so massive walls? Well, there is usually very strong cold wind from sea. I have been there in tshirt, down in casma was hot, at chankillo, when exposed to wind, it was chilling. Look just few hundert km north to Chan Chan. They builded 13m high walls around palaces and other areas. Because of cold wind. If you shield that wind, you get warm... (there is cold Humboldt stream in pacific ocean coming from antarctic area around south america coast and its very cold... Peru is just bellow the equator and there lives penguins, seals... first 20km from seashore are very cold, you have to shield the wind, than there is about 20km of ht fertile land combined with deserts and than starts andes...)

And btw, at Las Haldas, the same day, 20 km away on coast, I had to take coat not to freeze... The same day we visited El Purgatorio and Pampa de las Moxeke, both lies on other side of valley where chankillo is, and we were dying there of hot air...

Chanquillo was not a temple or fortress - it was a storage facility for people who were living in a tough climate. Food and/or goods stored in round structures, rectangle structure was an administrative/security building for the complex. The entrances limit the flow of people in and out, as well as providing an easy area to defend for security - only single file human entry possible. The fact that there is a hill higher than outer wall perimeter means nothing for defense during the age of simple swords and spears. We have always been "squirreling" food and goods as humanity throughout history - that's why we are still here today. The valley floor covered in broken pieces of pottery supports this idea: massive amount of people bringing and removing items from this location over an extended period of time. I believe we tend to overthink some of these ancient sites as more grandiose and mysterious than what they actually were intended to be used for, by the people who built them. Regarding the alignment and shapes of this structure - we usually do not build ugly things, we take pride in ourselves and our work today. I'm sure it was no different for ancient people - they built beautiful things because they could, and they took pride in their accomplishments.

Thank you for this incredible production!! Entirely amazed especially for those of us deeply fascinated by these ancient civilizations and who've spent so many hours on Google Earth completely bewildered and amazed by such vast complexity, it's wonderful to finally see it up close and within historical context! Peru is underrated as a "Cradle of Civilization" and is one of the greats like Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley as well as others such as Mesoamerica and the Danube civilizations and is as old or older even! If you could do a documentary on their seafaring capabilities, it would be much appreciated! I would expect it to be an overwhelming realization as well, especially when science coins Polynesians as the great oceanic voyagers which one cannot delineate or take the pride of that reality from the ancient peoples, however, traces of ancient civilizations from the America's is evident within other major civilizations and I would love to see Peru take its proper place in the world!

[@calgoodbomb3617]

I think that the numerous rooms could be functional as a seed-bank, along with many separate yard areas for testing crops and isolating male and female plants for breeding purposes. If you look at the thousand of varieties of corn and potato in Peru, you can conclude that large seed banks would play a role in their culture. Agriculture is also given by the gods so it makes sense to see agricultural facilities crossing over with spiritual functions.

I assumed it was designed and built because of a massive society-wide satanic panic (of an appropriate nature to their culture) IOW some sort of freak out or hysteria. What that could have been, or what is the meaning of their response, IDK. My friend thinks it was a giant brothel, and that you would access the chambers from openings in the wooden floor above. He said it's cheaper that way, because there's no f***ing overhead. It... almost seems like none of the theories make sense or entirely fit the evidence or lack thereof... Maybe it was like the Olympics, or an initiation, and one of the tests was you had to go up that "road to nowhere" and make it back to a way point alive (and you couldn't go back down the road). IDK you'd have to think like the people who made the complex, and we don't know how to do that.

Congratulations on this outstanding video, which demonstrates the existence of apparently boundless mysterious structures in the middle of nowhere, along with inexplicable "road-like" lines extending long distances with no conclusive identifiable destinations. Unlike most other archeological sites (including the Mesoamerican counterparts), the Peruvian (Kasma and Nazca) and the Bolivian (Pumapunku) ancient, enigmatic ruins and geoglyphs defy any conceivable purpose. These are not unlike the famous Anatolian neolithic Göbekli Tepe, the purpose of which and its baffling deliberate concealment eludes plausible conclusions...

I As an historian who has had the privilege to study history from primary sources available to serious academics I can assure you that socalled white people and their supporters have no interest in actual history. This is due to the fact that actual history is a history of a particular group of Black people called Israelites who are responsible for everything associated with civilization and culture throughout history. There are no ancient nonBlack people in history due to their inorganic origins and them having been on the planet for six to ten thousand years.

Recarding Casma, I would invite you to consider the Ruin called "La Cantina", one of their corners rise also creating a precise 90° angle.

Also, about Chanquillo, the arial shots, especially at 28:16, make the careful, full destruction look more like not-so-perfect-to-begin-with walls falling slowly over as thousands of years have passed. Just gotta say it. So not really looking like enemy destruction, not really looking like filling in a ritual site in a place with a number of them like Gobekli Tepe. The word "abandoned" with all the connotations the word has in Detroit, Michigan (USA) comes to mind. That would also carry an explanation of why it looks like no one thought the knocked over stone was a worthwhile thing to carry off when they finished. Just, like your local typewriter store, one day, they closed and went home, and no one came back the next day.

The Chanquillo observatory is actually quite similar to Uraniborg made by Tycho brahe to observe the motion of the stars and planets. From there Johannes Kepler worked out the mathematics of how the planets orbited the sun. The various towers and platforms likely had astronomical instruments on them to make the observations.

[@iforce2d]

I don't see why the 'fortress' would not have military value as you suggest. It is built in a location with extremely good views in most directions. The walls even in their current state are high enough to pose a decent defense, and they would have been higher originally. The towers could could easily have been high enough to see over the crest of the hill you mentioned. The choke points in the walls are perfect for forcing one enemy soldier at a time to enter, and be attacked from both sides, while not even being able to see how many more such corners they might have to deal with. I'm also skeptical that it was deliberately destroyed - for one thing there is no evidence of that, the masonry is not very durable looking and I would expect the damage could easily have been caused by earthquakes. Plus, military acquisitions with high long-term value like that are rarely wasted. Regarding the layout of the walls, that actually doesn't seem very difficult. An arc can easily be drawn fixing a rope at one end and walking around with the other end pulled tight. Joining two such arcs with their tangent line is done just by walking the circumference of one and stopping when the other circle is no longer 'behind' the one you're standing on - do that for both sides and make a straight line between them. To make the walls 'ignore' the uneven terrain beneath, perhaps that's what the outer pedestals were used for. Make all the pedestals the same height, draw a rope tight between them. Then walk around with a rope pulled tight by the end of a pole held vertical, and let it lightly rest on the rope between the pedestals. This will let you 'project' the circle downward onto the terrain. hmm... looking at the video again after writing that, the pedestals don't seem like they would go high enough, and some are a little far out, so maybe not. But in general that method would work. btw aligning with the solstice line is not hard either. Sure, finding the angle the first time requires watching the sun at those times of year, but after that you can just relate it to the north-south line, which is easy to find on any day of the year. You can do that by noting the length of sides on a right-angle triangle, eg. a 345 triangle always has angles of 53.13 and 36.87 degrees. After you find the north-south line, just use the rope pulling method again and scale the lengths up if you need more accuracy. So those factors don't seem like much of a mystery to me. The main things that puzzle me are: why they would want two separate towers so close to each other, and why was it important to use the solstice lines?

So many of these ancient structures give the impression that they've suffered great water damage. Many of them and the areas around them appear as though they would've been underwater for a significant amount of time.

[@0verfiend]

Lol. What are you talking about.

[@victorarata4138]

Peru es amazing country

[@m.talmagemoorehead]

"Fortress" not "forest." Great speaking voice, dude! Fascinating video, too. Thank you for your hard work and brilliant analysis!

[@aaroniouse]

I get the feeling that the temple fortress was a place for sport-fighting.

nagyon igényes értékes film, köszönet a készítőknek

[@fredsilvers1427]

I haven't looked, but if you check key points and boundaries within the structure (edges, walls, etc), you'll find distances of 12' or multiples thereof. This was positioned and built in conformance with the properties required to manipulate scalar physics. This was but a small component among a worldwide construct of Babylon. The lines are part of it, too.

[@julieanntregeagle2594]

Excellent, extremely professional and well produced video with captivating narration. I’ve never heard of any of these place!

[@lararain2801]

Thank you

[@SMakhdoom]

Just bring these amazing structures to the attention of the 'Ancient Aliens' makers, and then see how fast they become famous!

[@kathybradbury]

Thank you for such an exquisitely detailed overview of these mysterious ancient constructions. Seeking to understand the “why” of some of the constructions, my mind was brought back to some ancient text found in the Qumran caves and others. The fallen angels were said to have taught technologies to man such as warfare, geology, architecture…and their offspring are said to have been strange and varied types of super-human entities. Some of these offspring were giants, some were monstrous -and it is said they pushed men into their service until man couldn’t keep up with their demands; then they began to devour them. Some of these constructions make sense if you consider the cruelty of the relief carvings shown in the first chapter of this documentary. I see how blind corners, tiny dwellings with thick walls, and lack of easy movement in and out would all be advantageous for a prison.

[@Foxglove963]

Kathy Bradbury. Those who wrote that silly paranoid stuff has too many bad accacia trips. Everything in Peru can be reasonably explained by thought, consideration, orientation and measure.

[@bortsynapse3503]

Fantastic. My guess is they were using tidal forces to generate energy somehow. The nacza lines is the conduit, the buildings do something with water and the tide, just a guess.

[@flosslittle5231]

Thank you, absolutely fascinating 💚

[@dvlofaustin]

It's a ancient, remote research facility devoted to science! The two towers generated electricity.

[@danielmcmindes5112]

the huge structure at Piquillacta reminds me of a modern day mausoleum. i have been to a few. family crypts larger, many of the poor were grouped. none of the rooms were really connected except by a hall way. no windows and few doors. the lack of artifacts might also give credence to the idea that it would have been a place of the dead.

[@modulator7861]

Fascinating! Maybe the rooms within the Piquillacta complex were designed to be accessed via rooftop doors, like other ancient settlements such as Catalhoyuk?

[@johnedwards3621]

Re the straight Kasma lines with parallel stone mini-walls, and periodic camp fires: About 40 years ago I met a woman who recently returned to the USA after owning a modern home perched on a hill in Columbia, where at its base a road passed by her gate. She described a scene she often saw -- a walking woman, with a child, and an iron pot. They'd ocassionally stop to prepare a meal and spend the night lying beside the road. She said sight reminded her of something out of this world. My reply was imagine how that mother & child felt looking up at a modern mansion set on top of a hill with plants and a fence all around. I suggest that what you see in those parallel lines are borders to catch the unwarry foot that might have strayed from a path along the way when travelling night and day. Camp fires stones would have marked the distance since they'd last stopped, while providing a convenience for their cooking pot. It is interesting to think that the person I met may have witnessed an every day site that lasted more than 4,000 years old. To a hungry person, a hot meal and a safe place is much more than a ritual.

[@yedidyah-jedshlomoh1533]

It is common in many cultures to build buildings and have wood roofs with a doorway at the top. That is why there are no doorways.

[@Scribe333]

any potential to have Lidar work done at Piquillacta?

[@ombiofilms]

Of course. The water supply system has not yet been studied. The existence of underground structures is not ruled out.

[@toniomalley5661]

Such a pity these things are being destroyed everywhere great programs guys

[@MatthieuSCHREK]

Thank you for sharing. This content is gold, really. The structures shown are not related to megaliths, but their geometry sure is unique. How cool would it be to be able to take a peek at the past of those parts ?! One can dream...

[@kinetic5808]

Моя версия в том, что Комплекс Питиякта с замкнутыми помещениями без следов крыш - это система хранения. Судя по танкам, состоящим из нескольких стен с рёбрами жёсткости, которые чередуются через один с танками с одинарными стенами, предполагаю, что там хранились насыпные грузы. Возможно, это были расходные материалы, типа металлолома или ценной руды. Вообще, такая система хранения с ячейками разных размеров и множеством мелких ячеек похожа на лоток, который используется при сборке сложной аппаратуры. Возможно в некоторых ёмкостях была жидкость, но не похоже. К нужным ёмкостям можно пройти с корзиной по стенам и высыпать нужный груз в нужную камеру. Впрочем, ДВЦ скорее всего наполняла их с воздуха. Ведь рисунки на плато Наска они же рисовали с воздуха. (Версию про рисунки я пока не готов изложить публично). Если Вам, Игорь, интересно, я бы пообщался по поводу рисунков, мне кажется, я бы мог подкинуть полезные мысли.

[@denisepaisley160]

I can't help but think that many of the precise buildings and "roads" appear to resemble computer chips and motherboards.

[@Monster12367]

I'm guessing that the entire mid to southern region of the pacific from the area around Easter Island all the way to the west coast of South America, there are ruins buried in the sea, from civilizations lost before the great flood. The seas rose 400 feet at the end of the last ice age.

[@stefanschleps8758]

Thank you. Well done! The photography and background sound help bring the story here to life. I have heard of other lesser known pre-Mayan cultures and structures before, but not these. I am willing to bet that Chanquillo is a ceremonial site. It occurs to me that it was a place of one of the "mystery religions" like once thrived around the Mediterranean Sea, as in Greece and Crete and Egypt. A place where pilgrims would go to invoke the Gods for a transformative experience. One wherein the supplicant would fast, contemplate the questions of their heart, meditate and pray before arriving. Then after receiving instructions from a priesthood, be given an hallucinogenic drug, and guided through the circles a proscribed number of times, all the while priests would play instruments and or chant hymns and further prayers, as the pilgrim went through the ego death and subsequent rebirth. A lucrative business we can be sure. We appreciate your sharing with us. New sub.

[@frankbarron1907]

Would be fascinating if a study using LIDAR were to carried all around these “lines”. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to learn that so much more is hidden from view.

[@SereneSoundscapesofficial]

These 'lines' are paths leading to mountains firstly because the mountains acted as natural barriers to the populace. Second they lead to mountains because these mountains were the original method of observational Astronomy and served as organic landmarks for telling time which was highly important for agriculture and other aspects, for example human reproduction occurring on moon phases or in line with Venus transits allowed them to know when a baby would be born. The lines most likely will point toward significant solar events such as the equinox and are seemingly a transitional marker in geoglyph evolution. As we can see the Nazca images are much more complicated and likey represent constellations

[@pinkgarage]

some estimates have range of about 1200 years between major flooding events 1A and 1B, and it's likely that there were 1000's of others, of lesser magnitude (new evidence of possible meteor blast high up in Andes), and looking at the landscape it shows, beautiful video, provides an amazing perspective, Piquillacta blows my mind! That looks like highly organized production, and protection of a facility, but the scale is staggering for whatever period of ancient history, the images from above certainly give it a whole other perspective, and those rooms look more like part of production/processing plant and size and implication of that is boggling, all requiring a high level of skill and organization, over an equally humungous civilization! btw, nice drone footage Igor, and well edited. 😉 Looking at ChanquiLLo, my guess would be a high ground "sanctuary" and astronomical, mystical, environmental look out, considering the view up and down the valley 24:34 , cause it looks as though it was designed with flood protection in mind (inundation, especially debris flow, double wall would allow some water but outer wall would protect inner wall, the fault could have been where high water drained?) high ground to escape flooding in valley ? and there seems to be evidence of water events..., and some long beFore and long after these structures and monuments were created..., Chankillo fortress looks like it situated on top of a massive bedrock outcrop partially covered by alluvial fan along the edge of a giant glaciated valley, and those dunes appear more like massive water ripples, particularly around 13 Towers, another rock outcrop that can withstand massive flood events, and appears to be looking up valley, upstream? it's hard not to consider that for those cultures that survived catastrophes, they likely thought about and planned what to do in event of future events, and the need to continue to pass the message/story along, till they couldn't, to future generations, who in turn may have erected safeguards and sanctuaries? the Lines...can be done using simple citing sticks, three straight sticks works good, (was done for years in mineral exploration) And yeah, some of lines could be boundaries, washed away and rebuilt, BuT they are monstrously long and cover incredible topography? though no one has yet to properly address the perspective from above, especially those that can only be seen from above, high above, who the intended viewer was? and finally, reminds me that we still live in post- glacial times, with glaciers still melting today, 1000's of years later, not all of it over night... fascinaTing! 👍

[@ThomiX0.0]

Good job! Showing just Facts..:-)

[@mohinderkumar7298]

Mars and Peru look similar topography.

[@toosiyabrandt8676]

Hi That’s because ‘Mars’ IS Peru! ( We can’t get past the Firmament/ Van Allen radiation belt) Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua returning soon to reign over the world from Jerusalem forever.

[@thenepalesefeminist414]

It is very interedting i have never visited Peru even i don't know anything about this country. But recently about 10 days ago i have seen this chsmkilo forest temple during meditation.

[@bubashalom8274]

You know, this structure looks very much like the strange anomaly they found at the bottom of the sea in the the Balkan sea; recently while hunting for treasures, you know, it looked like a spacecraft in star wars. Very much like it.

[@rogbow69]

Amazing..why have these ruins been ignored by the main media ?

[@WinkWinkNodNod]

The Chanquillo and especially the Piquillacta remind me of a few things. Satellite Calibration, Computer Chips, RFID. Is it possible that this is a scannable object that contained information or energy, meant to be scanned from the air or higher?

[@EyeWonderOne]

Great comment!

[@holdmybeer]

very good.
