A
Me too.
- [00:43]
B
I've been following you on all your social and everything you're doing and I don't, I don't know a lot about it. And that's why you're here, because I want to learn.
- [00:51]
A
Well, I'm a big fan of your show.
- [00:53]
B
Oh, thank you, thank you. Appreciate that. But yeah, I just have a ton of rabbit holes to go down today, so hope you're in for it. But. All right, everybody starts off with a introduction here. So, Tim Albarino, a modern day adventurer who traded high school for the wilds of the Amazon jungle at age 18. A self taught explorer whose curiosity led you to uncover a lost city in the Andes. An author whose books Bright right and your edition of the book of Enoch. Deep dive into humanity's origins and ancient mysteries. A researcher unafraid to tackle the bizarre from the face peeler phenomena in Peru to UFO encounters and alien abduction theories. Host of the Albarino Analysis, a platform where you unpack the unexplained from ancient megaliths to potential extraterrestrial tech. A storyteller whose experiences living with monkeys and tarapoto, studying legends of giants and exploring Nazca's tridistal mummies make you a unique voice in the world of alternative history. A husband, a father of five children and most importantly, a Christian.
- [02:09]
A
That is quite the thorough introduction there. I appreciate it.
- [02:13]
B
Love how you met your wife, man. That was super cool to hear. Like, yeah, she's great that you guys grew up together.
- [02:20]
A
Yep. Yeah. My father was a pastor and we grew up in the same church together and we, we fell in love because we both had a dream and we like. I fell in love with her when I woke up from my dream and she fell in love with me when she woke up from her Dream. And then her dream actually came to fruition in Peru. Like, literally what she saw in her dream happened.
- [02:41]
B
What did she see in the dream?
- [02:43]
A
Oh, God. You'd have to ask her. But it was. We were sitting against this brick wall at nighttime and. And we were in Peru and the whole scene. She saw the whole scene. And I was in Peru with her and we were on this trip and I was sort of acting as like her tour guide. And one night I decided, like, I was in love with her and I decided I need to tell her. And so I took her down the street and we sat in front of my friend's house in Peru. Dirt road, brick wall. And we sat there and we talked. And she was just amazed because this literally was the scene in her dream. Wow. And that's when we really decided we're gonna get married.
- [03:31]
B
Right there?
- [03:32]
A
Pretty much, yeah.
- [03:33]
B
That's awesome, man. So how long was it until you got married?
- [03:39]
A
I don't remember. It was not long. Like months. It was months. We actually had a secret wedding. We had a secret wedding and then we had an official wedding.
- [03:47]
B
Nice.
- [03:48]
A
And I wanted a Braveheart wedding.
- [03:51]
B
That's awesome.
- [03:52]
A
And so I actually. I had a cloak. My friend. My friend Jenny bought me a cloak at a Renaissance fair one time and I actually wore this cloak in Peru. And big Lord of the Rings fan. And Chronicles of Narnia, all that stuff, all those fantasy novels. And I wanted our wedding to be special and the way that we wanted it to be. I never liked traditional weddings. So we decided to get married in the woods. And I wore my cloak and she. She dressed up in. In. In a very interesting, unique outfit. And we went into the park at night. We had a friend of ours marry us because we wanted to do that Braveheart wedding. But then we did have the official wedding afterward too, and my dad officiated it, so that was really special.
- [04:37]
B
Oh, that is awesome.
- [04:38]
A
My dad was a pastor, so. Yeah. Very unusual story of how my wife and I met and she's just been phenomenal. The best wife that I could possibly have ever desired, so.
- [04:48]
B
Well, I'm happy for you guys. So you're like a modern day Indiana Jones. Seems like to me.
- [04:56]
A
Well.
- [04:56]
B
And you know, I've doven into the UFO extraterrestrial stuff and I don't know, man. I don't know what I think about it all, but I'm really curious. You know, what I notice is a lot of these guys that are into that stuff are not Christian. And so I'm really interested in your views on all that stuff, but we'll get into that a little bit later.
- [05:19]
A
Yeah. So definitely.
- [05:21]
B
I think you'll have a unique perspective, and I'm looking forward to hearing it. But couple things, everybody gets a gift.
- [05:28]
A
Oh, great. Wow.
- [05:30]
B
Vigilance Elite. Gummy Bears. Made in the usa.
- [05:33]
A
That's great.
- [05:34]
B
There's nothing weird in there other than a bunch of sugar and probably food dyes and, you know, all the shit that's bad for you.
- [05:40]
A
So these aren't marijuana gummies?
- [05:41]
B
No, no. I'm sor. Sorry. I'm sorry. We can't hand those out here.
- [05:45]
A
Well, thank you so much.
- [05:46]
B
You're welcome. And then we have a Patreon account. It's quite the community. They've been here since the beginning. And so I give the opportunity for them to ask each and every guest a question. So this is from Lucinda Carey. What are your thoughts on the flood? Your thoughts on the construction as described in the Bible, how the animals traveled, and do you think the ark is located in Turkey?
- [06:16]
A
Okay, so what are my thoughts on the flood? Generally speaking, it's actually a really good question because there's a lot of different opinions, scholarly opinions, in regard to the flood of Noah. Of course, you have the traditional. You have the traditional narrative that most Christians subscribe to that every square inch of planet Earth was covered in water, that the tip of Mount Everest was underwater, and that the flood was universal in that sense. Then you have a lot of scholars who subscribe to a local flood theory or regional flood theory that posits that the flood was localized to the ancient near east or to the Mediterranean, that maybe the Mediterranean Sea is what flooded. And so the civilizations, the known world at the time was absolutely destroyed, was brought to ruin in this aqueous cataclysm. But it was localized. And there's a lot of good scholars who subscribe to the local flood, and they use the text. I mean, the support for their theory comes from the text. They use the same words that describe the flood in the Bible, and they derive a different meaning from those words. And then there's a theory that I subscribe to, which is a global cataclysm. So I believe that the entire Earth was subjected to cataclysm, but that the effect of the cataclysm was variegated depending on where you happen to be located on planet Earth. So if you were living in the coastal regions or on the bank of a river, you experienced an aqueous cataclysm, in other words, catastrophic flooding. And if you were living on the bank of the Mediterranean, catastrophic flooding. But if you were living in the mountains or a different region of the Earth, you would have experienced a cataclysm, but with, with different effects. I think that there was extreme volcanism, I think that there was massive earthquakes and I think what precipitated the flood, I'm persuaded at this point that what precipitated the flood was a comet impact or an asteroid impact sometime around 12,000 years ago in the neighborhood of 10,000 BC. And this of course is known as the younger driest impact hypothesis. That during the end of the last ice age there was a cataclysmic impact on the North American ice sheets, specifically the Laurentide ice sheet, which was a mile to two miles thick, and that the ice sheet was bombarded by these celestial objects and it it that catalyzed a cataclysm of unprecedented magnitude that would have resulted in catastrophic flooding, mile high tidal waves, extreme volcanism. Everything that I mentioned previously, does this.
- [09:41]
B
Line up with Noah when he was alive.
- [09:43]
A
So you have, within Christianity you have different thoughts in regard to the age of the earth, the fundamentalist views that the earth is 6,000 years old and they don't allow for any more time. In regard to the flood event, I'm not a young earth creationist. I think that the Earth is very old and I think that the creation of humanity goes deeper into the past.
- [10:09]
B
Really?
- [10:09]
A
Yeah.
- [10:10]
B
So what do you think of Adam and Eve then?
- [10:12]
A
I think Adam and Eve, I think Adam and Eve were real. I mean, I think we all come from a common ancestor from Adam and Eve. I do not subscribe to the theory of evolution by natural selection. I think that's a theory in crisis by the way. I think it's becoming less feasible by the day. Evolution by natural selection. So I don't subscribe to that. I just think that the flood, that this event which decimated, annihilated the megafauna, this was the megafaunal extinction, right? We know that that happened. We know that at one time, right here where we're sitting, there were mastodons, saber toothed tigers, short faced bears, giant sloths roaming this land and all over the world. And then suddenly something happened overnight that absolutely liquidated these creatures from the face of the earth. And again I at this point am persuaded that that was the younger driest impact event. And this by the way, in my opinion is the cataclysm that's described in the pages of scripture. The cataclysm that we read about in Genesis in The Book of Genesis. And in the Mediterranean area, it would have manifested most prominently in catastrophic flooding. I mean, if you have a mile high tidal wave sweeping across the ocean, whatever civilization is inhabiting the coastal regions is gone. I mean, totally, totally wiped out. I mean, there would be almost nothing left of that civilization. Those waves would be powerful enough to wash away every vestige of those civilizations, any coastal region, even on rivers. But specifically those who are inhabiting the coastal regions and in North America. Let's assume for a moment that this is true, that the Younger Dreis impact hypothesis is true and that either a fragment of an asteroid or fragments of an asteroid bombarded the Laurentide ice sheet. Well, you would have a tidal wave because a lot of that would be instantly vaporized, but it would be certainly instantly liquefied. You would have a tidal wave sweeping across the continental United States from the meltwater, from the glaciers and all of that ice. And so you would literally, it would absolutely devastate human beings everywhere on planet Earth, all of these cataclysmic events happening simultaneously. And if it was an impact, it could also precipitate, and I think it did, what's called an impact winter, which is very much like a nuclear winter. You have the impact and you have all that debris going up into the atmosphere. It lingers in the atmosphere. You get black rain, by the way. And there's, there's ancient testimony of black rain in regard to this cataclysm. And it would block out the sun and it would create an impact winter and the Earth would be locked into a deep freeze again. And all of this seems to correlate to correspond to the Younger Dryas impact event.
- [13:41]
B
Do you think the Ark is in Turkey?
- [13:45]
A
It very well could be. I'm not sure if that particular site, I don't remember the name of the site in Turkey, but I'm sure you've seen it where it looks like the shape, the outline of a boat. I'm not sure that that's the location of the Ark. I know some people have gone looking for the Ark in Mount Erat and different places in the Middle east, and it wouldn't surprise me if artifacts of the Ark still remain. So, yeah, I do, by the way, subscribe to a literal Ark, a literal Noah. Right. So I certainly subscribe to all of that. I just think that the cataclysm was much more complex than we're accustomed to contemplating as Christians.
- [14:35]
B
Interesting. Have you ever, have you looked at this, this underground, I think this underground city? I think it's in Turkey?
- [14:44]
A
Yeah.
- [14:45]
B
What is that?
- [14:46]
A
Well, that's very interesting. You know, I don't remember the name of it and I don't remember how deep it goes, but I've watched documentaries on it. And it's very sophisticated, complex system of tunnels. And for whatever reason, those people decided that they needed to live underground.
- [15:02]
B
It's like.
- [15:03]
A
Which we're doing again, by the way.
- [15:04]
B
It's like thousands and thousands. It could hold thousands and thousands and thousands of people.
- [15:10]
A
That's right. Maybe in anticipation of cataclysm.
- [15:13]
B
So you think they had a heads up?
- [15:15]
A
I do. How would they have had a heads up? The ancients were tracking cataclysm because it's cyclic. This is the purpose of the zodiac. The purpose of the zodiac is not to figure out what your sign is and you know, what sort of attributes that means for you this month, like we do. That's very superficial.
- [15:38]
B
You don't read your horoscope?
- [15:39]
A
No. The horoscope is superfluous and superficial and it's meaningless. It means nothing. The zodiac has a much more profound meaning that we've forgotten, but that the ancients were well aware of. And this is why you find the zodiac represented everywhere, all over the Earth. And it's the same, the same signs, the same 12 signs. It's very ancient. And the zodiac, the primary function, although there's a lot, there's very complex, there's a lot that goes on with the zodiac. But the primary function of the zodiac is to calculate cyclic cataclysm. And this is based on axial precession, the precession of the equinox and the fact that the Earth is tilted on 23 degree angle and, and that, you know, the position of the stars seems to change from our perspective over time. The great year is nearly 26,000 years. Takes to complete one full wobble of the earth. I think it's 25,920 years to complete one of these because the Earth is, you know, it's tilted on axis and it wobbles like a top, like a spinning top. But it wobbles at a very, very slow rate. And it takes a long time to complete that circuit. And that's known as a great year. And that is fundamentally what the zodiac is tracking. Because the zodiac is divided into 12 houses. Each house has a particular sign associated with it. And each sign represents an age, an astrological age or an astronomical age. And each age is 2,160 years and there's 12 of them. And so when we talk about the different ages and let's go back to the biblical narrative here. When in the Bible you read that Jesus talks about the end of the age and his disciples talk about the end of the age, well, there's two things going on there. There's the astronomical age, that is the age of Christ, which is Pisces. Pisces is the fish, right? The sign of Pisces. Pisces is a fish. And the sign of Christ in the early church was a fish. And of the Christian community. And we're still in the age of Pisces, and we're transitioning into the age of Aquarius. And these ages are calculated on the vernal equinox. So, like on March 21, if you look due east on March 21, just before the sun rises, you're going to see a particular zodiacal constellation sitting on the horizon. And the sun is rising up into this constellation. And if it's the vernal equinox, you can know what age you're in, what astronomical astrological age you're in, because whatever that constellation is on the horizon on the vernal equinox that the sun is rising into, that tells you the age.
- [18:39]
B
So what happens at the new age?
- [18:40]
A
So the age squared, that's an age. So those are astrological ages, each one of the houses of the zodiac, and then you have groupings of them. So you have the fixed points of the zodiac, which are Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo, and Taurus. And in between these fixed cardinal points, you have three houses of the zodiac, three ages. And the ancients knew that the cataclysm was cyclical. And when you transition, and the grouping of these three astrological ages is called an aeon. This is what the Greeks referred to as an aeon. And when you transition from one aeon to the next, and an aeon has a duration of 6480 years. When you transition from One Aeon to the next, it's cataclysmic. That transition is cataclysmic. And they knew it because it's cyclical.
- [19:44]
B
And what do you mean, what is cyclic?
- [19:46]
A
It means it happens like clockwork.
- [19:48]
B
Okay?
- [19:48]
A
I mean, that's what the zodiac is. It's a clock. So they're tracking the. I mean, if you knew that cataclysm was cyclic, you would be tracking when it's coming. Right? I mean, what else would be more important than that? That would be the most important thing to keep track of, is where are we on this cataclysmic time clock? Because these cataclysms are civilization ending events. And every primary ancient civilization on Earth has a record of cataclysm. They all, I call it the tombstone in the timeline of history. They all recognize, acknowledge and record this event that happened, this cataclysmic event that brought to ruin the old world, the antediluvian world, which they considered to be superior. The civilizations that existed in the antediluvian world, in the minds of the ancients, were superior to their own civilizations, including, this includes the ancient Egyptians. They believed that the civilization that existed in the world previous to the cataclysm, to the last cataclysm, was far superior to their own.
- [21:00]
B
Do you believe that?
- [21:01]
A
I do. This is a time that, you know, the ancient Egyptians refer to as Zep Tepi the first time. And it's known by the Greeks as the Golden Age. This is that period of time when the gods descended to the earth. They cohabitated with human beings, they copulated with human women, and they pro generated a race of hybrid giants, demigods. In the Earth. That general narrative is ubiquitous. It's universal on planet Earth. Every major primary ancient civilization has a myth, a legend that records that event. Now, the Egyptians, if you'll recall that in Plato's critias and dialogue and Timaeus dialogue, that he has Solon of Athens visiting the priests of CIS in Egypt. And this is where we get the Atlantean story from. This is where the narrative of Atlantis comes from. And the Egyptian priests are informing Solon that they tell him basically that the Greeks think that they have ancient knowledge, but their knowledge really isn't hoary with age, as they put it, that the Egyptians are tracking information going much deeper into the past. And they inform him that there was a cataclysm that brought ruin to the world. And that the Greeks knew about that cataclysm, but that there were other cataclysms previous to that cataclysm. So the Egyptians were tracking a cyclic cataclysmic event. And in fact, in Dendera, in the temple of Hathor, there used to be a. Now it's in a museum in France. There used to be a depiction, the earliest one we have, of the zodiac on the ceiling of the temple. And it's exactly the same signs of the zodiac that we have today. The ancient Egyptians were calculating cyclic cataclysm. And they knew that at the transition from one aeon to the next, that transition was cataclysmic. And we are transitioning from one aeon into another. We are in the Age of Pisces transitioning into Aquarius. This is the end of one aeon and the beginning of another.

B
I would do anything to protect my family. But there's always that one worry in the back of my head. If I have to use my firearm in self defense, who's got my back? The truth is, the justice system isn't always just. I've uncovered story after story of corruption good Americans who did the right thing, defended their families and yet still had their lives turned upside down. And that's why I joined uscca, the US Concealed Carry Association. They've helped thousands of responsible gun owners with legal preparedness, training and support before and after a self defense incident. If you've watched my channel long enough, you know I've always said preparedness is more than just training and gear. It's a mindset. And because crime is on the rise in America, which we can all see, you'll need more than just a gun to protect yourself. You'll need a plan. Go to uscca.comsrs right now to learn more. That's uscca.comsrs and see how a membership can give you and your family that peace of mind you've been looking for before, during and after a self defense situation.

A
And the ancients knew that when you're in this period of time, this cataclysmic transition, there's a sign that indicates that you're there. It's called the sign of the Suntellia. And a Suntellia is a thousand year period of transition between one aeon and the next. And when you're in this thousand year period, cataclysm could befall in this window of time. And there's something called the sign of the Suntellia. And the sign of the Suntellia is if you're in this window of time and you're living somewhere in the ancient near east and generally speaking in the Mediterranean area and on an equinox or a solstice, you will see the Milky Way, which the ancients considered to be the Milky Sea. Right. The cosmic sea will be encircling the Earth. So you look to the horizon, your 360 view, you'll see the Milky Way, the cosmic sea sitting on the horizon, encircling the Earth. That's called the sign of the Suntellia. And if that's happening in your time, then you know you are within that thousand year transitional period from one aeon to the next, during which time cataclysm is coming. And again, interesting. And again, the ancients knew that. So that, that was a long winded explanation of why. I believe that the ancients knew that cataclysm was coming and were preparing for it. So going back to the, to the underground dwellings, you know, what are we doing today?
- [27:29]
B
So was that this aeon or a previous one?
- [27:32]
A
Which one?
- [27:32]
B
The turkey?
- [27:33]
A
I don't know. I'm not, I'm not, I'm familiar with what you're referring to. I've seen documentaries, but I don't, I don't remember what the dating is on that. But I do know that today many of the billionaires and the elites on planet Earth are building underground bunkers.
- [27:53]
B
Yeah, yeah.
- [27:54]
A
Deep underground bunkers. Do they, do they know something's coming? Are they preparing for something that's some sort of impending cataclysm? I got a gut feeling they are. I mean we are transitioning from. Now, how do you think Aquarius? I think that while this knowledge has been preserved and it's been preserved primarily in the mystery schools.
- [28:20]
B
The mystery schools, right.
- [28:21]
A
Which is basically the occult. It's been passed on through the mystery schools and they have kept this knowledge. But that's. See the ancients understood, that's why they're obsessed with the stars by the way. It wasn't just because, you know, obviously you need to know what the seasons are if you're going to know when to sow and when to harvest and make the Necessary preparations for the changing of the seasons and so forth. That's very important to ancient people. So that's one of the reasons why they were so obsessed with the stars, because they're tracking all of that. But the deeper level is because they understood that the zodiac was a timepiece and that it was calculating cyclic cataclysm. And this, by the way, a lot of this information comes from one of the most consequential books I've ever read. No, the most consequential book I've ever read in my life. It's called the Secret Chronicles of Mars by the late David Flynn.
- [29:22]
B
Mars. There's a topic.
- [29:24]
A
There's a topic.
- [29:25]
B
Yeah, there's a topic. What do you. I mean, I don't know what to make of that.
- [29:29]
A
I don't think that our desire.
- [29:31]
B
You saw the pyramid thing.
- [29:32]
A
Yes.
- [29:32]
B
Is that real?
- [29:33]
A
So I believe. You can't even tell what the hell is going on. I believe that the, that the, you know, the famous face on Mars, that was a big deal back in the, what was it, the late 90s, early 2000s. That area on Mars is called Cydonia. And I do believe that what we see in some of those photographs is the remains of an ancient civilization that inhabited Mars. And I absolutely believe that. Let's say there are factions on Earth, there are individuals who know that to be a fact. And I don't think that our drive, which is being manifest primarily through Elon Musk, to go to Mars, to put a man on Mars is coincidental. I think we're going to go to Mars and we're going to make a discovery of magnitudinous import on Mars, specifically in the Cydonia region, namely that there was an ancient advanced civilization inhabiting Mars.
- [30:43]
B
Do you think there was a civilization on Earth when there was a civilization in Mars?
- [30:47]
A
That's a good question. I do. I do. You do? Yes, I do.
- [30:52]
B
Do you think we were communicating?
- [30:54]
A
I'm not sure human beings were around at that time. You know, from a biblical perspective, I would categorize that as a pre Adamic. I would put that in a pre Adamic context, and I would say that there was an angelic civilization inhabiting Mars and the Earth and perhaps the other planets in our solar system. But that would be in a pre Adamic context, before the creation of Adam, and that something cataclysmic happened that absolutely annihilated those civilizations. That angelic civilization, let's call it. And I think that the event that led to the destruction of the civilization on Mars was the implosion of a planet that was once in our solar system and now is the residue, the debris field.
- [31:48]
B
Why do you think there's an explosion from another planet?
- [31:50]
A
Well, there's a debris field between Mars and Jupiter. And that debris field, to me, I've done a lot of research into this. I think that debris, there's a ring of debris. I think that that is the residue of a planet. And I think that, you know, you can. And I do this in my book Birthright, you can trace, in the biblical narrative, in the oracles of the Old Testament, you can trace this narrative in which I believe there's references to this planet that was destroyed, and it was destroyed in a great conflict that unfolded in the solar system previous to the creation of mankind. And I believe that the planet, and I know if there's Christians listening to this podcast are going to be thinking, what in the world is he talking about? But there's a reference. There are references to Rahab. Rahab, Rahab. And I think that this is a planet that was, that was crushed like a vessel of clay, broken like a vessel of clay. That God crushed Rahab and he smote the dragon. And there's these very interesting veiled references in the Old Testament, quite a few of them that again, I believe are intimations of this cosmic conflict that erupted in the cosmos in a pre Adamic context previous to the creation of mankind on planet Earth.
- [33:20]
B
So if you think that the. Basically you think the Earth is a big cycle, so we go through these events, a civilization's wiped out, and then we start all over.
- [33:32]
A
We start all over like children. As the priest of Sais told Solon of Athens, we have to begin again as children. And, and I, and by the way.
- [33:42]
B
And some of this stuff that we're. We're finding here on Earth is remnants.
- [33:46]
A
Of potentially previously potentially. So I think, and to, to, to sum this up, I think that the, that this planet Rahab, again, that once existed between Mars and Jupiter, imploded or exploded. And the argument, the scientific argument against this is that there's not enough residue there. There's not enough debris to account for a planet. But there's been some papers published recently. Could be a moon. Well, there's. Okay, that's possible. There's been some papers published recently that make the argument, and I can't reference those papers exactly right now. I don't recall the titles of them that do make the argument that there is enough debris there because a lot of it would have been instantly vaporized most of the mass, according to this paper I read most of the mass of a planet. If a planet explodes, that's, that's an, that's an, an unimaginable force. That's an unimaginable explosion. The, the explosion of a planet. The, the heat that would be generated. The, the energy would vaporize most of the matter. And then it could throw off far into outer space, you know, huge chunks that go way out there. Maybe some of those got caught in the orb sun and are slingshotting around the sun. And maybe when they, and this is just a hypothesis, and maybe when these fragments of this planet come back into our solar system in the neighborhood of the planets in our solar system, it wreaks havoc on Earth. And if, let's say there's a chunk of this planet Rahab that's basically like a gigantic asteroid now, and, and it's slingshotting around The sun every 6,480 years. Right. Maybe this is what's being tracked by the zodiac. And maybe it has a debris field behind it. Right. Like asteroids have big debris fields behind them. And the Earth potentially passes through that debris field. We, we intersect with this body moving through our solar system. We pass through the debris field and we get bombarded with the debris which, you know, the younger, driest impact, for example, could be, could have resulted from this. That's just a hypothesis. I'm just throwing it out there.
- [36:01]
B
You, you had mentioned earlier, you think, you know, all these billionaires are building these underground bunkers and they have this access. I know, it's a fact.
- [36:10]
A
Yep.
- [36:11]
B
But, but the, but that they have access to all this ancient knowledge through the. Through what? The occult, through mystery schools. I mean, so, I mean, at what point do you just get introduced like, oh, hey, you made it, here's the.
- [36:27]
A
You mean into the mystery schools?
- [36:30]
B
You might want to build a bunker.
- [36:31]
A
That's a good question. That's a very good question.
- [36:34]
B
Have you thought about that?
- [36:35]
A
Yeah, I don't know the answer, but.
- [36:37]
B
What is the occult? I'm new to all of this.
- [36:40]
A
Okay, so. Well, the occult is a very general term. You know, the occult can encompass your everyday Satanist.
- [36:48]
B
That's kind of what I thought it was.
- [36:49]
A
Yeah. The occult is a very broad term. The mystery schools are a little more specific. The mystery schools go back to the ancient times. And the function of the mystery school fundamentally is to preserve the knowledge of the antediluvian world, and more specifically, to preserve the knowledge that was transmitted to mankind by the gods who descended in the Golden Age, that is the purpose of the mystery schools. And there's various mystery schools around the world. But what are they? Well, you know, you had the Elysian Mysteries that were the ancient Greek mysteries. You had the Egyptian Mysteries. You have the modern adaptations. Like you had the Knights Templar, who were to some extent a mystery school. But then you had the Masons, the Freemasonry.
- [37:39]
B
Didn't the Templar turn into the Masons?
- [37:42]
A
The Masons preserve some of the traditions of the ancient. Of the Templar Order. Yes, there's modifications, but fundamentally there's the. Let's say the pillars of Masonry do come from, to some extent, from the Knights Templar. And so you have different variations of mystery schools. This is the Illuminati, right? That would be one faction of the Mystery schools, or maybe a term that encompasses them all. And again, the primary purpose of the mystery schools is to preserve the knowledge that was transmitted by the gods to mankind in the antediluvian world before the cataclysm, the knowledge that was transmitted to mankind during the Golden Age, during Zep Tepi, the first time. And that is functional knowledge, by the way. It's not just, you know, it's not just sort of arcane, mysterious knowledge that pertains to, you know, just bizarre stuff. No, we're talking about functional knowledge, information that is very important, that is transmitted through myths also. Myths transmit knowledge. The wise concocted those myths. The ancient sages are. They devised the myths, and we're talking about the famous myths from the ancients among the Greeks and the ancient Egyptians and the ancient Mesopotamians, what we today look at as bedtime stories, what we today view as folklore. And of course, historians and archaeologists and anthropologists don't really give much weight to these myths. Oh, that's just Greek mythology. But the myths were designed, intentionally designed to transmit information, to preserve information and transmit it through time. And it's done primarily through symbolism because languages change, right? Languages change, but the meaning of the symbols always remains the same.
- [39:48]
B
So how do you think these guys get into. How do they get the knowledge? Have you thought about that?
- [39:52]
A
You mean the modern. The people who are in the.
- [39:54]
B
Yeah, yeah, the bunker builders.
- [39:56]
A
So it's.
- [39:56]
B
Again, they could just be worried about nuclear war.
- [39:58]
A
There's a couple of things that. That's true. Yes, absolutely. That's certainly in play. But there's a couple of ways. I mean, one, if you're a member of the mystery schools, and I'm not saying your neighborhood Freemason, you know, just your average Joe who happens to be a member of a lodge. No, you gotta be way high up into these organizations before they start to transmit this information to you. Because at the lower levels of Masonry, they're not told. This comes from, by the way, Manly P. Hall, who is one of the greatest Masonic philosophers, probably the greatest Masonic philosopher. He said that the lower levels of the Masonic order, that they. They give them a different meaning to the symbols and they don't tell them the true meaning behind the rituals and the symbols. And you don't get the true meaning until you get to the higher levels. And I think that's probably true across the board in the mystery schools, but. So you can learn this in the mystery schools or. I think at this point, probably we've. Let's just assume for a moment, and I don't know if it's true. It's just a hypothesis. Let's assume that there is a body out there in the solar system that's coming back in, that's on this path around the sun that gets slingshotted back out into outer space, comes back around every 6,480 years. Maybe we've detected it. Maybe NASA's detected it. Maybe some of our military satellites up there have detected this body that's coming into our solar system. And that, I think, would prompt, you know, the building of underground bunkers. You know, we have deep underground military bases. I'm sure you're aware of that all over the world, but especially in. Under the continental United States. We're talking a mile to two miles below the surface of the Earth.
- [41:46]
B
And it was a mile to two.
- [41:48]
A
Miles below the surface of the Earth. Yes.
- [41:50]
B
I just watched this documentary last night about how Russia dug a. Basically a hole. They got, I think, seven, 1.1 miles deep.
- [41:59]
A
Yeah.
- [42:00]
B
And then they couldn't go anymore. Nobody else has done it. They said that the. The Earth, every. I can't remember if it was every mile or every kilometer, the earth, it gets 60 degrees hotter.
- [42:12]
A
Yeah.
- [42:15]
B
Probably it'll be like 120 degrees.
- [42:19]
A
Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what happened and then the audience can draw their own conclusions. But During World War II, do you remember what one of the primary problems for Hitler was? One of the major reasons why the Nazis lost that war was because we were bombing the bejesus out of them.
- [42:38]
B
Yeah.
- [42:39]
A
The bombing of Dresden. We weren't just bombing military and industrial targets. We bombed cities. We firebombed cities. And the purpose behind this campaign, this bombing campaign, was to decimate Hitler's industrial base, for one thing. So that he couldn't build weapons fast enough. And so we were hitting the airfields, we were hitting the industrial plants. And a lot of these industrial plants were located in the cities. So Hitler decided, and he did it too late. He decided that he was going to move his manufacturing to subterranean facilities. I mean, this is logical right now. That's an enormous undertaking to do that. You can't just move manufacturing underground on a whim. That's an enormous project. But he began to do it. And there was an organization called the Thoth organization that was in charge of building these underground facilities. By the end of World War II, there were underground facilities. Now they weren't a mile under the ground, but they were pretty deep, were they? And they were using, in some instances, slave labor to do it. And had Hitler done this earlier, we would have been in trouble because we would not have been able to disrupt the production of the armaments. And after the war, of course, there was the operation Paperclip in which we brought over strategic Nazi scientists from different fields, from different scientific domains. We brought them over to the United States, including guys like Wernher von Braun, who became instrumental in our rocket program over here. He was working on the Vril rockets over for the Nazis. And we brought over various scientists and various military personnel who we thought could be useful for our endeavors here, our scientific endeavors in the United States. And among these scientists were members of the TOT organization. And we realized the utility of building underground facilities because we just bombed the hell out of the Germans. And we realized that warfare in the future is going to be aerial primarily. So we brought the members of the TOT organization over here and we began to build deep underground military bases. But I believe, based on documentation, that we developed a particular kind of mining apparatus that was a nuclear. It was nuclear powered mining machine that could bore out and liquefy rock as it moved through the rock. So it bores the rock out and it liquefies it. It creates like this vitrified tunnel, these vitrified chambers. And so we invented a technology that allowed us to go very deep and to build much faster than the Germans were able to do. And back in the 70s, the Rand Corporation published a paper describing what is called a magneto Leviton train. Which.
- [45:58]
B
Magneto Leviton train?
- [45:59]
A
Maglev train, A magneto Leviton train that could be installed either on the surface or underground. And that would operate in a vacuum tube. And it didn't run on a rail, rather it was a, you know, it was using the electromagnetic force and it was basically floating it was a monorail and it was, it was floating, I think, like, you know, like three quarters of an inch off of the rail because it's. Because of the magnetic influence. And they, in the paper, they described how they could build this train. And if they put it in a vacuum, there's no resistance, there's no friction. They said that they could go coast to coast. I think it was half an hour or 40 minutes coast to coast from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles in like a half an hour with this, with this Magneto Leviton train. Well, I'm very persuaded that we did build that train system, but we built it underground and in secret and that. And in fact, I've talked to individuals in, let's say, highly placed individuals in the military who've confirmed that such a thing exists. And there is an underground railway and it is this Magneto Leviton system and it connects the underground basis.
- [47:25]
B
I got a question. You know, why would you have a podcast? You're out there, you've got a great social media presence, you're here. Why would top military advisors or anybody leak that information to you?
- [47:43]
A
Well, I mean, I don't think that. I think that it's common knowledge among people in the intelligence community and certain individuals working in different levels of the government. I don't think that it's that big of a secret that we have a trained system like that. It would make sense for continuity of government, right. If we are preparing for a nuclear strike, that we would build underground bases and connect them with some kind of a rail system. So that part isn't, I don't think that classified. I think what goes on in the underground bases is. What's. That's the classified stuff. I think that's where some of these unacknowledged special access programs are being developed in the deep underground military bases. But I interface with individuals all the time. I've interfaced with congressmen, people in the intelligence community, people in the military who. And of course, it's all anecdotal. I've never seen the train system. I've never been in an underground base. But I've read the papers on the, the nuclear boring machine. I've read the papers on the Tote organization. I've read the papers from the RAND Corporation on the, on the Magneto Leviton train. And by the way, in that paper in the 1970s. They say in the paper that they now have the technology to build it. They had the technology in the 70s to build that train. So I think they did build it. They just didn't build it for the public. They took the technology underground. And now the Japanese and the Chinese are developing these kind of railways using the same kind of technology. Of course, they're not running in, as far as I know, they're not running in a vacuum tube, but they're using the same kind of technology and bullet trains and different kinds of rail systems that are being developed. So it's kind of common knowledge at this point. The secret would be how many of these deep underground military bases exist, where are they located and what's happening inside of them. But I'm absolutely persuaded that they do in fact exist.
- [49:37]
B
Interesting, interesting. We just. I can't even remember what we were talking about right before the interview started. We were talking about all the disclosure stuff. And you were having a meeting with the gentleman in Missouri, the congressman, Sorry, his name escapes me. Congressman Eric Burleson and I had mentioned. You should chat with Tim Burett.
- [49:56]
A
Yeah, I did briefly in, in the Capitol building.
- [50:00]
B
Yeah, he's really into stuff.
- [50:02]
A
Great guys, by the way. Congressman Eric Burleson, Congressman Tim Burchett, Anna Paulina Luna. These are phenomenal congressmen and women and they are at the heart of the battle for disclosure in Washington dc.
- [50:15]
B
Nothing's coming out. Nothing's coming out.
- [50:18]
A
Well, it's kind of, it is kind of. They're frustrated.
- [50:20]
B
We got guys coming up there saying they found non human biologics. I don't even know what the hell that means.
- [50:27]
A
But we've had two hearings in Congress. The first hearing of course, featured primarily the testimony of David Grush, who was in the intelligence community. And of course Grush, in an official capacity investigating the topic of uap. He came up against a, a program that he was not allowed to be read into. And this program is what's called today the Legacy program. It's the program of the recovery and reverse engineering of non human craft, crashed UFOs basically, and the non human, quote unquote biologicals associated with them. That was a term that, that Grusch used during his testimony during the hearing. So we've had two hearings. The second hearing featured primarily the testimony of Lou Elizondo, and Elizondo and Grush are basically telling the same story. We have had this legacy program in place for decades. We've been recovering a crashed non human, let's call them non human advanced aerospace vehicles. We've been recovering this and the biological creatures dead or alive associated with them. And this, I mean, this is an earth shattering revelation for a lot of people. It's very difficult for a lot of people to assimilate that information into their brains because I mean, it's the biggest story in the history of mankind. Right.
- [52:04]
B
What do you think of all this?
- [52:05]
A
Absolutely true.
- [52:06]
B
You think it's all true?
- [52:07]
A
100%. Because I'm somewhat of a ufologist, so I've studied ufology and there's a lot of anecdotal data that has been accrued over the decades by competent ufologists that if you were to take the time to familiarize yourself with, I think you would, that everyone would draw the conclusion that, yeah, this is likely happening based on the data that again, that's been accrued over decades of good UFO research. Yes, anecdotal. But at some point a tsunami of anecdotal evidence becomes hardcore evidence, in my opinion. And then you have Grusch coming out, you have Elizondo coming out, and they are basically affirming what ufologists have known for decades.
- [52:58]
B
So you don't think this could be worldly tech?
- [53:04]
A
We do have, I mean we've had some success in reverse engineering some of this technology. I do believe that we've had limited success. So do we have hybridized craft of our own that incorporate both non conventional, exotic and conventional components? I think the answer is yes, I think we do. Now what, what does, how, how advanced are we at this point with that technology? I don't know, but I'm, I'm, I am very persuaded that we have it. So some of what people see that we, that they, they, they see these craft, these advanced aerospace vehicles and they think that's a ufo, when in reality, I think much of it is us at this point. Not all of it, but much of it. I would concur much of it is us at this point. But I believe that the technology originates with the exotic technology, with the non human intelligence.
- [54:02]
B
A lot of people think that they come from under the earth, like there's some type of alien race beneath the surface of the Earth. What do you make of that?
- [54:13]
A
Yeah, that's part of the crypto terrestrial hypothesis, which posits that there are these, there are non human entities, intelligent non human entities who are surreptitiously inhabiting planet Earth with us, that these contemporaneously with us. In other words, some people, and this is just a hypothesis, but some people talk about maybe there was some kind of an extraterrestrial species that landed here a long time ago and they've taken up residence inside of the Earth and they have bases now in the Earth and that a lot of the UFOs are actually now basically terrestrial based at this point. There are other hypotheses that describe a lost civilization, an antediluvian civilization, survivors of the cataclysm that we were talking about previously that went underground, and they've developed their civilization underground, and they've been living contemporaneously with us here on planet Earth in a crypto terrestrial manner. And I don't know what to make of that. I don't know. I think it is possible, but certainly a lot of the UFOs are coming out of the oceans and they appear to be coming out of underground bases and definitely out of the oceans. A lot of the sightings, especially the ones that have been acknowledged by the government, have to do with large bodies of water. You know, The Navy encounters UFOs all the time, and a lot of the times they're either coming out of or going into the water. They call these the transmedium vehicles because they can move through the atmosphere with the same ease as through the water. In fact, in a lot of cases, there's no splash. How do you have a craft coming out of the ocean or going into the ocean at high rates of speed without generating an enormous splash? That's why they refer to these as trans medium vehicles. They seem to be able to move through any environment in the same way. And that's probably because of the technology. Maybe they're in their own gravitational field. They're generating like a gravitational bubble. So they're really moving space time around the craft rather than moving the craft through space time. That's one.
- [56:43]
B
What do you think? Are they coming from space and under? I mean, I don't know. I don't know, man. I think I've interviewed a lot of people about this stuff. I've come to the conclusion, I think it's all spiritual.
- [56:58]
A
I'm entirely persuaded that there is an extraterrestrial component to this, and I'll tell you why. You're probably familiar with the testimony of Bob Lazar.
- [57:12]
B
Yeah.
- [57:14]
A
Bob Lazar worked, allegedly worked at the Nevada facility, the S4 facility by groom Lake, and was involved in the reverse engineering program. He worked on a particular saucer that he denominates, the sports model, because it was sleek and it was functional. And his job in the program specifically was to work on the reactor. And according to Lazar, the reactor was an antimatter reactor. And in order to function, it required a piece of exotic matter that was machined into a triangle. And that exotic matter is Called, well, was called by Lazar, element 115. And Lazar talked about this back in the early 90s and element 115, I mean, nobody knew what the heck he was talking about. But today we actually have identified. It's called moscavium. And we can synthesize it. The Russians have been able to synthesize it, but we don't have a stable isotope. We could only. The only isotopes that we know of on Earth are not stable. But this craft, according to Lazar, the reactor of this saucer that he was working on, it used a stable form of element 115. And this exotic matter was essential to the operation of the craft, to the reactor. And again, it was a matter antimatter reaction. Of course, one of the largest explosions that we know of is the annihilation of matter and antimatter. Matter and antimatter annihilate each other. We know antimatter is real. We can actually. What is antimatter anti. I'm not a physicist, but antimatter is like the opposite of matter and matter. And it's not nothing. It's not nothing. I'm not qualified to answer the question what is antimatter? I know it exists and I know that we can create antimatter at cern. We have created antimatter at cern, but you know, it only exists for fractions of a second. And by the way, you know, anti matter, that collision between matter and antimatter, that annihilation, that, that could be turned into a weapon. You can weaponize that if you can stabilize it and that you can, you can build antimatter bombs. Well, you know, I mentioned that cern, the largest man made machine on planet Earth, is a large hadron collider in Geneva in CERN, and the Chinese are building one 10 times the size of that.
- [59:55]
B
No, I didn't know that.
- [59:57]
A
At least they were, they definitely were. I would assume that the project is still underway. And again, the CERN is the largest man made machine on Earth. Chinese are building one 10 times larger. The objective of CERN ostensibly is they want to find out what happened at the Big Bang. Right. I went to CERN and talked to the physicists there, the particle physicist, and they genuinely, they want to know what happened at the Big Bang. They want to know how the universe came to be and all of that. The idea is to look back in time and. But I don't think that's why the Chinese are building a part of. Probably not an atom smasher. That's 10 times the size of CERN. I think what they're after is antimatter weapons, an antimatter bomb. I mean, you have. Antimatter bombs are many times more powerful, powerful than a thermal nuclear bomb warhead. And they don't have that. The problem with nuclear weapons is the fallout. You radiate everything, right? So if you bomb. If you drop a bomb on a city, nuclear bomb, well, you have rendered that city, that area, unusable. You've radiated it. The soil is going to be ruined. Look at Fukushima, right? You turn it into Fukushima. So if you're like the. The Chinese and you're interested in occupying, let's say, the breadbasket of America because you need more food, you don't want to nuke it because you destroy the soil, you radiate it and you render it useless. But an antimatter bomb, that's another situation. You could create an explosion that is bigger, more powerful, more intense than a nuclear explosion. Explosion without that, without the radiation, without nuking that area. So you could bomb it and then make use of it afterwards. So that's a little rabbit trail there. But I think that's why the Chinese are interested in building a collider, precisely because of the matter antimatter annihilation. It is exceedingly powerful. So going back to the reactor, this, of course, comes from the testimony of Bob Lazar that there's a matter antimatter reaction happening inside of the reactor, and it's generating an enormous amount of energy, the kind of energy that's required to generate and to control gravity waves. And that's how Lazar says that those craft work. They produce gravity waves. And that's all featured in the testimony of Bob Lazar. He wrote a really good book called Dreamland where he describes all of this. I personally believe that Bob Lazar is telling the truth. I am persuaded that his testimony is true. And I know there's a lot of controversy out there about that. But his, by the way, Lazar's testimony synchronizes with Grusch's testimony and with Lua Luzando's testimony. It perfectly synchronizes the craft that Lazar worked on. The sports model. The interior of the craft was designed for diminutive people, in other words, for little guys who, according to Lazar, the people who worked at the S4 facility referred to as the kids. We're talking about gray aliens. And I have people who come to me who are. They're whistleblowers, but they're not whistleblowing in an official capacity yet. And some of these guys have been on crash retrieval sites and they've been involved in various aspects of crash retrievals, the protocols. And they've seen the bodies and the bodies are little gray guys. So, yes, I'm absolutely persuaded that we are looking at a nuts and bolts physical phenomenon, craft that actually crashes and corporeal biological beings who die. Again, this is the testimony of David Grush. This is the testimony of Louis Lazando and others. And there are more, by the way, there are more witnesses coming forward. There's going to be another hearing and we're going to hear more. I mean, we're going to see more witnesses. And you know, Tim Burchett, Congressman Burchett, tried to push through legislation, whistleblower protection legislation. I don't know if you knew that. I think it was last year. Because what they really need to do is to protect whistleblowers who are coming from the Legacy Program. Because we have guys like Grusch and Elizondo who have come up against the program, who are not read into the program but have knowledge of it. But what we don't have yet or are whistleblowers who had hands on the craft. You know, we have Lazar, but Lazar hasn't been a part of these hearings. But we need, at this point, we need whistleblowers who are coming from within the Legacy Program.
- [65:16]
B
Why do you think Lazar has never come forward?
- [65:20]
A
I don't think he wants to be bothered with it at this point in his life. He wasn't taken. He's endured a lot of ridicule over the years. It's only recently that people are taking his story seriously. It's not enhanced his life at all. In fact, the opposite. And this comes from him. I mean, he said this openly in various interviews and he says it in his book. In his book Dreamland. It's not done anything positive for his life. It's only been negative for him. And it's been really just a gigantic headache. His entire life he's endured endless ridicule. A lot of people just do not believe him. And so he's moved on in life. He probably at this point doesn't want to be the UFO guy. He's a legitimate scientist and his passion is physics and science and that's what he's doing today. He has his own laboratory and I just don't think he wants to be bothered with it. He's not an individual who's looking for fame. He's not interested in profiting from any of this. And he's never changed his story. He's never changed his story. And the ufologist George Knapp has done a lot of great work, I think, affirming the testimony of Bob Lazar and Knapp's, you know, an old school investigator. And I've got a lot of respect for George Knapping and I really do believe that Lazar's testimony has been, at this point, confirmed. We haven't even talked about face.
- [67:00]
B
I know, I know. We're fascinating. Let's take a quick break. When we get back, we'll talk about the face peelers, which is what I really want to talk to you about. But there's just so many rabbit holes to go down.
- [67:09]
A
Yeah. And it's a great segue into the face peelers.
- [67:12]
B
You see it, you seem to be knowledgeable on all of them. So thank you. But let's take a break. Summer's here, and if you're anything like me, you didn't spend the winter just sitting around. You stayed sharp and kept moving. And now it's time your gear caught up. And that's why I want to introduce you to Roka. I've been looking for eyewear that can handle any situation with performance and style. And let me tell you, these aren't your average shades. I've tested them in the real world, from shooting to fishing to off roading, and they hold up. They're lightweight, don't slide around on my face, and can take a hit without falling apart.

- [70:52]
A
Okay, so back in 2023, in the summer of 2023, in July, there was a series of videos that went viral on social media. And these videos were captured in the Peruvian Amazon, in the region of Altonanai. And they featured a chaotic scene at nighttime in which the villagers were running around screaming, pursuing something and discharging their firearms into the jungle. And subsequent interviews with members of the community revealed that they had been assailed by these very strange people, beings who were dressed in body armor, one of them said, reminiscent of the Green Goblin from the Spider man movie, and that these assailants could fly, that they could hover a meter off the ground, and that they were impervious to gunfire and that they were making incursions into the village. And the villagers were completely freaked out about it. A couple of other videos surfaced, and these videos were surfacing at the end of July, beginning of August, a couple of other videos surfaced from the Peruvian Amazon featuring similar phenomena. And one surfaced from the city of Nauta. And as I said, they went viral all over social media. The villagers subsequent to publishing the video. They were pleading with the Peruvian navy to come protect them. Pleading. They took some pictures where they're holding up signs. And by the way, I should say that this one of these villages, it's called San Antonio de Pintuyacu, and it's located. It's very remote. It's located in the Peruvian Amazon, northwest of the city of Iquitos. And they published some pictures where they're holding signs, the villagers begging the navy to come protect them because they were under assault by some phenomenon. And the story kind of changed at some point to people were taking it very seriously. And then there was this explanation that was offered and the story sort of went away. And the explanation that was offered was the explanation that emerged was that the villagers were being assaulted by river miners equipped with state of the art jet packs, and that the river miners were attempting to drive the inhabitants of San Antonio de Pinto Yacu off of their land so that they could mine the river. I learned that this narrative was concocted by two police officers who visited the village from the city of Iquitos. So I'm watching this unfold and I'm very interested because I lived in the Peruvian Amazon. In fact, I lived not far from this region in Alto Nanai. And I'm very familiar with the culture. I speak Spanish, and I speak that particular dialect of Spanish which is called charapa. And charapa is just the jungle dialect in Peru. And so I'm very intrigued watching all of this unfolding. And when the jetpack miner narrative came out, I wasn't buying it. That was ridiculous. I knew that was ridiculous because I've met river miners and they don't have. They're not equipped with state of the art jetty base.
- [74:38]
B
What would they even be mining anyways?
- [74:39]
A
So the river miners, what they do is they're very rudimentary operations. They have these rafts, these riverboats that are all rusted out, and they're not like floating around on yachts. And what they do is very destructive to the environment. They dump mercury into the water, which of course kills everything, poisons the water. It's a real problem.
- [75:02]
B
They do that.
- [75:03]
A
They dump mercury in the water and then they dredge. Is it called dredging? They dredge the bottom of the river and then they sift. They sift the residue through whatever and to try and separate out the gold. So that's how those river miners operate. They're not sophisticated, they're not rich, and they are very seedy individuals, usually, because what they're doing is illegal. You're not allowed to mine rivers like that anywhere, especially in the Amazon. But they do it anyway because there's gold to be gathered in those rivers. And so again, the explanation is that these river miners, these Peruvian river miners, somehow have attained these, have come into possession of this advanced jetpack technology and body armor, and we're terrorizing the villagers to try and expel them from their land. That's ridiculous.
- [76:14]
B
There's no way. I mean, there's gold mines all over the world. There's no way that the most sophisticated technological gold miners are sifting gold out.
- [76:26]
A
Of a river bottom well and flying around with jet packs.
- [76:31]
B
That's what I'm getting at.
- [76:33]
A
It's absurd. It's absurd. And I knew it was absurd, but the media ran with it. Media organizations all over the world, in Peru, in the United States, they ran with it. You know, and like, I remember watching a news presentation on News Nation. And because they were covering the story, it was a big story. What's happening in the Peruvian Amazon? These people are freaking out. They're saying that aliens are attacking them.
- [76:57]
B
This is in 2022.
- [76:58]
A
This is 2023. That July of 2023, the villagers, the villagers are saying we're being assaulted by aliens. And they were saying they were using the term pelacara, which is face peeler. They're being attacked by pelacaras. Some of them said that the pelacadas are attacking us. Others said these are not humans, these are extraterrestrials. And so the media was very focused on this for a while. And then as soon as the jetpack miner story came out, case closed, mystery solved, right? Oh, it's just those pesky river miners with their jet packs. I could not believe that the media in the United States bought that narrative, especially an organization like NewsNation. I can, I couldn't believe it was so, on its face, absurd. Okay. And, and, and I'm so. I'm sitting back watching all of this unfold and I'm getting, and I'm getting inundated with emails and text messages asking me, please go down there and investigate this. And I'm sort of sitting back waiting for somebody to go out there and go investigate what the heck is happening. And nobody was going. And I didn't have my, my passport was. I was, I was renewing my passport at the time. And so my passport, I was waiting for my new one to come in. And I'm just sitting back thinking I'm going to have to go. I mean, I didn't even really want to. I'm just thinking, I'm going to have to go. I'm going to have to go do this. And I seemed uniquely equipped to do it because I lived out there. I speak the language, and I'm very well adapted to the culture.
- [78:31]
B
How big is this village? How many people?
- [78:34]
A
San Antonio de Pinto Yacu has a population of approximately 200 inhabitants. So it's actually a larger village. And in fact, it's an important village. The provincial government installed a communication outpost there. So they have Internet in this village, and this is a very old community in the sense that this is one of the earliest tribes. This tribe goes back hundreds of years. They are the Ikitu people, and they're a very unique tribe. And their village is sort of the last outpost of civilization before a vast swath of Amazon jungle. Between the village, between the village and Ecuador, there's just untracked Amazon rainforest, uninhabitable wilderness, basically. So it's remote, but they do have Internet. I mean, they have. And that's very unique. Most of these remote villages don't have Internet. Don't have Internet. And these guys, you know, they have such a good Internet uplink that, or they have such a good connection to the Internet out there that they sit there in the evenings and watch movies on their phones. And this is how they were able to upload the videos they filmed a particular individual named Christian. This young man who contacted me named Christian, he's the one who took the footage, and then he uploaded it from the village, precisely because they have this communications outpost. So I decided that I had to go down there and conduct an investigation because nobody was going. When finally I got my new passport back, I decided to mount an expedition. And I tagged a friend of mine named Doug Thornton, who was an infantry marine. And Doug and I embarked on this journey to the Peruvian Amazon. I made contact with the village. I talked to Christian, who again, was the guy that the young. The young man who filmed the incident. And I recorded a message on WhatsApp explaining my intentions, my desire to come and investigate the situation, which was played during a communal meeting in the village, to the elders of the village. And so the chief of the village in Peru, it's called the Apu, the Apu of the village. And the elders listened to my message, and then they sent me a formal invitation to come to their village, that they would receive me in a formal manner and that I could conduct my investigation. So I got permission from the village.
- [81:42]
B
Was this still going on?
- [81:44]
A
It was Going on into August. By the time that I got my passport back and organized my expedition, it's October, so it's kind of. It's after the fact. The phenomenon died down in the month of August. So, like mid August, it had subsided, but it was still very fresh in their minds. In fact, the villagers were living on edge. The men of the village, I learned through Christian, the men of the village were every night conducting a patrol. They were patrolling the perimeter of the village. And they were, you know, so they would be out there with their flashlights and their shotguns. And I was told that they were getting very little sleep. They were not going out to their chakras, their farms out in the jungle to harvest products. They were not going very far down the river to fish. The whole village had ptsd. They were running low on supplies. They needed certain medical supplies. So I decided that in addition to doing the investigation of the phenomenon, that we would also supply the village with some of the supplies that they needed, with some of the food and medical supplies that they needed. And, in fact, a mutual contact, mutual friend of ours, Pastor Darren Tyler from Conduit Church, he agreed to help me fund. He helped me fund the trip, the expedition to supply the village, and my friend Jamie Brandenburg and some of the guys from Conduit Church helped fund that expedition. So I had the funding. I had permission from the village. I chartered a riverboat in Iquitos called La Esperanza, and I hired two active duty navy commandos, Peruvian jungle navy commandos to go with me. Because I had no idea what I was getting into, no idea what this phenomenon was. I suspected maybe it was the cartel or something like that. I didn't know what I was walking into. So we went very low profile. We filmed it. I published it on my YouTube channel. But we just brought in GoPros. We wanted to stay very low profile. And so in October, we went up the river. It took two days to get there on the riverboat. We went up the river Nanai and then the river Pintuyaku and eventually arrived to the village. And when we got there, and by the way, the APU met us in Iquitos and went up the river with us. So the APU and some other individuals from the village escorted us to the village on the boat. When we arrived to the village, all of the men came down to the bank of the river, and they all had their shotguns in their hands, and they were receiving us in a very cordial way. They were happy to see us. But I was told the APU had told me that they had their firearms on them at all times. Since this had started to happen back in July, the men always kept their firearms on them. And that means shotguns. And these are very rudimentary firearms. I mean, these are really old, rusty shotguns. And so in addition to supplying them with food and medical supplies, we also wanted to give them some strategic technology for their patrols. So we procured, we got them really good radios, high powered flashlights, and commercial grade night vision goggles that have a recording capability so they could actually record the phenomenon with the night vision. And then we gave them some thermal binocular. And so we wanted to provision them to help so that they could defend themselves against whatever this phenomenon was, again, which we had no idea what it was. So all the men of the village are there on the bank of the river. They receive us very cordially. They usher me into what they call the tambo, which is this communications installation that the government built in their village. Just this big cement building. And we delivered the supplies and they actually, they did a traditional ikitu dance for us and they gave us masato to drink. And it was a whole spectacle. So they're very happy to have us there. We were the only ones who had come to investigate the phenomenon.
- [86:33]
B
No kidding.
- [86:34]
A
Nobody else had gone. Now two police officers, Peruvian police officers were dispatched from Iquitos, from the city of Iquitos to investigate a particular incident which was the attempted abduction of a 15 year old girl, which is part of this narrative. I failed to mention that when we were talking about the publication of those videos that went viral on social media. Part of those videos featured footage and testimony of the attempted abduction of a 15 year old girl. And I, I, I told you that they were claiming that they were saying that this was an attack by face peelers, pelacadas, and somebody had attempted, somebody had cut her neck under her jawline and she was found unconscious. And that was part of the story. And so because there was an attempted.
- [87:26]
B
Abduction, how did they fend off the adoption abduction?
- [87:31]
A
They, she screamed. And the villagers were already a state, in a state of high of vigilance. And when she screamed, they came running with their shotguns and they saw the assailants. And the assailants were dressed in black armored body suits, head to foot, they had helmets on, they had almond shaped tinted eye lenses that were described to me variously as green and yellow. And most remarkably, they were floating on circular platforms. Like the best way I can describe it is like, do you remember those circular sleds they look like garbage can lids.
- [88:21]
B
Snow sled?
- [88:22]
A
Yeah, like a circular snow sled.
- [88:24]
B
A saucer.
- [88:25]
A
A saucer, yeah, that's what these guys were flying around on, like, circular platforms. And this is what the villagers were encountering. But when I went into the village again, they received us in this very formal, cordial manner. And then we began the investigation in earnest. And we walked around the village accompanied by the APU and we interviewed dozens, dozens of villagers, men, women, children. And what we heard was extraordinary. And at first, when we began to hear these testimonies, we were nervous, because at first I was thinking, cartel. I was thinking, there's this. This could be Cartel. This could be a serious, well funded operation. Cartel operation. And that made us nervous. And in fact, I remember after doing. After conducting some of the initial interviews, we went back to the boat. We were staying on the riverboat. The riverboat was docked on the bank of the village, on the bank of the river, up against the village. And we went back to the riverboat after about two hours of interviewing people. And we had a meeting with the Navy commandos. By the way, these are. They're jungle commandos. They're trained in jungle survival and really great guys. And so we had a little security meeting, and we were talking about the possibility that this is cartel, and that if it's cartel, they probably are still in the area and they might be surveilling us. And what do we do? We need to make sure that we're prepared, especially at night. So that was our initial thought. Then I went back into the village and we continued to conduct the investigations. The APU took me to where the videos were captured, and they explained to me what happened. And I'm going to try and summarize, see what was happening. And remember, this was happening for a few weeks consecutively, not every single day, but within those few weeks, it was happening frequently. The phenomenon always happened at night. And the first thing that the villagers would see were saucers, little saucers flying around. And the saucers had a series of lights on them, and they had some kind of a floodlight attached to the front that could be turned on and off. So the first thing that they would begin to see are these saucers, these little saucers flying around above the village.
- [91:04]
B
How many?
- [91:06]
A
Two, usually two. The assailants came two by two, and then they would see the saucers go into the jungle and land. And shortly thereafter, two individuals would make an incursion into the village. And these individuals were wearing, as I said earlier, black armored body suits, head to foot again with helmets, almond shaped eye lenses. The assailants were described as being very tall, taller than me, I'm 6:1. And all of the villagers said they were taller than me. And I would say how tall? A foot taller, two feet taller, Usually around seven feet tall is what they would indicate. About a foot taller than me. They described them as being inhumanly agile. So some of the guys actually pursued. There was a group of villagers who pursued the assailants. And they told me these guys did not move like human beings, they were inhumanly agile. And they pursued one of these assailants through the jungle and he dove into the river, quickly swam across the river, hopped onto the bank and flew off into the sky.
- [92:25]
B
They without the saucer.
- [92:28]
A
I think the saucer was docked over there. And in fact, in that case, I can't recall if in that particular case, if he hopped on the saucer or if he just disappeared into the jungle. I'm pretty sure he hopped on the saucer because that's what would happen. They would pursue them and these guys would go back to where they landed, get back on their saucers and take off at a high rate of speed. The saucers were silent except for when they initially took off. There was sort of like a sound, like compressed air. That's what the villagers expressed to me, like a sound of compressed air being released. But for the most part they were silent. Whatever this body armor was that these assailants were wearing is bulletproof, at least against shotgun shells. I mean, these guys use birdshot in the jungle. But what they were doing, because they would shoot the assailants, some of them at point blank range, they would discharge their shotgun at point blank range at some of these assailants. And they told me they could hear the bbs dinking off the body armor. The assailants never spoke except for on one occasion, which talk about. And one guy told me he blasted a. He blasted one of these assailants with a shotgun. I think it was only about 15ft away, maybe even closer, maybe 10ft away, blasted him with a shotgun. He says that this particular individual was. Was dressed in silver body armor, unlike the rest. And he swears to me this one was silver. Everyone else said black. But for whatever reason, this one is dressed in silver body armor. He blasts him with the shotgun and the impact knocks the guy on his butt, the assailant. And then he just jumps up and jumps like flies, back up to a vertical position and floated away. Floated. And he's not on the saucer. So two Things became apparent. Number one, they're making incursions into the village, initially on their saucers. They're flying and they're surfing. The villagers said they would see them. They put the flashlight up on the saucer, and they would see these guys, like, surfing on these things. And then when they came into the village, they disembarked from the saucers. And then they came into the village, they were still able to float based on some kind of mechanism that was incorporated into their footwear, into their boots. And they told me that the boots had two discs on the bottom, like one on the heel, one near the toe. They had two discs, and that the discs would. They were, they admitted, some kind of a light, and this enabled the assailants to float. And when this guy shot this one that was dressed in the silver body armor, that's how he popped back up. He was floating. And this isn't just one or two testimonies. This is dozens and dozens of testimonies from different people in the village. They all say they all saw the same thing. All of them. Not every person in the village encountered the phenomenon, but the ones that did all described the same thing in the same detail. The assailants were described as being able to bound over the huts, bound over the houses, so they could jump over the houses. As I said, they were impervious to the shotguns. And what I was about to say about that was that the villagers, realizing that their bird shot wasn't having much of an effect, what they did was they showed me how they were doing this. They would open up the cartridge, empty out the BBs, and weld the BB, some of the BBs together to make. To make slugs, and then they would put them back in there, and they were firing, you know, these makeshift slugs to no effect. They also set up traps around the village to try and. To try and catch one of these assailants. And the traps consist of. They're the typical kind of traps that they use out there in the jungle. They're just a tube with a bullet inside, and there's, like, a hammer mechanism, and then there's a trip wire. And they usually use these to catch. To hunt small game. They put them in the game trails and they catch. This is a part of their. This is what hunters commonly do. But this time they retrofitted these traps to shoot these assailants. So they. They put these welded birdshot in the cartridge, and then they lifted the tube higher. And what they were trying to calculate was the knees. They wanted to shoot the assailants at the knees. So usually they're about a foot off the ground. They lifted them two or three feet off the ground, and they set up nine of them around the village. And at night, they would hear the traps going off, they'd hear the shotgun blasts, and then when they would run out there to see what happened, obviously they're expecting to see one of these assailants laying on the ground with a hole in his knee. There was nothing. No residue, no blood, nothing.
- [97:53]
B
No footprints.
- [97:54]
A
The footprints were there, and the footprints were two discs. Remember I said they have disc on the heel and on the toe, there were the imprints of discs, but you could also see like the outline of a shoe. But they were ineffective at actually killing or injuring any of the assailants. And these are very dangerous traps. And in fact, one of the ladies from the village accidentally tripped one and she got shot in the thigh about a month before we arrived. And so they quit doing the traps because they're very dangerous. So they had. They decided to start patrolling the village sometime in July because they were freaked out. Everybody was completely freaked out. And they had been running their patrols every night for a few months and were still patrolling when we got there. In addition to the disks that they were flying around on, there were also advanced aerospace vehicles involved in the phenomenon. What do I mean by that? The villagers were describing two things for me. They were describing the discs that the guys were flying on, circular discs, and then some of them were drawing in the dirt for me. These other craft. And these other crafts were like, they were sort of delta shaped, but they were shaped like an acorn, like an acorn on its side. So they had rounded edges, but they were sort of delta shaped, something like that. And they were large. They were the size of like a large helicopter. And multiple villagers drew these for me in the dirt. And one particular gentleman drew for me on an acrylic board, and he described it in great detail. And these craft would hover silently over the village and they would be stationary, and then sometimes they would move away at different rates of speed. But multiple, there were multiple witnesses to these craft. In fact, the gentleman who drew the craft for me on the acrylic chalkboard, he said that one night he was right in front of the village in the river on his canoe around 3 o' clock in the morning, pulling up his nets. And as he's pulling up his nets, he said it was like somebody turned the lights on. He said it was like the sun came up suddenly and everything Is illuminated around him. And he realized that there was something above him. So he looks up and he sees this bright light shining down on him. And he sees this craft hovering in the air about 40, 50ft above him. And he's sitting there in the canoe right on the river. This craft is silently hovering above him. And it's semi transparent. He said it had like a transparent mesh around it. You could see the fuselage, you could see the body of the craft, but it was also somewhat transparent. And you could see two individuals sitting inside. He had one up in the front and one in the rear of this craft. And it was shaped precisely like what everyone else described. It was that acorn shape again, acorn on its side, not upright. And he was just in shock. And he said as he was looking at this craft, it had little stubby protrusions, rounded protrusions in the place of wings. So it didn't have wings. And these protrusions opened up and there was a series of lights, like rapidly blinking lights. And he said it was like it was scanning. And then they folded back in and the craft began to move away. And as it moved away, there was a low frequency hum. So as I said, we've got advanced aerospace vehicles in play here. Not just so. The narrative of jetpack miners was obviously becoming less and less, was becoming more and more absurd, let's put it that way. And the cartel explanation was becoming less and less like likely as we were conducting this investigation, Because I don't believe that cartels have this kind of technology. The assailants did have backpacks everybody did describe, but it was like a small hard shell pack that was attached to the body armor. And they clearly were using. They were floating with whatever mechanism was attached to the bottom of their boots. And they were flying on the discs. They were not jet packs. So we surmise that maybe we're looking at some kind of a battery, maybe a mini reactor. I don't know, maybe that's the energy source is the backpack.

The most critical testimony that we heard came from the 15 year old girl who was nearly abducted. Her name is Talia. And we went into the village one evening specifically with the intention to interview her because she had had a close encounter with the assailants. When we went into the village, it's the evening and in the Amazon, you know, in the evening in the plaza, all the men are playing soccer, all the women are playing volleyball. And so we're walking around, everyone's kind of just having fun, playing soccer, volleyball. And we look over and we see this girl sitting all by herself, 15 year old girl sitting up against a hut and she's just all by herself, just sitting there. And the Apu informed us that that was Thalia. And I said, well, can we talk to her? He said, well, I'll talk to her dad and see if her dad can approach her because she's very traumatized, traumatized. And so we're standing there and Apu goes to find the father and she looks over at us, me and Doug, and we're pretty imposing characters. I mean, you know, Doug's a big guy and I'm tall and we're imposing looking gringos, I got a machete and so forth. She looks over at us, she casually glances at us and as soon as she sees us, she starts to tremble and she's maybe, I don't know, maybe 20, 30 yards away. She sees that she instantly starts to tremble and she takes her hair and she moves it to the side of her face to block us from seeing her face. You understand what I'm saying? She takes her hair and moves and she's sitting there trembling and she starts to block her face like this and instantly I recognize, wow, this is serious trauma. And our heart broke for this girl. And the father went over to her and talked to her and tried to convince her to come over and talk to us and she wouldn't come. She just, she got up and ran away and the father, he Came over and said, she's just really, really traumatized. And he said, but here's what I want you to do. Come by tomorrow morning to my house, and I will bring her, and you guys will be able to talk to her. So that's what we did. The following morning, we visited their home, and we waited in the backyard. And the father eventually was able to convince Thalia to come and talk to us. And when I encountered Thalia, when she saw me, she started to cry. And she was trembling uncontrollably. And she started to cry. And again, our hearts broke for this girl. Obviously severe ptsd, and we were triggering it. So she related her story. I was eventually able. It took a while for her to warm up to us. She was associating me and Doug with her assailants. And you'll understand why in a minute. So she had this ptsd, and she was associating us with the assailants. So I interviewed her, and she told me that one evening back in July, she was in her backyard, and she had this long stick, and she was trying to knock down some fruit from the tree to make a drink out of it for dinner. And the sun is just starting to go down. And again, the incursions only happened after dark, or as it was getting dark. And she knocked down a fruit from the tree, and she bent over to pick up the fruit. And when she bent over, she felt a wind at her back. And the dry leaves began to rustle at her feet. And she looked up to see what was generating this wind. And she saw this person dressed head to foot in black body armor, flying on a disc. And he was. She went like this. He was flying on a disk. And behind her house, there's, like, a little gully. And it's a forested gully, so it's jungle back there.
- [108:35]
B
And.
- [108:35]
A
And then around this little forested Gauley, there's other houses, and there's a little hill that comes up to her house. And this is this. This assailant who they all were calling again. Pelacada, the face peeler. He. He floated up next to her, and then he landed next to her, and he grabbed her from behind. He put his hand over her mouth. And then she saw another one coming behind him in the same manner, floating, like, surfing up on this hoverboard, this circular platform. He floats up the hill, lands in front of her, and he grabs her legs. So now she's being held from behind by one assailant. And then her legs. The other guy has her legs. And they lift her up together on their hoverboards, on their circular discs. They lift her up and they fly her behind like this thatch roof, chicken coop. And then they land, and her mouth is covered. And then they proceed. The one who was holding her feet, he took out a powder, and then he took some sort of a solution, and he mixed it in the powder. And he took a nasal syringe, and he sucked it up and shot it up her nose. And this made her feel sedated. And then they took out a long tube, looked like a toothpaste tube or something. And this had a cream in it. And the guy that was holding her mouth from behind, he started to smear this cream all over her face. And as he was doing it, the guy in front said, be careful. Be careful. Don't put too much on. Don't apply too much, because you're going to ruin the flesh. That's what she said in English. So this is the first time that now we're hearing testimony that these assailants. Of these assailants speaking. They spoke in Spanish. In Spanish, yeah. So she referred to the larger one was taller than the other. The larger one was taller than me. The other one was at least as tall as me, if not taller. She referred to the larger one as the gringo, and the shorter one, who was still taller than me, as the Peruvian. Because when they spoke, the larger one had a gringo accent, Spanish accent, and the other one sounded just like them. He sounded Peruvian, so he didn't have an accent. And so after they applied this stuff to her face, they take out what we think what Doug and I think is a laser scalpel. They take out this little device that has, like, a laser light on it, and they begin to make an incision under her jawline, and she starts to struggle. And so they actually restarted the incision. So you can see in photos of her and in the videos that I published on YouTube, you can see the two incision lines. One was here and then the other one right under it. And as they're beginning to cut under her jawline, she's struggling. This is the last energy she has. She starts to freak out. And she gets her hand underneath the helmet of the guy behind her that still has his hand over her mouth, right? And she starts to lift up on the helmet, and he starts. He gets agitated, and he freaks out a little bit because he doesn't want his face to be seen, apparently. That's what she told me. He freaks out for a second, and they drop her and when they drop her, she lets out a blood curdling scream. And remember, the villages are in a state of high vigilance. So they're sitting, the men are all sitting in front of their houses with shotguns and flashlights. This is not the first incursion. They know something's going on, they're aware of these assailants, so they're ready. So when she screams, her brother and a group of other villagers who live in proximity to her house come running instantly, like they're on the scene in 20 seconds. And I talked to them, they showed up with their flashlights and their shotguns. And what they saw was Talia laying on the ground, bloodied up, blood all over her face and neck. She's passed out at this point. And the assailants are hovering like this on their circular platforms. And Talia, before she passed out, after she screamed, she said that the assailants said, let's go, let's go, we gotta get out of here. And then one of them said, no, we can't just leave her here. And so they tried to drag her up the hill. As they're floating on their platforms, they tried to drag her up the hill, but they dropped her because the other villagers were on the scene. And so the villagers are there with their flashlights trained on these guys, two of them, and they maneuver to where there's an opening in the canopy and they shoot up through the canopy. And Talia was of course, unconscious and her face had swollen up. She said whatever that cream was that they applied to her face, it made her face swell up, made her flesh swell up on her face. They took Tahlia to a village down the river where they have a better medical installation and they treated her wounds. And eventually when she came to, which I think was the next day, her face was swollen for three days. She was in the medical facility for a while. They diagnosed her with severe PTSD after this event. And she had severe ptsd. When I was talking to her, trembling, she was talking very quietly and obviously just very traumatized. And her father was traumatized. Her father was there as we were talking. He was filling in some of the details. And so obviously something horrific had happened to this young girl. And her testimony synchronizes with what everyone else was saying. So apparently somebody was out there in the Peruvian Amazon with advanced technology, certainly advanced hoverboard technology, but not just that advanced aerospace vehicles that could hover silently in the air and was terrorizing this village for some unknown reason. Definitely not miners with jetpacks now, there was another incident that I mentioned earlier. This was happening, by the way, in various villages. This was not the only village.
- [115:23]
B
I was going to ask, has this been happening anywhere else?
- [115:25]
A
This was happening in various villages in Altunanay, in that region of Peru and in other regions of the Peruvian Amazon. Reports of the face peelers were surfacing everywhere. So let me address the face peeler thing real quick. So pelacada face peeler. This is a legend that goes back decades in Peru when I lived in the. I lived there for 10 years in the Peruvian Amazon. When I lived there, I heard of the legend of the face peelers. And this was sort of like a face peeler was sort of like a boogeyman. And the mothers would tell their children, don't go out alone at night because the face peeler will get you. And the villagers, the indigenous people, there was no consensus on who the face peelers were. Some of them thought the face peelers were extraterrestrials, aliens. They can't be human precisely because of this technology that's being deployed. Right. Others believe that the face peelers were gringos who were there to harvest organs and for whatever reason, to harvest faces. This phenomenon, this legend, goes back to the mid to early 80s, but not further back than that. It began in the 80s, and I know that for a fact because I talked to the guys in the village, and they specifically told me that their fathers told them about the face peeler phenomenon, but it was not happening in the time of their grandfathers. So it was happening in the 80s. That's when it began. So this was not the first encounter with a phenomenon similar to what these people were experiencing. And that's why they started calling it the pelacada, that these are pelacadas, because for them, this was somewhat familiar. There had been in the past and during this particular episode in the Peruvian Amazon, individuals who were discovered with their face removed or with half of their face removed. I published a YouTube video in which this video got age restricted precisely because of this footage that was in the video of a young man that was being carried out of the. Out of the river by some police officers. And it's apparent that his face, 3/4 of his face had been surgically removed. This was not the result of piranhas chewing on his face. Piranhas leave nicks. I mean, they can clean the bone really well, but it's precision cuts. But these are precision. This is laser cuts around the guy's face, and the flesh of his face is Totally gone. You just see the skeletal structure beneath. That sort of thing has been fairly common in the Peruvian Amazon, again, going back to the 80s. Now, when I say fairly common, I don't mean like every week or every month or even every year, but every now and again, somebody would turn up like that, and hence face peeler. That's why they call them face peelers. When I was there, just about a week or two before I arrived, maybe a few weeks before I arrived, there was an incident that happened to a young boy from a different village called Bagasan. And I learned about this when I was in Nauta. And this boy, he had been attacked. Same description. The assailants had the same description. Black armored bodysuits. The whole. The whole situation was the same. And they had cut into his neck, under the jaw on both sides. And as they were apparently attempting to remove his face, somehow the boy was rescued. I don't know the details of how he was rescued, but somebody showed up on the scene and the assailants fled. This boy, there's footage of him in Peru. Like, they put everything on tv. The news will display really graphic stuff, really graphic car accident. They'll show the whole thing without blurring anything. So there's clips of this boy with these deep lacerations under his jawline and his neck. And he looks like he has two gills cut into his neck. Just like the skin is just flapping and it's just pouring blood. And there was a footage of this boy, he's probably 9 or 10 years old, sitting in the clinic and just obviously in a state of shock. He lost a lot of blood. Fortunately, they were able to save his life. They sewed him up, they gave him some blood, and he survived. But he was attacked by the same phenomenon. We went to Nauta to investigate a particular case. There was a video that surfaced in Nauta that somebody. The villagers were freaking out. It's nighttime. They're pointing at something with their flashlight. And this something that they're pointing at that they're highlighting with the flashlight that they're illuminating. It looks like. Looks like an alien, like a big gray alien up in the tree. It's kind of moving. And I don't know if it is or not, but you can imagine that it could be something like that, because the guy who's training his flashlight on it is saying, there it is, there it is. It's right there. Do you see it? It's right there in the video. And so I wanted to go investigate this. I wanted to see. I wanted to look at this location during daylight hours and now understand the city of Iquitos, which is a fairly large city in the Peruvian Amazon, you can't. It itself is remote, even though it's got a fairly large population. The only way to get to Iquitos is by boat or by airplane. There's no roads. The only place you can get by road from Iquitos is Nauta. And Iquitos is where the Amazon river begins, by the way. That's where the Amazon river begins. So this is intense Amazon jungle out here. And Nauta is like about, I don't know, maybe like an hour to an hour and 20 minute drive from Iquitos. It's the only place you can get by road. Nauta has a population of 35,000. Okay? It's not a village, it's a city. And Nauta has. There's a military installation there. The navy has a presence, the army has a presence. There's army and navy bases in Iquitos. There's a large police force, there's helicopters on site, there's navy vessels on the river there. It's a very well defended area, a lot of infrastructure. We're not talking about a little village anymore. We're not talking about some remote village out there where maybe river miners want to drive these people off their land so that they can mine the river. That narrative is dead because the same phenomenon was happening in Nauta and nobody's driving 35,000 inhabitants out of that place, right? And again, you've got helicopters in play now, you've got automatic weapons in play in regard to the way the armaments of the police force and the military there. So it's much more risky environment for these assailants to be operating in. Nevertheless, they were operating in Nauta. When I went, I found the location I wanted to see during the day and I interviewed the neighbors who live out in front. And I learned that aside from this event where they were training their flashlight on something in the jungle and it was like above a house, I learned that it was actually behind the house. The trees were actually further back than I had thought initially from the video, they said that they were seeing flying saucers and that there was a large saucer that had perched above this house, above this tree, and it shot a light down. And there was like, you know, half a dozen witnesses to this. And they said that and this was all happening at the same time as the, as the incidents out in the jungle. And they told me that on the outskirts of Nauta they would Hear gunshots going off. And when they would talk to the police officers or to the villagers who happened to be walking around at night, coming in from hunting or whatever, to the inhabitants, not villagers, but the inhabitants of Nauta, they described the same exact phenomenon. Individuals who were dressed. People who were dressed in black armored body suits, flying around on these circular platforms. Now, that's really important because as I said, the narrative that jetpack miners driving people off, driving these indigenous people off their land, impossible. That is not the case. That narrative is dead in the water. That's not going to happen in a city, 35,000 inhabitants. It's just not going to happen. So something else is going on, and I don't know what that something else is, but the phenomenon is deadly serious, and it's real. And not just the people in San Antonio Pinto Yacu, but the people in Nauta that I talked to, Antony Quitos, it's not a joke to them. And none of them, by the way, believe it's miners with jetpacks. When I. I was able to, we had a couple of meetings with the villagers, with the elders, and with the men of the village. And I proposed to them this idea that the media had run with, that these are miners, river miners wearing jetpacks. They laughed. They literally all burst out laughing at the notion that that was the explanation, the phenomenon. And finally, while we were still out in San Antonio Pintoyacu Doug and the Navy guys that were accompanying us, they actually trained the villagers, the men, how to conduct a proper patrol. So they trained them how to march in a patrol line. They taught them how to turn in a synchronized fashion so they don't shoot each other, and all of that. They divided the Doug divided the village into sectors so that they could communicate with the radios that we brought them. And it was really impressive. I mean, they trained this. They adapted to this training very quickly. And then they were executing the training at nighttime, as we were sitting in our riverboat. Doug would be communicating that with them on a radio, and we would watch them walking the patrol the way that they were trained to do, communicating with the radios using the night vision goggles and the thermal goggles. And it was really cool that they took to that so quickly, and they were very enthusiastic. And since our investigation, the phenomenon has ceased.
- [126:07]
B
It hasn't happened again?
- [126:08]
A
No. And I've been in contact with the village, and every from time to time, I check in and it's all quiet out there. They've not been revisited by that phenomenon, and it's died down in The Peruvian Amazon, generally speaking. Now, I'm going to tell you one more incident. So when I came back, somebody, this individual, contacted me on X and provided me with the contact number of this person in the city of Yurimaguas in the Peruvian Amazon, who they wanted me to call and interview, because this person apparently had a close encounter with a pelacata, with one of these assailants. And I believe his name was Pablo. I'm familiar with the city of Itimaguas. I've been there on many occasions. And so I called him on his cell phone and we discussed the incident. And what he told me was that one evening, he lives in a home state, so it's not even a village, it's a homestead in the jungle and outside of the city of Udimaguas. He told me that one evening he was bathing in the river just as the sun was going down, and him and a couple of other guys were bathing in the river. And somebody started shouting from one of the houses in the homestead. Pelacada. Pelacada. And he came running out of the river, he threw a towel around his waist. He runs into his house and he grabs a shotgun and a flashlight. And then he starts to look for the intruders. And he sees them. He sees two guys sort of snooping around the outskirts of this homestead. Describes them in the exact same way, black armored bodysuits, the helmets, the almond shaped eye lenses. And he pursues and he starts to chase these guys through the jungle. And they're running, and he's running behind them, and he gets close enough to actually discharge his firearm at them. And he hears the dinking of his bird shot off their body armor. And he said, the first guy. And I get the impression that they ran back to their platforms. The first guy took off, he accelerated into the sky. The second guy was having a hard time because apparently this Pablo damaged his suit. He's having a hard time lifting off the ground. And so Pablo says that he sprinted at the guy and tackled him. He grabbed him around the waist, and as he was holding him around the waist, this assailant was attempting to lift off into the sky. But he couldn't do it. And he took out. The assailant, took out some sort of laser device and shot Pablo with it. Like, he flashed it on him. And Pablo instantly went unconscious. And he woke up to his father and his brother were arousing him, and he had to go to the hospital because he had heart trouble. And he's been diagnosed with the timing of his heart is now is off. So something like some sort of an electrical pulse was discharged into his body and he now has a heart condition because of it. Pablo was deadly serious about this whole incident. And it's just a confirmation. And this happened later on. This happened a couple of months after the incursions into San Antonio de Pinto Yacu, in Nauta and in Alto Nanai. So what the heck is going on? I mean, what is this? This is very, very disturbing. And one final detail. It happened that during this period of time, from the end of June to the end of July, there was a joint military operation happening in Peru. It was called Resolute Sentinel and it involved eight different nations, including the United States. It was headed by the United States, the United States, Great Britain, Ecuador, Bolivia, Bolivia, Panama, Uruguay and a couple of other Brazil and Peru. And it involved the Air Force, it involved the Marines, it involved Space Force, it involved the Coast Guard and a couple of other agencies.
- [130:48]
B
This is verified?
- [130:49]
A
Yes, as I said, it's called Resolute Sentinel 2023. And they were running operations in Peru and it was primarily based, I think it was primarily sea based operations and ostensibly rescue type missions and stuff like that. But it was a big operation. And I was told when I was in Peru, I talked to a general in Peru, a Navy general. And I interviewed him first in Lima before I went out to the jungle, to the village. And we talked about this face peeler phenomenon, which he completely blew off. He didn't think. He thought it was. He bought the jetpack miner explanation. But he confirmed that there was a joint operation underway. He was retired, but very, very prestigious guy in Peru, high up in the Navy. He was an admiral. And he told me that there was actually military assets on the Amazon. Navy assets on the Amazon, I don't know, Peruvian, US Probably Brazilian or something. And that it was quite unusual in that there was a lot of assets deployed for this training exercise, Resolute Sentinel 2023. And it just so happens to coincide with these incursions into the village with the face peeler phenomenon from the end of June to the end of July. Now, for whatever that's worth, I don't know, strange coincidence. So I wondered, and this is. I probably don't believe this, but here's a hypothesis. You know how sometimes these military operations are used as a cover for. So you have like an op that's a cover, like a Resolute Sentinel, for example, they're doing training and they're doing training for rescue missions and so forth. But maybe sometimes that can be a cover for an actual operation that's happening in the country or in the region. In the theater, by the way, all the time. This was Southcom, this was Southern Command, and it was headed by the Air Force. It's possible, at least. Let's just put it in these terms there's a chance. And I'm not saying I buy this. I'm just going to throw this out there. What if there was a serious threat, something out there in the jungle? Human or non human, whatever, there's some kind of a threat out there and they're using Resolute Sentinel 2023 as a cover to run an actual op in the jungle to combat that threat. That's one. You know, that's like. I think. I like to think of that as the Predator hypothesis, right? Like there's something, some bizarre phenomenon happening in the jungle, like the Predator movie, and they send in commandos under the COVID of this Resolute Sentinel and assets. That way they can place assets in the region without drawing attention. Oh, they're just running Resolute Sentinel 2023. The other option I don't like, the other option is that this is part of the op. This is part of. They're testing some kind of technology. That one, I don't like because that would implicate the United States government in this nefarious activity. And I don't like that one. And I don't really believe that that's a plausible explanation. But a lot of people always inevitably throw that out there whenever I talk about this.
- [134:21]
B
I don't think the US Government would be working with Uruguay or Ecuador or Bolivia or any country like that. That, that. I mean, they're just not near as technologically advanced. Do you.
- [134:37]
A
Well, they were. Resolute Sentinel involved, all of those.
- [134:40]
B
I mean, as far as, like an operation.
- [134:42]
A
No, that would. That the op would be. The Resolute Sentinel would. Would be the COVID I get it.
- [134:47]
B
I get it. But I don't think that they would involve all these other countries.
- [134:51]
A
I have no idea. I don't really have. I mean, you would know better than me. I don't know. But it's an interesting coincidence. I mean, it's part of the picture and they may be totally disassociated. It's just. I think it's an important detail to add into this equation.
- [135:09]
B
Has this been happening anywhere else in the world? No, only in Peru.
- [135:14]
A
Now, I heard that, and I'm not sure. I never was able to verify this, but I heard that the phenomenon was happening Right across the border in the Brazilian Amazon, right across the border with Peru. So generally speaking, the same region of the jungle. I was not able to verify that, but there were, as I said, multiple villages involved in this. Multiple villages.
- [135:37]
B
What do you. I mean, what do you think it was?
- [135:41]
A
Well, if Talia's. If her recall of the incident that happened to her is accurate, and the reason why I say that is, remember that they sedated her, that they shot that stuff up into her nose, and she's got severe ptsd. So it is possible that Talia, previous to this assault, was convinced that these were gringo, the face peelers were gringos, and they were there harvesting organs and stuff. So that when they assaulted her, she confabulated some of the details, like hearing them speak. That's possible. She has severe ptsd and that does happen. And she may be recalls hearing them speak when in reality they didn't. That possibility has to be considered because that's a real phenomenon, especially in trouble.
- [136:39]
B
I don't know about that. I mean, a lot of times when people go through traumatic experiences, that that's just what they always go back to. And they remember it like it was yesterday.
- [136:49]
A
Yeah.
- [136:50]
B
You know what I mean?
- [136:50]
A
Yeah. And that's also very possible. So that's. The second possibility is she recalled everything precisely as it happened. And if she's accurate in her recall, then these are human beings. One of them apparently is a gringo. One of them is a Peruvian, and they're with some unknown, maybe Transnational Aerospace Corporation. I don't know. I mean, what are the explanations here? What could this be? Obviously, this is exceedingly nefarious. And one thing that baffles me, if these guys are out there to harvest faces and they've got all this advanced technology, then why do they suck so bad at their job? Right? You would think that they'd be able to take faces left and right and they can blow into town and take ten faces and leave. Why the extended.
- [137:47]
B
Why wouldn't they just take the entire specimen?
- [137:50]
A
That's right. Exactly. And maybe they intended to with Taliban.
- [137:54]
B
Horrible kidnappers.
- [137:56]
A
Right.
- [137:56]
B
They're horrible kidnappers.
- [137:57]
A
They're really bad.
- [137:59]
B
They're kidnapped all the time.
- [138:00]
A
They're really bad at peeling faces if they're face peelers. So it seems to me that the operation is more a terror operation. Like they're. So let's consider this for a moment. Let's say that maybe these assailants are using the face peeler legend as cover for some other operation that's going on in the jungle. This is another possibility. And they want the villagers to think and to perpetuate the idea that the face peelers are here. And so all they would need to do in that case is terrorize the villages every now and again. Abduct somebody or. That's why it wouldn't, that's why they would drop the person and take off, for example, instead of, you know, it.
- [138:45]
B
Would just bring heightened awareness though. Yeah, but, but so it would bring more attention.
- [138:51]
A
But maybe they want that specific attention. Maybe they want the face peeler narrative out there for whatever reason. Like to me that that's what seems the most plausible to me is they're not really interested in harvesting faces because if they were, apparently they can do it with, with, with ease. With all this technology that they have, why would they be making these continual incursions into the village? And by the way, I didn't say this, but some of the villagers told me that they were literally being terrorized. So they would be. They were huddling in their houses at nighttime in San Antonio Pintoyacu, okay. In July, the families would huddle in their houses and they would have whatever weapons that they. Machetes, whatever weapons that they had at on hand. And when the face peelers would come, it was terrorizing. This one lady said that they would, that again, what they're calling face peelers would be pulling on the boards of her house and knocking on the boards of their house like to intentionally terrorize them. And she said one time she walked out of her house because they heard commotion. Her and her family members walked out of the house of flashlights and they saw two things. They saw one of those acorn shaped craft hovering above the village and they saw a couple of these guys in the bodysuits. One of them jumped over the house and she drew in the dirt. The shape of the craft. It was the same, same thing everybody else drew. So like why? What's going on? They're terrorizing these villagers. Why? That's the question and I don't know the answer. I'm totally baffled by this thing. I can tell you that. It happened, it happened. But what is the nature of this phenomenon? I have no idea, quite frankly. It's terrifying.
- [140:50]
B
Man. I can't think of any reason that would happen.
- [140:54]
A
Whatever it is, it's. It's ominous. A little bit reminiscent of the drone situation that was going on here last last year or this past fall. Right. I can't remember the exact time frame that that was happening. But we had those drones hovering in different parts of the country. New Jersey, New York. I don't know about New York, but New Jersey, the East Coast. Some, some were spotted over Washington D.C. that whole situation was. To me, it had face peeler vibes. I mean it was just. There seemed to be no logical explanation. And there really has never been any explanation.
- [141:35]
B
Yeah, yeah. It feels like those weren't little acorn things or big acorns.
- [141:42]
A
Yeah. So the size of SUVs. But it's reminiscent. To me, it's reminiscent this bizarre phenomenon that's just going on for multiple days since the 80s. No, I'm talking about the drone phenomenon.
- [141:56]
B
Oh, oh, oh, the drones. Yeah.
- [141:58]
A
Yeah. I'm just saying it's that when I saw the drone phenomenon happening on the east coast of America, it gave me face peeler vibes. You know, it seemed to be. There seemed to be no logical explanation. Why are these drones just day after day, night after night, continually hovering around New Jersey? And the government is being very mum about the whole thing. The, the, the explanations that are coming forth don't make any sense. There's like mass, there's mass hysteria breaking out. Because mass hysteria is part of the, of the face peeler phenomenon as well. That's definitely in the equation. Mass hysteria. That certainly was happening during the, the drone incident on the East Coast. There was mass hysteria. So there was a lot of people thinking they were seeing a drone and they weren't. They were seeing an airplane or a helicopter. But there was a lot of people who were legitimately seeing these things. And it just, it has the same sort of mystique as the face peeler stuff and very, very bizarre.
- [143:01]
B
Yeah, no kidding.

All right, Tim, we're back from the break. Had a nice lunch there. And I'm trying to wrap my head around why this is why that happened. And I mean, it kind of when you were talking about it, it reminded me of this conversation I had with this guy, Michael Herrera, who had an encounter. I'm a little. It's been years since I chatted with him, but it was basically some type of a human trafficking thing. It sounded like this is a long time ago, but I don't think this is human trafficking.
- [146:18]
A
Yeah, no, I agree. I think it is reminiscent of Herrera's testimony. And if I recall, Herrera was deployed to, I think it was Indonesia after a natural disaster, and they were doing like rescue ops. And he was with a platoon. I think it was Marines. I could be getting this wrong. And they stumbled upon a craft, a large disc hovering out there in the jungle in a clearing. And they learned, without going into all the details, which I'm foggy on as well, they were confronted with human beings dressed in fatigues. So obviously this was some kind of. This technology was being operated by human beings. And he seems to think it had something to do with human trafficking. And that's interesting to me because if you're in the business of human trafficking, what better opportunity do you have than to Go in after a natural disaster when thousands of people are already missing, that would seem to be the appropriate moment to go in and harvest human beings. So this phenomenon in Peru, the face peeler phenomenon, you know, there's echoes of Herrera's testimony here. It seems to me that there's a nefarious, maybe transnational faction that is in possession of advanced technology, perhaps, perhaps derived from non human technology. And whatever they're doing, it's obviously, it's terrorizing and it's nefarious. But what exactly are they doing? Why are they terrorizing these villagers? Why are they cutting their faces off? Are they harvesting something from the glands? Do they want to terrorize the people first before they harvest whatever the village?
- [148:10]
B
They just don't understand that if they wanted to harvest something, if they wanted to traffic. I mean, I mean, they're horrible kidnappers, they got amazing tech. But they're obviously really bad at kidnapping. It's not that damn hard to kidnap.
- [148:23]
A
They suck at peeling faces.
- [148:24]
B
You could do with a, you know, an astro van.
- [148:28]
A
Right?
- [148:29]
B
I mean, but. And even if they were harvesting, why wouldn't they just kidnap them and then do it there?
- [148:36]
A
You know, it makes no sense.
- [148:38]
B
I mean, how remote are these villages?
- [148:41]
A
San Antonio Pintoyacas are two, two day trip up the river. And like I said, it's the last, really, it's the last. It's the last vestige of civilization before a vast track of uninhabited rainforest. And so it is, it is exceedingly remote and.
- [148:59]
B
But they have communications and there's other, there's other villages.
- [149:04]
A
Yes, and the other. And they work.
- [149:05]
B
No communication, so.
- [149:06]
A
That's right.
- [149:07]
B
Couldn't even get out.
- [149:07]
A
That's right.
- [149:08]
B
You know, so I don't even know why they would target that.
- [149:11]
A
That's a good point. Yeah, but, but remember they, they were doing the same, running the same operation in Nauta and 35,000 inhabitants. Military installation, police force, helicopters. That's not a soft target.
- [149:25]
B
Yeah, no, not at all. And, and like I, like I mentioned earlier, I don't think it, I don't think it was a, you know, lateral unit, multilateral multinational mission. Not with, especially with those countries, I mean, just so far behind.
- [149:43]
A
No, I don't think those other countries. I don't personally think that the US government had anything to do with this. But is it possible that there was an op running that, that op was running cover? The Resolute Sentinel op was cover for like I described earlier, like predator type operation where you got commandos going into the jungle trying to.
- [150:03]
B
These things happen all the time, even at the low level that I was at, you know, in the SEAL teams, just for example, we did a. We set up a medical site that was technically a legitimate medical site, but the whole premise was to lure Taliban in so that we could kill them. And because we advertised it and got put out like, hey, if you guys need medical. So it brought a lot of attention. And we thought that, you know, so that was an op. That was a cover op. Yeah, it was a legitimate op. A much obviously lower scale than something like this, but I just, I can't wrap my head around it. I can't believe more people aren't talking about it.
- [150:44]
A
You know, My colleague Richard Dolan is a UFO historian. He coined a term years ago, breakaway civilization. And what he meant by breakaway civilization was, was pondering this idea. Is there a faction among the human species who has possession of exceedingly advanced technology that basically allows them to live in a world, a technological world, that is. It's like us today compared to people living at the turn of the century, in the early 1900s. That would be the technological gap we're talking about, like 100 year gap. And if such a breakaway civilization exists, what are they doing with that technology? And I think that's a plausible thesis. I think there may at this point be such a thing as a breakaway civilization, that there are factions, whether they be transnational corporations or cartels or whatever, or aerospace companies that are in possession of technology that would completely transform human society. But rather than use it to transform human society, rather than use it to solve the hunger problem, rather than use it to solve the energy problem, to lift people out of poverty in the third world, apparently they're using it for nefarious purposes, terrorizing people in the Amazon. And what else are they doing? That's why at the very beginning of this conversation, we were talking about the occult in the mystery schools. And to me, this feels like it's in that vein, like there's something going on here that is so dark and so dastardly that it would be difficult for normal people to contemplate, to conceive of this kind of a scenario where people would use advanced technology to do these terrible things. But all I can say is that's what happened in the Amazon. Somebody was deploying advanced technology, including aerospace technology, to terrorize these villagers.
- [152:56]
B
Have you poked holes in their story at all?
- [152:59]
A
Yeah, well, the thing is that there were so many witnesses, so many testimonies, both from San Antonio de Pinto Yacu, but then also in Nauta and in iquitos the city of Iquitos, that it's hard to deny something happened. And there's no reason for me to doubt that they saw what they saw. I mean, they were. And then of course, you have Talia. There's no question that she was diagnosed with. In fact, I was shown the official, the letter from the doctor that she has severe ptsd. And I'll tell you that I paid for her to go to Ketos to see a psychiatrist because she was so. She was so psychologically damaged from this incident and she wasn't faking. They didn't put on a show for me. Now, are they embellishing? Are they exaggerating? Are they recalling things that maybe didn't happen exactly the way that they remember? Probably. I have no doubt that that's the case. But are they just lying? Remember the villagers were begging the navy to protect them. Begging the navy. They weren't begging gringos to come investigate. They weren't begging gringos to come bring them food and technology. They were begging their government to protect them. That's what they wanted, protection. They were asking the navy to station a ship or some assets outside of the village on the river to watch over them until this phenomenon.
- [154:43]
B
Did they get a response from the government?
- [154:45]
A
Yeah. Two police officers were dispatched from Iquitos to investigate the attempted abduction of Talia. They had a navy escort up the river, but the navy was not involved in investigation. And it's from these two police officers, by the way. That's where the Jetpack Minor narrative comes from. Those two police officers concocted that narrative. And in defiance of the villagers, by the way, the villagers told them, no, we didn't see that. We didn't experience what you're saying we did. But the, the police officers, and they did a piss poor investigation, if you can even call it an investigation. They just showed up and talked to some people and got on their boat and left. We were the only ones who actually went to the village to conduct a more thorough investigation.
- [155:32]
B
That's mine.
- [155:33]
A
Yeah. And we were there for a few days. So remember, I mean, to your question of did I poke holes in the story, if the villagers were asking for international aid or gringos come help us, or appealing to people using this store to try and get stuff that would raise a red flag. But because their initial reaction, their only reaction was to beg their own government to protect them with the navy, that is an indication that, that, that they're telling the truth because they're concerned about their well being. That's, that's the initial response, protect us. And, you know, I've conveyed what they told me. I did not see the phenomenon myself, although we were prepared to capture it. We had our own night vision recording capabilities and we were, in fact, that was. We were hoping to capture the phenomenon on camera. We did not. And as I said before, it had subsided by the end of August anyway, and we didn't get there till October.
- [156:44]
B
You know, Peru has a long history of believing or, I don't know, in UFOs and extraterrestrial life. I mean, I've watched a ton of documentaries on Machu Picchu because of the precision cuts and stuff that are in those walls. What's your take on all of that?
- [157:04]
A
Peru is, you know, I like to quote Remington, and I don't know if this is an actual quote from Remington, but I've heard it. I've heard that Remington said that Africa was the last best place for hunting, right? For hunting big game animals. That's how I feel about Peru. Peru is the last best place for, like, making discoveries. Peru is. It feels wild still. And so much of it is still uncharted. You could say the same thing for the Amazon, for the Brazilian Amazon. But in Peru you have three distinct terrains all in one country. Of course, you have the Amazon jungle, the Amazon rainforest, which is the largest tropical forest on Earth. And then that runs directly into the Andean mountain, the Andes Mountains. And the Andes are the second large, the second highest mountain range in the world. World. And then that on the other side of the Andes, on the west coast of Peru, you have a inhospitable desert. And this is like the second driest place in the world. All of these extreme environments are in one country. And you can literally be in the Amazon. And then in the same day, you're in this lush jungle environment. And then the next day, or even the same day later on, you're in this hostile desert environment, literally the polar opposite of where you just were. It's really a. It's a mystifying country. It still has deep connections with its culture, the jungle. The indigenous people in the jungle are still close to their cultural practices and traditions and beliefs. The Quechua people in the Andes and the. The various indigenous cultures up there are sometimes in some areas of Peru, they only speak Quechua. They don't even speak Spanish. So it's just. There's just so much mystique, mystery, discovery waiting to happen in Peru. And it always draws me back. And then in the midst of all of this, you have some of the most remarkable megalithic edifices on the face of the planet. You have, for example, in Cusco, the walls, the magnificent megalithic walls of Sacsayuaman. And some of the most precise masonry, cyclopean masonry, you'll find anywhere. Ojantaytambo. And then, of course, the foundations of Machu Picchu are megalithic.
- [159:44]
B
How do you think they did it? Or do you think they did it?
- [159:49]
A
The Inca. The Inca were an extraordinary civilization. They were. The Inca were master road builders. The Inca were. They built incredible aqueducts. They were advanced. They were an advanced agrarian society. In many ways, they were the Romans of South America. They could build very impressive structures made of stone. Stone structures. But I do not believe that they were capable of building Sacsayhuaman. I do not. And they never claimed, by the way, to have built any of the megaliths in Peru. And I have a colleague of mine named Anselm Piarambla. Anselm. I've done a lot of work in Peru with Anselm. He and I discovered a lost city in the Andes that we call Tauri Punku. And we don't know if it's Inca or Chachapoyan. We're not sure, but. But it was before we made the official discovery of this city.
- [160:44]
B
What do you mean you discovered an ancient city? Were you looking for it?
- [160:50]
A
We were contacted by someone who lived in a village in the Andes and said, hey, there's some interesting ruins out here that you guys specifically. My colleague Anselm was contacted and he was told, you should come investigate these ruins. They could be very significant. So every time someone says, like me or anyone else, you know, we made this discovery. Well, the local populations usually know about the thing, just like with Machu Picchu. Hiram Bingham officially discovered Machu Picchu, but the local populations knew about Machu Picchu. I mean, they. They knew the ruins were there. In fact, they're the ones who brought him there. He wasn't looking for Machu Picchu. He was looking for, I think, Vilcabamba. And in the same way this discovery we made, the locals, the villagers were aware that there were ruins up there. So they contacted us, and we went in with a team on an expedition to explore the ruins. And we determined that, indeed, this is a city. This isn't just a little settlement. There's enough ruins up there that would constitute a city. It's an important city. Now, we don't know who, again, who built the city. Could be Inca, could be from the Chachapoyas culture, but we did make the official discovery of that location, of that what we call Tauri Punku.
- [162:15]
B
What's it like walking into that?
- [162:18]
A
You know, everything's covered in vegetation. This is in the Andes, so it's not jungle, but it's sort of, it's not cloud forest either. It's kind of a in between zone. It's very wet. And so you see a lot of ruins that have been consumed by the forest. I mean, you have stone walls that are literally have the roots of trees wrapped around them and growing on full grown trees growing on top of stone walls. There was no monumental architecture, in other words, there was no megalithic structures that at Tauri Punku. But there's a lot of stone structures, different configurations of both rectangular and circular edifices. And it's the circular edifices that make us wonder if this is actually a Chachapoyan lost city. It's a lost city. And it's kind of surreal. Like you feel like you're in a movie when you're walking through there. The problem is a lot of these lost cities, as I said, are known to the locals. The locals have known about them for generations, but they don't tell anybody. But what this means is that they've been ransacked. So the first thing that happens when a site like this is discovered is people go looking for artifacts to sell, and they go looking for jewelry, bracelets, gold, silver, precious stones. And so the sites get ransacked. Especially if the waqueros, the grave robbers, catch wind of it, they'll go in and absolutely empty it out indiscriminately. And what that does is it destroys all of the archaeological evidence that you would use to determine who built the place. Now, I'm not an archaeologist. I'm an explorer. Researcher, explorer. So is Anselm. We did have some, some different individuals from different backgrounds on our team. But you're always hoping to find artifacts. That's what you're really looking for. You're looking for pottery, you're looking for any kind of artifact that could help you identify the builder. And unfortunately, at Talvipunku, the place had been cleaned out. And we were told that two mummies had been discovered there, or a series of mummies. A few mummies had been discovered. And they were dressed in, in royal regalia. This is what we were told by the locals, they were dressed in royal regalia. They had gold and silver and that, that all of that was ransacked and removed. And then what they do, what they'll do, the Juaqueros, the grave robbers, they'll go in and they'll ransack a lost city or an archaeological site that hasn't officially been discovered yet. And then they cover their tracks by destroying everything. They destroy the bodies. They get rid of all the, you know, all of the skeletal remains. So they absolutely contaminate the scene, so to speak. So that if archaeologists, you know, by the time archaeologists get there, it's already been destroyed. That's a real problem in Peru. That's a real problem.
- [165:28]
B
Were there any markings or.
- [165:30]
A
We found skeletal remains. Yeah, we found skeletal remains. There's burials up there. And I was accompanied by my friend Chase Kalitzki, who's a certified forensic investigator. And so, you know, we looked at the remains and there was nothing really remarkable about them. Anomalous, except for there were signs of trepanation. I think I'm saying that word right.
- [165:59]
B
What is that?
- [166:00]
A
It's where they make the holes in the skull, where they do surgery on the brain and they'll actually. They'll cut the skull open and they do something. Sometimes I think what they. I think that some of these ancient cultures maybe thought that if you opened up the skull, you could release bad spirits or something like that, or release the thoughts. I'm not sure what they were doing. Nobody really knows why they did it.
- [166:30]
B
Did you get a date on the bones?
- [166:32]
A
No, we. No, we didn't. We didn't get a date on the bones. It's going to be Inca or Chachapoyas. It's going to be one of those two cultures. We're convinced of that. It's one of those two cultures. We're not sure which one. You know, it's going to require some archaeologists to follow up and go up there and make that determination. Has anybody done that? Not to my knowledge, no. I published. We made a film. I published a series of films including this discovery, but those films are published in my members community. So we haven't gone public with the find yet because we were actually making a TV show. That's a long story. That's a really long story. That's a crazy story. By the way, we were making a TV show in Peru and long story short, we ran into the ICA mob and we had to change gears. And so this TV show was gonna be on a network, a big network, and there's a whole. It was a whole saga that unfolded. But we did film it. Damn.
- [167:39]
B
It would have been a good one.
- [167:40]
A
Oh, it would have been a great show. Originally it was a treasure hunting show. And there was this crazy story that had to do with my friend Anselm. And Anselm is. I always refer to Anselm as the most interesting man in the world. Anselm Pirambla, by the way. Returning to this topic of megaliths and Cuzco, I think I mentioned to you, maybe I didn't mention to you that we have. Me and my partner, Gary Haven. Gary Haven, the founder of Curves, the Fitness franchise from the 90s, early 2000s. We procured, we are in possession of state of the art aerial GPR unit, which means basically we have a GPR unit that we can fly. It's on a drone platform and it's very high resolution. It can see 300ft beneath the surface of the Earth. It's got two different antennas. One is a deep penetrating antenna that's used to find structures.
- [168:47]
B
The other, it's like that LIDAR stuff. Huh?
- [168:49]
A
It's gpr. LIDAR is different. We brought lidar, by the way, up to Tauri Punku, but it kept falling out of the sky. For whatever reason, the drones just kept falling out of the sky. We brought a LIDAR T and it was lidar usa. Really great guys, really professional guys. But there was something that was affecting something in the drones, the communication between the drone and the controller. And they just kept falling out of the sky until we lost them all. And we did get limited LIDAR data which did confirm our suspicion that this was a important settlement, this was a lost city anyway. That's different from the aerial GPR unit that me and Gary Haven have. And that GPR unit, you can see the deep penetrating antenna for large structures. And then you can see under the right conditions, under the perfect conditions, we can see a corridor 15ft under the ground.
- [169:52]
B
Wow.
- [169:53]
A
And we were using this technology in Peru, doing different things. And this is kind of a long backstory here. So I'm going to try and truncate this as best I can. So when you read the history of Peru, obviously the history of the conquest of Peru begins with Francisco Pizarro. In the 1530s. He landed on the shores actually of Ecuador and then marched south into Peru into the Inca territory, into their empire with 176 thereabouts conquistadors. And on his way, as Pissarro made his way south, first he went to Cajamarca. This was his first encounter with the Inca, or at least certainly with Inca royalty in Cajamarca. Cajamarca was an important Inca city. And when Pizarro went to Cajamarca The Inca knew he was coming. The Zapa Inca, the Inca king, Atahualpa was his name. He knew that Pisado was coming. And this is going to tie into the Cusco thing here in a minute. And so when Pisado gets to Cajamarca, the city is vacated again. This was an Inca city, and the Spaniards don't know what's going on. Why is this beautiful city vacated? So they take up residence in the plaza Pisado and his conquistadors. And what happened was that the king, the Zapa Inca, knew that the Spaniards were coming and he wanted to meet them. And so he vacated the city. And the Spaniards realized that they were surrounded because in the mountains around the city were thousands of Inca, thousands of Inca soldiers. And they lit their fires at night, and the Spaniards were so frightened, they were peeing their pants, as recorded in the chronicles, because they thought, we're screwed. You know, there's 176 of them. 170, some odd number of them. Nobody knows the exact number, but there's 170 some of them. And they're totally surrounded by thousands of Inca. And the Sapa Inca is with them. And the Zapa Inca, Atahualpa. We'll cut through some of the details here. Ultimately, he makes this grand procession into the city because he's going to meet these, you know, these strange men dressed in metal who've come to his land, who've entered encroaching upon his empire. And he wasn't sure if these were gods because they thought maybe these are the viracochas, the gods who are returning, the bearded gods. This is part of the legends of the Inca, right? And he wanted to see, are these gods? Who are these people? And so he makes a grand procession into the city, into Cajamarca, with dancers and music and all the pomp and circumstance of the Sapa Inca. And he enters the courtyard and the Spaniards obviously saw him coming. And so what they did was they set up their cannons and their gunners and everything, and around the courtyard and the Inca had never seen a firearm of any kind. And I'm going somewhere with this. And the Inca, he's marched into the plaza sitting on his litter, you know, being carried. The servants are carrying him on their shoulders, and he's sitting up on his litter. And there were so many Inca, they crammed into this plaza so they could barely move. And Pisado sent out his priest, and the priest walks up to the Zapa Inca, the Inca king, with the Bible, and he hands him the Bible. And basically submit, submit to the Spanish crown and the church in Rome. And Atahuallpa takes the Bible and he doesn't know what. He's never seen a book before and he looks at it and throws it on the ground. And this gives Pisado the pretext to open fire. They open fire and they're unarmed by the way. Just bunch of Inca men crammed into this courtyard. And the Spanish open fire and the cavalry charge and they capture Atahualpa. They slaughter all the guys in the courtyard. They capture the Zapa Inca. This is like. They realize later that this is like chess where if you capture the king, game over, the pieces don't move on the board anymore. This is part of the reason why the Spaniards were able to conquer the Inca with such ease. Part of the reason is because they checkmated the Inca early on at Cajamarca. They captured the king in the Inca. The mechanism of the empire didn't work without the king, without the Sapa Inca. So they capture Atahualpa. Long story short, there what happens next is what's called the ransom of Atahualpa. And Atahualpa tries to ransom his life by prompt. Once he realized that the Spaniards wanted gold, he famously boasted to them that he could fill a room with gold. And he put a marking up on the wall. I could fill this room with gold up to here and these two rooms with silver if you'll trade me for this as a ransom negotiation. So the conquistadors, Pisado and the conquistadors agree to this. That's why they're there, right? They want gold. So Atahualpa starts, he puts the word out and they start bringing the gold and silver. And he nearly does it. He nearly fills these two rooms, these three rooms up with gold and silver. But Pizarro knows that this is the, this is the king. This is the most critical piece on the board, right? He's not going to. He's not going to let Atahualpa go free, so he has him executed. And I should say, just as a side note, Atahualpa and Pizarro became very good friends. Pisado wept at his execution, had him convert to Christianity so he could be strangled rather than burned at the stake, had him baptized. And then this is where I'm connecting back to Cusco. The conquistadors begin their march back to Cusco because they learned that Cusco was the capital and that that's where the real treasures of the Inca were, was in Cusco. Specifically, specifically the epicenter of the Inca empire was a temple of Inca culture. The epicenter of the culture of the empire was the temple called Kodicancha. That's a Quechuan word and it means the place of gold. Coricancha was absolutely laden with gold and silver. The walls were covered in plaques of gold. And they had, at Koticancha, they had a garden, a life size garden with life size depictions of different animals and people and plants, stalks of corn and all casted in pure gold and silver, the whole thing. Okay, so the Spanish catch wind of this, so they're making a beeline for Cuzco to capture the capital city. They already executed the king, now they're going to get the capital city and all the treasure. Well, the Inca priests, obviously they know the Spaniards are coming, so what do they do? In the Coricancha are the most important artifacts of the Inca Empire. This is where the great golden sun, this artifact that was cast in the form of a sun, this is where that artifact was. And all kinds of. In fact, in the Coricancha they had the mummified remains of their previous Sapa Incas, previous Inca emperors. And on the winter solstice, which is a time celebrated festival called Intiraimi in Peru, they would parade the corpses of these past Inca kings were on as if they were still alive. Right? So this was like this was this most sacred place in the Inca Empire. The foundations of this temple are megalithic. They're made of green diorite. But today, if you go to Koticancha, you'll see these exquisite andesite walls that are built in the cyclopean style. They're cyclopean, which means there's no mortar between the joints. They're fitted precisely together. I'm not sure if those walls, if the walls inside of the temple were built by the Inca, probably, okay, but this would represent the finest monumental architecture of the Inca. But that's not the point. The point is that the priests, because the Spaniards were on their way and they knew what the Spaniards wanted. Now they wanted the gold and silver artifacts. What did the priests do? They gathered a couple thousand of the Inca in Cuzco and they began to collect all of the most important artifacts of the Inca, including many of those artifacts made of gold and silver. And they took them down into a tunnel, the entrance of which was beneath the temple of the Koticancha. They took these artifacts down into this tunnel, and this tunnel runs for one mile beneath this, the Koticancha. Beneath Koticancha the temple of the Inca, to the galleries and caverns beneath the megalithic citadel of Sacsayhuaman. And it makes a straight line, right? Because according to legend, beneath Sacsaywaman, which is that megalithic site I referenced earlier, there's, there's a whole underground complex and it was very important to the Inca. And this is allegedly, according to legend, this is where all these artifacts went. They went to those chambers beneath that megalithic edifice. So the Spaniards arrive, they siege the city of Cusco, they overthrow the Inca, they take possession of the city, but the priests keep the secret. The Spaniards never learn about tunnel.
- [180:07]
B
No kidding.
- [180:08]

They never learn about the tunnel. So much of the gold and silver and certainly the most important religious artifacts go into the tunnel and make their way down to the galleries under that megalithic wall. Spaniards never learn about it. They hear rumors of it, but it's only rumors. And over the years, this has become a legend, a myth. So if you go to Cusco today and you ask an archaeologist or an anthropologist or a historian about. It's called the Cincana, by the way, the Cincana Grande. Specifically, if you ask them about the Cincana, the Shinkana is that tunnel, they'll say, oh, that's just a legend, that's just a myth. Now they'll admit that there is gold and silver artifacts of the life size. They'll show you that today where it was at the Coricancha, that these life size figurines were cast in gold and silver. That's all historical record, but they'll tell you that the tunnel's a myth, doesn't.

B
Exist, and nobody's found it.
- [181:02]
A
Nobody's found it until we found it.
- [181:05]
B
Get the fuck out of here.
- [181:06]
A
You found it. We found it. And we found it. And me and Gary and Anselm Pirambla together. Now, Anselm, I'm gonna try and not go, not digress too far into this. But Anselm has had the opportunity to do some unprecedented excavations in the city. In Cusco, Anselm excavated at Sacsayhuaman. He excavated in front of the walls of Sacsayhuaman, and later on, miraculously, he obtained permission to excavate in the Coricancha. Unprecedented, okay. When he was excavating at Sacsayhuaman, he discovered at the lowest levels of that edifice only exclusively pre Incan artifacts.
- [181:58]
B
Wow.
- [181:58]
A
No Inca artifacts were present at the lower levels. What does that indicate? The Inca didn't build those walls.
- [182:05]
B
Wow.
- [182:06]
A
Only pre Inca artifacts. And he had all of the proof I've seen the artifacts, pictures of the artifacts, and I've been to Sacsayhuaman with Anselm. He walked me through the site and showed me where he excavated. And all of this is very well known. He was interviewed on Peruvian TV up in Cusco when they were doing their excavations. And I forget when this was. I want to say it was back in the 90s, I think. I don't recall. But while Anselm was excavating at the walls of Sacsayhuaman, he heard about the rumor of the Shinkana and he decided that he was going to take a couple of guys from his team and they were going to go down to the Coricancha to investigate this legend. Now, understand that the Coricancha is only. It's there still today. You can go visit it in Cusco. And you still have the foundational level of the Koticancha. It's still there. You still have the ruins. But there's a Catholic church, Santo Domingo, that's built on top of it. There's a cathedral there and there's a convent, the cathedral and convent of Santo Domingo. And it's owned, basically, it's overseen by the Dominican order. This is all very interesting because the new pope is united Dominican, who spent much of his time in Peru. So the Dominican order has been occupying the Coricancha for centuries. The conquistadors gave it to the Dominican order. And so Anselm goes down to see if he can find out about this legend, and he meets with the prior of the order there, the head priest, and the prior receives him and they sit down in his office and Anselm says, I'm over here excavating at Sacsayhuaman, and I've heard about this legend of the Shinkana, and I'm just curious if it's true. And the priest thinks about it for a minute and he looks at Anselm and he says, yes, the legend is true. And then he says, would you like to see it? And Anselm is kind of in shock, like, yeah, of course. So the priest accompanies Anselm and a couple of his guys into the cathedral. They help him push an altar out of the way that's sitting there on the cathedral floor. And there's a trap door under this altar. They open the trap door, they descend down these stairs into a crypt, a colonial crypt. And as they're in the crypt, they notice that there's. There's an opening that's been partially blocked off with bricks. And Anselm walked up to the opening and he asked the priest, what's this? And the priest said, that's the Shinkana. And Anselm took his flashlight, flashed in there, and he saw the tunnel. And he said that the tunnel was lined with the same exquisite masonry.
- [185:17]
B
As above.
- [185:17]
A
As above, as the temple above. And these are trapezoidal, you know, the doors, the Inca doors are trapezoidal and the tunnel is trapezoidal. Trapezoidal. And it just went on endlessly. There was the Shinkana. So Anselm said, this is great. The legend is true. I've got my team excavating at Sacsayuaman. Let me go get them and bring them here, and we'll take these bricks down and we'll go in and we'll, and we'll, you know, we'll will make this discovery and film it and everything. And suddenly the priest, his disposition changes on a dime. And he says, no, no, no, no, no, I should have never brought you here. You're not supposed to be here. You're not supposed to see this. Get out. And he kicks them out of the church, out of the crypt, and out of the cathedral. He just flips on a dime. Okay? So now Anselm knows that the legend is true. He's seen the tunnel with his own eyes. He knows that the most important artifacts of the Inca empire and who knows what else is hidden under that, in the galleries, beneath that megalithic, that ancient megalithic edifice. So ultimately, he gets permission, and I'm not going to go through how, but miraculously gets permission to excavate at the Coricancha. What's his objective? Well, he's got a public objective, which is whatever, but privately his objective is to get into the Cincana, right? Brings this team, this is years later, like I believe the early 2000s. I'm probably wrong on the dates. He brings his team to Peru and he's got a really an international team, got gpr, he's got all kinds of equipment. They're ready to make this discovery because he knows it's there, he's seen it. They arrive on the scene. After miraculously getting permission to excavate, he goes into the cathedral. Somebody changed the floor. The floor has been retiled. Okay. He takes his GPR unit, goes to where he knows the crypt is. Can't find the crypt. Long story short, it appears that somebody filled it in with debris or that it naturally maybe an earthquake and whatever, but the crypt is now inaccessible. So now he's got to try to find a different way in, right? Because the crypt is closed. So he spends, I forget how many months on this excavation. They actually discover the foundations of the temple. That's how I know that the foundations of the temple are megalithic green diorite, as are the megalithic foundations of Cuzco in general. Definitely predates the Inca. The foundations, megalithic green diorite. And long story short, he gets kicked out of the church. They have to. And this was, you know, the president of Peru visited him when he was doing this. The queen of Spain came and visited the excavation. This was a big deal in Peru. And ultimately Anselm got kicked out. Could not get into the Chinkana. Very frustrated, right? That was the goal. Well, fast forward now, years later, I'm with Anselm in Cusco. We have our GPR unit. Well, Anselm knows where the tunnel is. He saw it, right? He knows where it goes. So we surreptitiously, we took our unit, put it in a duffel bag, and we walked the perimeter of the church. And we then took the data, put it into the computer, and guess what showed up?
- [188:42]
B
No way.
- [188:44]
A
The Shinkana. And you can see the trapezoidal form of it, the shinkana, right where Anselm said it was. The tunnel's there. Then Anselm, later on, he acquired another unit, an additional unit, the one that we had. And he went back with his team and he did the same thing. He walked to perimeter and verified the original discovery of the GPR data. And he even got a clearer scan because he took more time. And he got a really good 3D image of. Of the Shinkana. It's there. And then he did a press conference last year in Barcelona where he revealed the data. Right then, I don't know if you saw this, but last year this was international news. It was announced after Anselm did his conference in Barcelona. It was announced that archaeologists in Cusco have discovered tunnels beneath the city. Legendary tunnels beneath the city. They stole his data. We know for sure they did. They stole the GPR data. They basically, they claimed to be the discoverers when it was really Anselm and they were trying to get a project to excavate. But long story short, I'm not sure how much of this I'm allowed to say, but let's just say that there's a really good chance Anselm P. Ramla will be breaking into the Chinkana soon.
- [190:17]
B
Oh, man, that's awesome. So are you gonna be There for that?
- [190:21]
A
Yes.
- [190:22]
B
Awesome. Can I come?
- [190:25]
A
Very possibly, yes. So this could be one of the biggest discoveries in Peru since Machu Picchu.
- [190:34]
B
When is this happening, do you know?
- [190:37]
A
He's working on the permitting. I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to share, but let's just say that Anselm is. Has all. Everything in the works behind the scenes. I didn't even know this. I met with his son in Lima. He has no idea that I'm sharing this. But the Shinkana is real. So the question is.
- [191:00]
B
What'S down there?
- [191:01]
A
What's down there? What artifacts are sequestered away beneath the walls of Sacsaywaman? Well, I think maybe a clue regarding the identity of the builders of the megaliths in Peru. That may be one thing that's down there. Who knows? I mean, all of the most important artifacts of the Inca are there, and it's real. It's not a legend. This story is true. And I'll give you one more detail. Anselm, while he was excavating in the church, he was working with the. With a prior, a Dominican named Father Gamara, who I met later on with Anselm. Father Gamara was very friendly to Anselm and his team. Gamara told Anselm that the existence of the Cincana has been known to the Dominican order and has been a secret kept by the priors of the church. I don't know if that's why we say it in Spanish. I don't really know how to say it in English. I hope I'm using the right terminology. By the head clergyman at the Cathedral of Santo Domingo in Cusco. That secret has been kept and handed down from prior to prior. Okay. And so he affirmed to Ansel that the legend is true. In fact, furthermore, he said, I want to show you something. He took Anselm into a back room and he showed him an artifact. It was a crown that was cast in pure gold, and it was sitting on a statue of Mary. And they called it the crown of the Mother of the Virgin and the Child. That's what they named this relic, the Crown of the Virgin and the Child. But then he told Anselm the story of where the gold came from. And the story goes something like this. Years ago, I believe it was back in the early 20th century, there were a couple of young people who somehow had. They made their way down into the galleries beneath Sacsaywaman because there are other entrances besides the Shinkana Grande, because some of these caverns are natural Right. So you can, there's other ways to get down in there if you can find them. And these two young people, these two, I think they were teenagers or young men, they made their way down into the galleries beneath Sacsayhuaman and ultimately they got lost down there. By the way, the word Shinkana means labyrinth, but it also means the place where one gets lost. So we call it labyrinth because that's sort of what it defines. But in Quechua it also means the place where one gets lost. And the legend, the Quechua believe that it's cursed, that you go down there, you're going to go crazy or you're going to die. And in fact, of these two young guys that went down there, one of them perished in the labyrinth, the other one made it out. And the way this is what Gamara told Anselm, the other one made it out because one day back in that era, probably, I don't know, back in the, as I said, Early 20th century, one night the priests heard somebody knocking. There was a knocking coming from somewhere in the cathedral and they didn't know where it was and so they were looking around. What's this knocking? Ultimately, they realized that the knocking was coming from the floor of the cathedral, from the trap door. So they open up the trap door and here's this young man and he's starving, he's dehydrated and he's in a state of disorientation. They pull him out. So he came up through the crypt. Obviously he made his way into the Chinkana Grande, walk the mile through the tunnel and is popping up through the crypt. They pull him out and they start trying to help him recover, giving him water and food. And they're asking him, how did you get down there? And he told them the story. But he didn't just come out empty handed. He had something in his hand. When they pulled him out of the crypt, he had a, he had a, what do you call the corn stalk, the top, the. An ear of corn. He had an ear of corn in his hand, cast in solid gold.
- [195:13]
B
Wow.
- [195:14]
A
Wow. And he told them that he had. That there was a great treasure under Sacsayhuaman, that there was a great treasure hidden under there and that this was just one piece that he grabbed and held onto as he made his way through the labyrinth. His companion had died in the labyrinth. He emerged with a golden heir of corn from the. That was once part of that garden that I told you about at the Cordiconcha, that life size garden with everything was cast in Pure gold and silver. And he gave the corn to the priests, and then he died. He'd gone mad, like he lost his mind down there. And he was probably too dehydrated and starved. He died. They took the corn, they recast it and made this Catholic relic, the crown of the Virgin and the child. So we know that there's artifacts, or at least were artifacts, under the megalithic wall of Sacsayhuaman.
- [196:21]
B
Wow.
- [196:21]
A
So we, you know, that was a long story, but I think it's pretty entertaining because this. This is part of the history of Peru. Right. And we detected the tunnel. Anselm detected the tunnel. It's there. He saw it with his own eyes. We confirm that that tunnel exists, and I believe that Anselm P. Rambla is destined to open that thing up. You get down in there, man.
- [196:46]
B
I can't wait to hear about this.
- [196:48]
A
Yeah. And it's going to be one of the most remarkable archaeological discoveries in the history of Peru. Wow. And again, I want to reiterate, I believe that the identity of the megalith builders, that there are clues, indications of who they were in the galleries beneath Sacsayhuaman, because Sacsaywaman was strategically placed where it is because there's a complex beneath it. And this is often the case with megaliths. This is often the case. There's something below. It's not just what you see on the surface. There's something below. And oftentimes I think that's where the real interesting and important artifacts reside, beneath these edifices.
- [197:29]
B
That is fascinating. And congratulations on being a part of that.
- [197:33]
A
I'm just going along for the ride.
- [197:35]
B
That's going to be awesome.
- [197:36]
A
Yeah. And we filmed a lot of that. Obviously we didn't get into the tunnel, but it's there.
- [197:44]
B
But you will.
- [197:45]
A
It's there. And you know what I just told you? Nobody knows. Nobody knows that.
- [197:50]
B
Wow.
- [197:51]
A
That is fascinating. That is something that, you know, most people are going to learn for the first time here on your show, because nobody knows. I mean, I. I've, you know, I have my members, community and stuff where I talk about this stuff, but. But it's. It's never gotten this kind of exposure, man. And I think it will be, you know, as I keep saying, the greatest discovery in Peru since Machu Pic. Picchu.
- [198:12]
B
That's incredible. I can't wait to hear about that. Is that gonna happen soon?
- [198:17]
A
Do you think it should? Yeah, I don't want to get into all the details because Anselm never really gave me permission to disclose the Fact that he's elaborating this project right now. But, yes, the project is officially. The preliminary stages of that project are officially underway. And this is Anselm's life work. Life's work. This is his. The greatest objective of his life is to get into that tunnel.
- [198:47]
B
Wow.
- [198:48]
A
And he wants to bring me with him, so. And, you know, he and I have done a lot together, and it would be an honor to be part of that.
- [198:57]
B
Well, I can't wait to hear about it.
- [198:59]
A
Yeah. I can only imagine what's under there.
- [199:02]
B
Me too.
- [199:02]
A
So to reiterate. No exciting. The Inca did not build the walls of Sacsayhuaman. Anson Pirambla has proof that they did not build the walls of Sacsayhuaman. Those walls were there. The Inca discovered them. And I believe the same can be said of Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu. I've been there, like, five times. Machu Picchu is magnificent. You know, when I lived in Peru, never wanted to go because I don't like touristy areas. I stay away from those. My God, Machu Picchu is breathtaking. It's definitely worth it. It is. Have you been there? No, I have. It is absolutely.
- [199:35]
B
I haven't been there.
- [199:36]
A
Breathtaking. And the foundations of Machu Picchu are megalithic, built in the Cyclopean style. And I believe that the Inca, you know, the Inca styled themselves as the sons and daughters of the sun. Right. They were the inheritors of the gods. They were the progeny of the gods. And what belonged to the gods belonged to them. And so I believe that when the Inca came to Cuzco and they saw the remnants, these megalithic remnants of this once mighty civilization that I think was pre flood and was destroyed in the cataclysm, they said the gods lived here. So this is our heritage. We're going to rebuild. We're going to rebuild on the foundations of the habitation of the gods. In fact, Machu Picchu, the Quechua name for Machu Picchu, is not Machu Picchu, it's Ijampu. What does Ejampu mean? The abode of the gods, the habitation of the gods. So I think that that name conveys exactly what the Inca thought when they arrived. Look at these magnificent megalithic constructions. Because in Machu Picchu, there's some really amazing megaliths. And they thought, surely the gods lived here, Right? Wait a minute. We are the progeny of the gods. This is our heritage. And then they rebuild.
- [200:59]
B
Wow.
- [201:00]
A
And I think, you know, that's the way it is in a lot of places around the Earth, we always rebuild on the foundations of our antecedents. You know, this takes us all the way back to the beginning of our conversation about the antediluvian world and the cataclysm and all of that, but. So we completed the circle.
- [201:22]
B
Perfect. Well, Tim, I can't wait to hear about this. So let's keep in touch. And I just want to thank you for a fascinating conversation on all the different topics and rabbit holes that went down. And I hope to see you back here.
