  1. i have a friend from Peru and he was very proud to introduce me to Chicha. Purple chicha! From purple corn. Except it was not alcoholic and was very delicious ro drink. Like sweet purple cola, sorta kinda. Or sweet purple corn juice😅. Anyways it was really good and sooner or later I am that I will try the alcohol version of it.

  2. some of the characters in some of the stone work looked almost “mayan”, if indeed the character or picture I’m thinking of does repeat itself over and over in that staff god sun gate statue. I wonder if “official” archaeos have considered this? I am by no means implying any sort of relationship. I am simply observing that it looks similar. Besides I’m just a regular joe with a state college bachelor degree anyways lol. I think I’m saying that because I only just recently learned that the Mayan script had been partially decoded with work ongoing. As seen in the late Dr. Coe’s lectures as he was one of the ones who helped decode it.

  3. i’m a city kid of the modern age and even i still partially subsist on hunting and gathering😂. Albeit admittedly, you know mostly for sport. But I eat everything I hunt or fish and then sometimes I go berry pickin’ in April when it’s berry season in the spring in Texas

  5. alright well all of this fascinating stuff reminds me of the rumors and/or legends i have heard or have nominally read about regarding european style megaliths and such. saw a picture of one under the water one time but was it real or hoaxed who knows? i didn’t research further but thought it was fun to think about. Not to mention some of the mounds that feature equinox alignments which maybe you have talked about in other videos. I hope the megaliths are real and I want them to be haha. But really I haven’t the slightest idea. But again fantastic video and I learned some more stuff!

  6. oh how cool the Olmecs knew how to have talking parrots or crows too and then they chiseled it into their public announcement glyphs. Sure will be cool when somebody finds the Olmec rosetta stone someday or cracks the code somehow or another.

  7. i just saw a fascinating short vid yesterday on a recently discovered archaeology site in Kansas in what would maybe be like the Plains Village period. They call it Etzanoa and it’s in Kansas somewhere, and apparently was maybe like, a huge huge village. But I say village because they weren’t calling it a city because it didn’t have any mounds like Cahokia. It apparently was just like, village after village after village all along together pretty much connected. Along a river called Walnut River and, they scientist estimation of population is something like 200,000! pretty crazy!

  8. ouchita pronunciation = “wash it all” except no L sounds at the end. lolz. “wash it taww”. I haven’t the faintest idea why. maybe an old indian word carried over to present times just like the Mississippi River and so many other words

  9. always fascinating to watch and learn. And I am typing from a totally ignorant stance. But did go to Chichen Itza when I was 14 and I remember it being awesome.

  10. as others have said, this is also the first video i saw in my “recommendeds” feed of yours. Just excellent and interesting. Obviously, the “algorithm” plays off of other things a person has watched. And i have watched various alternative history channels such as geo cosmic rex and ancient architects and graham hancock and others and such. While theorization they may be, i personally do not view them as “alternative” but as simply offering theories that should be investigated and tested out in the archaeological ans anthropological sciences.

  13. the lead mine is in oklahoma (lol) and it supplied most of the lead for most of the bullets manufactured for the military during world war ii. It is now a “superfund” site because the lead tailings poisoned the water and caused birth defects and the residents were forced to abandon the town. However, i’m really just joking here 🤣saying something so silly asd that. But there were lead mines not too far to the west in oklahoma.

  14. the Thompson dude opposing the Russian linguist’s discoveries out-of-hand is also unfortunately because in 1952 that’s like the hottest part of the “cold war”. Maybe it was slightly unconscious but definitely all Americans were “culturally” expected to oppose anything Russian and communist, even if it was a legitimate historical or scientific discovery… because of the political overtones of the cold war that spilled over into and affected things it should not affect, such as legitimate historical linguistical decoding discoveries like the mean looking Russian linguist discovered.

  15. 18:00 sorry guys i am brand new to this Mayan history and I really do not understand why that king being nicknamed the ballplayer was considered a burn to him? Or am I missing a modern day joke applied to the historical presentation? if so, my bad.

  16.  @prunabluepepper k but you did see the part where he read the quote and the guy did not consider it even if they did have soup stones in the 1830s, right? he only said clay eaters. it was hilarious. But maybe I’d have thought the same if I lived in the 1830s

  17. no worries sir, fantastic video i’m really enjoying your content and narration or speaking style ever since my “recommendeds” in the feed led me to your channel a week or two ago. I think that maybe different folks say it different ways around those parts depending on which locale one may hail from, but that is the way i’ve heard it said most often.
