Graham Hancock has written several books about this and he's also been on Joe Rogan's podcast a few times. Worth checking out as long as you don't mind his interest in psychedelics or his assertion that modern archaeology clings to antiquated theories about the origin of culture in the Americas
@@veritasaequitas9277 yeah, but eve he gets a lot wrong about latin america. Fills in too many gaps w his creative thinking. Makes me doubt he actually took into account any of the earliest native accounts about these histories
@@cesarperez10 Yes, he's got plenty of detractors, and much of what he said decades ago has since been proven true, so maybe time will sort out some of his more creative theories
@@veritasaequitas9277 Okay but I just googled him and he's not even a specialist in any type of archaeology or whatsoever... He's just a writer with a creative mind, nothing more.
@@anini5651 That's exactly how worried academics dismiss him. For your next Google search, try "Gobekli Tepe." According to Academia, it shouldn't exist. And yet it does. Pretty sure Brien Foerster has a video of that site
That museum in Mexico City is is unbelievable i spent a whole day there and it still wasn’t enough the way it’s set out the history from different regions is incredible also I lived in Mexico City and don’t be put off by notions of a crime ridden Latin American city that’s far from reality in fact you won’t believe how modern large parts of it is feeling Safe wonderful green parks to walk people as far as shopping malls and restaurants it’s far ahead of anything tired And expensive Europe has to offer that’s for sure i highly recommended a trip
There were many wheels found in toys and weaving tools. These wagon toys look similar to any animal pulled pulled carts or farm implements. What's thought is that because mesoamerica had no large enough draft animals to make carts useful, the wheels weren't used in that way
@@cesarperez10 I do not know about you but moving those megalithic stones could have used the wheel. I think they saw what the wheel meant, the bite of the apple that they didn't want any part of. Look what the wheel has done, tech is not everyone's friend. Who knows, but if it were me and I saw the wheel roll/turn/spin/move, I would have immediately put it to use. I am sure the pully would have been useful, they must of used it to lift those giant stones above ground and out of quarry pits.
@@dagwood953 Watched 80 hours of Brien's work and read that many times. I have little belief about acoustics, when materials hit resonance they break apart if it is lattice, quartz would shatter, no, sound was not used.
peoples eyes vary alot in shape, it does not indicate aliens. The san bushmen for example have very almond shaped eyes. We have no idea what the ancients looked like.
I visited the anthropology museum twice with my mom first and secondly with my cousins. I was a little boy when I went both times and I was totally impressed. I hope to go back to Mexico City and visit soon, its an amazing city
It is an amazing city my friend I highly recommend to people from Europe it’s actually far a head of most European city’s these days both for safety and the malls restaurants services wonderful green parks the view from the castle is incredible in its self also of course a trip to the pyramids just outside the city is a wonderful day out aswell
Thank you so much, for someone who cannot now travel, it is wonderful to be able to see these interesting sites and really interesting artifacts, wonderful, thank you so much, always so informative!
In my geology books Basalt is a "dark and fine-grained" rock as opposed to the lighter rock called Basalt in this video. I know that the ambient light and the roughness of the rock rendered in a video can change the reflection and impression, but without calling the rock in question 2:18 for "sandstone" I think it has the reflection of a sandstone and must be a local variant of Basalt I haven't seen before. Also the finish and rendering of natural shapes is very different from sculpture to sculpture varying from rather primitive to sophisticated. This testifies to different cultures and different levels of tools.
Tenochtitlan: Te, from tetl = stone or rock; noch from notchtli = prickly pear cactus fruit (specifically from the nopal cactus that grows on rocky lands); titlan = related to land or place. Therefore it means: the land where the prickly pears from the nopal (that grows on rocky land) grow abundantly.
Interesting Brien. You've nailed it at 8:55: "they were made by a lost ancient civilization, and were inherited by the Olmec..." Great research. I keep wondering how the officials can be so blind to not understand these obvious anomalies.
I think the transparent spindle at 9:02 is even more astonishing. I haven't seen any quartz crystal object, that is flawless like glass. I doubt we are even capable of doing this.
He just makes a blank claim without a base on any fact. Okay we dont know, so they must be made from an old civ. It just doesnt work like that. Im very interested in these anomalies but I dont like the constant "so its made 10k years ago"
Exactly what I was thinking. The Aztecs where an advanced civilization and very capable of high technology. I don't like when people come up with their own theories without any real research just because it doesn't fit their world view. There are things the Aztecs did that we don't understand because unfortunately they were utterly destroyed. Nevertheless, the ruins and artifacts left behind are impressive.
There no evidence they could be from "a lost ancient civilization", you're not giving enough credit to the old artesians who made these pieces, which had not only the skill but also the knowledge to made them, they were highly trained people who spended most of their lives making these complex pieces
Was there a few days ago. Went on a whim when I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do and I was impressed.. definitely recommend if you find yourself in cdmx.. it was entrancing and surreal being that close to so much ancient culture.. I especially loved the early human/ neanderthal room..and the huichol Indian exhibit was Amazing as well as the giant Aztec calendar.. 10/10.

Also travelling on Mexico City’s underground is not only basically a dollar a day buts it’s another world really safe for women and children who can even enjoy the front two carriages with no males in at all police everywhere and clean like you would not believe warning my wife says during rush hours the women only carriages are more rougher than the men’s 😜 she’s says that tongue in cheek because the women apparently often end up arguing but bear in mind that’s only rush hour and especially in the station near where we lived which is pantitlan the first station on the metro line 9
Mr. Forester Thank you for all the information you provide with your videos. I have been following you since the beginning of your postings. I have a question about the Island that was the Aztec settlement. Is there any indication of how deep the water may have been surrounding the Island ? What were the length of the causeways that provided access to the Island? Thanks again.
Using Google maps you can start at Palacio Bellas Artes and end at Chapultepec Park. That is a 6.4 km stretch, which was one of the three causeways. Depth of the water would depend on the rainy season in Summer, and on the melting snow from the volcanos during Spring. There were actually five connecting lakes each with different depths.
in New Zealand Maori descendants still work Jade, and turn then into jewels, maybe take a closer look how they do it? It is only the chiefs and their sons that can work Jade...there seems to be a link between Middle and South American and New Zealand's dna...
3:41 - the normal view of the calendar. My research 18+ years ago found a calendar engravings that was over 6% off angular turned. This photo I saw had the clock was not a perfect - inclined example. The photo I am talking about gave information that the calendar had wheels that could turn on many axles. Please let me know if you have found any photo of the Calendar off axis. Thank you.
You're wrong, the discs ARE made by Olmec and Maya artists. Perfect round stone carving technology is found all across boht North and South American Indigenous cultures. In Caddoan areas of the Mississippi Valley and neighbors, perfectly smooth and round "chunkey stones" were made in hundreds and thousands for a ceremonial game. In Chile and Argentina, thousands of perfectly round sphere stones have been found, in various sizes, like perfect small scale versions of the Olmec stones. They are also found in parts of the East Coast of North America and elsewhere in Mexico. All sorts of Indigenous cultures across many time periods from 2000 BC to 1400 AD made perfectly round rings, spheres and other forms by the thousands. It's not at all "impossible" and is a widespread pre-machine skill. They are also found in Southeast Asia.
The features of the Olmec heads are very common among native Mexicans, especially in the regions of Veracruz and Tabasco, as well as in the Sierra de Puebla. Although, yes, Praven Mohan could be a "Jarocho"
The conkistadors burned all of our history books.mexicans have no history because of spain.mexicans only know they used to sacrifice people and they were conquered by spain
Flying people means: a men can be fysical at four parts, when two men and woman holding hands together, four times a middle is 4 walls 4 connected energies 4x 9 milles of energy stone walls 15 miles high is like 5 km up from earth to heaven.
Four walls gives you Six sides and forms a Cube collapse the top of the Cube or bring the heads together (a meeting of the Minds) you form a Pyramid. The Great Pyramid to be exact... This can also be seen as a Vortex or as David La Point called it a Primer Field there Two one at the North Pole and one at the South Pole...
My god, here we are again with a people with no metal- only stones- creating beautiful stone objects we’d struggle to copy today. There’s a pattern of this all over the planet.
Just because your told something doesn't make it true do you think metal didn't exist in Mexico but it did everywhere else, we been given a false timeline as seen around the World...
@@reneebarnes2632 I certainly think these ancient yet so advanced people had help from a higher source from somewhere, who isn’t around anymore for some reason.
@@brienfoerster Don't get me wrong I love watching your video's and am a subscriber. But logically, these things have to be made by pouring. Why won't you look in to it? Even if you can't explain it, clearly they are poured, and stone is melted in some cases.
Why did the higher civilsation go to great lengths to sanitise all of the sites/cities by stripping them of all technology, then destroying many of these citites by flood or outright physical demolition, who and what angered them to this mass extinction event ?.
That is overly-simplistic. It is true that what is now in museums is due to primarily its scale and weight. Things that could not easily be moved. Yet, if you go to Austria you will see everyday artifacts such as furniture, musical instruments, jewelry, shields, and head dresses.
Just thinking about the Force (an Energy Force) that surrounds us all yet can't be seen until the right conditions exist and then Bam a lightning bolt comes from the Heavens...
@@karychannon1675 What I want to do is rent a car in Cancun, drive to Puerto Vallarta and fly home. Because on that trip you'll see volcano national parks and who knows what else. And I'll GoPro it all the way.
Evaluate your phrasing critically, Brien. A European speaking to the ancestral capabilities of a people hosting him in their land: "your ancestors were too primitive to have made this, it must have been an as yet unidentified culture which is responsible for these works of art." This is just like the mounds in the Southwestern United States: "your ancestors could not organise such an effort as this, it must have been Europeans a long time before your people arrived." Of course it was only when the mounds were excavated that the indigenous peoples of the SW were understood to be the creators of the great mounds and works of land art. We do not know of any technology, lathe or otherwise, which might have had the capability to create those wonderful objects, but it is more outrageous and condescending to claim that some older more advanced people created these objects, than to claim that the technology to create these objects, during this period, has yet to be understood. Experimental archaeologists, for example, are showing how the famous Pre-Dynastic Egyptian granite vessels could be made using only lithic technology, which match the jade and crystal artefacts of the Maya in elegance and refinement. Loved the video though, just thought I'd mention.
Paloma or Bird or Vogel means when all energies are connected then the bird is flying again men looking for a woman, to make a birdbaby and he become men.
K-2019 the French guy figures out how the made the pyramids of Egypt. Concrete babe!!! Then showed the rest of the world. Look it up! Mind blowing but so smart. Cheers.
BRIAN, DON'T YOU THINK IT'S POSSIBLE THAT THE TOOLS THAT WERE USED TO MAKE THESE THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN WITH THE PERSON TO HIS NEXT JOB? JUST LIKE A MECHANIC OR A BUILDER DOES TODAY. IN MASONRY OF OLD THE MASON WOULD TAKE HIS TOOLS WITH HIM AS HE WENT FROM JOB TO JOB. I WOULD THINK IT WAS VERY SIMILAR IN THOSE TIMES TOO. SO IF THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED THEN THERE WOULD BE NO TRACE OF THEM AT ALL. THERE IS ALWAYS THE CHANCE OF FINDING SOME OF THESE TOOLS IF WE DIG DEEP ENOUGH. WHAT A GREAT JOB YOU ARE DOING. I TRY TO WATCH EVERY VIDEO YOU PUT OUT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
yeah. they should dig 90ft at the Sites. I bet they would find a lot of unbelievable Stuff and some answers down there ! I believe that they had steam machines and Balloons
@@brienfoerster, SO GLAD TO HEAR YOU SAY THAT BECAUSE AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE REMARKED ABOUT HOW THE SAME STONE TOOL MARKINGS HAVE BEEN FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD LEADS ME TO THINK THAT MASONS WHO LEARNED THEIR TRADE AND BECAME MASTER MASONS WERE GIVEN THE RIGHT TO TRAVEL TO DISTANT LANDS AND WORK THEIR TRADE. AS YOU MAY KNOW AT THE BUILDING OF KING SOLOMON'S TEMPLE THERE WERE TWO PILLARS, ONE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE AND ON TOP OF EACH PILLAR SET A GLOBE. ON ONE GLOBE WAS THE STAR FORMATIONS ALL AROUND THE WORLD, ON THE OTHER GLOBE WAS A DEPICTION OF ALL THE CONTINENTS OF THE WORLD. THEY KNEW THE WORLD WAS ROUND AND THAT THERE WERE OTHER LANDS FAR FAR AWAY. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE MASTER MASONS OF THAT ERA TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES TO WORK THEIR TRADE AROUND THAT WORLD THEY KNEW EXISTED . AS THEY TRAVELED THEY WOULD APPLY THEIR TRADE AND TEACH OTHERS TO BE MASTER MASONS AND CARRY ON THE TRADE IN THAT AREA. THEN THE MASTER WOULD MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AREA UNTIL HE EITHER WORKED HIS WAY AROUND THE WORLD OR DIED.
The coiled snake reminds me of early Egyptian carvings. There had to be an advanced culture in the Atlantic that shared its knowledge both east to Egypt and west to the Americas.
has anyone ever considered the possibility that the aztec/maya/inca-cultures were actually just copying the style & symbolics from these magnificent basalt carvings & megaliths they found and reused them in their own, much more primitive art, rather than creating all of them by themselves? i don't think it makes very much sense to assume that they were somehow able to carve basalt with basalt/obsidium to that astonishing detail present in this so called "aztec stone art" for example.
Geez... No, Tenochtitlan does NOT mean "the place of prophesy". It means "The Place of the Nopal". That is what it is represented with a nopal cactus with an eagle on top. And no, there was no "prophesy" about the eagle at the nopal. That was INVENTED by Tlatoani Itzcóatl after the Mexica became the dominant group in central Mexico. Itzcóatl ordered a burning of history books and to re-write history with that made-up "prophesy" to make the Mexica seem "divine." In reality, the Mexica were allowed to live at an island in lake Texcoco by Tezozomoc, ruler of Azcapotzalco, in exchange for tribute (taxes) and men for mercenary assignments. The Tlaloc sculpture is NOT of "mysterious" origin. It was found north of Mexico City in a place that used to be a sort of workshop for Teotihuacan. That particular monolith was abandoned and left unfinished at the workshop. It was used as a picnic table by many people over the years. Then, in the 1960s, it was moved to Mexico City as a decoration for the National Anthropology Museum. Another mistake: The sculpture at the Mexica hall at the museum are not that "ancient". The sculptures are no more than 800 years old, which is when the Mexica arrived in central Mexico. Creating basalt sculptures without metal is actually pretty simple. It can be done with other stone tools and the quartz in sand. AND, the Mexica did have limited access to bronze tools from the Michoacan region. Why limited? Because the Tarascans of Michoacan were not allies of the Mexica. The Sun Stone was found for the first time during colonial times and then it was re-buried by order of the catholic church. It was unearthed for the second time in the 19th century. No, Chac Mool was not a deposti for fruits and vegetables. It was specifically designed as a table for human sacrifice and as a depository for the human heart that was extracted from the body. The Chac Mool (which is not its actual name, but a Mayan name given to the figure) has been found in central Mexico, in Yucatan and in Michoacan. It is intended as part of sacrificial rituals for the local version of the rain god. Carving obsidian can be done with other stones. The Mexica used obsidian to make weapons in that fashion. Polishings and molding obsidian can be done with sand. The quartz in the sand will mold the obsidian. Circular forms can be done by hand by drawing a circle over a flat surface using a stick and a string as a rudimentary compass. There's nothing special about it. To suggest that they couldn't have been made by the Olmec or the Maya or the Azteca is, quite frankly, offensive. (I'm Mexican.) The clay figurines look "alien" because they are CARICATURE representations, not portraits. Portraiture in Mesoamerican imagery only existed during the time of the Olmec. Afterwards symbols were used to REPRESENT people, characters and ideas. Thus, you will see figures with slanted eyes even in post-conquest codex drawings.
When are you going to realize there was a more highly development civilization on earth that accomplished ALL the unexplained structures & artwork. Pre-dating ALL recorded history.
You should keep your comments to yourself. Deciding that the Indigenous peoples of Mexico were not capable of creating beautiful works of art just because they did not have metal tools reflects more on your prejudices than on the truths. There are no "lost cultures" that made these works of beauty and then handed them off. The Indigenous peoples of the Americas have always been extremely talented artisans. You would do well to pick up a book or two and do a little reading. White new age theories have no purpose in Indigenous cultures.
Mr. Foester,nice video but you are wrong in many points.Just two of them you mede in the beginning.The people who arrived to the place later was Tenochtitlan weren't the "aztecs" they were the "mexicas",and they did not do "artworks" in the real meaning of "art",they build religious works.Regards
This figure is of a black man and a little Asian you see what lips he has and what nose. It is clear that Aztecs have nothing to do with all those buildings or sculptures
why wont anyone tell the truth? there in the ASTRAL REALM. like NO ONE has ever told you that. your right there are no extra terrestrials. those things are made of pure light.
Genesis 6:4 KJV, Numbers 13:32-33 KJV, Ephesians 6:12 KJV Judas 1:6 KJV/ 2 Samuel 21:22 KJV/ Judges 1:14-15. Like or not these ancient beings that constructed all of these megaliths were of a demonic humanoid hybrid species, half Homosapien Sapiens and half fallen angelic beings hybrids if you will, just like Hollywood almost depicts them.....
i dont have the patience to explain it all, but the bible and every other mythology play out on the tree of life. the beings are light. they have a vibration, which you could call a conscioussness, but there all emanations from God and they all dwell with in u. just depends on which ones your projecting. this 3d construct theyve built around "the gods" is nonsense. that is all.
@@benvinar2876 that's okay. I am quite versed in this area, I have seen things that very few get the chance to using the third eye, do I believe in spirits, yes, do I think god exists, yes but not in the traditional sense. I do not need a book to know that it exists, which is why I learned about plants over the past 20 or so. Have you managed to see and hear things that are not materially there? If you have then you know what I mean.
