Megalithic Tarawasi with Brien Foerster: Peru’s Hidden Mystery (First Visit!)

Megalithic Tarawasi with Brien Foerster: Peru’s Hidden Mystery (First Visit!)

🚨 Join me as I take you to one of Peru’s most intriguing and least-known megalithic sites — Tarawasi. In this episode, you’ll get on-the-ground footage of the site plus my exclusive sit-down interview with Brien Foerster right on the steps of Tarawasi — his very first visit. He shares his first impressions, thoughts on possible pre-diluvian origins, and comparisons to other megalithic sites across Peru. Located just 70km west of Cusco, Tarawasi features a massive 100-meter outer wall built in a stunning honeycomb pattern with precision-shaped andesite blocks, a raised platform with 28 trapezoidal niches, and clear evidence of multiple construction eras. We examine the differences between the sophisticated megalithic work and later Inca-style repairs, discuss the site’s unusual northeast-southwest alignment, unusual stone damage possibly linked to an ancient cataclysm, and why the official “mid-1400s Inca tambo” story rests on surprisingly thin evidence. We also touch on the elongated skulls and other mysteries from our unforgettable week together. 👉 Join Derek Olson and me in Cambodia January 2027! https://www.royalangkor-tours.com/tours/mysteries-of-cambodia-tour-laos-extension-secretsinstone/ 👉 Brien Foerster’s tours & books: https://hiddenincatours.com/ 👉 Brien Foerster’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@brienfoerster 👉 Sorcerers in Stone YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@sorcerersofstone If you enjoy these explorations, please subscribe, hit the like button, and turn on notifications so you never miss an episode.

Reassessing Ancient Cambodia: Live Presentation from the Quest for Ancient Civilizations Conference

After traveling extensively in Cambodia and studying its ancient sites firsthand, I'm challenging long-held assumptions about Cambodia's ancient past. In my presentation at the Quest for Ancient Civilizations Conference, I shared mysterious LiDAR findings, Cambodia's lost ancient technologies and potential global connections long overlooked. I also answer great questions from the audience at the end of the video - where some interesting revelations are disclosed!

The Buried Pyramid of Thailand & The Mystery of Si Thep

Deep in Thailand lies the ancient moated city of Si Thep,now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by enormous earthworks, reservoirs, and more than one hundred ancient structures. But the most intriguing monument sits just outside the city walls — a pyramid that for centuries appeared to be nothing more than a natural hill.    Then archaeologists excavated the mound in 2008 anddiscovered a massive stepped pyramid hidden beneath. Officially, the site is attributed to the little-known Dvaravati culture of the 6th–9th centuries AD. But its architecture, precision sculptures, and the strange artifacts raise seriousquestions. Why is the pyramid unlike anything else in Thailand? How doyou explain the precision sculptures? Was the pyramid deliberately buried, and why?How do you explain the undeciphered script linked to India and Indonesia? In this episode of Secrets in Stone, we explore one of themost mysterious ancient sites in Southeast Asia.

Why Is The OLDEST Technology the Most Advanced? The Clovis & Ancient Megalith Problem!

The Clovis point is one of the most extraordinary andmysterious Ice Age technologies ever discovered. It appeared suddenly, fully formed and with no developmental history. It was one of the fastest and widest technological dispersals in human prehistory… and it appeared immediatelybefore the Younger Dryas catastrophe. In this episode, I follow the Clovis story from itsdiscovery to its collapse, and ask the question archaeology won’t ask: Where did this technology come from — and why does the most advanced lithic craftsmanship come first? Archaeologists already accept that Ice Age technology canappear suddenly, reach an extreme level of mastery, and then decline over time - as long as we’re talking about stone tools. Why is the same idea rejected when we look at ancient megalithic architecture – this is an archaeological DOUBLESTANDARD! The Clovis point is a true mystery. It’s also a reminderthat human history may not be a straight line upward — but that sometimes, the greatest achievements lie buried at the very beginning of the story. Tune in for an unforgettable episode – and stay tuned untilthe end, where I will show you Clovis, Paleo, Archaic, and other lithics from MY OWN inherited family collection —so you can see the “devolution” for yourself. Sometimes, the story becomes clearest when you hold it in yourhands! Topics covered: Clovis fluting & engineering •“Clovis First” and why it collapsed • Monte Verde • The Gault Site • Clovis aches (and why they matter) • Folsom & Bison antiquus • Archaic points • Arrowheads• The archaeological double standard. #Clovis #Arrowheads #FlintKnapping #Paleoindian#YoungerDryas #Megaliths #AncientHistory
