This is the reason why this chanel beats all the rest..... Good long content and not 5 to 8 minute teasers ❤️👍

you're quickly becoming a major pillar of this deep history community. love the videos and your insights.

45:37 when you point the camera down, water is still flowing through the stones. Thousands of years old, and the plumbing is still functional. Amazing

I did the Trek in 2006. Our group visited a newly discovered Village on the way. But it meant we were covered in Mud and dirt getting there. On the 3rd day entering Machu Picchu, we weren’t very clean but Elated. Seeing tourists arrive from the bus, super clean, I wasn’t jealous. I’m sooo glad I did it the hard way, taking in the paths and routes of the ancient way,

Ben, another brilliant video, you produce the best history documentaries I have ever seen (I have watched A LOT over the last 5/6 years) in terms of production, content and most importantly how engaging they presentation is, don't change and keep doing what you do! You are brilliant mate, you should have way more subscribers and I really hope you get the credit, recognition and traction you need to do this full time! You obviously have respect in the community as well judging by the people you have interviewed on your channel so far (Hope there are more to come aswell) so again keep doing what you're doing and please keep up the amazing work!

It's gotten to the point where I just like these vids even before I've watched it. Content is always A*

Excellent historical perspective, Ben. Thanks for the information about the Y-chromosome bottleneck at 40:30 and the link to the video. The effect of the Younger Dryas on the human population has not received the attention that it deserves, but our chromosomes have not forgotten.

I can not help but laugh , I am enjoying the guides Story and watching the background taking in the sights and at 12 mins in like a Peruvian Legend Brien Foerster arises out of no where. The man is like Beetlejuice you just have to say Machu Picchu 3 times and he appears.

Another great video brother. You're definitely my new favorite channel on this subject. Keep up the good work man. We all really appreciate it especially at a time like this when I'm layed off from both my jobs and stuck in the house do to this Corona virus mess..thanks again..👍👍👍👍

Don’t forget, these people had music - also. Drums, flutes, string instruments and dances...beautiful!

I'll say it again - my new favorite channel. Binging the hell out of it. Your content is spectacular, and your attitude rocks!

I can't thank you enough for this wonderful virtual tour. Breathtaking landscapes and impressive stone work.

Man, you are just an awesome investigator. This is one of the best channels of youtube in my opinion. Thanks for always giving us a thorough investigation of these ancient misteries. There is so much we dont know about our ancient past, so much to discover!

I spent 14 months in Peru. Visiting many of the megalithic sites as well as the Nazca lines and other "lines" that are in Peru that I have never seen mentioned. My overwhelming feeling is that there was a much more advanced population who created the megalithic sites. I also have the distinct impression that most of the ruins were in place when the Younger Dryas happened. I recently read that there are craters in South America that can be attributed to the Younger Dryas. It was with great sadness that I left Peru. wonderful people, magical place.

I absolutely love the research you are doing! Tour vids are crisp and clear, the narration, i can tell is so well thought out! Iv watched every single one of them lol. And again and again. THANK YOU!

You deserve your own tv show. Not because you need it but you would be fully funded to do more amazing work. Great job👍

Across all youtube this is the most solid foundation I can get in preparation of visit the site on my own. Thank you for your work!

You never disappoint. Absolutely fascinating. Ive been wondering about things like this since I was young. Always thought our history is so much more amazing and unimaginable than what weve been led to think. Can't wait to learn more. Your work is much appreciated. Cheers!

I cannot tell you, how much, I enjoyed this!.... absolutely incredible!.... beautifully done, in every way. ... those mountain paths are something! I almost feel as if I’ve really seen it. Utmost Thanks.

Wow, great work as usual. I don't think most people realize the sheer amount of work that's behind the production of such a quality documentary. Knowing the subject I can honestly say you are one of the best content creators of the next generation of serious independent researchers. I wish you all the best to create a well deserved career out of this.

Foersters chin is of megalithic construction

Can only imagine what all of these amazing sites used to look like during their early years. Fascinating!

Absolutely brilliant filming and narration. Bravo UX !!!

As a smoker I found I suffered far less from the altitude than all my friends. I literally ran the whole way up and was the first person to get up there that morning, before the turnstiles were even open. I ran in and got enjoy a full half hour on my own with no one in sight. Highly recommend any visitors put the effort in to running up there to be the first in. Getting the whole place to yourself for any period of time is magical!

Blown away that such a balanced, well studied video popped up in my feed. Major props to you for the expanse of your study and absolute fairness in giving people credit where it's due. Just. Wow. Thank you. And subbed. 🙋🔭🌌 Paz y luz

Pardon an old woman's cynicism but I reckon an examination of the contents of the Vatican library would yield a great deal of information on the origins of this stunningly beautiful site!

Thanks, just discovered your channel.via Ancient Architects' channel and fortunate I have. Thanks again.

Top video, I'm glad I found you. Shared

Man I love your camera work! You show these incredible sites more clearly than others. It is so obvious that the Incas could not possibly have built it all. Plus you reference the work of older explorers who were less burdened by bias and not pushing a certain narrative. Keep up the good work.

Well done . Most informative and updated . I appreciate the Bingham quotes , in context .

Such an interesting video, thank you. Looking forward to the next part too.

Another great video. Thanks for taking us along with you.

I had a really hard time following the dialogue with all the stunning scenery and views. I had to watch, constantly rewinding to catch back up in dialogue. Excellent position, AWESOME job in bringing this to everyone. Love it, always waiting for the next one! Cheers from Canada!

You killed it mate, the way you structured the video and explained the information was in a way that even a novice should be able to comprehend!

Amazing work on this video! Loved every second.

Fantastic video and commentary!! I appreciate it much

It never gets old looking at this place. Most people watching this video believe that the old megalithic structures were built much longer ago. Megalithic structures were built around the globe like we see here. Thank you for the videos

I'm giving this one a preemptive like. Can't wait to watch this one later!

Loved this video, facinating well researched and in depth detail 😁

Obvious hard work, dedication and passion. Thanks for these, you get me thinking and even sometimes arguing with you. Brilliant

That ancient origin story quoted by Hiram Bingham would be an interesting 'unpack' discussion of possible story lines or postulates

It is becoming increasingly apparent that our globe-spanning civilization is but the latest chapter in a story going back far longer than we know. Would that we could read it from the beginning, eh? But I suppose that will never be possible. That story seems to have been written on an Etch-a-Scetch tablet. One that some past event shook to such an extent that almost all the story is gone. Only the megalithic bare bones remain. Even so whatever it was we humans built, it must have been utterly amazing in its fashion. To be able to work such wonders in gigantic stone (for instance), betray a civilization with a depth of knowledge that not only rivals all we know today, but also was knowledgeable in a fashion about things which we can't even dream because our ways blind us to other potentialities. Ours is a different kind of civilization. Nestled as we are within it we cannot see the way in which the past informed and shaped itself. But they were human. So we can learn from what we see; recognize its humanity and in so doing perhaps better inform our own future. We need to do this. It is a worthy task. Why? Because something happened to bring them all down. And if it has happened before, it can happen again. And the next time we may not be so lucky. So let's take what we know, try as best we can to understand what we've lost, and move outward in the Universe. Let's try to arrange to live and love, create, destroy and build as humans are wont to do for a span of time at least as long as the dinosaurs. Let's avoid another "reset." We do that, and then we can truly call ourselves great. John~ American Net'Zen

Have to say this video was excellent in both execution and content. Simply captivating. Great job Ben!

thankyou so much for your energy Ben...you have created a fantastic virtual tour..along with your brilliant historical research....

3:55 "Selfie sticks are a plague" You're funny. Thanks for all your precious time!!!

With each video, your talents as a documentary maker, grows even better. Seriously, I wish History channel would get in touch with you and work with you to create a series! Maybe even with Randall Carlson. Between the two of you, my way of looking at our world and its history has expanded so much. Thank you, Ben!! Stay healthy during this pandemic!!! Our world needs people like yourself, helping to open minds and encourage them to not accept being indoctrinated by the status quo.

Beautiful country, nicely photographed. I can't wait for part 2.

You are doing a great job Ben! And thank you for all of the hard work you are doing!!!! ❤

I always get deeply emerged in your videos. The info, the theories and the overall atmosphere. Fuck me this is so great❤️

The huge stones, shaped to fit together without mortar, fascinates me. That stonework is practically identical to the stonework on other ancient sites around the world…There is so much we don’t know about pre-younger dryas civilization. That is, civilization before (supposedly) civilization began. We are at the verge of one of the greatest revelation of human history.

I've watched a lot of videos on Machu Picchu but yours is, as usual, the best!

Fascinating presentation Ben! I can't wait for Part 2.

As always, your content is first rate. I like your open minded approach to all the topics you cover. Keep up the good work.

Ben, your videos are impeccably presented and reflect a sincere quest for the Truth. Thank you for sharing your passion to explore and understand this megalithic wonders. We pray that you are safe in your travels and successful in your quest. Thank you again for bringing us along on the adventure.

Absolutely fascinating. Comprehensive and well put together. I absolutely love this! Thanks

Just catching up seeing as part 2 is now out!, one word... fantastic!

Brian Forrester of 'hidden inca tours' makes a mysterious appearance right on the 12:00 min mark! thanks for sharing info about this magical place!

Imagine there was a grand palace resting on those massive stones and they were just the basement foundation.

One of your best videos yet, a great job

Another great video and commentary Ben. Thank you!

Wow, incredible production value! How do you not have more subs? Incredibly professional

28:40 Again those bumps consistent with Egypt and Asia.

Recently discovered this channel and I love the education I am getting from this Ben. Keep up the good work.

Good job Ben, always pleasure to watch your videos. 👍 BTW the fact that you often use the quotes from the original books, pictures, maps, etc are very helpful.

Excellent content. I ask myself why would they go to so much trouble to move stones of such proportion to the top of an opposite mountain. The concept is mind blowing.

Once again, excellent work. I sure wish there was way to determine who really built these megalithic structures and how. The mind wonders in crazy circles thinking of the possibilities.

Hey Ben! Love your work. Really appreciate your attention to detail, honesty, and ability to weave the counter-narrative without trying to sound like all the facts are known. What we need is simply to admit how little we know! and then rigorously observe the evidence with open hearts & minds. Which it feels like you do. Appreciate you brother. Keep doing your thing!

Another beautiful video Ben!! You always show things I’ve never seen before.

In watching this video and from my own observations 25 years ago, the question arises who discovered,or even rediscovered what. To be clear, we are talking about the western world finding or being led to something that the locals already knew of, and so discovery in this sense is a narrow window of interest from the western worldthat has grown into a massive tourist trap today. 25 years ago, the Inca trail was affectionately known as the toilet paper trail, and as the local water sources became more and more poluted by interested westerners who stopped at trail camps overnight to eat meals washed in the local waters, so more and more toilet paper became dotted elsewhere all around the mountainsides. To be honest, I loved the place even in the rather shitty conditions described by the trail leading to it, but to talk of discovery is perhaps to recognise how people of the western world have acted, can't really say behaved, when visiting this sacred and already known of site. The one thing that the western world is good at is importing a lot of crap into parts of the world that are not able to deal with it, and it is this anality of intention when pursuing a spiritual purpose that I discovered in myself and in all of those who had arrived at Machu Pitchu seeking to broaden their own spiritual horizons after a lifetime of socially instilled self and other ignorance all of those years ago. The world is wonderful, and the western world always covers its wonders in crap with every discovery that its citizens make. Who can recall the Celestine Prophecy, with its search for enlightenment in Peru, and of course at Machu Pichu, and which of those spiritual seekers left their crap behind, scattered around for others to deal with. Toilet paper hoards, and hoarders of course, you can flush and walk away at home, or try to ignore what you are leaving behind when visiting or plundering amazing parts of the world, but real enlightenment comes when you look down and see what you are bringing to the feast of life, and then learn to clear up your mess and relate to the earth and eveyone on it, inluding yoursaelf, in different and humane way.

Simply difficult to believe a civilisation without written language can have amazingly higher technology in almost impossible architecture.

Great video Ben, and that hike on the mountain trail was incredible too! Excellent content and camera work as usual!

Fabulous camera work. Much appreciated.

If you get the chance, do the official Inca Trail to get to Machu Picchu. It's a 42km hike through the mountains along the same route and in some places even the same staircase the Incans used. Along the way there are a few settlements and barracks that you get to explore. Obviously not as impressive as Machu Picchu, but way fewer people around, and it's set in these misty mountains, it's a lot of uphill and downhill, carrying your backpack and sleeping bag and mat. Porters carry the rest of the camping essentials and food, and actually run ahead of you to prepare for lunch or set up a campsite.

Yep. Worth a bit of that stimmo money. Loved it Ben. Hanging out for chapter two! Has your Egyptian stone mason mate been to see it? Would get a kick out of hearing his reaction to Machu Picchu.

Awesome work! Yes, yours and that of he pre-inca denizens. You always bring a new light onto it. Cheers!

I am really grateful for your videos on this subject, which stand out as being very grounded in reality compared to most. Well done, and thank you!

I wonder if the large stones were floated across at a time when the world was mostly flooded with only the higher peaks above the water?

You nailed this video brother. Awesome work, thank you.

Awesome videos. I am in awe of the detail you go into, and the video is breathtaking. Thank you for getting this information to the world.

So hard to comprehend how they moved and shaped the stone so perfectly with multiple facets.

It's 2:30 in the morning, what are you trying to do to me? 🤘🤘🤘 You rock, brother!

Another superb video. Thanks, Ben!

Extra good Ben, thanks for all your enthusiasm and strength of interest .

Megalitchic structures all over the world appear to be from times we basically have no record of. In the case that those structures really are from 10.000+ BC, there also is the possibility that prehistoric animals where used in order to transport those stones. With the end of the "Ice Age" there seems to be decline in size of construction elements, which could be explained by the fact, that, from then on,only horses and oxes could be used to fulfill such tasks.

So you met with Brien Forester there? Very nice!

As usual, excellent video Ben. Very detailed information of Macchu Picchu and I (we) love that you found that interesting story from Hiram Bingham on the megalithic builders. Well done!

Man your works are awesome and thought provoking. Keep researching, you’ll prove many things for sure

Great work as usual Ben. I just wish mainstream would give these ancient cultures the respect of believing their origin stories. It quit ridiculous to me that the stories told by these cultures make far more sense than anything the mainstream has hypothesized. Stay safe

Bravo Ben ... This is a fantastic account I still will always wonder who constructed the earlier more megalithic work that's what intregued me about the site so very much also the large nubs that can be found at the site also ... Well done mate this is probably my favourite account of the site ... Your commenters are correct you are becoming quickly one of the best in the business I'm so glad to have you as my friend ... All the very best for you at this tough time take care .Phil. one thing the hitching post of the sun do you think that could be star alignment maybe ? It's so strange and I agree the Inca seemed to build around it to preserve it more than anything just wondered your thoughts ?

Above excellent again Ben 👍🏻. The majesty of all these places shines through in your presentations which is very hard to capture, yet in watching Im transported back a couple of decades and once more find myself in awe. Even at that time it was clear to me the narrative around these places was woefully inadequate. Your footage and verbal guidance are sheer brilliance. You are helping peel back the mysteries here and gathering insights which illuminate our deep past, and we are all the better for it. Thanks again.

I really enjoyed that. Thanks, very well made, good format style.

29:05 and 29:17 No one can look at those nubs and say they are lifting bosses, there is obviously a much different reason for the nubs being there. 30:57 the nub on the side of the hitching post monolith, that is not for lifting either. Great footage and narration Ben, as always. The ancient megalithic builders of Peru used nubs in their architecture, which is proven to be a global phenomena. The megalithic pyramid builders used nubs in their architecture. What I find unique about the Egyptian and Peruvian examples is the stark, unadorned structures. Nubbed architecture in the Mediterranean region, Asia Minor and India by contrast have cultural embellishments on them; artistic motifs. So what could that mean about the Peruvian and Egyptian nubbed architecture? Could they be the first, and then nubbed architecture spread to Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, India, etc? Perhaps Yangshan Quarry in China also, I think it is the stark, plain and weird megalithic nubbed architecture that is the oldest.

Great to see you back at Machu Picchu. My brain has been locked onto the stone working of the megalithic polygonal constructions. Remember a little girl trapped in a well in the US. Jessica McClure is her name. Anyway, the final events in her rescue involved a water-pressure system that literally dissolved the stone in a seriously controlled way. That would explain many of the signs we see on these megalithic polygonal constructions. This machine cut out more stone in half an hour than professional minors could get done with jack-hammer and power tools over 3 days! That has to be the type of technologies used by the First World Culture. One of these days we will wake-up to the reality that the people of Earth were not who and what mainstream education tells us they were. Randal Carlson, Graham Hancock, Robert Schoch, Brian Forester, Anthony West, etc... ad nauseam. The better minds of our time tell us that we are not aware of who and what the people of Earth were. Yet, the Younger Dryas epoch is never mentioned in academia. Well, not well-mannered academia anyway.

Best video yet! Well done!

Well thought out and presented. Cheers!

What do you think about the theory that the large stone blocks where made of concrete? If the concrete was put in large bags, that would answer several questions. For ex. The small nubs in the low front (wood support) The plank marks (wood support) Transportation The perfection (easy to form depending on the mix) The large size (now only limited by bag size) How they "rest" together Thicker at the bottom (gravity) Thanks for your great videos! 😊

Have they ever "unearthed" a solidly sunken monolith to take C14 samples from underneath it?(Ostensibly trapped there after the monolith was erected...)

Love this channel, glad I found it, thank you... 👍😁✌

This is phenomenal work and my now go to Machu Picchu video. Good work
