The Strangest Structures of Ancient Peru 

Old Peru is a whole world on its own

Production value, and lack of "highly compelling" retellings of fluff bits, over, and over, and over, is appreciated. Y'all aren't as prolific as other channels i watch, with similar subjects, but the individual videos are superior, and far less redundant. Thanks

I don't believe it! Awesome, simply AWESOME! No bullcrap, just footage and concise details. Absolutely fantastic!!

No over dramatization, nobody wanting us to focus on their face, images of the actual topics. Ya nailing it, my fellow man!

I've been interested in ancient sites for a while now and had never heard of any of these mind blowing locations. Thank you, that was an incredible documentary.

More information in this video than we get from a dozen videos from some producers! Thank you for all the work assembling, editing, writing and narrating. This is one video that I will have to review a few times to absorb all the connections.

The graphics and blueprint designs were a huge help!

Thanks for pointing these out - they may not be as impressive as totally megalithic sites, but some of those details are fascinating and the implications of them in our ancient past are incredible. Man, how I wish I could travel around and study these archaeological sites.

Wonderful video! I could have watched another hour of this. Pikillacta 🤯 W O W ! The number of people and the tens of thousands of man-hours expended in order to construct this facility is just mind blowing. I'm glad that there are archeological studies now. I would love to know more about these civilizations.

Preu is a amazing country the more I learn about the place the more iam amazed a lot of people talk about ancient Egypt but for me ancient preu is just as remarkable surly at some stage this was the most advanced civilisation on earth I dream one day of visiting there if anyone has any recommendations of where i should visit please write me back 🙏

fascinating, i have been interested in this subject for many years and to see things i have never seen before is so refreshing.

I love it when I see vids like yours that shows me an entirely new ancient structure. I’ve seen every major interesting ancient structure I think and I’m so insanely wrong. New ones continue to be shown and continue to appear and be uncovered. So amazing.

Wow a real video. No copy of a copy of a copy of a copy. Thanks so much.

This is so fascinating. I'm very interested in the ancient cultures of S. America, but this is the 1st time I've seen these sites. Thanks so much for this video.

An incredible documentary. The mismanagement of mans history for profit and power has left gaping holes in the current narrative that need to be addressed. Thank you to you and your team of dedicated individuals who continue to do so. Keep up the good work. 👍😁

I watch ancient construction and technology type docs so much and I've never heard of alot of this stuff. Thanks for some awesome content Ombio! So interesting!

Fascinating stuff! I've never heard of most of the sites mentioned, and the production value is fantastic!

Chanquillo temple-fortress: Fascinating! The concentric precision, the solstice and N/S orientations of structural aspects speak to sophisticated engineering and precise geometrical layout skills. As do the survivals of the many remarkable macro geoglyphs and megalithic construction located in different regions of Peru. I think Peru has some of the most interesting survivals in need of better understanding. Where are the scholarly Archeologist? Excellent video, well done! TY!

Incredible research to find these very unknown locations, top quality production and filming, great explanations. One of the best channels from any site for this kind of content. Love it.

There is a very strong resemblance between Piquillacta and the structures at Chaco Canyon in that many of the "rooms" have no entrances or windows, no signs of soot resulting from lighting, and they were both deliberately abandoned in such a way that the site were stripped of everything but the structures itself.

I lived in Peru for about two years. I lived in the city of Piura. We visited the beach often and on our drive to the beach we would cross over or even drive through similar "lines". I was a teenager at the time (1972 - 1974) and had never heard of the "lines" such as the Nazca lines. They made an impression on me for being so straight and clearly man made. Maybe there are lines all around Peru. What if the lines and structures were made before the Younger Dryes event? That would explain the discontinuation of some, the washed out area of some and other things.

Fantastic work! Thank you very much for your continued passion and effort. Your videos are incredibly thought provoking and evocative. 10/10 production

Once again, the least popular ancient sites are the most interesting! Great job.

This was amazing. I have never seen most if not all of these places. Made me feel as if I was there on an adventure. Thank you.

Thankyou for the up close and ground views. Give such a better perspective of these ancient wonders.

Chanquillo was not a temple or fortress - it was a storage facility for people who were living in a tough climate. Food and/or goods stored in round structures, rectangle structure was an administrative/security building for the complex. The entrances limit the flow of people in and out, as well as providing an easy area to defend for security - only single file human entry possible. The fact that there is a hill higher than outer wall perimeter means nothing for defense during the age of simple swords and spears. We have always been "squirreling" food and goods as humanity throughout history - that's why we are still here today. The valley floor covered in broken pieces of pottery supports this idea: massive amount of people bringing and removing items from this location over an extended period of time. I believe we tend to overthink some of these ancient sites as more grandiose and mysterious than what they actually were intended to be used for, by the people who built them. Regarding the alignment and shapes of this structure - we usually do not build ugly things, we take pride in ourselves and our work today. I'm sure it was no different for ancient people - they built beautiful things because they could, and they took pride in their accomplishments.

A great hidden 💎 gem of a documentary. Love the new sites & perspectives.💖

Excellent documentary! Great images, music and 3D WORK, Also VO : ) Thanks!! Love your films.

Excelente trabajo, fantástico, perfecto, maravilloso, grandioso, GRACIAS

I think it’s absolutely incredible that the Inca found megalithic structures and built upon them. You can see the megalithic polygon on seamless construction of the ancients below and the smaller anchor construction above. Thank you

I think that the numerous rooms could be functional as a seed-bank, along with many separate yard areas for testing crops and isolating male and female plants for breeding purposes. If you look at the thousand of varieties of corn and potato in Peru, you can conclude that large seed banks would play a role in their culture. Agriculture is also given by the gods so it makes sense to see agricultural facilities crossing over with spiritual functions.

Thank you for this incredible production!! Entirely amazed especially for those of us deeply fascinated by these ancient civilizations and who've spent so many hours on Google Earth completely bewildered and amazed by such vast complexity, it's wonderful to finally see it up close and within historical context! Peru is underrated as a "Cradle of Civilization" and is one of the greats like Egypt, Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley as well as others such as Mesoamerica and the Danube civilizations and is as old or older even! If you could do a documentary on their seafaring capabilities, it would be much appreciated! I would expect it to be an overwhelming realization as well, especially when science coins Polynesians as the great oceanic voyagers which one cannot delineate or take the pride of that reality from the ancient peoples, however, traces of ancient civilizations from the America's is evident within other major civilizations and I would love to see Peru take its proper place in the world!

They were Master Farmers, the were for Irrigation. Water is Life for all Humans, the "Rivers" just eroded around them. The Narrator has a brilliant voice, his English is Flawless.

Wow.....this is great! Thank you so much.The speaker has a beautiful and warm voice and these places I have never seen. The video has a wonderful atmosphere.

Thank you so much. Most people show the same old sites over and over.....for those of us who actually want to learn something NEW this is a breath of fresh air. Id much rather watch this then some over rated regurgitated BS. Very appreciated.

it's just too depressing that Peru is destroying these amazing places

This chanal is my hypnotherapy .. i admire the whole creation of it same as these blow minding ancient structures

Fascinating! Beautifully captured.

This was a terrific video. I was able to follow the ancient road in Piquillacta with google maps, and was able to search the surrounding area for any continuation. that was fun. It was almost like I was there.

Pikillaqta looks a lot like a giant microchip, and the fact that it has isolated spaces it's really curious to say the least.

Very Nicely Done, Great Footage. I never ever heard of these amazing Places before! That said my interest in this kind of things is now over 40 Years ongoing, I can't believe not reading or seeing of any of this before... Thank you for bringing them to a wider Audience. Greetings from Germany Marc

Excellent reportage ... low key, no hype; very much appreciated.

damn i want more of this. also music was dope. superb drone shots.

2² km complex of isolated cubes rooms, with 3 story tall walls?! What could it be... The Ark of Viracocha?? Looks like an extremely well organized Zoo... Could maintain thousands of different species, all in 2² km... Blows my mind ! 🤯🤯🤯

This was a wonderful watch.. Thank you for delving into the lesser known, and not dwelling on sites that are so well and regurgitated to death. Looking forward to diving head first into the rest of your content.

nagyon igényes értékes film, köszönet a készítőknek

I really enjoy your videos! I've seen them all and get really excited when I see a new one come out! I only wish there were more to watch! I'm very much into ancient architecture, especially in Peru and Egypt. From your videos, I have learned a lot about some sites I had no idea existed. Thank you!

Nice to know more of a not famous site from Peru.

Wow, hadn't heard mention of any of these mysteries... thanks!

Fascinating stuff. Great video thanks!

Complimenti, non è il solito video che si vede su RU-vid è una novità molto interessante e piacevole.

My god....my mind is blown,the 2KM long building is enough...

Recarding Casma, I would invite you to consider the Ruin called "La Cantina", one of their corners rise also creating a precise 90° angle. I think this place looks like the house of the Priest from Chankillo. It is very close to the main ruins. The laberint doors at Chankillo reffers to two periods of the year. 6 months in one direction, 6 months in the other direction, which are related two the year round 13 towers. The four Seasons.

Thank you so much for this amazing video!🙏🏼

You're right. These discoveries are as amazing as they are perplexing.

Great job Igor!

Very interesting, thank you

The details given allowed me to 'crack the code' at to the function of the complex, great work, Ombio!

Great work here. Ombio is a favorite and would like to see more from them.

Im a Mexican architect discovering my passion for ancient structures , and lost technologies, i went to Perú 5 years ago, i wasn't able to see these places, but I've seen some other spectacular ones, I'm pretty sure not even Peruvians are interested anymore, but people like yourself from other countries can bring up more research. here and in other locations around the globe we have evidence of ancient connections to other places, communication between nations, global wars, and other lost ways of transport and tools , technologies now long lost and forgiven, imagine our metal aleation stones in the future they will think we were crazy adoring phones etc. You should put subtitles in spanish for your videos so the people of these nations can be more interested and invested in finding these technologies and information that can be of help for our present and future , i can talk for mexico as well because not all people of these nations can understand inglish, im pretty sure the vatican have lots of answers hidden in its library. Because the world history and human civilization is more complex and with more longevity. I can help you with subtitles in spanish if you need. Thank you for everything cheers.

I find this.. highly compelling

This was phenomenal!!!

The tranquillizing and Shamanic narration has induced momentary amnesia... 30+ minutes into the film and the only thing i can remember watching was the Casma? lines.

thanks for a very informative, minimally speculative and best of all non-sensational delivery. The structures are mysterious enough without all the "amazing" adjectives usually found in these types of videos. I look forward to more from you. Thankyou

Peru is a very mystical country 🇵🇪🤝✨✨

Cool, I learn something new about ancient Peru. Never seen some of these structures before.

Amazing thorough documentary, thank you for sharing!

Also, about Chanquillo, the arial shots, especially at 28:16, make the careful, full destruction look more like not-so-perfect-to-begin-with walls falling slowly over as thousands of years have passed. Just gotta say it. So not really looking like enemy destruction, not really looking like filling in a ritual site in a place with a number of them like Gobekli Tepe. The word "abandoned" with all the connotations the word has in Detroit, Michigan (USA) comes to mind. That would also carry an explanation of why it looks like no one thought the knocked over stone was a worthwhile thing to carry off when they finished. Just, like your local typewriter store, one day, they closed and went home, and no one came back the next day.

Viracocha pampa was an industrial sized (even for modern standards) maize beer (Chicha) brewery. There has been found "Pisco" vessels used to ferment the maize to make the beer. (In fact, the national liquor of Perú, it's called PISCO, because the lack of wood in the desertic coast, made the producers in the 1590s and beyond, to store the beverage made from European grape in those traditional and millenary vessels instead of wood barrrels). Pikillact LOOKS like it was a BIGGER industrial complex as the first one. It's known that the WARIs were merchants, and the WARI CHICHA (Maize beer) was PROBABLY one of the goods they interchanged (or sell because it's found there was some sort of coins) with other cultures. The merchant thing its very old in the territory that know we know as Perú. There's been found peruvian goods (even dolls and toys!) in places like Chile, Colombia and other places THOUSAND of miles away...

Excellent video. I am going to visit these sites this summer. Thank you!

The information about these long lines in Peru are rather fascinating. I was a commercial pilot for many years and the lines bear a resemblance to what we call on arrival into an airport. It is a pathway that aircraft have to follow arriving in an airport. Early attempts at navigation in the 1920s involve beacons and arrows and landmarks that could be visually seen to guide airmail pilots across country.

The Chanquillo observatory is actually quite similar to Uraniborg made by Tycho brahe to observe the motion of the stars and planets. From there Johannes Kepler worked out the mathematics of how the planets orbited the sun. The various towers and platforms likely had astronomical instruments on them to make the observations.

This was really well done and very interesting, an amazing country full of baffling ruins...

What a jawdropper this documentary is.👍 It clearly shows how much of the pre-historic past is in the dark. Honestly,after having seen this im craving for more.......

Fascinating- I’ve been to Peru and have informally studied Peru and never heard of the structures described or that there are many other potentially lost civilizations from Peru’s long history. For the building with no windows or doors, perhaps when the building was intact people could enter from the roof via a ladder. A hole in the roof could also let in light and air and the roof may have acted like surfaced streets do today in modern society

Amazing Presentation. Lima Peru is such a mystery of the past. Such mysteries I did not know about until this Presentation. something very odd was going on - on earth in ancient times. These are very old ancient alien structures. the technology required is not even known yet in our modern world! I think the dating on these stuctures is accurately pre flood. the black/red/white pottery is the colors of atlantis. many of these structues look industrial. thank you so very much for this.

This reminds me of the Star Maps of the Pyrenes; chateaus and churches aligning to make geometric designs and aligned to the constellations. Fascinating.

Excellent, extremely professional and well produced video with captivating narration. I’ve never heard of any of these place!

I don't see why the 'fortress' would not have military value as you suggest. It is built in a location with extremely good views in most directions. The walls even in their current state are high enough to pose a decent defense, and they would have been higher originally. The towers could could easily have been high enough to see over the crest of the hill you mentioned. The choke points in the walls are perfect for forcing one enemy soldier at a time to enter, and be attacked from both sides, while not even being able to see how many more such corners they might have to deal with. I'm also skeptical that it was deliberately destroyed - for one thing there is no evidence of that, the masonry is not very durable looking and I would expect the damage could easily have been caused by earthquakes. Plus, military acquisitions with high long-term value like that are rarely wasted. Regarding the layout of the walls, that actually doesn't seem very difficult. An arc can easily be drawn fixing a rope at one end and walking around with the other end pulled tight. Joining two such arcs with their tangent line is done just by walking the circumference of one and stopping when the other circle is no longer 'behind' the one you're standing on - do that for both sides and make a straight line between them. To make the walls 'ignore' the uneven terrain beneath, perhaps that's what the outer pedestals were used for. Make all the pedestals the same height, draw a rope tight between them. Then walk around with a rope pulled tight by the end of a pole held vertical, and let it lightly rest on the rope between the pedestals. This will let you 'project' the circle downward onto the terrain. hmm... looking at the video again after writing that, the pedestals don't seem like they would go high enough, and some are a little far out, so maybe not. But in general that method would work. btw aligning with the solstice line is not hard either. Sure, finding the angle the first time requires watching the sun at those times of year, but after that you can just relate it to the north-south line, which is easy to find on any day of the year. You can do that by noting the length of sides on a right-angle triangle, eg. a 345 triangle always has angles of 53.13 and 36.87 degrees. After you find the north-south line, just use the rope pulling method again and scale the lengths up if you need more accuracy. So those factors don't seem like much of a mystery to me. The main things that puzzle me are: why they would want two separate towers so close to each other, and why was it important to use the solstice lines?

This video is awesome. I hadn’t heard of most of these sites. Thanks.

Thank you. Well done! The photography and background sound help bring the story here to life. I have heard of other lesser known pre-Mayan cultures and structures before, but not these. I am willing to bet that Chanquillo is a ceremonial site. It occurs to me that it was a place of one of the "mystery religions" like once thrived around the Mediterranean Sea, as in Greece and Crete and Egypt. A place where pilgrims would go to invoke the Gods for a transformative experience. One wherein the supplicant would fast, contemplate the questions of their heart, meditate and pray before arriving. Then after receiving instructions from a priesthood, be given an hallucinogenic drug, and guided through the circles a proscribed number of times, all the while priests would play instruments and or chant hymns and further prayers, as the pilgrim went through the ego death and subsequent rebirth. A lucrative business we can be sure. We appreciate your sharing with us. New sub.

Thank you, absolutely fascinating 💚

"Fortress" not "forest." Great speaking voice, dude! Fascinating video, too. Thank you for your hard work and brilliant analysis!

Excellent video. Great depth

I very much enjoyed that!

Nothing was too difficult for those people or aliens. They were nothing like humans today.

Loved the video. Great job. Also the last structure is a huge cemetery for the whole capital city. It's laid out according to status and wealth and they used ladders to get in and out. The road to nowhere is a spiritual thing. And when circumstances meant they had to leave they cleaned it and took their dead to their new home.

I just loved it! Good job! 👏 Thank you.

Very interesting documentary! Thanks very much!

I haven't looked, but if you check key points and boundaries within the structure (edges, walls, etc), you'll find distances of 12' or multiples thereof. This was positioned and built in conformance with the properties required to manipulate scalar physics. This was but a small component among a worldwide construct of Babylon. The lines are part of it, too.

31:22 energy collection from the crossing lay lines. It should slightly glow on dark nights.

This is an amazing video, thought I had seen it all,but I was wrong. Thank you for this video,and just cone across it.Brilliant.

Great video. Thank you. Love the graphics showing alignment to the solstices / north-south axis, for example. Really professional work. Thanks. Subscribed

Thank you for such an exquisitely detailed overview of these mysterious ancient constructions. Seeking to understand the “why” of some of the constructions, my mind was brought back to some ancient text found in the Qumran caves and others. The fallen angels were said to have taught technologies to man such as warfare, geology, architecture…and their offspring are said to have been strange and varied types of super-human entities. Some of these offspring were giants, some were monstrous -and it is said they pushed men into their service until man couldn’t keep up with their demands; then they began to devour them. Some of these constructions make sense if you consider the cruelty of the relief carvings shown in the first chapter of this documentary. I see how blind corners, tiny dwellings with thick walls, and lack of easy movement in and out would all be advantageous for a prison.

the huge structure at Piquillacta reminds me of a modern day mausoleum. i have been to a few. family crypts larger, many of the poor were grouped. none of the rooms were really connected except by a hall way. no windows and few doors. the lack of artifacts might also give credence to the idea that it would have been a place of the dead.

Thank You for the video. Very interesting and fascinating.

Interesting video. Your choice of music was great too. Abstract and spacial, and a bit mysterious.

Re the straight Kasma lines with parallel stone mini-walls, and periodic camp fires: About 40 years ago I met a woman who recently returned to the USA after owning a modern home perched on a hill in Columbia, where at its base a road passed by her gate. She described a scene she often saw -- a walking woman, with a child, and an iron pot. They'd ocassionally stop to prepare a meal and spend the night lying beside the road. She said sight reminded her of something out of this world. My reply was imagine how that mother & child felt looking up at a modern mansion set on top of a hill with plants and a fence all around. I suggest that what you see in those parallel lines are borders to catch the unwarry foot that might have strayed from a path along the way when travelling night and day. Camp fires stones would have marked the distance since they'd last stopped, while providing a convenience for their cooking pot. It is interesting to think that the person I met may have witnessed an every day site that lasted more than 4,000 years old. To a hungry person, a hot meal and a safe place is much more than a ritual.

Моя версия в том, что Комплекс Питиякта с замкнутыми помещениями без следов крыш - это система хранения. Судя по танкам, состоящим из нескольких стен с рёбрами жёсткости, которые чередуются через один с танками с одинарными стенами, предполагаю, что там хранились насыпные грузы. Возможно, это были расходные материалы, типа металлолома или ценной руды. Вообще, такая система хранения с ячейками разных размеров и множеством мелких ячеек похожа на лоток, который используется при сборке сложной аппаратуры. Возможно в некоторых ёмкостях была жидкость, но не похоже. К нужным ёмкостям можно пройти с корзиной по стенам и высыпать нужный груз в нужную камеру. Впрочем, ДВЦ скорее всего наполняла их с воздуха. Ведь рисунки на плато Наска они же рисовали с воздуха. (Версию про рисунки я пока не готов изложить публично). Если Вам, Игорь, интересно, я бы пообщался по поводу рисунков, мне кажется, я бы мог подкинуть полезные мысли.
