Judging from the architectures and designs of the Tiwanaku Empire versus the performance of your work, they are more sophisticated and technologically advanced than we presume. Transporting a large stone takes a lot of toll and time. Imagine transporting thousands of large stones to the top of a mountain. If the Tiwanaku Empire did it with ease and more precision using ancient tools, then more kudos to them.

Really fun. A couple young men having the time of there life. Had a great time watching this. Hanging out at the bar. I don't think this is how things where done back then but it was a fun trip for the whole community.

I just listened to The Ancients podcast. Very good interview.

One of the most brilliant journeys I have ever witnessed! Blessings to all! This video should be shown in every school world wide! Teach your children well!

Wonderfully done!

OH MY LORD !!! I’m loving this......still halfway. I just want to say, how come this doesn’t have millions of views.

I'll never get over the name 😂😂😂 lake titicaca

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

what an amazing project and proving that it could well have been the way large stones were moved about.,...by sheer will and determination and everyone cooperating...

I was given the impression that the boat building project was restricted to the techniques and materials available to the indigenous people of the time of the construction of the massive walls and monuments that we see today at Lake Titicaca. But it appeared that the sail used on the reed boat was made of modern conventional material. I would have thought that the indigenous people might have constructed their sails (if indeed they used sails) out of the same reeds as the boat was constructed with.

Kon-Tiki was a sailing raft, which was built in Peru and sailed from Callao in 1947 to Polynesia under the leadership of the Norwegian 🇳🇴 *THOR HEYERDAHL.* _The voyage was carried out to confirm Thor Heyerdahl's theories about the migrations of people in the Pacific Ocean._ _Kon-Tiki was built from nine logs of balsa wood, based on twelve selected one-ton tree trunks cut down in neighboring Ecuador. No nails or wire were used, only hemp rope. Bamboo tubes, reeds, banana leaves and some pine planks made up other building materials._ _The crew consisted of six people: five Norwegians 🇳🇴 Thor Heyerdahl, Erik Hesselberg, Knut Haugland, Thorstein Raaby, Herman Watzinger, and the Swede 🇸🇪 Bengt Danielsson._ _In an other project, Thor Heyerdahl built Ra I, in 1969, in an attempt to cross the Atlantic. It is a "reed boat", built of papyrus according to the ancient Egyptian model._

The most magical part of your great accomplishment is from @45:00 until the end. Democracy explained and showed. Thank you 🙏 Is there a follow up video of the plaza ?

thanks for the vid

You guys got stuck on trying to replicate it exactly... You could have used a slightly smaller stone and built a slightly smaller one - but once I saw the ending i was glad to see you did the bigger one 👍😁 Show them the way and allow the people to create their own - - - Awesome ending

I think this is commendable effort, but i saw more and more modern materials appearing on that boat..ropes, sails and so on. The amount of wood used here could have built a boat also. Some of the stones at Tiwanaku are estimated to be 20-30 tons...how were they moved ?. I dunno, this does not convince me one bit....peace.

I really wouldn't sweat the getting towed. This build had way more constraints with time than they would have had. they wouldn't have set sail without everything needed, but you guys did due to outside (and modern) pressures. would love to see something similar with a 100 ton stone from egypt

Theres a Stonehenge type structure in lake Michigan!!

America’s Stonehenge is in New Hampshire, not South America. It’s also known as Mystery Hill in Windham, New Hampshire.

Great video, but three months to move one rock I don’t think is how it was done, the thing is back in those times they were experts in what they did and new how to do the impossible of the way we see it today .. things change right along with the times and a lot is lost along the way

I want to see the whole process, not fragments. Key moments of loading and unloading techniques are not visible.

To be frank and honest the first thing for making the boat idea credible is to move and transport the largest monolithic stone at Puma Punku not a comparatively small one. If the Inca could do it so should the people who want to make a theory of this kind gain credibility. After all something like

Mind games. Someone with a sick humor, and plenty of money

Sure u move the smallest stone in tiwanaku. How u build the city? How do you cut stones so precisely a quarter can't fit there

Just one theory out of many possibilities Still these reed boats have been used for thousands of years

I really thought this was gonna be about the place in New Hampshire lol, pretty interesting regardless

Always nice to be around real natives that speak Spanish even though I'm probably more Spaniard/European than Native American i can feel the loving energy more there than around English speaker's that are always worried about their safety makes me wonder which culture is more traumatized, dangerous, civilized, loving and accepting towards others regardless of your native tongue or appearance

34:24 by this time EVERYONE is shoving coke leaves into their pie holes. In abundance The Statue looks like the ones on Easter Island 🗿

Amazing adventure documentary and the mixing of culture, language, history and spiritual aspects is mind blowing. Wonderful story of of people gathering to use their physicality and intellect. Congratulations to all the people involved.

well first off... Individual ropes. triple plied and or three per binding. one snaps.... it does does not affect the integrity of the boat and is faster at mending. I thought you guys had months to figure this out.... yet... yet applause for your tenacity and ability to ... "get er dun". A great end letting them keep the stone AND boat for a new center for the community. well done!

Could the reeds be brought over--loose--by the raft boat, then the stone rolled into the reeds...rolled down the hill, and floated behind the raft boat ?

How did that cut the andasite,?

A lot of work just too roll a stone down a hill and move over a lake, I want too see you carve the stone from the rock face, transport, then haul that up a hill, and then carve it into the shape with what????

Where did they get the rope from.

Maybe the stones come across the lake. Look behind you , low and behold mountain 🏔️.

The real challenge is to cut it PERFECT angles .

Well , they floated a big stone across a lake and it took 3 months. Well , ...

It takes one man and a chainsaw to cut down a whole forest

So if someone smashes them to bits...their black magic stones will not manifest the wishes of the Evil Ones!

The Uru of the Urubamba region and the people of Ur had the same reed boat. Hmmm

I want to see how they cut and shaped the stones

Giants built them, we are not the only sophisticated beings who walk on the face of the Earth

La balsa Qala Yampu construido por mi familia construcctores de balsas de totora lago Titikaka Bolivia...

All well and good but are you going to explain just how the Bronze Age people actually worked and finished the andesite stone with copper chisels and rock hammers?

TITLE is MISLEADING as it's INCORRECT. Titicaca is NOT America's Stonehenge.

Where is this located?

And those are modern ropes and a modern sail.

I’m pretty sure they had pulleys back then.

*THEY PUT THE WRONG TITLE ON THIS VIDEO.*

THIS is NOT America's Stonehenge ... Who said the site WAS built 2,000 years ago? It could have been built 4,000 to 10,000 years ago ... that long ago there could have been trees. These Archeologists make too many assumptions.

Aztec vs Inca ....whio wins?

the stones were levetated dont understand why people cant understand this when granite has crystal in it mineral that we use today.

Did anyone get hurt in this project? Since yall are working with no pipe. How many hours did this project took

the stones will SLIDE ON THE ICE OF A FROZEN LAKE in the WINTER

3 months to move one rock..oh ya..sure thats how they did it...NOT!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiwanaku

I still stand on my faith for this. GOD MADE CHILDREN AND FORMED RHAT MORALITY THAT YOU USE TO FIFHR FOR ABORTION. JUSTICE IS IN YOUR HEART BECAUSE GOD PUT IT THERE

The thing that gets me the most about the researchers producing the documentary (although understandable given the stark difference in cultures) is the supremely arrogant mindset that the story proffered by the Aymara shouldn’t at least be _considered_ as a possibility. While realizing that academic archaeology doesn’t allow for the existence of giants and that to publicly give that idea credence would invite ridicule if not more serious professional repercussions, considering the Aymara have lived on Lake Titicaca for multiple millennia exactly who are these know-it-alls from the North to say indigenous people either don’t know their own history or are lying when giant skeletons have been found all over both of the Americas?? If this doesn’t anger or at least frustrate those watching this documentary, you probably don’t know about the downright criminal and fraudulent history modification by the Smithsonian and those who would gaslight us forever if we didn’t insist on chasing down the truth despite even the reported wholesale DUMPING of full barge-loads of giant skeletons in the Atlantic Ocean to hide the evidence for whatever reason.

The title is for a different show.

Coca one hell of a drug

I've always thought about whom could have created such a structure. Giànts. Preflood giants that are mentioned in the Bible. "There were giants in those days men of fame, men of renown ( posiden, atlas, etc.) You know it was also fortold that they (watchers) were going to witness there offsprings destroy each other. And all the structures were found in ruins. Interesting subject.

Wa?

It was not built in this way, it doesn't add up

Reminds me of the Trojan Horse Horse. Why couldn't a resin be fabricated?

That was NOT a 9 ton rock...I can promise you that!

No way can a 9 ton stone be transported on a reed grass boat. What are these archaeologists thinking?

You really don't know what tec existed then.

I think they needed a giant Much easier !!!

mysterie solved. the ancients just gave the big stones alcohol and sigarets :x haha wauw

America ? / well South America anyhow and good doc

I only saw him wanting to prove the Aboriginal beliefs as wrong. 🙄 It's highly possible giants put them there. Stories of giants from all four corners of the world.

¿Gigantes? Mis guevos.

So they basically destroyed the land by moving all those huge rocks & dumped them in the water. Nice going.

the answer to the riddle is, Robert C. Christian = Roman Catholic Church, which in prophecy its the beast in chapter 13 of the book of revelation. The beast that rises from the sea. The beast that rises from the earth is America. Jesus has given me the wisdom to understand. I cannot do anything unless my father in heaven allows me.

Nah: has to be space aliens.

The answer is in your bible ...

The Giants build them sometime before Noah's Flood, like so many other things around the world.

Less privileged whining.

oh, look! some white men have saved the indigenous culture.

look on the bright side, you were laying down in a bed with a hot chick even tho you were all sick. that itself is a nice achievement

You moved a pebble and claimed that that means you can move the mountain. To me, you are a bad joke.

The Giants did it. Genesis 6. Fallen Angels mating with human women gave birth to Giants!

An. “archeologist”, maybe. But a very brainwashed, naive, and blind one!! This is sad; wasted work, time, and money.
