Julia JonesHOST
11:13
It really does.
Adrian SmithHOST
11:14
And the physical proof isn't just in the text, right? Look at Pumapunku in Bolivia.
Julia JonesHOST
11:19
Oh, Pumapunku is astounding.
Adrian SmithHOST
11:21
We are talking about massive H-shaped stone blocks cut with the precision of a modern 3D printer.
Julia JonesHOST
11:27
And we really must emphasize the material here.
Adrian SmithHOST
11:32
Which means what, exactly?
Julia JonesHOST
11:34
On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, they are incredibly dense.
Julia JonesHOST
11:38
Ancient cultures with just copper tools and sand simply could not achieve the perfect interlocking internal right angles we see at Pumapunku.
Matthew LaCroixHOST
23:38
There are no mistakes.
Matthew LaCroixHOST
23:40
These are laser cut, and I would consider this on par, if not the finest megalithic work in the world, on par with Tiwanaku and Pumapunku in Bolivia.
Matthew LaCroixHOST
23:52
Now, if I was to imagine, how would you create these? Well, you couldn't, you couldn't use Iron Age tools.
Matthew LaCroixHOST
23:59
That's out.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
34:17
With that kind of precision, a stonemason, like give me an example.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
34:22
There have been stonemasons that have brought into Tiwanaku, in Pumapunku in Bolivia, which also has laser-like cut edges and symbols, just very similar to this.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
34:32
In fact, we're gonna talk about a lot of parallels to that today.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
34:35
They've been brought into that and they're like, I couldn't do this.

Matt LaCroixGUEST

There's always three levels every time.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
58:53
Anytime you see these ancient motif designs, you see this type of pyramid-like, three-level pyramid design or a three-level kind of entranceway.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
59:03
Like, for instance, if you look at the Gate of the Sun at Tiwanaku and Pumapunku, there's a doorway there.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
59:08
If you look at the backside of that, there are three levels to that.
Jim VieiraGUEST
36:51
Can't get a razor blade between them.
Jim VieiraGUEST
36:53
You know, how the hell do you do that? Then you get in Puma Punku and you have granite and diorite with interior cross cuts.
Jim VieiraGUEST
37:01
You need, you can't do that with copper tools and you need advanced mathematics.
Jim VieiraGUEST
37:05
I try to produce a lot of content and not to theorize too much and, you know, just to give people a lot of information that they never heard of.
Graham HancockGUEST
59:33
That H, you have these huge H blocks.
Graham HancockGUEST
59:38
Pumapunku
Graham DunlopHOST
59:38
too,
Graham HancockGUEST
59:38
right? Pumapunku.
Graham HancockGUEST
59:40
So, you know, this is, there are extraordinary interlocking series of connections all over And the mainstream paradigm of our prehistory is finding it harder and harder to explain them.
Graham HancockGUEST
59:53
And at a certain point, the public gets fed up with archaeologists saying that this is all just pseudoscience.
Jim VieiraGUEST
27:06
These protrusions, they call them knobs.
Jim VieiraGUEST
27:09
You have these sites like Sacsayhuaman in Peru and Ollantaytambo and Tiahuanaco, Pumapunku.
Jim VieiraGUEST
27:15
Then you have the pyramids.
Jim VieiraGUEST
27:16
The middle pyramid is cased with granite stones, and it's like pillowing with tight fits of granite with these knobby protrusions, and they can't be used for lifting.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
5:24
So we went there and we were exploring the sites that have really become, I guess, the core of my research and what I'm doing, which isn't really just Turkey because the symbols and the stonework and a lot of what we see, we then find a lot of other places in the world, such as in Peru.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
5:42
Ollantaytambo, for instance, as well as like Tiwanaku and Pumapunku in Bolivia, and then even places like Saudi Arabia, as well as like Angkor Thom in Cambodia.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
5:52
We're finding these symbols and these ancient structures that seem to have connections around the world.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
5:58
So we visited, the three sites we visited, the primary was, of course, Ionis Kalesi, which Ionis Legacy is the name of my company, after that unbelievably incredible temple that Once the world finally understands what that temple is and how old it is and the symbols, I think it'll be one of the most holy temples on earth in the future.

Even in understanding our divinity of who we are, not coming from a place of being primitive, but coming from a place of almost divinity and then falling down to a place that's very primitive and forgetting everything, losing all of what we knew and having to start over again and thinking that we're at the pinnacle of our entire civilization.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
60:44
And I would argue we're not.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
60:46
I would say that these previous civilizations that built things like Saskia Oman and Oye Titombo and Cusco and Tiwanaku and Pumapunku and the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx and Baalbek Lebanon and Ionis and Kef Kalesi.
Matt LaCroixGUEST
61:03
And there's many, many others.
Billy CarsonHOST
3:17
We'll cross into Bolivia to explore Tiwanaku and its lithic museum.
Billy CarsonHOST
3:22
the Akapana Pyramid, the Kalasaya Temple, and the semi-subterranean temple, the Sun Gate, and the astonishing precision ruins of Puma Punku, one of the most amazing and astonishing sights that you'll ever see in the world.
Billy CarsonHOST
3:38
Finally, we set sail across Lake Titicaca to experience Eurus floating islands and the ancient traditions of Tequil Island.
Billy CarsonHOST
3:47
Throughout this journey, we'll stay in incredible luxury hotels, enjoy amazing food, and travel with a community passionate about ancient civilizations, lost technology, spirituality, and discovery.
Mr. EHOST
43:25
Kaka?
Jay CloneHOST
43:26
Uh, that's near Puma Punku.
Jay CloneHOST
43:29
Is it? Yeah, but South America, yeah.
Jay CloneHOST
43:31
Which I think Lake Titicaca stands for, uh...
Gil RosenGUEST
104:36
Eventually, they give us knowledge.
Gil RosenGUEST
104:38
Everything that happened here on Earth, the megalithic structures, one of the most amazing sites I like is Pumapunku in Bolivia.
Gil RosenGUEST
104:49
I think
AdamHOST
104:49
it's
Gil RosenGUEST
104:52
These are not like regular megalithic structures with mega stones and like the pyramids.
Gil RosenGUEST
104:57
This is like industrialized template H blocks.
Gil RosenGUEST
105:03
Just do Pumapunku.
Gil RosenGUEST
105:04
Yeah, I've never even heard of this.
