Peru discovery 2025

Can’t get at the info as it is paywalled.

that raises red flags to me. But the pics are cool: Twitter link to bigger pics

I hope that this proves true and valid...

It is the kind of hearsay report, with A-list referenced names, technical terms...
it could be click-bait or maybe not.

But sorry, I'm not paying.

Nevertheless, megaliths are always interesting.

Timothy is an interesting dude. Heart of gold, a burning passion. I hope he finds what he seeks.

Would be nice if Graham Hancock goes and investigates, so we can all learn about it.

Interesting, in the picture of the wall, the "rail" that runs along it almost looks metal, and it looks like there is some kind of "bracket" or "pipe" holding it up in the middle.

A better headline would be "Graham Hancock discovers basalt flows!"

The Pacific side of Peru is volcanic, and a large part of that is sheets of basalt.  Rocks shaped by humans look different -- look closely and you can see the layers in the rock and how they are actually continuous horizontal lines (extending across the blocks.)  There's some wavering (up and down motions) in the lighter blocks that are matched (and rather roughly; not tightly fitted, like stonework) by the darker blocks above.

That's a sure sign that it's geology.

Ancient human stonework isn't that neat and tidy.  If you look at the grain in other monoliths, you will see that the blocks must have been moved because features (sedimentary lines) don't appear in the same location across a 20 foot section of multiple blocks.

Good GAWD, Byrd! do you actually believe the shiz you spew? I understand that you cling to your archeological credentials. However, where is the limit on new discoveries? It's like you're a broken record anytime a new discovery is unveiled. What's concerning, is the fact that you discount any prior advanced civilization. The evidence is overwhelmingly there. Deny it all you want.

Too early to speculate too much me thinks.

Either completely geological as Byrd thinks or built using Magic by people in the middle of nowhere.

Everybody's right, and wrong "ish".

I just want to have a slide down the slope and climb the wall.

Oh, no doubt there are a lot of unfound cities and villages there.  But that wasn't one of them. Human built things will have certain properties, even if it's just rough cut rocks that were stacked without mortar.  Humans also make use of flat basalt surfaces as roads...though they didn't create the road.

But the things he's pointing to are geology, not archaeology. 

Here's a case where radar surveys can better identify lost places and "unusual lumps to be investigated."

Great points all around.

look forward to the lidar imagery. As has been pointed out there are a lot of cities they are discovering with lidar.

The 4 or 5 pics look great.  I'm not sure what exactly is paywalled but I'd really just like to see more photos.  

I've been thinking about it a lot, the last couple years: The ancient timeline of the Younger Dryas Event hitting about twelve thousand yrs ago... which triggered 5000 years of warm rains and flooding, including Egypt and throughout Africa, etc.

Then once that calmed down, civilization began to develop again, as the Bible timeline is said to be some 6000 years since the Beginning.  Because it's 6000 yrs since the flood abated, and the start of the Bible's recorded history begins, apparently.  

I've been thinking about it so much because it makes everything click into place.  The Bible's Great Flood, timeline, etc.  When the YD Event hit, twelve thousand yrs ago, the stone pyramids and structures were largely melted into the forms we see now as mountains, plus the 5000yrs rains and floods have covered mostly everything with deep layers of soil and vegetation, like the ruins in the pics are showing being buried in jungle. 

Easter Island is a great example of the whole place being flooded and filled in with deep soil deposits that buried the statues, imo.  

Egypt pyramids and ruins are so well-preserved because of the dry climate, I believe there are similar ruins everywhere but they're mostly covered from the wetter climates burying them in vegetation and soil, especially from those 5000yrs after the YD Event.

Some day humanity needs to wake up that we're living on top of ancient ruins everywhere and we're only now beginning to realize it.
