Narrator: On the western side of south america

Is a land of exotic jungles, vast plains,

And astounding archaeological sites.

Giorgio a. Tsoukalos: All throughout that region of the world,

We have some of the most incredible

Architectural structures on planet earth.

Narrator: But could new discoveries reveal

That the true history of peru

Is far more incredible than we ever imagined?

Hugh newman: The dating of caral has really put into question

The origins of civilization and the planet.

Tsoukalos: This excavation has put the entire region

Into a new light.

Narrator: Ancient astronaut theorist

Giorgio tsoukalos is joined by author david childress

And investigative mythologist william henry

To examine evidence suggesting that peru was home

To an advanced civilization thousands of years ago...

David childress: These discoveries are changing the face

Of south american archaeology.

Narrator: And was influenced by beings from another world.

The message is consistent throughout all these discoveries

That extraterrestrials were helping to advance us.

I mean, this is about as exciting as it gets.

Narrator: There is a doorway in the universe.

Beyond it is the promise of truth.

It demands we question everything

We have ever been taught.

The evidence is all around us.

The future is right before our eyes.

We are not alone.

We have never been alone.

Peru is actually one of my favorite

Places to visit on the planet,

And we've all been to peru.

This is what's so great about that whole region

Because it seems as if this whole area

Continues to give us new pieces of information.

Henry: And we're just beginning to uncover what's actually there.

It's kind of like a wild frontier down there.

I mean, worlds meet down there, don't they?

It's really, uh, just

The most mysterious place, and it's a very large country

That goes from deserts along the coast

Up into the mountains,

Down into the jungles... It has literally

- Every climate in the world. - Tsoukalos: Mm-hmm.

And it's also a treasure trove

For the ancient astronaut theory

- Henry: Yeah. - Because there are many megalithic sites

And especially in the legends

- And the mythologies of that place. - Yep.

You have stories of giants and of, uh, gods,

The children of the sun.

Narrator: The country of peru in western south america

Is known for its many ancient archaeological wonders

From the massive stone walls of cusco

To the magnificent terraces at ollantaytambo,

To the majestic mountain citadel of machu picchu.

These incredible sites have long been connected

To a great civilization that emerged in the 13th century ad

Known as the inca.

The inca pretty much

Not just dominated the landscape,

They changed the landscape.

They had these major massive cities

From one end of the andes to the other end of the andes.

And in between each of these cities,

They had this incredible road network.

We have to think about the inca

As part of this aggressive trend

Of ideas and of culture and tradition.

Narrator: In 1526, spanish conquistadors,

Led by francisco pizarro, arrived in peru,

And over the course of the following four decades,

Conquered the inca empire.

While the inca only flourished

For a little more than two centuries,

Mainstream archaeologists remain astonished

By their engineering and construction achievements.

But a mounting body of evidence suggests

Many of peru's astounding structures may, in fact,

Have been built by a much earlier civilization.

The incas were pretty recent, really,

-To the spanish. They're not the oldest, -henry: Right.

- Henry: Right. - Childress: They had only existed

- About 200 years before the spanish arrived. - Right. Yeah.

And allegedly, during that period,

They built all these giant megaliths around cusco,

Sacsayhuamán, even machu picchu and ollantaytambo,

And they would have just completed them

- Wait... - Like, a hundred years before the spanish.

Wait a second, wait a second. But here's the deal.

That is mainstream archaeology's opinion.

When you ask the local,

Including the local archaeologists

And tour guides, yes,

They will tell tour groups that yes, this is all inca,

But when you have deep conversations with them,

They all agree that many of those structures

Are pre-inca.

And this is where the opinions diverge.

- Henry: Right. - Who were the pre-inca?

Narrator: In April 2019,

David childress traveled to peru

With author hugh newman to meet

With jorge luis delgado,

A local expert on and a descendant of the inca.

Jorge believes that many of peru's most incredible

Ancient structures do, in fact, predate the inca.

Childress: All right. Here we are.

Narrator: On this day, jorge took david and hugh

To one of peru's most mysterious sites:

A location outside of cusco

Known only as the x-zone.

Overlooking the sprawling stone fortress of sacsayhuamán,

The x-zone is an impressive collection of megalithic ruins,

Rock-cut monuments and a maze of underground tunnels.

- Henry: It's incredible. - Childress: What kind of technology

Does it take to cut these so perfectly and straight

And then fit them in where you can't fit

A piece of paper or a razor blade in here.

Henry: It seems like they're softening the stones somehow,

And they're kind of shaping it and then putting it back in.

Like some magical technology.

Narrator: Naylamp was the deity

Worshipped by the sican people who settled in northern peru

Around 750 ad, centuries before the inca.

Their oral traditions

Describe naylamp as a strange being

With sharp birdlike features

Who, upon his death, sprouted wings

And then ascended into the sky.

Is it possible that these traditional beliefs

Are grounded in fact, as the sican people claim?

And, if so, could naylamp have been,

As ancient astronaut theorists suspect,

An extraterrestrial being?

I think that the incas found these places.

They identified them as very important, and they moved in.

They say so in one of the earliest books

Written about that region.

Diego de landa was the one who wrote it.

It says that the incas themselves

Said this was not built by us.

-We also have the local legends -henry: Yeah.

That say that there were celestial visitors.

They were not gods. They were visiting extraterrestrials.

Henry: Well, here's where now we get

Fact backing up the local knowledge,

Lore, understanding in this.

1994 archaeologist ruth shady

Is exploring north of lima, and she said,

-"that hill over there... that looks artificial to me." -tsoukalos: Mm-hmm.

So she goes and gathers some soldiers.

They do some excavating.

Lo and behold, here's this... what?

Ten-story-tall pyramid.

And that became known as the site of...

- Caral. - Right.

Narrator: First discovered in 1905,

The site of caral-supe, often referred to as simply caral,

Was initially thought to be little more than a scattering

Of insignificant and possibly modern ruins.

But while investigating the site in 1994,

Peruvian archaeologist ruth shady solís

Came to the astonishing revelation that caral

Was once a vast and highly sophisticated city.

When you visit caral, you find a huge archaeological complex.

There is a large sunken amphitheater to the south.

There's a major pyramid to the north

And then there are more minor pyramids

That surround a central area.

There are also other buildings, residential buildings,

So it's a really huge complex.

Narrator: But the most extraordinary discovery

Was still to come.

While excavating the pyramid's foundation in 1999,

Ruth shady and her team unearthed the preserved remains

Of ancient mesh bags woven from a long durable grass

Known as shicra.

Up until this time, there had been no way

To scientifically determine the age of caral

Since it is not possible to perform radiocarbon dating

On inorganic material like stone ruins.

With the discovery of the grass bags,

Archaeologists now had the organic material they needed

To determine just how old caral really was.

And what they found was nothing less than shocking.

Carbon dating of the bags

Revealed that caral predated the inca civilization

By more than 3,000 years.

Schoch: This site went back at least

To 2600 bc or earlier.

So that was putting it back 4,600 or more years,

Which made it one of the oldest sites

As far as civilization in the americas.

Newman: Caral could be the mother culture

Of the whole of south america.

The dating of caral has really put into question

The origins of civilization on the planet.

Narrator: The dating of caral to 2600 bc,

A revelation made just a little more than two decades ago,

Completely upended history's well-established timeline.

And continuing excavation has produced evidence

Suggesting the site is even older.

These discoveries at caral

Are changing the face of south american archaeology

And we don't even know what

New discoveries they're going to be making in the future.

I mean, you have a choice. If you're an archaeologist,

You're either really excited right now or really nervous

Because the chronology has been obliterated,

And now we have to ask were extraterrestrials

Helping to advance us? And caral is hinting

At that as well. Definitely.

Incredible.

Have either of you been to caral?

- No. - No. - Well, this is great

Because on our video call

Is our good friend brien foerster

-And he's just been to caral, and I can't wait to hear -awesome.

- What he has to report to us. - Absolutely. - Oh, right.

Hey, brien. Good to see you.

- Childress: Hi, brien. - Gentlemen.

Tsoukalos: It's been a long time.

Always a pleasure to visit

With my ancient aliens compatriots.

- Are you at your house in paracas? - Foerster: Yeah.

I've just come back from an incredible

Ancient site called caral

On the central coast of peru.

Caral has only been excavated

For possibly the last 20 or 30 years.

It was a huge trading center

That connected the coast of peru, the highlands of peru,

And even the amazon jungle 4,500 years ago.

Narrator: Aside from featuring the remains

Of many impressive ancient structures,

Caral appears to have been designed

Very much like a modern metropolis

With specific districts dedicated to various trades,

Along with dwellings for as many as 3,000 inhabitants.

Beardsley: At caral,

We've got this incredible urban planning.

It has indications of the use of science.

Definitely engineering, definitely mathematics

When we start looking at the planning, the structure

Of these particular sites.

It's a huge complex. They're discovering more and more of it.

So as you drive off the highway

Towards caral, there are ruins on the left side

And the right side going on for miles.

So it was a very major center.

Probably the most incredible thing is the central pyramid.

It's quite massive, and the excavations are ongoing.

Narrator: Standing some 90 feet tall,

The great pyramid of caral occupies an area of five acres

Or nearly four football fields.

A 30-foot-wide staircase rises

From a sunken circular plaza at the base of the pyramid

Passing over three terraced levels

Until it reaches the top of a platform

That features the remains of a large atrium

And some kind of structure designed for continuous burning.

But just what was its purpose?

Newman: It's quite tall, and it's thought that

The ceremonial aspect of the site was carried out

From the top of this particular pyramid.

And the chief priests, or shaman,

Could actually see over the whole domain of caral

And actually almost see to the coast on a clear day.

And so it could have been used for astronomical observations.

Narrator: Recently unearthed archaeological evidence

Suggests that, during the same period,

Approximately 4,600 years ago,

While ziggurats were being built in mesopotamia,

As well as the step pyramids in egypt,

Incredibly similar structures

Were being constructed in caral.

Was this by pure coincidence?

Ancient astronaut theorists believe the evidence suggests

They could be profoundly connected.

It's almost as if there was some kind of syzygy going on

Between egypt and the caral civilization

Of northern peru at exactly the same time.

These monuments quite clearly are meant

To connect us with otherworldly environments.

They were both constructed around 2600 bc.

I find that very intriguing indeed.

Caral is dated to about the same time

That the saqqara step pyramid was built.

Do you see a correspondence between those two sites?

It's just curious that this timeline

Keeps coming up about ancient places being 4,500 years old.

Like the pyramids in egypt

And other locations around the world.

Henry: I think that there was a pre-flood civilization,

Everything collapsed and then around this period... 3000 bc...

Then all of a sudden there's this reset in the ancient world.

Yeah, that very much seems to be the case.

Narrator: In ancient traditions around the world,

There are accounts of a lost civilization

That existed on earth that was destroyed by a great flood...

Such as the vedas texts of india,

The babylonian poem the epic of gilgamesh,

The bible's book of genesis,

And the incan myth of the unu pachakuti.

According to geologist dr. Robert schoch,

A growing body of evidence suggests

That these stories are based on historical events,

And that such a cataclysm

May actually have occurred around the end

Of the last ice age 12,000 years ago.

We now know, based on a lot of geological data,

That there were incredible

Climatic changes at the end of the last ice age.

My work has put it all together that

This was based on major solar outbursts that change conditions

On the surface of the earth dramatically.

And to make a very big story very short,

There were well-developed cultures,

Sophisticated cultures, civilization on earth

That were devastated by the events

At the end of the last ice age.

Narrator: According to dr. Schoch,

This cataclysm thrust humanity into a dark age

For thousands of years.

Until new civilizations emerged around the globe

At remarkably similar times.

Schoch: After thousands of years, civilizations reemerged

Around the same time period,

Between about 3500 bc

To 2500 bc or so.

We have that in the old world with egypt,

With mesopotamia,

In asia with the chinese cultures.

Caral is, I believe, evidence of this in the americas

Of the reemergence of civilization.

Can you tell us why, in your opinion,

It is such an important ancient site?

I think the most important thing was that

People of caral were in some way connected

To the ancient deity called viracocha,

Which we find in other cultures in peru

And other locations around the world.

- Wow. - Henry: They found the gourd buried near caral

That had the image of the staff god on it,

And they were able to date it to...

What? Like, 2300 bc? Meaning it was created

- By people who lived at caral. - Foerster: Yeah. Exactly.

It makes caral the oldest radiocarbon-tested

Ceremonial complex in the americas.

It is quite likely that the people of caral

Were in some way connected to the...

Ancient deity called viracocha, which we find in other cultures

In peru and other locations around the world.

So you're referring to the so-called staff god, right?

The guy with the two staffs.

Yeah, very much so.

So the staff god that was found at caral,

I mean, it's really the same guy viracocha,

On the gate of the sun at tiahuanco, right?

Yeah, very similar. I mean, of course,

The, uh, depictions are relatively crude,

But they seem... It seems to depict

The same kind of deity or ancestor or ancient visitors.

Narrator: While exploring a burial site near caral in 2003,

Archaeologist alvaro ruiz made a remarkable discovery.

One of the artifacts that is uncovered and recovered

In caral-supe is this gourd fragment.

And on this gourd fragment is an image of this...

What has come to be called a staff god.

So it's this little guy, and he's standing holding

What appears to be a staff in each of his hands.

Narrator: Incredibly, radiocarbon dating of the gourd fragment

Revealed that it is roughly 4,300 years old.

The artifact's extraordinary age

Suggests the deity drawn on it

Was worshipped by the people of caral.

But even more astonishing to archaeologists

Is the fact that the so-called staff god

Bears a striking similarity to a figure

Worshiped by the inca some 3,000 years later.

The staff god was a form of viracocha.

And this is exactly the same figure

That's seen again and again

In pre-columbian art,

At places like tiahuanco on the gateway of the sun,

One of the most important structures

That existed in south america.

There you have exactly the same figure.

Viracocha was the primary deity of the andes

Going back many thousands of years.

He was thought to be the founder of all the ancient sites

We see in peru and bolivia today,

Including tiahuanco, cusco,

Sacsayhuamán, machu picchu and many others.

And he formed them and built them along this alignment

Called the path of viracocha

Which stretches southeast to northwest

Across the whole country.

Beardsley: This must have been, in our estimation,

An important symbol because we see this particular symbol

Being reused and adopted

In other places for several thousand years.

So we see, basically, everything

That becomes civilization, that become the inca,

We see in caral-supe.

It's kind of strange that, uh, the motif

Has remained, which would suggest that that motif

Was incredibly important to the local populations.

Foerster: Well, that's a good point because

That, again, shows the connection between

The same kind of deity or ancestor

We see at tiahuanco or pumapunku

Or in cusco itself,

- Which is pretty incredible. - That's pretty amazing.

You know, that... I mean, that there's

Something... that something has to be said about that.

We, of course, have made the suggestion viracocha

May have been some type of a visitor from another planet

Because also, the gear that he is wearing,

For all intents and purposes,

Looks like a modern-day astronaut.

- Childress: Yeah, true. - Tsoukalos: Well, if that were true,

It would tie in to this whole

Worship of viracocha that can be found

All throughout peru and south america.

- Yeah, that very much seems to be the case. - Tsoukalos: Amazing.

Brien, thank you very much for your time. It was wonderful

To connect with you, even if it's like this,

And I cannot wait to see you again

Face-to-face in person.

That will be a pleasure. Thanks to all three of you gentlemen.

- Tsoukalos: Thank you. - Childress: Thanks, brien. - Okay. Thank you.

And, you know, what a... See, to me

The whole idea that this staff god only exists

In south or central america... No.

- No. - It... that symbolism

Or that motif exists

- Worldwide. - Childress: Worldwide.

And it's well known in egypt and sumeria,

- Ancient india. - Henry: Right.

Childress: It's interesting, too, how when you look at

The viracocha god

At the... on the gate of the sun at tiahuanco,

On either side of him

Are these birdmen, birdmen who can fly.

- Tsoukalos: Right. And what... - Childress: Coming to him.

Tsoukalos: And what better symbolism to signify flight

- Than showing people with wings? - Henry: Right.

You know, I mean, we have the same thing in ancient sumeria.

- Mm-hmm. - You know, it is quite possible

That this was symbolism to signify people

Coming from the sky.

Narrator: Curiously, examples of godlike figures

That are depicted as half man and half bird,

Much like the figure of naylamp

That was worshipped by the sican people of northern peru,

Can be found throughout the ancient world

From the anunnaki in mesopotamia

To the hindu god garuda in india,

The tengu in japan,

The birdmen of easter island,

And the kachinas revered by numerous tribes

In north america.

There is even a 44,000-year-old cave painting in indonesia

That archaeologists have determined

To be a humanlike figure with a bird's head.

We also have the local legends,

And they're very clear in saying that viracocha came

- And gave instructions, so... - Henry: Right.

- To-to create civilization. - Tsoukalos: Yes.

-To create these buildings. All these giant pyramids. -Right.

Tsoukalos: According to the legends,

The knowledge of building these things

Was given by the so-called gods from the stars.

This has been our argument all along.

That our origin of any of our ancient civilizations

Dates much further back

Into our distant past than what we're being told.

And that these civilizations all over the world

-Are more connected, but archaeologists were saying -right.

- They had no contact. - Henry: Right.

But now in south america they're proving

That's completely wrong,

And all of these cultures in south america

Into the highlands, into the jungle, all along the coast,

They're all connected, and we have all the geoglyphs

- All over south america. - Right.

And, of course, nazca is so famous for its geoglyphs,

But caral has the oldest.

Narrator: The nazca lines present one of peru's greatest mysteries...

Hundreds of massive designs carved into the desert floor,

Created on a scale to only be understood

From high above the earth.

It is estimated that the earliest of these lines,

Called geoglyphs, were made around 500 bc.

But in the year 2000, while excavating caral,

Archaeologists discovered a geoglyph

That they believe dates to the same period

As the ancient city itself,

Which would make it, by far, the oldest geoglyph

Ever found in peru.

Its shape is nearly impossible to discern

From the ground, but when viewed from the sky,

The profile of a face is clearly recognizable.

The geoglyph face is constructed of stones

Laid out to create the figure itself.

It has its mouth open.

It's looking towards one direction,

And also it has what looks like kind of wavy hair,

Although this could actually be

Blood spurting out of its head.

The caral geoglyph is the oldest known

In peru or bolivia.

It's at least 2,000 years older than nazca, maybe more.

And so it does suggest this was the forerunner

To all the nazca geoglyphs, and this maybe even influenced

The nazca civilization.

So all of this, again,

Seems to suggest a commonality.

What I might call a super complex of civilization,

So not just one civilization in isolation

But a number of related civilizations

That cover a very long period in time

And go back to a very remote period ultimately.

Yeah, you have to wonder about the geoglyph at caral

Because the geoglyphs at nazca are obviously meant to be seen

- From the air by the gods. - Right. Right.

So you would think the geoglyph at caral has the same meaning.

And I've seen, too, where viracocha

Supposedly told the nazca people to make those lines.

That's one of the legends.

I also think maybe this is a type of calling card,

And there are other geoglyphs around the world

That correspond with each other because you have these lines,

These figures, these, you know, things wanting

To communicate with the celestial realm,

And you have to wonder why because

- Coincidence no longer holds water. - Right.

Narrator: When the nazca lines were first discovered in 1927,

They were considered a unique phenomenon.

But in recent years, with the benefit of satellite imagery,

Thousands of ancient geoglyphs

Are being found not just in south america

But all over the world.

In asia, the middle east,

Africa, north america,

And even europe.

The fact of the matter is that we have geoglyphs worldwide.

And so you have to wonder why.

The idea in the ancient astronaut theory

Is fairly simple

And that is that our ancestors,

Regardless of ancient cultures,

They were visited by the same teachers.

There's another famous glyph, uh, farther south

From nazca in northern chile called the atacama giant.

- Tsoukalos: Right. - Childress: And it's actually the largest of all the geoglyphs

In south america, and he too seems

To be holding a staff, and has an animal with him.

- Yeah. He's like this, kind of. - Yeah, like that.

- Henry: Yeah. - Childress: Uh-huh. - Tsoukalos: Right.

Childress: Perhaps he's also a... A depiction of viracocha.

To me, the most important thing about all of this is that

The structures at caral correspond

- With the constellation of the pleiades. - Henry: That's right.

-And so whenever I see stuff like that, it's like, you know, -okay. That's interesting. Yeah.

All right, obviously,

Our ancestors were able to observe the stars.

Nobody's ever questioned that or debated that.

The power of observation was huge and important,

- But why pick the pleiades? - Henry: That's right.

They call it "heaven's mirror," is a term; using the expression

"as above, so below," they're trying to create

A physical connection to these places.

Narrator: The excavation of caral

Over the past two and a half decades has produced

A number of archaeological marvels.

But for ancient astronaut theorists,

One of the most significant,

In terms of possibly explaining its origins,

Is its curious and seemingly deliberate design.

Collins: What has been noticed about the layout

Of the different structures and buildings at caral,

Is that they seem to reflect the astronomical positions

Of the star cluster known as the pleiades.

And this seems to be almost beyond coincidence.

Newman: It's almost like a star mirror.

We have the pleiades in the sky, and it mirrors on earth.

It looks just like caral.

The main pyramid would be the central star alcyone,

And all the other structures in the complex

Match all the other stars in the pleiades.

So there's-there's a real kind of theory that's come forward

That they were trying to map the stars onto the earth.

Narrator: For ancient astronaut theorists,

The layout of caral is made even more significant

Due to the fact that the pleiades

Was also of central importance to the inca,

Who would emerge in peru more than 3,000 years later.

Foerster: The inca had a very strong connection with the pleiades.

At their ceremonial center called the coricancha in cusco,

The rising of the pleiades corresponded

With the planting of crops in September of each year.

Newman: There's even a real inca tradition

Of the ancestors coming from the pleiades.

So we have to question: Did they actually come from pleiades?

But it does suggest, especially along with the viracocha figure

That was found there,

That much of the inca tradition,

The technology and sophistication

May have come from the caral-supe civilization.

Narrator: Could caral really have been designed to mirror the pleiades?

Curiously, it is only the latest in a long line

Of ancient sites that have been found

To mirror the star cluster,

Such as the winterbourne stoke barrow in England,

The nuragic structures on the island of sardinia,

And chaco canyon in new mexico

To name just a few.

Henry: The seven pyramids of tikal are an example.

The pyramids of abusir in egypt is another example.

The tomb complex of the hongwu emperor,

The founder of the ming dynasty,

It mirrors the pattern of the pleiades.

It's almost as if these ancient cultures are signaling to us

Or leaving a trail for us to follow that says,

"this is where our gods came from."

Or, "this is where humans came from, or the place

That we're in fact trying to ultimately travel or return to."

The hawaiians say their royal ancestors

Came from the pleiades.

The cherokee in east tennessee say the same thing.

So divergent cultures are saying exactly the same thing,

And there's always the message,

"we were visited by beings who came from this star system."

You have to wonder why.

In this case, the pleiades, to me

Suggests that someone wanted to leave behind a message showing

- Where they came from. - Exactly.

Tsoukalos: I think this is fascinating because

It's basically a calling card.

We're gonna go all around the planet.

We're gonna build similar structures.

You're gonna see our calling card,

And it always wants you to remember the pleiades.

I completely agree with you,

And, you know, the fact... Look, if there was only

-Caral worldwide that had this thing, -right.

Then fine, there's no argument.

But the fact that there are dozens of examples

Like that in ancient times,

That is the point.

You know, this whole excavation of caral has put

The entire region into a new light,

And if you think about it,

This excavation has only just begun,

So who knows what we'll discover in the future

And what other keys we'll find.

Childress: So are there amazing discoveries

Still to be found in south america? There may well be.

I absolutely think so because

There are vast swathes of areas in south america

Where, you know, who knows

What we'll find in the future because there's nobody there.

Narrator: In 2019, archaeologists uncovered

An ancient settlement in the country of bolivia,

Just south of peru, that dates back

An astonishing 10,600 years.

While excavation has not revealed

A sophisticated city like caral,

Experts believe that it is just one

Of many ancient sites still left

To be uncovered in south america.

And that it may only be a matter of time

Before we are forced to rewrite history once again.

One has to wonder if one day

Archaeology will agree with us.

And I think that this is the direction we're actually going

Because they've always said, "oh, you know,

Everything is established, we kind of know everything."

And the truth of the matter is that they don't, and caral

-Has proven this because when you look at these pyramids -henry: Exactly.

In different regions of the world,

They correspond with each other.

But the depiction of this staff god, one could argue,

"oh, you know, this is just a deity holding a staff,"

Or whatever, but the fact that worldwide...

Not just in tiwanaku, not just in caral...

We have this motif of this being holding two staffs.

- Right. Right. - That is important.

The message is consistent

That extraterrestrials were not only intervening but they were

- Helping to advance us. - Well, gentlemen,

This has been a fascinating conversation,

And you know, this is what's so great about peru

And that whole region because

It continues to give us new pieces of information.

Look, there can be so much more to discover, and, no doubt,

It will shock us

Even more than what we found at-at caral.

We're gonna find something irrefutable very soon, I think.

- It's gonna change everything. - Tsoukalos: Right.

And I really think that, you know, the more

Archaeological evidence we find

That is connected to the stars

With a combination of stories

Of gods that once were here,

It'll only be a matter of time where even

The most dismissive archaeologists will have to say,

"man. Maybe these guys sitting at this table were right."

Exactly.
