Derek OlsonGUEST
He showed me, or I saw one of his videos, and it was exactly what you were just describing.

Derek OlsonGUEST
You know, you, you kinda have this picture of what Mayan architecture looks like.

And okay, yes, seven-foot people, the, the percentage of giants that are found in North America, like, i- in some of this stuff, is way more than, you know, you would naturally get occurring in our society.

Some people on our tour were having some crazy experiences at a couple of these sites.

And like, what's up with all the stuff that, why do we see these crazy things that are not talked about in mainstream at all?

Derek OlsonGUEST
I mean, I guess I would say look at this massive effort that we see by the mainstream media and the powers that be, right? Just to feed us this daily diet of what we would call fake news.

Derek OlsonGUEST
If the powers that be will work that hard every day to hide today's real news from us, what lengths do we think they'll go to hide our real history from us? And I think that's what's been going on, because those who control the past...

Derek OlsonGUEST
control the future and so they strategically um i believe there's this i hate to use the word they but it seems like they strategically disinform us regarding the prehistoric past and then it's like they turn it around and accuse us or a guy like graham hancock of spreading disinformation right And so I think almost all of us were brought up to believe, at least from what we learned in school, that ancient times equal primitive times, right? But As you know, as you've been digging into history for a while now, the further we look back into history, when you go to Egypt, you can see actually the more advanced they were.

Derek OlsonGUEST
Coming fresh off of my last Egypt tour in May, I think I came back from this trip with even...

So go ahead and start us off on the journey of Peru and what took you there and all that fun stuff.

Derek OlsonGUEST
And again, just began to realize that all over the world are these megalithic marvels that speak to us from the prehistoric past.

Derek OlsonGUEST
Not literally speak to us, but whether it's the Great Pyramids of Giza, to the subterranean trapezoid in Sardinia, which most people don't know about, to these mortarless walls in Peru.

Derek OlsonGUEST
Um, I believe these are antediluvian pre-flood, uh, most of them, uh, constructions and they were built with a lost ancient technology.

And by by you saying that, are you suggesting that there were giants here in North America? Yeah,

Derek OlsonGUEST
Like, it's one thing to see the photos, and that's kinda really what got me started.

Derek OlsonGUEST
It was, like, around 2012, I was sitting at my computer doing a Google image search for ancient ruins, and up pops, you know, a barrage of photos, and one of them caught my attention, and it stood out from all the rest.

Derek OlsonGUEST
This one photo was the first time I ever saw megalithic, polygonal, precision, multi-ton engineering.

Derek OlsonGUEST
And I remember I clicked on the photo, and it was, uh, I believe from Sacsayhuamán, and I froze in my tracks.

Is this irresponsible? I mean, why would you leave a site so underdeveloped?

So maybe we can talk about that because I think this is a huge thing, and it's just fascinating.

Derek OlsonGUEST
So yeah, I mean, the, the most bizarre elongated skulls anywhere in the world right now that we know of are found in Paracas, Peru, over on the coast, west coast of southern Peru.

Derek OlsonGUEST
And in 19 tw- in the 1920s, there was a Peruvian archeologist who first discovered tombs down there filled with these skeletons that possessed just these massive skulls.

Derek OlsonGUEST
Even to this very day, there's new ones being unearthed, and they all range from about 2,000 to 3,000 years old.
