And the feel that I get walking these sites is almost every major site, if not all of them, have been inherited by the cultures that we currently attribute them to. Peru, in my opinion, is comparable, if not surpassing, places like Egypt. I'm watching people reconstruct sites and take old ancient blocks and cut them with stone saws to make them fit into the wall that they're recreating.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I started having to put the big watermark on there, yeah, because... Everybody's using your stuff. Yeah, it took me a couple of years. I'm slow to the... I'm slow to the realization, but yeah, it took me a couple of years, but I started realizing like everybody was just straight ripping all my content and nobody knew who I was. I wasn't getting credit for stuff for having filmed so many places.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But yeah, not that I mind. Just give me a shout out. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. it took a lot of work and energy to get to these places around the world and film them sometime at personal expense, you know, not just monetarily. And so, yeah, you know, and there's been some bigger channels that have done that and you know, huge shout out to Jimmy.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Jimmy's always been a huge, huge help and supporter and put me on blast. Love him to death. He's a good friend. He's a good dude. Good dude. And yeah,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Great guy. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. I, you know, my thought process on it has always been, you know, eventually people will kind of wreck, where's all this new stuff, content coming from, you know, and then, you know, eventually, but then I was like, no, you need to do your due diligence. I'm like,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
If I remember correctly, what we were told was that it was a platform, right?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
you know just put the watermark put just put a watermark on there right but then a lot of these guys that cut the watermark they cut the frame down and take out the watermark so it's like so you gotta put it right in the middle yeah right in the middle put it all four seventy percent opacity yeah yeah right right it's just a logo for five minute drums right right
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But yeah, I am very happy to contribute. Like I mentioned before, getting my stuff on Ancient Aliens or having my stuff pop up on Rogan all the time. And it's always clipped from... somebody else to clip of my content to like some like really trendy TikTok video.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
for the mo for the mo i for the statues to rest on and you know if you go around to the back side which i if this yeah this is my video um i do get around to the back side there eventually and there's collapsed statues and stuff there but um a lot of i don't seem the same level of precision in the statues as this wall right um
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Which I just haven't gotten on the big bandwagon yet with. But, but yeah, I definitely feel really, really thankful and grateful being able to, 10 years ago I would have been like,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
never could have imagined like yeah what i'm doing with my life right now yeah it's cool you're doing what you love and you're like what you do oh yeah it's awesome yeah yeah so i get to sit down here and talk about it yeah with uh with cool guys like you and yeah that's fun and enjoy it together, which is really cool. No doubt. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It's a wandering wolf. And then, um, Twitter is going to be my next biggest platform. It's W Wolf prod. So W W O L F P R O D. And then, um, Instagram and Facebook. You can follow me on Instagram, I guess, but it's the same as my Twitter handle. But Twitter and YouTube are going to be my biggest spots. You can find out what's going on with me and all the things I got going on.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And then my website, wanderingwolfproductions.com.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, I think it's going to be, I think it'll be, I think that'll be exciting. I think it's going to be a game changer.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So we put a lot of like a year of work into this. And by the time we're done, you know, almost two years. So it'll be fun to share that with people. I'm really excited. I almost shared too much today. No, you did great. You did great.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
That's really cool. Thanks for including me in that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I think so. Yeah. I might buy all five.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Any other final kind of closing thoughts? You know, thank you for having me on. So generous. My time out here has been amazing. And it's been an absolute pleasure to connect with you. And I'm glad to hear that you'll be at the Cosmic Summit. That sounds like a great opportunity to connect even more and see you in action. That'll be good.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
That's so amazing. And thanks for sharing that with me.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I mean, what are your... Yeah, I told you earlier, nerd card achieved.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I got that a long time ago. You're in the club. These are amazing. I was blown away. And I think a lot of our conversations that we had were really kind of enlightening in terms of, you know, a huge shout out to Ben for... these vases were never on my radar before. And I watched him at CPAC, his conference, his, uh, uh, presentation at CPAC, uh, I guess a year, a couple of years ago.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And, um, it really opened my eyes up to the importance of paying attention. Like I said earlier to the details, cause I've been visiting museums around the world. I'm just walking right past stuff like this and not realizing their importance. Yeah. And, uh, they are an absolute marvel. I mean, especially these two guys in the front.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I mean, the level of precision there is comparable to the stuff that I'm really into with the Megalus. I mean, we're talking about ancient technology. Yep. What a smoking gun. Yeah. That is so cool. Yeah, for sure. So cool to have. And thank you for letting me, let me hold them.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
You know, you could argue that the statues are maybe more artistic or whatever in terms of their expression and how they were created. But there's a clear also evolution in the statues as well as far as that they've determined in dating, right? A lot of the older Moai are less defined, their features and different stuff like that. And then as the newer ones became more and more...
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Which is a whole process in and of itself if you go through the mental exercise of imagining what that would require. You're talking about things functioning on multiple axes to fit in there and be able to spin it if you're trying to stick to the argument of it being handmade. Right, right, right.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I like, you know, what we were talking about earlier, that some of these... have the same level of detail on different sizes.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So you're talking about having to create specific tools for those, each individual vase, because they're all different sizes and have different shapes and levels to the concaveness or whatever within them that would require specifically made tools for that specific vase. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. Thanks for sharing that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I thought we were crazy in Texas. This is wild.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I mean, the average, like I thought I was just going the average speed and I looked down, I'm like doing 80 and cars are flying past me. And then I think that the craziest thing that's going on here is it's the tailgating. Yeah. Everybody's pissed off. Everybody's pissed off. And everybody's like a foot away from each other's bumpers at like 80, 90 miles an hour. Yeah. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And then you look over and all the women are just like, their faces are stretched out and expressionless. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It's a drag race now.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I didn't realize that because not that long ago, it was like the place to move.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
There was a lady doing 60 in the left lane just staying there on my way down here. And people were so pissed. So pissed, yeah. She had a stack of cars behind her.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I mean, she looked like she was crawling on the highway, but she was doing 60.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
That was wild. Yeah, you can't do that. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And it's like, why just this one spot? Well, you know... I think it's entirely possible that the that people from South America made their way over and crossed the ocean.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
What a doozy of a first question. Yeah. I went straight to the challenge. Yeah. Put me on my heels right away. Yeah. Um, I think about seven or eight years. Okay.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, I think, you know, we talked about it briefly last night. I think it's ridiculous to think that people that could create structures like this around the world, like that they were just incapable of trans-oceanic travel, that they were not capable of, like, making boats.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
They had a clear understanding of astronomy, of their natural environment, and how to use it to a high level and degree of skill. So to think that they couldn't create boats and just sail across the ocean, you know, is just ridiculous in my opinion.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Um, Yeah, I like to say I officially retired in 2016. I quit an old job there. And then I really wanted to travel. The plan was to take a year off and travel. But a year turned into two years. And I figured I better figure out a way to... maybe make some money at this or turn it into something. Right. So that's what I did. So I kind of started around 2018, maybe 2019, somewhere in there. Cool.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And this is another perfect example of, um, fitting those dates, pushing, pushing all of these types of structures and different things back past that 10,000 year mark.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I was just there a few months ago, Megalitos de Capuli, and it is in the northern part of Peru, several hours north of Tarapoto up in the Amazonian Andes. So... A buddy on Twitter made me aware of it, sent me a private link or pictures. A gentleman out there who runs tours named Dilmer was the first person to document it.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
He documented it, I think released his first video in July. And it kind of was blowing my mind that it hadn't gotten any traction. Not that it hadn't gotten traction,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
it had his views had hundreds of thousands of views but um nobody in america was really talking about it and all his content is in spanish and i'm pretty sure that's the reason so i wanted to get down there and see it for myself and so i did um and it was quite the adventure that was one of the more challenging uh trips that i've been on um trying to make work i had one failed attempt trying to get out there and then uh was able to hook up with him delmer
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
and have him guide me out there. So we drove as far as we could. There he is, yeah. And Marcia up there on the top left, she was my guide for my Peru tour that I did this year. We had a blast. And I tried to get out to Megalito State Capitol after that tour ended while I was still down there and just couldn't work it out. And so I eventually contacted her. We linked back up a couple weeks later.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I got back down there and she met me up there and got facilitated everything. Top right, gentleman on the right, that's Dilmer. And the gentleman I'm shaking hands with, that is the president of the area. I don't know what that involves, being the president of the area, but very friendly and amazing coffee. They grow coffee on the whole side of the mountain there.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And we drove as far as we could, and we had to hike through all the jungle and then up this mountain. And there's a little community up there. They live out up there. But this was the payoff here, these blocks. And I thought they were worth looking into. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I'm hoping to get back out there here at the beginning of this year and coordinate something with them for clearing around the site to be better able to kind of see the bottoms of these structures, these blocks, to see if they're attached still to bedrock, if they're free, and just get some more information there. But they're all in these rectangular blocks.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Even the smaller ones are in these rectangular shapes. And several of them almost look like obelisks. Like the start of an obelisk. So there's a lot of different... It really gave me... comparable vibes to, to Baalbek and the quarry there, the stone of the pregnant woman and everything.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
No, but here's the thing. It really sucked because the closest that I could get to the site was, um, Terrapoto. And that's about three hour drive.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Recording.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
to from terrapota so we got up early in the morning it's a three hour drive out there then it took another probably couple hours of hiking through the jungle to get up there and then i had you know i maybe had i don't even know if i had two hours before we had to head back because for daylight um And so I definitely didn't have as much time as I would have liked.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So my first time up there was more about trying to film everything that I could, get the drone up and film the site with the drone, and then try to get pictures and look at what I could. But there really just wasn't enough time for me to kind of dig around and look for clues other than what Dilmer was pointing out to me. So when I go back, I'm hoping to figure out
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
a a closer place to stay so i can kind of maximize my time there to be able to really look for details gotcha yeah yeah was there like any other was there a formation nearby or like any other well there's petra there's there's petroglyphs yeah there's carvings that he showed me
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, this last year... Yeah, I've been a lot of growth on this last year. I made a lot of changes over the last two years. And I think a lot of that really started coming into effect over the last year, which has been great.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
they have a mountain there which they which he pointed out to me as we finally got back to the car and we were leaving he was like oh they call that pyramid mountain and i look back and there's just this pointed peak and i'm like yo i could i could have sent my drone over there maybe um but you know tell me these things at the beginning of the trip next time don't worry you know but um but yeah what else there were um
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
what looked like cart ruts. And I was able to scan those. I've been doing a lot of work on cart ruts over the last year, all of 2024, documenting cart ruts around the world. So that was a really, yeah, that was a really, that was a treat to see that and find that. There it is. And so I was able to scan those with LiDAR using Polycam. And
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So we're going to start breaking into that data here pretty soon and add it to the, to the work that we've been doing on the cart rut stuff.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, absolutely. The cart ruts have been, you know, some of them date back 5,000 years or so. I liked ones in Malta. Some in Malta have been attributed to being like somewhere around 5,000 years old and You can find them all over Europe. They're all over Malta. Yeah, there's some great shots. The one on the right, that's Malta. But you can find them in America, too. I've been documenting the one.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I live in Austin, and there's cart ruts in Austin. Now, the story behind the cart ruts in Austin is that they were created by wagon wheels. Now, we talked a little bit about this last night, and I think we have some groundbreaking information on the cart ruts that I'll be sharing.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I'm probably somewhere around six months away from being able to get all that together, finish all the work on the data, and then producing a video the way that I want to release all this.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
i will say that i think that we're going to be able to definitively say that these were not made by wet by any type of wheel and back that up with data when we release this so we'll see where we get here over the next six months but the data right now is showing And if we're able to do that specifically within America, that changes the whole story, right?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And that's been a huge... A lot of these places that I've been going to in America, that has been kind of the underlying attempt is pursuing this idea that perhaps... the history that we know of here in the Americas, specifically North America, isn't what we've been told. But everything here has a story. Dolmens are glacial erratics. Cart ruts were made by wooden wagon wheels.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
You know, so North America is this really, right now it's a really fun place kind of thread to pull on to see what keeps kind of popping out and happening there. I'm really excited about the cart rut stuff once we finish all that and release it to everyone to share those findings with everybody. But whether it's the cart ruts or things like dolmens or stuff like sage wall,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
If any of these are kind of proven to be manmade or push date backs or differ from the established narrative, well, we might be rewriting history here. And not just myself, but plenty of other people are out there documenting it, doing things like this.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Which is why I always encourage people, especially people that live out in remote areas or outside the cities, get out there and film stuff and share it with the community. It could be nothing. But it could be something. And getting eyes on things, taking pictures, sharing it, plug yourself into community. I think Twitter's a great place for that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Getting other eyes on it will get different perspectives. There may be things that are worth looking at that...
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Well, I did pretty well for myself working in a job that I was really miserable at. I worked in sales. And, you know, so I had a lot of money saved up. And that was able to kind of propel me forward for quite a while. Luckily, until I'll be honest with you, until this year, I really thought I was going to have to maybe make some changes this year, especially at the beginning of this past year.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
that other people noticed that you weren't aware of which is why i think it's it's really great to get you know connected with other people and share all this stuff so um yeah north america is kind of exciting you know they're traveling the restaurant around the around the world uh all over the place these different countries is is a lot of fun right especially going to places like ball back or peru or different stuff like that but north america is kind of uh
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
you know, it's kind of an Easter egg hunt, which is also fun in its own way. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Sure.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, no, I, I, I've shared this before. I feel like the cart ruts are tied into quarries. I feel like there's a connection there. I think that cart ruts are tied into quarrying stone and that they served a purpose for movement. And I think we figured that out. That's the only thing that I'm hesitating on to share is until we get that a little bit more refined in terms of the data.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But I think we figured out what the cart ruts are as opposed to wheels, wagon wheels. But there is, in my opinion, a direct connection with cart ruts and quarries. And I think the cart ruts, and we're going to have to think of a different name for that because if we're able to, I just don't even like saying cart ruts anymore because I don't think that there were any kind of carts being used.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
No wheels and nothing like that, right? But yeah, I believe that there's a direct connection and correlation between the cart ruts and finding quarries nearby or exactly there in that location.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
um malt is a great example of that and even in austin um there's there was supposedly an old quarry uh right near where those cart ruts are found well i mean wow because like the time period where they would they would have been used
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. I think that may be some of the most frustrating parts of the archaeological community is this apparent unwillingness to look at just common sense things. there are so many connecting pieces around the world.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Like I've shared before, like from these and, and the cart rats being another one of them, but everything from the type of, you know, evidence left behind in construction from the markings and, and, I mean, to the scope and scale of the constructions, design, again, symbology, all sorts of stuff.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So yeah, you know, tying the cart ruts together around the world and showing through data and evidence that, Not just that they weren't made from cart ruts, but hopefully what we're trying to do is show that me and my buddy Sean, and I want to give a shout out to him because he's the one. By the way, I'm not doing any of the math on this. I went and documented and scanned them.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I say this year, 2024. you know, there was a plan last year that if things didn't start kind of hitting within a specific period of time, I had set a date that I was going to have to get a job. And then things started kind of taking off a little bit enough, enough to pay the bills. Right. And, um, And I, uh, I served in the military. I get disability from that, from my time in there.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And my buddy Sean's doing all the heavy lifting there when it comes to breaking down the data. But, you know, hopefully what we're able to show is not just show that these aren't... Especially in North America, it's not just show that they weren't made by wagon wheels, but show that they were made by specifically something else and for what. So that's what we're hoping to do.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I feel like we're really... really on the um on the edge of of having that answer we have some answers and the answer we we i think we're we know that they weren't made by wagon wheels and then what we're what we're
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
know formulating now is the working theory of what they were that did create that and so i'm excited i'll be excited to share that but it definitely that would open up a whole realm of possibilities in terms of understanding north specifically north america because there's cart routes everywhere in north america they're all there's tons of sites around north america with cart routes um but but they don't get any attention because they're explained away as
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Wagon roads, you know, made by wagon wheels and settlers crossing over and mud and drying mud. And that's the story, you know. Everything has a natural explanation here in America, you know. But yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
did the indentations get made with hammers and chisels to make these rails for the rock to move on top of you know chicken or an egg kind of a question i guess yeah that's a good question um man i hate i hate to do that i'm gonna skip that yeah i think we we almost have that figured out what i will say is i think um i hate skipping a question like that it's so good um let me say this i the
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
you especially let's take malta for example you have a lot of examples of where it's clear that the stone was being quarried out of the center of those cart ruts right because it's still left there in that state so there are there are sites in malta where it's clear that they were quarrying the stone between the cart ruts and um and so uh you know But then I think it was multi-purpose.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It was used to facilitate the movement of the, not just between the cart ruts, but all around it. But they were coring out in between the cart ruts as well. I mean, there's places in Malta where there's no... you know, it's impossible that it was made by a cart rut because it goes down so deep in areas and the left stone in between them is so high.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It's just, it's impossible that that was made by a cart rut. And I think those are areas where the center between them just hadn't fully been quarried out yet.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So as we're looking here, there's examples of this all over Sacsayhuaman. What you'll notice is those square spots, right? What you'll also notice there at Sacsayhuaman, which we don't have a great shot of here, But do you remember walking Sacsayhuaman, there being the indentations in the stones that are kind of out of place?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Like the whole stone is shaped and curved like you were just describing, and then at the bottom of it or in the middle of it, there'd be like a pressed in area. Yeah. When you get really close into the, and it was great that it just rained too, because a lot of this really stood out, which can be hard to see sometimes.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And that really has been helpful. Um, so, uh, yeah, um, it's 2024 is a great year for seeing growth and, um, it was very exciting, a lot of great opportunities and chance to work with a lot of really amazing people. Um, and so, uh, yeah, looking forward to what else is to come. Yeah. Cool.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But a lot of what the patterning, which is even in finer detail that's hard to see in these pictures, is there's almost like, looks like a mesh patterning over it.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And there's going to be, I know that the geopolymer idea is not super popular with a lot of people in the crowd, but if there was ever a place for the argument for geopolymer, in my opinion, Sachse Wumann is a great example to explore that idea. The reason being is the way, the idea,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
The way that these stones are shaped and they look has a feel of that roundedness and different stuff of being poured. Now, if you had some kind of burlap sacking or something to contain, if it was concrete and was poured, kind of like a concrete bag, and it was all wrapped, it would leave these line marks, which you find on the stones there.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Almost like there was like a pressed in indentation of like patterning, like a sackclothing, right? Which you'll see on the stone there. And then you have areas where these squares are and stuff like that. Now, some of the areas that I was talking about where you had those indentations, what they appear to be to me, it's almost like, imagine yourself, there's a great shot right there.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So it, it, it almost looks like the outside of, uh, that some of those stones, have you ever smoothed out concrete? Have you ever taken a two by four or something or a board and smoothed it out? It's almost like kind of a crappy job. Like that picture on the top left there, it's almost like that stone was pliable or malleable and they, it was smoothed out. Um,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And then what if you had a break in one of those bags? So if we're looking at, for example, that top left pitcher, and these are all contained in these sacks as they dry, and you had a bit of an imbalance in it or something, and you took like a wood board or something and pushed it into it to stabilize it. That's almost what those indentions remind me of.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So it looks like a big construction project almost, almost like laying concrete with these different types of examples, like the stone could have been contained in these perfectly placed bags and then looking like there's evidence of smoothing over and then things being pressed into it to stabilize it against the ground and keep it balanced.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
um so you know that's a fun idea to explore do i know that no i mean but uh it was definitely something that kind of stood out to me and it certainly would be a lot easier to pour stone in place than um move these giant megalithic blocks up onto the top of that mountainous area there on where sexy woman is
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And then those guys, they got off early that day, so they didn't smooth it out. They just bounced. Right. They didn't finish smoothing the whole process. They heard the whistle and they left for the day.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
A lot. I should probably tally that up at some point because I get asked that a lot. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe over 50 or something. I don't know.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
kind of makes sense for stability yeah um that is exciting in montana that they we've you know that uh chris the property owner chris and linda he's been amazing funding research up there and different stuff working on the site every year just recently cleared and exposed the backside and that's been exciting just to see that it's it it actually looks like it's a wall because the argument was that you know that it just went into the because the backside
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
is higher it comes all the way up well he's cleared it it's clearly these these stones on the back side that go down we'll see if that continues on as he continues to clear and excavate but he's he's doing it right he's going really slow um and uh but yeah that's exciting to see that the backside kind of holds up the same type of structure and feature as the front yeah for sure um
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I think that what it still has left to reveal, I think we barely scratched the surface of amazing discoveries to be found down in South America. I think that I think there'll be a gold rush of people going down there eventually and getting deeper and deeper into some of these areas and exploring. I hope to be part of that. And, you know, I think that, I think as the years progress, I think,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
whoever's writing history books is going to have some, you know, job security for a while. That's my thought process on South America. I think we've really scratched, barely scratched the surface. especially, you know, with the Amazon and getting further and further out into the Amazon and exploring and, and stuff like that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And, uh, I mean, you've got kids at home on their computers now, you know, finding stuff just by using Google earth and, uh, now with lidar and as that gets easier and easier to do scanning all of the amazon eventually how amazing would that be seen through the trees and the foliage down to the ground and
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I think a lot of that's just as some of this technology becomes more and more available and cheaper and cheaper, people are just going to fund it themselves to just go out there and discover things on their own.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
for that site. The history that we know of here in the Americas, specifically North America, isn't what we've been told. Now all of the rock and everything that's been excavated from those caves, they've never found. And we're talking about tens of thousands of tons of excavated rock that's never been accounted for. If there was ever a place for the argument for geopolymer,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And we talked about this before, I think, you know, a lot of times how you hear it explained away was that, you know, the average height was back then was just very small. You know, people were five, five, five, six or something, or maybe smaller. And so that like a seven foot tall person or something within the realm of possibility for us today would seem like a giant.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But I don't, you know, yeah, I think that these people are talking about like eight, nine, 10 feet tall, maybe taller people. uh yeah i think they were speaking literally yeah and uh every culture has stories of giants around the world i don't think these and it's not just giants i mean it's all these different things that have been explained away as myth and legend
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Generally, where I like to start with things like this is assuming that they're speaking literally until we figure it out otherwise. Metaphorical speaking and fantastical speaking has a flow. These accounts that you're talking about, they weren't written in a style of fanciful... These are logs and diaries and journals. They're not writing fantasy here.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So it was an account of what they experienced.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So I had an opportunity to... I spent some time down exploring Patagonia all throughout Chile, Argentina, all the way down to... the very tip of South America. And it is a wild, wild land down there. It feels very, very different. It was one of the more impactful trips that I've had Because, you know, I went to regions out there that were just like, I was like, dude, we're really out here.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Drew from Ushua to Cuevos de los Manos. It's a cave out there. You see famous pictures of it with the handprints all over the wall and six-fingered hands and stuff out there, too. That drive was... That was something else. Getting out there. I mean, the roads that we were on weren't even really roads, you know? Yeah. And I do have a video from it out if people want to check that out.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But... Yeah, these aren't painted either. They were... They put stuff in a gun or like a tube or whatever, put their hand on the wall and then blew it around their hand. I can't, it's, I don't know what that's. The word for that is escaping my brain at the moment. But yeah, so they weren't painted on, or they would paint the surface, then put their hand over and blow another color over it.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It's crazy cool artwork. But Patagonia is incredible. It's a wild land. If there was somebody where there's some place where there's giants, yeah, Patagonia's a good place to start looking. It's wild out there.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
There you go. There it is.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
um pretty pretty wild pretty pretty wild yeah that was a big story for a long time um oh is that was that a national story was that a uh well yeah i mean i saw it all over um but maybe it's just you know you get plugged into the community yeah you get uh you see stuff coming your way but yeah i'm familiar with that story okay yeah okay uh-huh and then they loaded it up on a helicopter and took it took it away yeah big red-headed giant exactly yeah yeah
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
What's great about this picture is it does show, it doesn't show everything, but you can see how they're changing. They're changing a lot of stuff and we'll get into that. But I do want to point out like that stuff, like that doorway, these, these were added, they cut through that wall.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
You know, I mean, there's similarities around the world, especially with the redheaded stuff. I mean, you have Lovelock Cave in America and the stories, the Native American stories with the giants that they killed and smoked out in the caves there. Yeah. But yeah, that's a fun one to read. to get into, but yeah, no, I, I think that they were speaking literally.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Bolivia is crazy. Bolivia is awesome and it's amazing. It's not quite set up like Peru to be as quite as tourist friendly, but it's, I mean, our flight in a baby, uh,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
was stopped breathing and my cousin had to like save this baby on the plane this whole thing he resuscitated this baby oh got it breathing again that that was as we were landing in bolivia then we get our first night we get into la paz
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
after that and a guy gets stabbed to death against my window are you serious yeah i mean he's screaming and dying wow it's far away as we are right now for me and some dude was sitting there stabbing him stab him to death yeah wow and then he stumbled down the street and died on the corner oh my god dude that's crazy
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
it was crazy we did death road we went out to the uyuni salt flats yeah i saw those my cousin got pretty sick he gets sick on every every trip that he goes on with me he can't eat anything without without getting sick it makes for it makes for some fun moments for me to uh give him a hard time but um Tiwanaku and Pumapuku were incredible.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And when I got out there, back then I was very much of the opinion of it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. And this was right at the height of COVID. So we get down there and Puma Punku was closed. Tiwanaku was open and there was nobody around. So we do Tiwanaku. And then, you know, my buddy, my cousin was gonna put the drone up and fly over Tiwanaku. But there were these,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
That's not original. Okay. Got it. Got it. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
were doing like these practice things for these ceremonies so they had a museum there i really wanted to see the museum so i kind of multi-purposed went over there to ask if there's any way we could get into the museum to see the museum even though it was close but also to kind of distract them from the drone we're at a high altitude right so you can hear everything um you know it's just a lot louder something like flying a drone up there at a high altitude
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So, you know, my thing was just like take it up really high and just kind of circle it, get some good shots. And then, you know, so I'm talking to this lady. She's a village elder. We're sitting on this stone wall. And I'm talking to her and I start hearing the... I'm like, dude, he's not bringing it over here. And it's getting louder and louder to the point where she starts looking up.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And she hasn't seen it yet, but she can hear it. And I can see it happening in her face. She's piecing it together like, okay, that's a drone. I'm talking to this gringo. They're clearly connected, right? There's nobody else around. It's COVID. There's nobody here. And sure enough, my cousin flies it right down the main street of the town there at like 20 feet off the ground.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Absolutely. I love Peru. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Peru is one of those places that, you know, especially with Cusco, I like to call Cusco the Rome of South America. Peru is amazing. And what's so amazing about Peru is that it's still... giving up secrets and new places and people are discovering new things.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I'm like, it goes right by us. And I'm just sitting there like, you got to be shitting me, man. And she's like, is that you? And I'm like, look, I look at her and I'm like, yes. I mean, obviously, like there's no getting out of that, right? So... They confiscated the drone and the footage and took us into this office. They're like... Stabbed your cousin to death. Stabbed my cousin to death.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
He's buried next to Puma Punku. God bless him.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But we just, we ended up working it out and they made an agreement with us that if we shared all the footage with them, right? So we said, absolutely, but let us into Puma Punku. somebody take us over there and open the gate and blah, blah, blah. And they did. So we went over there, we got some great film that all worked out. Ancient aliens bought that footage.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Um, they, you know, uh, used a lot of my footage and their, um, seasons, uh, a lot of the drone footage for different places around the world. And, um, we came back and, uh, And then we had to sit there for a couple of hours because their computers were so slow that it took like several hours just to download like, you know, 20 minutes of footage onto their computer. But we did it.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
They worked it out. I don't know if they're using it or not. That's what they wanted it for was just, we'll let you do this if we can use your footage for whatever we want for tourism and for the site. So maybe it's on their website or something, I don't know. But it was a really good experience. Puma Punku and Tiwanaku, you know, Tiwanaku's a pyramid. And I don't think most people know that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Tiwanaku has some incredible examples. Puma Punku does too. I don't... Tiwanaku doesn't get talked about quite as much, but there's a whole scattering of blocks and stones and different stuff towards the back of Pumapuku that have some really interesting designs. I mean, precision tiny drill holes perfectly spaced along blocks that are formed like sluices with curved undersides.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I mean, the level of precision... And those videos are out, and they show all of that. There's a level of precision going on there that is just incredible. And I mean...
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
the drill holes in some of these blocks and they go all the way through on some of them are so tiny and so precise and so evenly spaced um it clearly looks like these blocks were designed in some way to like fit on something and these are almost you ever put ikea furniture together No, but I can imagine it. These little pieces that they trouble you with, they sit on and they just connect it.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It's almost like that's what was going on in some of these. And now there are examples that aren't on cracks and grooves where it's in the middle of the block and the stone. But yeah, and some of these are on blocks and pieces that are completely square, but then have whole center pieces that are curved and sloping underneath and all sorts of stuff. It was a really fascinating site.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
There's a very interesting courtyard type area with all these different types of faces and stuff. Some look like an alien and different things like that. And you get over to Pumapunku, And they're just, they're right next to each other, these sites.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And it's all like, I think maybe, I think I'm right in saying it's all about 50 miles away or something from, maybe it's 25, from Lake Titicaca and that whole area. And apparently the water used to come all the way up to that area of Tiwanaku and Pumapunku. Yeah, apparently the water from Titicaca came all the way up to Tiwanaku and Pumapunku in that area.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Um, but you know, Peru, in my opinion is comparable if not surpassing, um, places like Egypt and, you know, having visited them both, I think, uh, you know, Peru is a hundred percent comparable and it's such a, um, a pleasant place to visit as well. Uh,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Almost like that area was a, kind of like a, used to be a shoreline or something, or it was almost like a. So it was lower and then it rose up 14,000 feet. I'm sorry, say that again.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I think the water just retreated. So the, yeah, from what I understand and I remember, the water used to come all the way out to Tiwanaku. Oh, from Lake Titicaca. Correct, yeah. I got you, right, right, right. And obviously the H blocks and the sun gate and stuff like that are some of the more famous aspects of Tiwanaku and Pumapunku, which are incredible. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And we were lucky enough, we, some of the, I do have, I have a drone footage. I have a drone video out on Pumapunku, which is, which I really love that video because it, we got right over these H blocks with the drone video. I mean, directly over it. Because the sights roped off a lot of it. And so with this drone footage, you know, we go right over a lot of this.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Nobody was there because of COVID. Nobody was there. And this is why I was able to kind of sell that footage to ancient aliens was because, you know, I had these sights with no people in any of the shots. COVID was great, by the way, for traveling. I was all over the place, all over the world. I never stopped traveling. Great for food delivery, too. Food delivery.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But I got so much good footage during COVID traveling to places around the world because there just was nobody anywhere.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
The way I've heard it described before was that it was possibly some kind of dock or something when there was water here or something.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I don't know too much about that to say that definitively. But yeah, definitely some kind of structure here. Like a temple. It could be, yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
ceremonial it's all ceremonial religious temples yeah always it looks like it's just been blown apart it does doesn't it a lot of these sites and that's interesting that you said that because I've thought about that for years but I've never I don't know why I never bring that up but all of these ancient sites look like they've just been blown up from the top down you know
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
um but yeah i mean this footage right here i was so stoked about getting this yeah that's incredible just a direct flight slow right over all of this gave us looks into you know kind of closer looks at some of the stuff that you it's harder to see um when you're there at ground level But the intricate detail you can see on some of these things on the right there is.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I think this was pre-flood. Yeah. I think, I think the majority, almost all these ancient sites date back past 10,000 years. Um, into a worldwide civilization. And I think that what we had after the fact is inheritors of these different sites. I think almost everything, every ancient site these days that's being attributed to whatever culture were actually more likely inheritors.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
and um you know you do into certain parts have to get used to the altitude i know you had that first couple days were legit yeah yeah it'll get you yep yep but yeah wonderful place um and what i thought was really interesting when we were talking last night was that uh was sex a woman your just first site in peru to visit or was it your first ancient site to visit
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So these are my thoughts and ideas, right? And I think that's, you know, for a lot of us, that's probably why, you know, the archaeological community pushes back so hard is because we're exploring ideas that they outright dismiss. But fascinating area. Bolivia is amazing. It was one of my favorite trips ever. It was so full of all kinds of craziness going on throughout the entirety of that trip.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But also Bolivia is a wonderfully beautiful and incredible country for experiencing a variety of natural beauty. like the uni salt flats the you know the altiplano getting up into the altiplano wildlife um you know uh just so much natural beauty and formations and all sorts of uh really incredible stuff out there including all the ancient sites
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, 100%. That's what they call it. This is me walking up on the wall. i found walking up onto the site like that comparable to my experience of walking up to saxon woman the it's generally dismissed by the archaeological community as a as a natural feature usually as a volcanic dike so this sits in the boulder batholith area of montana
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
um what's that the boulder batholith is um i it's it's big but it's as far as batholith goes it's a it's smaller but it's it's a large underground and above ground outcropping of the of this all the stone um which does create these natural like really unique formations all over the place
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But what we have here is a level of what looks like precision that's unique to what these outcroppings and stuff generally look like. Now, I've seen a lot of dikes and, you know, the dikes and stuff generally push up and they have a more vertical kind of appearance and different stuff. This is just straight up horizontal all the way across and flat and a flat top.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And they've done ground penetrating radar now. And they've established there's like a table about 15 to 20 feet down, a flat surface down at the base of this. And so hugely, hugely thankful to Chris and Linda who own the property that this sits on for opening it up to the public.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
They've completely rearranged their lives and what they were doing to accommodate for this so that people can come out there and see it. and have funded the research that's been going on into, you know, getting to the bottom of, you know, whether or not this could have some kind of manmade influence. But I feel like it's a fascinating site.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
The reason why I focused so much on this site, because there are other things to explore and look at in Montana. But this one here is on private property. And we have the opportunity to explore it. And also, I feel like it's just the most, you know, there's a lot of people that, you know, Tizer Dolman is another site out there.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I will put out a video backing this up and explaining this, but I think Tizer-Dolman is a natural formation. In fact, I know that it is. I think it's pretty easy to establish that Tizer-Dolman is natural. And a lot of people might be upset with me for saying that, but because people want to believe or whatever, and it's a really unique formation, but I think that one's natural.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. Totally agree. Yeah. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Sage Wall has a lot of indicators, in my opinion, that warrant further research, further looking. That's one that I'm like, let's run this out to the end.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, maybe 50-50. I think maybe a little bit more than 50-50. I think Sage Wall is one of those things where it's like, It could be both. It could be a natural formation that has man-made influence on it. So it could be something that was utilized by man at some point and then shaped or modified or used for different things.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
That area was not covered by ice. Right. Um, and, uh, but let's take our dates back far enough. I think, you know, when we're talking about stuff like what the younger drives to different things, you have this impact that would have decimated what North America, well, we're talking basically then ground zero. It would make sense, you know, that North America would be noticeably, um,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
lacking in some of these um maybe more preserved or not or or different types of megalithic type constructions now or if you found them let's say sage wall is a wall and that whole area is something possibly um it's also right smack in the middle of a what was an incredibly active region being the boulder batholith
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
the amount of you're talking about you know 10,000 plus years of weathering than if we're dating it back that far So it kind of makes sense that, you know, like, I mean, that region there is very, the amount of damage that could be done to stone from weather and especially things like vegetation, tree roots can destroy stone quick, very quick.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
The hesitation here is that I loved Egypt. Egypt is a hard country to visit, I think. It's intense. It was one of the more challenging countries, especially if you're rolling solo, which is kind of how I do. But Peru is 100% comparable. I think that they're very... You have these incredible megalithic, mind-blowing sights, right? But the type of construction, it can be very different.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I don't think people realize how quickly trees can absolutely decimate stuff. I mean, you have, clearly you have, at Sage Wall, you have,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
breaks in the wall that make no sense if it was constructed well if this thing is that old it makes it looks like that there there has been cracking that has happened from weathering and stuff 100 so how does a wall like that form naturally um generally there's like cracks or grooves or different things in the ground or maybe even another rock or stuff and so you know
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
those areas fill up with what, like magma lava or whatever, and then they solidify along that, whether it's a fault line or that area, that space. And then just crack due to? Maybe continued movement or pressure or movement in the region. That area is real close to the continental divide there. which is just a bit further west past Butte. So you have a lot of geological activity in that region.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But yeah, generally, the dikes don't quite look like that with the horizontal layering and blocks. That's what makes it really unique.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Keweenaw.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, Keweenaw was, people have been blowing me up about that for like a year, but nobody knew where it was exactly. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
so there were some pictures that existed online there were some pictures and people just kept sending it to me and i was like guys i'd go but i don't know where it is nobody knew where it was somebody did reach out to me but um and say they knew where it was but you know they i don't know the the arrangement that they wanted to make to get out there was really involved
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I did my Peru tour and two gentlemen, my buddies, Jeff and Andrew, who were on the tour with me towards the end of the, they were holding out on me the whole time. There they are the whole time. And at the end of the trip told me like, oh, we know where Keweenawal is. And there, because there's a couple of Michigan boys from the UP. I said, are you kidding me?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
and uh yeah i'll take you out there i was like immediately bought a ticket so i was back from peru for like four or five days and then flew up there and did this nice and uh yeah it's pretty cool it the the wall goes all the way across um this is deep down in the ravine the sides are on both sides are very high
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I don't know what happened to the center there, but you can see on the right side, when you're there, it continues on. So straight across from that on the other side of the ravine, the wall continues into the ground. And yeah, I wanted to get out there quick because the weather was just about to turn, you know? Once it starts snowing and it's pretty cold up there.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So people have clearly known about this for a while. You know, you've got carvings in the rock and stuff, and the thing is massive. What type of rock is that? You know, I don't know, off the top of my head.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I thought it was really interesting that the clearly broken off section here, I didn't see that, so maybe it was just buried enough there. But there's a little stream running right through the center there. Obviously doesn't look natural, but very well could be, I guess. Yeah, I mean, it's interesting how...
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
much these are very much look like blocks but uh you know i mean like the top of that that's kind of kind of wild again this is one i would i'd like to go back uh and spend a bit more time really getting into the details also the time of day as you can see here on the shot the sun was like fully on that wall so it kind of washed it out
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
so lighting was not my friend that day what are you 50 50 on this one too i think this one's you know maybe leans more towards towards natural but uh i don't know again with all this stuff you know we were talking about before i think if there's even a percentage of a chance it's worth exploring um
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
You know, I fail to see from archaeology's perspective what the harm is in researching any of these things. You know, I've talked about this with Jimmy before. We've had discussions about this. Corsetti?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
that either way it's a win you're doing more research and so you're gathering more data on a site to either determine that it was an ancient site or not and if it's not you've still gathered a bunch of valuable information on a really unique geological feature right so it's a win-win so you know um Yeah, I've never quite understood the outright dismissal of things and not exploring.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But it's like we talked about a little bit about last night. I mean, ultimately, what are you boiling down these arguments to? It's really an argument of free speech, being able to speak your mind freely, publicly, have a platform and say what you think and feel.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
it's not really about who's right or wrong because I mean, they're, they're basically saying that people should be quiet about stuff like this or not. We're like, you know what, the science is settled. And, uh, I think there's just a fundamental disagreement there, um, between the two schools of thought with, you know, all that's kind of going on, at least on social media between, um,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And so they're very unique from each other in that regard, other than that they are both exhibiting these incredible displays of engineering marvels in terms of the size of the... these megalithic structures. Yeah. It's actually, well, mom being the perfect example.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
creators and explorers and then the archaeological community um let's try to think of a different word than alternative history there
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And that side seems to have a real fear of being wrong about anything, which is, in my opinion, completely anti-science. Whereas the other side, people over here are like, you know, I'll speak for myself, I have no problem being wrong about stuff. I don't, like, isn't that how you're supposed to get to answers?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
You try a million things and it's like everything else in life is you just keep trying until you get it right, right? And, or you arrive to an answer, a satisfying answer. But, you know, I don't see it as being wrong. I see it as figuring out one thing that doesn't work or doesn't apply. So you just keep going.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. Yeah. But they sure give it their best. Yeah, they do. That's true. That's true. I was telling you last night. Yeah. Some of these guys, uh,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
probably watch this video uh some they're like my biggest fans they comment on everything these are these are professors at universities that get onto my tweets and videos and leave comments on everything that i do well you got to be blocked by them the main guys i'm sure yeah devil blocked me a while back yeah yeah i don't know um oops is probably blocking me i'm sure Hoops, I don't know.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
He has. Oh, he's blocked me? Oh, for sure.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, there's a lot of energy that these guys are putting in to keep it up. Oh, wow, you've got it. Wait, who?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Amazing. I mean, look, it's this pinned comment. This is his... This is where the energy goes. And it continues on. How about focusing more on like, you know, I don't, I've never, the guys that have these professors and archaeologists that have jumped on my stuff and left comments, I've never responded to any of them. I don't give a shit what they think. Because there's no...
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
If it doesn't, if any of these guys, if I was able to have a relatively civil conversation and try to figure things out, I'd be open to that. But these guys are dicks. And they intentionally come on to people's platform like my own who've never done anything to them and talk shit. And they're ugly. And some of my buddies are really good at pushing back. I just ignore it.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I just focus on what I'm doing. And it's weird to me that they don't do that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
He'd make his little fists and his sleeves would cover them.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I don't care, man.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. But. Yeah. I mean, yeah. If any of those guys are watching any of this or watching this video, I see your comments. I just don't respond to them because I don't give a shit. I'm not going to sit around all day every day thinking about other people that disagree with me. I've got a wonderful life. I wake up every day and I'm grateful now for the life that I have. It wasn't always that way.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But I've worked hard to get to a point where I'm doing something that I love and that I'm passionate about. And I've been fortunate enough to make a lot of wonderful friends along the way within this community of people. And I'm very happy for that. So my energy and my time keeps getting more and more limited. So I choose to be very aware of how I spend it and who I give it to.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I'm certainly not going to give it to you. some dickhead online that's being an asshole. To try to prove something to him that he's, you know, it makes no difference to me. I'm still going back to these places. I'm still going to document this or go here or do that. So I don't factor in any of that to the decisions that I make. But I think more than anything, I kind of feel
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I think they're going to miss the boat. I think they're doing more damage to their community than they recognize and realize. Like the impact of a lot of this 10 or 20 years from now will really be felt instead of it just being this argument online now between communities. I mean, they've said it outright. Divils said it out loud that archaeological programs, museums, they're closing communities.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
That's unfortunate. But I don't want to go sit and take a class with someone like Flint Dibble. I have no desire to have someone like that teach me, or hoops. So anything that could be shared of value, you know, how's it being presented? Because people have a hard time listening to jerks talk down to them, even if what they're sharing is factually true. And that's how they speak to people.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And it's unfortunate because I think that there's a need for, there's definitely a need for archaeology and the work that's being done. But I also think that it's been hijacked over the years by
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I mean, this goes right into some of the stuff that we talked about before with, you know, some of the, you know, one of the big things that I've experienced, and this maybe is a good segue into stuff like Long U Caves, but These places around the world, once they get that tin roof, you already know what's happening. And it's ongoing. It's going on with Gobekli Tepe.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I'll just say it outright. The big conspiracy about them pushing back the excavations 50, 100 years or whatever they're doing, it's because they found a way to make money out of it. And I think it's as simple as that. Archaeology has stopped there or stopping there, like they've talked about and said publicly, not because they're waiting on new technology. It's because they found a cash flow.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I see it around the world at these sites that I visit all over the world. It's like all the same design. They get these roofs, these metal roof things. They get a drive and parking lot built right up to it so tour buses can pull up and load people. There's a ticket booth, an office or whatever right there. And they've excavated 5, 10% of the site usually. And they're fine with that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
In my opinion, Sacsayhuaman is a great example to explore that idea. I think that the cart ruts are tied into coring stone and that they served a purpose for movement. The archaeologists dismissed it because they knew that they had drastically rearranged the exterior of the structure of Chichen Itza.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And they stop there. And then it's just a tourist destination. I think Obekli Tepe, the numbers that I remember, I think, I might be off here, but it was like getting 6,000 to 8,000 visitors a year at some point. And now it's over half a million people a year. It's a big business. They're making money. It's a lot of income.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And then what starts happening is what's happening in China, unfortunately. It's the active covering up of history. They're changing everything about that site. So you go in there in the caves. Oh, awesome, here we are. None of that right there, those shots of the carvings and stuff, none of that's original. So apparently all that's been added after the fact.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. So having been to so many places around the world on every continent, you see the same examples of stuff repeated. And so, you know, we're not just talking about architectural engineering or these massive structures is the moving of megalithic blocks and stones and different things like that. But we're talking about symbology, myths, legends, all sorts of stuff.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And that aerial view there kind of gives you a perspective as these things are all underground. And even on the top surface as I was exploring that area, it's interesting because there's areas and stone outcroppings and stuff where there's evidence of possible... you know, ancient working and stuff.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
You know what, if we can hold here, this shot here shows the caves there at the bottom of the screen. But up on all those buildings there, all these buildings are being added over the area and over the site. So now if you look at the cave type system here, those are caves that haven't been drained yet.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And to the left of that, those buildings there, that's like the main entrance there to the cave systems down underground. And so this whole area that's covered by trees, underneath all that is Longview Caves. There's evidence in areas that you walk through through these trees. There's evidence of stuff above ground that was going on. They've just blown through certain areas.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So they've completely demolished rock outcroppings and stuff that have evidence of ancient drill holes and tool marks and stuff in them. And they've just blown through them to create pathways. And basically what they're doing, if you look down on the bottom right, So when I was there, that building structure there in the bottom right corner is still under construction.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And basically what they're doing with that building is turning it into the buildings like up there at the top right. And you can see that open area right above the building in the bottom right corner where that little space has been cleared. You can see they're setting up to build another building there. Now what you...
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
may not recognize is the top of the right of the screen there the very top right corner that's the river so that's how close you are to the river and just out of frame on the right side is the river now all of the rock and everything that's been excavated from those caves they've never found and we're talking about tens of thousands of tons of excavated rock that's never been accounted for and um
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So there it is. There's the whole complex.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But again, they haven't found that there at the river either, any evidence of that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Right. There's no buildup of excavated stone or buildup of rock. And basically what they're doing here is creating this... you know, entire, you know, what they're doing. Yangshan Quarry is a great example because they've already built this, like, village in front of Yangshan Quarry.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So you go on site, there's Yangshan Quarry, but then they've built this whole facility up at the front of it where they do these, like,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
you know like entertainment value you know um performances and different stuff with shops and things and they're turning into almost like a mini little amusement park but then back behind that is yangshan quarry that's what they're doing here this whole complex here is is all new and it's all to eventually facilitate this being a tourist attraction
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
and um so i don't know if you can kind of follow sort of in the middle of the screen there's a bigger building there um that's that one there that that one there is that's like the ticket booth office and from that parking lot there to its left you walk in go to the ticket booth office it was free when we went that day i don't know why
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
um because we didn't speak the same language them at the ticket booth and us english but um then you walk into the park so this is going to be designed out to be this whole kind of walkthrough experience and generally what it looks like they're doing is laying out this kind of cultural experience that you'll walk through with all those buildings and different stuff like that
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And then you'll go on and you'll do the caves. Now, when you walk into the caves, you go down into the caves and they're changing the interior of the cave. They're carving out the walls. Now, the walls show evidence of this patterning that you see a lot in ancient sites, which is this almost like parallel band and horizontal band of machining tool looking marks.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Almost like somebody took a rotor blade or something and just was going along it. And carving out the walls bit by bit. And they were doing it in these bands. Well, they've started carving into the walls. They put up lights and stuff, which are necessary. No fault there. But then they started creating things like ponds. Carving out ponds and filling them with water and putting fish in them.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So it runs the gamut on these different types of things around the world that all share these commonalities. all the way down to specific types of features within the stone working from, you know, nubs to pinch holes to the type of tooling marks left behind. They're all found in these supposed disconnected cultures around the world from supposed different time periods.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
and uh they've tunneled in in into the caves from cave to cave so when you see the passageways or the tunnels going from one cave to another those aren't original um and uh really changing the entire feel of the site now this is one of the first places that i went to when i first started filming and doing the channel it was like within the first year i think i went And who knows?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So you're talking like 2018, 2019, 2019? So who knows what it looks like now? I mean, the walls might not even be original anymore by now. My visa for China is still good, so I've thought about going back. I think it'd be really interesting to go back and check it out again and see what it looks like now.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Definitely to make it more touristy. They're capitalizing on the appeal and draw of it. So these are some good shots of that banding, that parallel banding that I was talking about.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
That's original.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
The column's original. But this gets into some really, you know, these columns are placed in such a way as to support, you know, their understanding of what they were doing there is incredible.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I believe so. I mean, the weight on top of it and the amount of space within there is massive. But everywhere that you see these carvings, these are not original.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, and you can see, just backed up a second or two on this clip here, is the entire length of that bottom wall is now carved out.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
and um you know it's it's really unfortunate because you see this happening all over china i mean there's places like uh you know i filmed the pyramids out in china as well and that while not off limits you can go you can you can walk up to it and explore it i did but they've planted trees on those pyramids They're not natural growth. They're laid out in rows.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So all of those pyramids have had trees planted on top of them intentionally. And you start talking about... You know, this gets into some of the stuff that's going on in Gobekli Tepe in Turkey is the controversy around these olive trees being planted on that site. It's ridiculous. And I fully reject any archaeologist who is...
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
saying things as asinine is that you know it's to preserve the site in some way we discussed earlier how damaging trees and vegetation can be to solid stone let alone some of these more sensitive sites where they could be really doing damage to things like these pillars or different stuff like that or or walls that aren't made of megalithic construction
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I mean, this is what reduces something like a pyramid in China to a pile of rubble within a few decades. I mean, it'll look just like a mound. It'll lose all semblance and shape of a pyramid within 10 to 20 years, if not sooner.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
so do you think that they're intentionally attempting to destroy ancient sites or at least i can't understand any other way to look at that yeah all right these are supposedly highly educated people and to to pretend and act as if they don't understand what's happening what what the amount of damage that those trees what do they should be petitioning to remove those trees 100 they talk about
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
holding off on excavation in order to preserve the site so when they can excavate it to a better to a better degree but that but then they're allowing that to happen it's ridiculous so i either have to assume that they are not as intelligent as they continue to love to perf to tell us that they are right and treat them as such or there's something else going on here um
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
which by modern understanding in some ways are separated by thousands of years and should have had no contact or understanding of each other. But you see these examples repeated over and over all throughout the world. And yeah, you know, what I keep seeing is things kind of, coalescing around specific date, like going back further than 10,000 years.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Because I've seen enough sites around the world, hundreds and hundreds of ancient sites and examples all over the world, and I'm intimately familiar with how well One tree can damage a site in the absolute destruction and damage. And not to mention that, you know, once these things grow to, you know, the ones on top there look much more mature.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
You're talking about root systems that can go down incredibly deep. So, you know, you can't... We'll see what they decide to do in the future, but the fact that they're not up in arms about this when they profess to be the people that are working in the best interest of preserving a site like this, it doesn't add up. It just does not add up.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And this is unfortunately something that seems to be going on all around the world. I referenced earlier, you know, when they all get these tin roofs, you know, I think that that is a clear indicator that the site has now been marked for profitability. That's the function of this place now.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. And that is the function of Gobekli Tepe at this point. I think the argument's over. Arguing back and forth with these people is like, you know... It's like trying to get a liar to admit to something. You're just not going to do it unless you put them in a corner and you have some kind of damning evidence, which would be a document or something proving.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But otherwise, I think, you know, look at what people do, not what they say. And what we're doing here is destroying an ancient site and not moving forward with excavating it and finding out anything more about it by saying that we're going to pause excavation on it for 50 to 100 years, for future generations. What is that? It's ridiculous. Here's what's really going on.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
They're making money off the site. And so they're monetizing the site to the best of their ability. And there's no need for further investment when what they have excavated so far is already capable of bringing in the desired outcome, which is the money. And that's what's going on.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And, and do I think I do, I think there's a bigger conspiracy there from people that are higher up maybe to hide history. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Um, how nefarious is that? Is it, you know, some secret society and organization? I don't know. Um, I don't know.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But generally, I don't think if we're talking about stuff like we've talked about here earlier, with these sites being inherited, more than likely, and we're working off that theory, Well, we have to assume that certain people in power or people, whatever, know that or have somewhat of an understanding of that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And there is a clearly going to be a push to maintain a certain sense of cultural identity, especially when your history is so... intrinsically tied to something like the pyramids or these great marvels of ancient history.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Long UK's is a great mystery. For sure, yeah. It's a huge mystery. I think sometimes maybe it gets overlooked because it maybe doesn't... You have to understand the level of work that went into this site. And China is one of those... There's a lot of sites that have quite an extensive amount of history written about it and records kept on things. But there's nothing to be found on Long UK's.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It's a total mystery.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Several thousand years. But then you get to places like Yangshan Quarry. And I definitely recommend people to go check out that video of mine, especially the drone video that I have, because it gives you a great perspective of that site. Now, it's been dated back to, I think, the 1400s. But here's the problem with that. Yangshan Quarry, first of all, it was excavated.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I mean, these are not blocks that could have been moved by anyone. I mean, these are blocks that are, these are megalithic quarrying done here at a level. That one specifically right there absolutely dwarfs Baalbek.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, so underneath, so on the left side there, there are cutouts at the bottom, and you can walk up in there. And so on my main video that's not the drone video, you can actually see me go in there. That's the smallest one there at the site. That's the smallest one.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Like where they were going to move it?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And the feel that I get walking these sites is that almost every major site, if not all of them around the world have been inherited by the cultures that we currently attribute them to. Um, And that is... The content that I put out generally, like we were talking before, I really want to inspire people to think for themselves. But as far as my opinion, so I'm not pushing an agenda or a thought.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Oh, I see what you're saying. Yeah, so there's evidence of the quarry. The nearby town has blocks from this quarry in it. And this, clearly, it does line up with the story around it, which is that it was going to be this monument, like this stelae. And it matches up with that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
The largest stone that I referenced there that we saw at the beginning of the video, the one that would have been the base, the one that's behind here that's real thin would have been the main body, and then this would have been the top. So shape-wise, it matches.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
What we have here, though, are a lot of, you can see the grooves and stuff on the outside of the stone, even in this picture from far away, a lot of them. But you have these massive nubs sticking out. Underneath the one in the back, there's all these, it's almost like a showcase of carved out stone and examples of cutting techniques underneath that thing in the back.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And as the video goes on, there's close-ups and stuff of that. But I question the date of this site as well. I almost feel like the writing that this was There you go. There's the massive one. And you can walk up in there, and inside of that, 16,000 metric tons.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So you can go up underneath that, and you have the same type of carved marks and looking almost like machining marks, different types of marks that you see kind of around the world up there. And you also have some of those examples of almost scoop marks right here all along the wall. You know, like this stone was just scooped out.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, so the quarry was used for stone. We have evidence of that. The stone's still being there within the city and its walls and different monuments and structures and stuff in the area. This... what is attributed to an emperor, I believe, back in the 1400s, who commissioned creating this massive monument, the Stele. I never know how to pronounce that. Stele, I think. Stele. S-T-E-L-E.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And that once they got to where they're at now, they realized that it was too big and they couldn't move it. I don't really buy that. You don't start a job like this and then get to the point of being like, oh, I guess we can't pull this off after all. These guys had enough understanding to know what they could or couldn't do.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I almost think this was a royal or the emperor or whatever taking credit for something. that it already existed here. So there's a good shot of that back column. And I do get down into the underside here on the video as well. But this is a really good example of I think an ancient site in China that deserves some more attention. And I'd love to see things like the pyramids get more attention.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And they really are kind of a mystery there. And it's just as baffling to me that they would plant these trees on this these pyramids the way that they have, like they've done at Gobekli Tepe, without some intent of covering up the history of it. It's very non-archaeological for archaeologists to be doing or supporting.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
yeah you know um i shared a bunch of a bunch of my work with jimmy recently he put out a video and dived into some of that of the you know the the theories that the the great wall is much older and that it was originally actually created to you know and there's evidence there of the wall facing inward towards china not outward
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
and areas where the aeroslits and things like that, and the steep parts and stuff like that are facing inward towards China, not outward. And I think that ties into a lot of the Tartaria stuff, you know, that there was a, which you see on the maps, these ancient kingdom of Tartaria being in Siberia, modern day Siberia. You know, and I'll tell you this, when I explored the Great Wall,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Um, those are some great shots. I'll, uh, you know, yeah, that's, that's great. That's amazing. You found this. Um, that's really amazing. You found this. I guess I was trying to recommend some of the stuff to Jimmy and I was, wasn't able to find, find some of it when we were, you know, uh, kind of collaborating on that video.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I'll tell you this, I went way off the beaten path in China for the Great Wall. So you have the section that's been completely rebuilt that are the tourist sections. And, you know, that's just, we can go into that a bit more, but they're doing that all around the world as well. I went way off and way into the mountains. And when I came into the wall, I was on the north side of the wall.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Usually what I'm trying to do is document the site and share that with the viewer. But... my opinion from what i've seen around the world at all these different these places everywhere is that there's a a common thread linking all of them together uh not not one common thread a rope of threads and
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I walked right up the wall.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
The outside of the wall, yeah. The Siberian side, like outside of China. and um there were plenty of areas where it was easy to scale up the wall from that side nowhere did i see and this is all in areas for miles that i walked nowhere nowhere did i see except for parts where it was collapsed was it easy to scale get up or get down on the china side of the wall
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And that side was always built in on cliffs or drops or things like that. And these are the areas that had not been restored. You know, we went way out. And then I walked for miles down the wall in a completely uninhabited area of dirt roads to get out there, then walking for miles down the wall. It goes that far? Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
That's crazy. Yeah, so, you know, I think there's a lot to be explored there or looked at there. And, you know, these things that I find around the world and notice and see... you know, speak towards a hidden history. And in my mind, lead a lot of, you know, support to the idea of exploring the questions of if everything that we've been told about stuff is, should we take it at face value?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And my answer to that question is no. Right. Right. that we should be asking questions regardless of whether somebody else tells us that we've already figured that out. I think that people like that shouldn't be listened to anymore. We've got to start over from the ground floor in a lot of areas.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
and ask ourselves if everything that we've been told is true or if it's been filtered through hundreds if not thousands of years of changes in government and societal ups and downs and people in positions of power who control narratives and all of that's been filtered through the dogma of the religion at the time or the political views or anything else.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And these stories and narratives and things have, in fact, become our history instead of the truth. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I think that's possible. I think it's an idea that should be explored.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
everything that i see indicates you know whether it's the construction as you go up levels in time getting less and less precise you know whether it's just feeling like you know the hieroglyphs or petroglyphs or whatever different types of stuff are carved into these structures feeling more like graffiti and not a part of that structure originally
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I think, um, and I do want to say, I didn't, I didn't think of this, this theory has been floating around for, for a while. I don't, I don't know who's, who's, who's ultimately responsible for it originally and noticed that I just happened to have gone there and documented it. And, um, I think there's a lot of people doing really good work with the research into Tartaria.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I think that as that continues on and is ongoing, I think that is probably where we'll get more answers rather than digging into China's history. Because if... portions of China's history are whitewashed, it's really good. Or it's old enough that it kind of holds water, so to speak, if that makes sense.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But the problem I have with a lot of that is we're seeing now actively China and China's government covering up now, right now, in modern times, covering up sites. Um, and, and, and, you know, the, the idea that, I mean, there isn't a scenario where it's not possible. It's completely possible that they're whole. And it's not China, just China, by the way. This is going on all over the place.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Their sites are all around the world. I mean, this is happening everywhere. At every major site, you go to Mexico, and these are all reconstructed sites. Chichen Itza doesn't look like Chichen Itza was found. It's an estimation. It's an approximation of what they think it look like. Teotihuacan, these sites in Belize, extensive amounts of sites in Egypt and places like that. Areas like Cambodia.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I've traveled around the world, all over the place and been to sites Where they are... I'm watching people reconstruct sites and take old ancient blocks and cut them with stone saws to make them fit into the wall that they're recreating for that site. So they're not... The idea that a lot of these sites, when they're rebuilt, that there was a level of intimate care put into reshaping them and
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
getting them back as close to an approximation of what they originally were by specialists and experts is not what's going on at the vast majority of these places around the world. I've seen it with my own eyes all over the world on every continent.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
a lot of times what they're doing is is taking modern equipment and cutting these pieces up the way that they need to go sometimes sometimes smoothing them out to make them look better or stuff but most of the time just taking them and fitting them in and then building the wall that they think used to exist there that's what's going on day laborers modern construction guys making minimum wage
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
whatever it is the handbags yeah all of this the walls right yeah the pyramids uh yeah there's a lot there's a lot of commonalities exactly and so I think um what what fits to me in my head is that there was some kind of ancient culture that was in connection, spanning the globe. I think it's, I think we see different, differing types of, of things across the world.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
in a poor country who are willing to work 12 hours plus a day in the jungle like cambodia and you know stack rocks basically so this is this is you know this isn't a This isn't specific to China. I didn't mean to go off on a rant there. I'll bring us back to China, but this is going on everywhere.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I don't know that Pomos, it took me a long time to grasp that as I've been traveling the world, visiting all these places. Because when I walk up to a place, Being overwhelmed with the sight of it. Like going to a place like Teotihuacan and walking up on these pyramids and just being just, wow, marveling at how impressively massive these things are. But then realizing this is all recreated.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Or Chichen Itza, realizing this is all recreated. Or, you know, take your pick. And which is why when I get to a place, which is why I've so enjoyed focusing on places like Yangshan Quarry or Sacsayhuaman or, you know, these types of places.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Right.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
But when you get to these places with megalithic construction, you know that this is the original state of the site. 100%, beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is what this looked like however long ago when it was made. Because this couldn't have been moved. No one's moved it. And we can't recreate that. So...
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It makes it really difficult because you go around the world to places like the Great Wall and you go to the tourist areas, it's all redone. For the most part, you're not looking at anything original anymore. You go to places like... It's sad. It's sad to see. I go to Egypt and you look at the Sphinx. They're completely encasing the Sphinx in modern stone.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
to the shape of the Sphinx, but they're covering it with modern stone. So I don't know how much longer it's gonna take for them to complete that, but the original shape and structure of the Sphinx will be gone. It's gonna be 100% gone when they finish, if they're not done.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, there's no way to know for 100% of fact that it was like that when it was originally built.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, and it's a pile of rubble. Here's the other thing is that's not the oldest picture. There's pictures of it in greater states of ruin with trees growing out of it as well.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
That's supposed to be a photograph, I believe.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
that serpent on the solstice but if they're actually adding stones to it and changing what the exterior looked like for the serpent to do what it does now they would have had to rebuild the site so that they they they wouldn't have been able to just excavate it and clear it and then have that happen
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So you get different things like when you, like what we were just talking about between Egypt and Peru, but a lot of the same types of features are still there. There's a stylistically maybe different, but, you know, I, I, I think that there was some kind of cataclysm that, you know,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Right, yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, which is what I believe they did.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
More than likely.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, Chichen Itza is a great example because there is documented proof here showing the state of ruin that it was found in. and it did not look like it looks today. And that's the case for the majority of the sites.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It took me quite a while of traveling the world to realize that a lot of times, not only am I not seeing what I think I'm seeing in terms of what this is, it's been completely reconstructed, but a lot of times what you're seeing that people don't even realize that they're seeing is plaster molds at sites. covering up entire faces and portions of structures. It's plaster molding and casing.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
There's quite a few sites in Belize like that. So it's not even stone. But Chichen Itza is a great example because that is one where it's, like we were saying, the serpent that comes down the stairs and stuff, That's not, they didn't, none of that was happening. None of that was happening when they found the site. I mean, look at the site. That's a great picture of before and after.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
The place was in total ruin, and it was a pile of rubble.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
The outside of the structure has been encased, and a lot of times what you'll see, I've seen, I've gone to places in various stages of reconstruction all over the world, and a lot of times what you'll see is behind these stones and the outside of the structure, take Chichen Itza here for example, if you removed some of these outside exterior blocks, right behind it is just a pile of rubble.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
They filled up... Does that make sense? So they filled it up with piles of rock.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Maybe there were different cultures, but they were all sharing these similar understanding of the world with which they existed in and how to do certain things. Similar technology. Right. Similar technology. And then something wiped everyone out and everyone had to start over. And now we're thousands and thousands of years removed from that. And so, of course, there's been all sorts of.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So if you peeled off everything from the bottom right picture, you'd get what's on the left. It's been reconstructed, the tops of it and around it. But the most extensive amount of damage has been done to the exterior of the pyramid going down. So that's, even in that picture there, on the left, those stone steps, that's recreated. So that's not excavated, they built that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And then they built, you can see if you go back down to that picture, you can see, do you see any snake heads there? Because I don't.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I don't see any railing going up alongside those steps. It's all recreated.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Which they are still digging and finding. But
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
That's crazy. Yeah. And we don't even, you know, most people assume that there's, like I was saying before, like most people assume that some
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
team of specialists and experts and archaeologists are sitting there sorting through every stone and trying to find and place them right back into their proper position that's not what's going on right right that's not at all what's going on in the reconstruction of these sites that's depressing i'll tell you so when you're traveling through mexico what you want to look for is first of all look for mortar because they'll use mortar and different stuff
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
and look for little dots. So in between the stones and the bricks, when they put these little dots in to the seams, it shows that it's been reconstructed. It's a signifying mark that they leave to show the reconstruction portions versus the original. And so when you go through Mexico and different places in Central America, you'll find that something to look for.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I wish I had a shot to show you, but if there's any kind of close-up shots you can find at Teotihuacan or probably even Chichen Itza, you'll find those dot patterns. And that's an area that's been reconstructed. And so the areas that are not reconstructed and that are original don't have that dot patterning between the stones and brick and stuff. But yeah, it is depressing.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And then you have things like what's happening at Longview Caves and different places where they're actively, purposely and intentionally changing the site.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I mean, Stonehenge is an original. Stonehenge is in its original shape. It's not like we found Stonehenge that way. I don't think most people know that. But Stun Hinge was reconstructed. We don't know that it was in that shape and stacked the way it was. When was it restacked? I think sometime around the turn of the century or 1900s, maybe. I mean, there's photographic evidence.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
you know, myths, legends, and things that have developed over the years being passed down from culture to culture. But even those still ring of similarities with each other. Um, but, uh, Yeah, that's kind of where I stand on it. Cool.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Just blocks lying around? Yeah. Wow. And then using and lifting them with cranes. Really? Yeah. Yeah, I didn't realize that. Yeah, and placing them like that. So there's a bigger picture to all of this stuff around the world. So it's not... You know, there you go.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
This is the price. This is the price you pay for peeking behind the curtain. And I can't, I can't emphasize to people enough that, The level of perspective that, you know, there's been arguments I've argued with people in the community about the importance of seeing things in person.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And one person specifically saying that it's not important that they can look at pictures and determine things for themselves. And you're wrong. you're absolutely wrong. You get a greater sense of perspective. You understand things better. You're seeing things in person. And I encourage anybody that's able to, to do it, to go see things in person. If you can, if you have the opportunity, do it.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Because it will change you. It will change your perspective on the world and things. And you're right, it is depressing. But it does give you a greater understanding of how important it is to question everything, to document things when you can, because they're not going to stay the same.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
The Sphinx that I've seen in my lifetime is not going to be the same Sphinx that the next generation is going to see. unfortunately. And for people who decide to, somebody out there maybe seeing this episode and decides that they want to go see Longyu Caves and explore China, it's going to be a very different China than the one that I saw just five, six years ago.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
The more practical thing to do is to leave all these sites in the state that they're in. I fail to see how reconstruction Chichen Itza is from archeological perspectives provides us any benefit at all. There's no archeological, what is the archeological benefit of building on top of that site or encasing the Sphinx? Yeah, just tourism.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
What is the, and I'd love for somebody in the archeological community to please answer that question. What is the archeological benefit of encasing the Sphinx in modern stone? What is the benefit to that? Well, it's only money. It's only turning it into a more appealing visual tourist attraction. That is it.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Because if archaeologists really cared about these sites, they would be fighting against restoration in the terms of encasing these places in stone, changing the structure and the shape in which they're found in, recreating and rebuilding them into some approximation of what they think it used to be. And not taking the time.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
If they said that they were halting excavation at Gobekli Tepe to slow down the process and look at every single pebble individually and try to place them together so that they were actually genuinely recreating the site, that'd be one thing. But they're not doing that. That's not what's going on. They're controlled by money and it's about money.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So these guys work for and say what they're paid to say ultimately. Now, maybe there was no handshake and agreement that was that specific, but that's what's going on here. If they don't toe the line, they don't get funding.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Because clearly it's a pyramid, right? And then clearly you can establish that you have tears, yes.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, trust the expert, bro.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, they're pulling off, there's plenty of examples of,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, I mean, and as you go down, it basically says, you know, that as interest continued to build, the Yucatan government decided to promote the idea in order to boost attendance. So we end up right back at what we were talking about, this always being about pulling in a crowd, generating money. Was there a shadow there?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, but do we know that it was designed in the way that it was designed to reflect or to have a snake shadow creep down the stairs? That's pretty cool. And it definitely could have been that. But it seems like the intent behind it wasn't. I mean, where was the original idea coming from here?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Mexico City attorney Luis Enrique Aroche Flores saw a photograph of the shadow, began telling people about it and linking it with the god Kukulkan. If we did that today, you'd be called, by the archeological community, you'd be an idiot. Yeah, they tell you you're a pseudoscientist. So what is he? Right, right.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I'm not saying it's wrong, or that he's wrong, but... But this is seen one time a year.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
it's incredible and i definitely want to say because somebody has put it out recently that was kind of funny to see who's had a lot of controversial stuff going on lately that it's that you can't get there and it's hard to go to which is absolutely not true you you you can just go to easter island yeah it's not hard at all and it's amazing it's like paradise um and uh
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
drastically rearranged the exterior of the structure of Chichen Itza. But now it's this big thing because it brings in people, brings in money. But the archaeologists of the time even dismissed it because they admitted and knew that they had so drastically changed the exterior and recreated the exterior of the structure.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, no way of knowing that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Right.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Correct.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
There's absolutely no way to say that the... I mean, the first attempt at rebuilding the stairs with recycled stones was later torn out and new blocks cut for the stairs. What they're saying here is that rebuilding the stairs, they used recycled stone. What they're talking about is scattered stone in the area.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So they didn't use any stones that they matched up to, knowing that it went to a part of a staircase for that area. Later torn out, new blocks cut for the stairs. So the stairs that exist now... or cut blocks that they made specifically, which means they designed the new stair system there. Because they were cutting stone to place in that.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And it is a little depressing, because you walk up on Chichen Itza, and it's amazing, I've been three or four times to Chichen Itza, and it's a great site. And clearly it was an ancient site used for stuff, and you know, But what you're seeing is not what was the original construction.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
probably one of the more shocking things was not the moai but the wall the wall amazing and that little block there it is yeah that's insane yeah it is basalt we were talking about that yesterday i couldn't remember you were you were right
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
but that's also, that's also assuming that they got the exterior shape down. Exactly. Correct. A hundred percent reconstruction. It absolutely is.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
right yeah and it's disappointing it's sad it's sad when you walk up in something that's so breathtaking and the idea of it in your head is just this amazing thing and you realize that it's just a recreation i mean this the original structure is still there but if you removed everything
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
um you know getting to the truth of stuff isn't always just this is is pretty and that's what they're doing with these ancient sites is they're making them all pretty um but i think the better story and the greater truth is underneath all that you know the facade of all of it the exterior these things that they're wrapping all of these ancient sites in and it is unfortunate you know but
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
you know, tying it all back in with stuff like Long Yu and different things and stuff that's going on in China is to say that there's not a, you know, there's actively a rewriting of history going on. It's false. There is. Or at least an ignoring of a lot of things that may be pertinent to digging to some of those deeper truths about stuff, inconvenient truths.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
yeah and it's exactly what you see in peru by supposedly two completely different cultures and it's i mean it's yeah it's wild it's wild what was it like to see that it was incredible um i was blown away because i wasn't aware of this until right before i was leaving to go there i didn't know that there was a wall there like that uh
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And it is important, I think, to see these places for yourself. It makes a difference, changes your perspective. You learn a lot of things worth knowing when it comes to identifying stuff and keeping an eye out for things. And it is a process. It's been a process for me over the years.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
You know, when I used to first go to all these sites and stuff, I'd try to learn as much about them as I could before I went. I wanted to sound knowledgeable and things on camera and talk about the history of them and stuff. And what I started realizing was that I didn't really agree with all of the history of it.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So it kind of started this going, well, I just won't talk about it, you know, at first. But I also noticed that I was, a lot of times because I had done research, on a site specifically, I was only focusing in on those things that were made really clear to me about the site of importance. And so a lot of times I go to sites and go straight to A to B to C.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And then I also realized I was walking past all kinds of intricate little details throughout these places.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I find now that it's a lot better to, maybe I don't come across so much as like knowing the history of a site, but I think that's a benefit in terms of my behavior because I'm able to walk these sites with an open mind and kind of a blank slate and pick up on things that I would have walked right past before.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
So, and slowing down, you know, I used to try to squeeze so much into it every day when I first started, maximize, you know, everything that I was doing. And now I really enjoy slowing down and taking my time at places, which has changed my travel habits a bit. And it's been enjoyable. But taking the time, being slow and intentional,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
has yielded a lot better results over the years um and how i used to do it just kind of like speed running sites you know uh trying to get as much content as i could possibly squeezed into a week or two weeks or however long i was in a country yeah but uh
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
yeah i mean it is it is it is kind of sad sorry i'm giving you such a depressing episode there but yeah no all good all good it's it's uh it's very enlightening i didn't realize that those two sites were were rebuilt like they were but um yeah yeah so what what content are you sitting on right now that's that's forthcoming on your channel you know i'm really excited to get i'm really excited to just to really start the actual video project side of the cart rut research
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
that'll be an ongoing project that's gonna i can see that one taking quite a while and quite a while i hope i hopefully it's out um i'd like to get that out before the cosmic summit um this year so i'll be on a panel there at the cosmic summit summit speaking um this year in june i believe and i'd like to have it out before them cool i'll be speaking there too oh nice yeah and then uh
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, that sounds right. And then...
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
the uh i'd like to get ball back out lebanon was just amazing i had a lot of sites in lebanon that were really off the beaten path lebanon lebanon was an adventure uh that's uh that's a trip i got shot at in lebanon up in the mountains there went out to uh i think a site called hosanisa that's it's sort of near about ball back and got got shot at up in the up in the mountains there
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
and had to take cover for a little bit huh what were you doing trying to explore this these ruins yeah yeah we pulled up into a site and parked and there there were these guys in the in a car parked there and uh probably looked like they were up to no good i don't know what they're doing at first i thought they were just like kids like smoking weed or something in a car i don't know um they grow a lot of weed out there and um
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And not only that, but you see the same type of construction in it with that little block, which is exampled in Peru as well. You can also find that in that type of design, I guess you'd call it, in Egypt and different places as well. You know, so there's... And then I also found it really fascinating visiting the quarry. There, and we'll get into that. But the...
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
we started walking up and they drove off and they went, drove off down the mountain and they started shooting up the side of the mountain at us. Wow. So that was kind of, that was kind of intense.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I guess so. I think they were probably trying to scare us. My cousin was running off and I kind of, I was like, I was, I don't know. I was all right with it. I mean, I felt like we were, yeah, I felt like we were in the best spot that we could be. Right. You know, I wasn't hearing anything like pop in there wasn't going by like the, they didn't sound close to the shots.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
They sounded in our vicinity. but I think they were just trying to scare us, but, um, but yeah, that was, that was interesting and exploring the sites and, um, these are actual ruins out in the middle of nowhere. They're just complete state of collapse and, um, you know, without any kind of, uh, anything around them or anything, you know, and, um, So I'd really like to get that content out.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
2025 for me is going to be about trying to take my foot off the gas. with the traveling and get all this content out that I've been filming for six plus years.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Exactly. That's a great way to put it. Exactly.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah. TM. Right. Matt Beal. Right. Right. Um, Yeah, no, that's great. Don't get me wrong, I already have some trips in the books, but the focus is going to be getting all this content that I'm sitting on. I was telling you guys the other day, I think I'm sitting on somewhere around 20 terabytes worth of footage of so many sites around the world. That's a lot. That's a lot.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I've got probably hundreds of videos that I could be dropping and putting out. So I just hate sitting behind the desk and editing. I want to be doing the traveling part. I think this year is going to be about getting things big enough that maybe we can park somebody behind that desk for me eventually and I can do the traveling more like I have been.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
this year is going to be about getting that content out so if if people enjoy what i do and they like my channel um it's good news for you because i'm going to have tons of stuff coming out this year from all over the place so easter island ball back angkor wat um all kinds of places uh egypt all over egypt some sites that i think might surprise people from egypt and um
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Yeah, it's going to be real fun getting all that content out and finally releasing it. Literally hundreds of sites from around the world that I've filmed already and have video content on. So we'll be focused on getting that. Just started a new business that people can support me on. I have a book coming out, speaking at the conference, and then we're working on a tour for Turkey next year.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I hope I can get that pushed out in the next month or two for people to check out. yeah, I'll have everything, um, that I'm doing outside the YouTube channel, uh, at some point posted up on my website at wandering wolf productions.com. And then, uh, obviously I'll be trying to get a video out every week here in the coming future. Hopefully sooner rather than later. Yeah.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
By the end of this month, I'm hoping to have that done and ready to go where we're getting something out every week. But, um, Yeah, a lot of good stuff coming out. I'm excited to share it and get through that part so I can get back to some more traveling, honestly, because that's what I really love doing.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I hope so. I hope more than anything... with what I'm doing. You'll hear me share my opinion, but generally I try to share things in such a way is that I'm just documenting things and sharing it with people. And more than anything, I hope that I'm able to inspire people to think for themselves. And also I've shared some of my personal story, how I got to where I'm at today.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And it's been a long kind of difficult road with things like addiction and different stuff and a lot of different loss and things and abuse in my life and things that I've gone through. And my hope is definitely to, if people hear that and it touches them in any kind of way, my hope is that people understand that with life,
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I think a lot of times if you choose to look at it a certain way, you really have a blank check. And you can choose to, you can write, you can literally write it for whatever you want. And you can wake up every day and try to cash that check. And I think sometimes it's easier if you're in positions like I was where you have nothing left to lose, that the only way to go is up.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
You know, these are massive blocks perfectly fitted together with precision placement and cuts and the same type of... You don't find... You know, any kind of deviation or break, just like in Peru. I mean, they're perfectly fitted together.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It can be really hard, but it can also be, in a way, a bit easy because there's... If you're in a place where you're so low in life... there is only one option. It's to go up or stay where you're at. Those are your choices, right?
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And so it's, if you're going to choose to try to do something different with your life, if you're not happy, if you want to do something else, if you want to take a chance and pursue something you're passionate about, whether it is ancient history or something completely different, just don't quit. just try.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It's better than if you're that low, if you're in a place where you're that low, it's better than where you're at. And, um, sometimes that's all it is, is just not giving up, you know, not quitting. And I, I, I do, I do hope that, that, uh, what I'm doing hopefully inspires people to maybe, you know, go out there and see things like we were talking about just a minute ago.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
It does, it does make a difference to see these places in person. And if you have an opportunity to do that, then you should, you should do, I, I, I so recommend that. And I think, um, I think that there's a lot of ways that people can contribute, especially in America. There's all sorts of interesting things around the country that people are completely unaware of.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
There's a huge amount of history here in this country and all sorts of wonderful oddities to explore and look at. I mean, there's massive geoglyphs here in the States and mound cultures with literally thousands upon tens of thousands of mounds all over the nation and things like dolmens and all sorts of things worth exploring.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And people can go just in your own area if you can't travel and do things. You can take pictures of stuff Yeah, I mean, these are geoglyphs in California that I filmed. You can go in your backyard, get plugged into a community, get yourself tapped into Twitter, and take pictures and share it. Get some new eyes and perspective on things. You never know what someone might notice that you didn't.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
Just contribute. Take pictures of stuff. Share it with people. Ask people what they think. Ask me what I think. Another thing you can do, as I just started, is this... If you want to follow me on Twitter, I just posted a thing asking for suggestions on places to visit in America. I want to start focusing on America with intent.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And as people are giving me suggestions, once I have enough suggestions, I'll run a poll, pick the top three places that have been suggested. I'm gonna run a poll here in the next few days. And whoever wins that, I'm gonna immediately go to that place, whatever the winner of that poll is, immediately go to that place and film it, document it, and put out a video.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
And I'm hoping to do that quarterly this year. but at least several times this year and i think that's a great way for people to get involved so if there's something that you've always wanted to see filmed or you think's worth of note follow me on twitter recommend the place on there share a picture with me if you have one And I'll try to check it out and film it. I'll go there.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
I'll go there and do it. Yeah. And so people can get involved even if you can't be a full-time content creator. You can be a part of the process for sure in some way.
Matt Beall Limitless
Exploring Ancient Mysteries: Peru, Giants, and Lost Civilizations | Michael Collins #35
These quarterly wanderings. Yeah, these quarterly... You got to... My output needs to exceed my... I'm going to have to figure out what the percentage, the ratio there is of output versus input content and get that down. So math has never been my strong suit, but we'll figure it out.
Snapped: Women Who Murder
Aria Armstead
Yeah, he got himself in some trouble. He's had a rocky road.
Snapped: Women Who Murder
Aria Armstead
Did he have any drug issues? His dad had seen some behaviors in Matthew that were concerning. The concern for Matthew being back on narcotics was it was out there.
Snapped: Women Who Murder
Aria Armstead
Francesca's the one that's been telling me, they call me, tell me things. And every time, it's something different. Ever since the second day he's been gone, she's made remarks like, Oh, he's probably being held against his will somewhere, or he's dead. You know, just little stuff like that.
