Thank you for venturing to these locations and sharing. It reminds me of the story of the guy in Africa. The man who stopped the desert. He dug a lot of holes. This place reminds me of that guy in Africa. And his method of digging holes and filling them with dead vegetation to sponge up and hold rain water. ? Looks similar but I do not know for what purpose all those holes were dug for. Strange and mysterious. Cool stuff
Not sure about the plant idea... why would there be a hole that big where a plant was? It would have to have a huge root structure if they just rotted and left a hole. And if they were native species, why did nothing survive the years? Or spread out?
@@arguspanoptes6241 dont bother.... patterns of 6 month old knee deep holes in the loose dirt is obviously aliens... what else could it be lol... ppl cant do that kinda shit lol (did i mention we legalized drugs?)
Those holes also help to halt the erosion of the ridge from the wind and rain as well as holding water from running off the top of the ridge thereby aiding in the growing of seasonal food plants in them.
My ultimate dream would be to go on a tour with you to Egypt to see the saw cuts and perfect joints . Being a 33 Year veteran of masonry work I live for this stuff man, thanks for sharing
brien thank you for sharing I just started following you recently and LOVE all the ancient stuff you have shared appreciate all of it thank you waving the hand out to you from Turkey
How’s this idea? If a horse attempted to cross it would fall and break a leg. You cannot pull a wheeled cart over it. Maybe someone dug these holes to stop invaders entering a specific area.
Looks like the river filled the green valley long ago and rain from the mountain fill each pots if it did have plants in them it would be a good watering system.
So, on google earth, .72 miles from the start of the Band of Holes look to the southern adjacent hill side, .12 miles from the Band... You will see many rectangular shapes, like foundations? Perhaps whomever used to live there, made and used the band of holes to grow some kind of food. Maybe the holes would capture precipitation enough to grow a rudimentary crop. We don't know what the climate was like long ago. Now we can see clearly the massive alluvial flooding traces that carved hills & valleys. So, to avoid the crops from being washed out, the holes were dug... Potatoes would have been possible to grow under those conditions. Forget the "snake", this was subsistence farming.
I saw a similar thing in the Canary Islands. Still in use as far as I know. (It was 30yrs ago) They planted grape vines I think it was, the reason for the funnel shape hole was to capture any water and direct it to the plant. Also as they have a very dry climate the plants themselves would capture any sea mist etc which would condense 👍
The holes look exactly what Time Team finds in the early neolithic settlements discovered; where they were mining tin and other minerals to process them. I think you'd easily test the soils to see the content at the bottom and around the edges of the holes.
The holes look like scales on the snake skin. Perhaps they were dug and left as we see them now resembling scales. Watering plants with a bucket brigade in that arid place would be an endless task.
A more likely explanation is that something was buried and hidden "on the left flank of the ridge" but limited information was known to the exact location. I can imagine a craft hovering over the ridge blasting into the earth and rock trying to locate the hidden treasures.
The surrounding areas look very rocky, that spot with the holes has less rocks. Seems like the hillside was used to harvest building supplies for rock walls/ huts... Seem much more likely than farming on a hillside
I’m surprised mainstream scholars haven’t promoted the theory that the potholes were simply a part of the Inca highway system to the temples in the clouds. Seriously, can it be assumed the climate was the same in the past when the holes were dug as it is now? I believe archeologists in the Middle East have difficulty understanding the present climate did not influence the construction of ancient monuments when weather conditions are known to have been different.
Yes, the climate was the same, they have analysed all that. That is why it's such a mystery, but also it is why these things have survived pretty much unscathed as there wasn't much erosion other than a bit of wind, and some freezing during cold winters when frost does come in, but luckily not any deluges to wash it all away
@@brienfoerster that's a lot of a work they had to be hundreds, anyway appreciate you always and checking your tours for an Indian or Mexican surprise . Almost done with your book about the Incas last period which I enjoy greatly
Hey Brien and everyone else. I reccomend Nilesh Oak's channel. He talks about how Rama described the Paracas Candelabra. And the Ramayana took place at least 8000BC i think. Rama went north to Scandanavia, south to Antarctica, west to Gulf of Mexico, and east to Peru
I know this will sound crazy, but it almost looks like a tire track of some sort. Or some machinery that moved across the land at one time. The holes are so similar without much variation, and the ground is so rocky. I find it hard to believe perfectly symmetrical holes like that would have been hand-dug.
Those holes still look interesting without plants. Has there ever been any consideration for some kind of dye color from ground rocks or maybe the chinchanilla insect from cactus making red. Could something like that also be a viable explanation?
More likely it would an aid in catching rain before it could run off --this may help source ground water streams in the lowlands. Grass on the hillside and on the fields by using soil heath practices would be also beneficial.
Places to collect water, or, as this is close to the ocean, maybe filling it with saltwater, one could harvest salt. Maybe, they were a la Nazca lines, a decorative form of mega art
That was the guys from the curse of oak island. It was around 15 years before they filmed season one. They drilled 6000 holes and found nothing but got the idea. Hey we should do this again but film it and have a narrator that speaks in questions everytime something more than nothing happens. Could end up being a popular show.
These were used to induce one of mankind's greatest achievements "Terra Preta" ancient super fertile man-made soil that lasts thousands of years, first discovered in Amazon rain forrest were the inhabitants had a man-made garden the size of France, these have been sampled by university of Kiel.
I don't think the plant idea is the most likely explanation. the path follows the ridge a lot and that is not nearly as good a trench/valley formation for catching rain and the soil drains much faster. hauling water up to water plants seems an obserd amount of labour, especially when there is a river and flat lands below. also the holes have large rocks in the bottom any farmer knows that these should be removed and fine "soil" filled in to assist the plants. also some of the ridges between the holes have been layed up like a wall to encourage the snake scale appearance. My opinion is, it's only for appearance, with no practical use. much like the Nasca lines. the builders of these sorts of things clearly had a fondness for creepy sinister things and it fits right in to the program... great video as usual Brian.
I think the second theory fits best. It looks like a pot field after a police raid and they pulled them all out. Could have been damaged trees they pulled and never replanted.

They are water traps so the precious rain does not simply run off. Fills the sponge.

Hoping that some day soon Brien purchases a windshield/windscreen for his phone. They're like $20.
ikr. dude's been on Ancient aliens and everything but still uses selfie mode on his cell phone to record lectures and guided tours 💀
This video is 15 years old.
Hehehe...😁
Lol, exactly!@@BeagleBoy-fu4im
@FirstLast-iv2tc hasn't been a new video since covid. Been phoning it in since.
Those holes sure seemed too rocky to grow something in.
Exactly
Not sure about the plant idea... why would there be a hole that big where a plant was? It would have to have a huge root structure if they just rotted and left a hole. And if they were native species, why did nothing survive the years? Or spread out?
The hole protects from wind. They still farm like this in the Canary islands. I've seen entire wineries planted this way.
@@arguspanoptes6241 dont bother.... patterns of 6 month old knee deep holes in the loose dirt is obviously aliens... what else could it be lol... ppl cant do that kinda shit lol (did i mention we legalized drugs?)
The holes from the air have a hexagonal profil.
Much like plasma or anode tufts on an object... Probably a band or aurora of footprints overhead?
Those holes also help to halt the erosion of the ridge from the wind and rain as well as holding water from running off the top of the ridge thereby aiding in the growing of seasonal food plants in them.
I watched UA-cam today, oh boy, 6000 holes near Paracas in Peru, and though the holes were rather small they had to count them all...
😂..... And now they know how many holes it takes to fill the.....😅
I like the way you're thinking 🤔💭🧐😂 ☮️💯🇨🇦🍄
Either agriculture or vibrational frequencies from within the earth. Like cymatics.
I believe these are for gardening. More and more people are learning a technique like this for arid areas, many also use half-moon shapes!
My ultimate dream would be to go on a tour with you to Egypt to see the saw cuts and perfect joints . Being a 33 Year veteran of masonry work I live for this stuff man, thanks for sharing
Thanks for all your great videos 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
brien thank you for sharing I just started following you recently and LOVE all the ancient stuff you have shared appreciate all of it thank you waving the hand out to you from Turkey
the ancient stuff is very enlightening it has changed the very foundation of my thinking thanks again
How’s this idea?
If a horse attempted to cross it would fall and break a leg. You cannot pull a wheeled cart over it.
Maybe someone dug these holes to stop invaders entering a specific area.
They didn't have wheels or horses
thanks Brien, always watching your contents...
Perhaps it was getting water through wicking, from bowl to bowl, going up. It would save a lot of work, wouldn't it?
Looks like the river filled the green valley long ago and rain from the mountain fill each pots if it did have plants in them it would be a good watering system.
Thank you for your shows. They are extremely interesting.
Excellent video Brian👍👍👍👍
The potholes are to stop horses. Come on folks.
There were no horses in the Americas
The plant theory is by far the best Brien.
Like scales on a snake...or serpent garden... with plants for scales?? Like that feathered serpent wall from the aerial view???
So, on google earth, .72 miles from the start of the Band of Holes look to the southern adjacent hill side, .12 miles from the Band... You will see many rectangular shapes, like foundations?

Yup still producing quality wine in Lanzarote
Rainforest is really close here.
Underground water table level flowing from Andes
I was shopping farms in the Canary islands and came across this. Entire wineries planted in this method. It's old school 🤣

I’m surprised they didn’t say the holes are from gold prospecting lol
This was a really good share Brien!👍🙏 I never heard the pants theory in the Band of Holes, but it fits 👍👍😊
Love you brother be safe out there making this content for us💙💙💙
And people complain about pothole situation these days!
A more likely explanation is that something was buried and hidden "on the left flank of the ridge" but limited information was known to the exact location. I can imagine a craft hovering over the ridge blasting into the earth and rock trying to locate the hidden treasures.
Is a drone footage available? Also is lydar used to see any hidden underground, or radar.
Serpent art in many cultures yes. ❤
Looks like a giant honey comb made outta dirt.Giant earth dirt hornets?
This wasn’t used for tribute. Who wants to walk a mile to collect all that? It was likely a serpent symbol like they did in Nazca. Thanks again!
The surrounding areas look very rocky, that spot with the holes has less rocks.
Seems like the hillside was used to harvest building supplies for rock walls/ huts...
Seem much more likely than farming on a hillside
Think it was for agriculture..growing grapes etc? wish i knew, they are intriguing.
Also, about .5 miles south there's a hillside with many holes and cutouts... incredible!
It doesn't sound like a good theory how the holes were used and made etc... as there is nothing like any soil in the holes... but I don't know.
How do these not erode by now? How deep were they in ancient times?
Thank you!

Maybe they dug the holes to capture rain water.
In Australia the Milky Way at night is sometimes referred too as a giant serpent
Maybe it was from a time when there was more rainfall so watering wouldn't be required?
I believe these are/were used for water retention purposes in farming
But Brien how did they do it? I mean they dig the whole mountain with 6k holes? Please answer me, your most dedicated supporter.
By hand
@@brienfoerster that's a lot of a work they had to be hundreds, anyway appreciate you always and checking your tours for an Indian or Mexican surprise . Almost done with your book about the Incas last period which I enjoy greatly
This looks to me like fish beds when they nest. Go look it up I looked up bass fish nest
Quetzalcoatl was a green feathered serpent, the plants would give that effect.
Thanks Brien, keep up the Show and Tell 🫂☮️💯🇨🇦🤔👁️🤟🏼❤️
I would like to see and hear your thoughts from India’s Megalithic Indian Artitecture [?]
Hey Brien and everyone else. I reccomend Nilesh Oak's channel. He talks about how Rama described the Paracas Candelabra.
And the Ramayana took place at least 8000BC i think.
Rama went north to Scandanavia, south to Antarctica, west to Gulf of Mexico, and east to Peru
I'll pass
@@ALLGODSDIE thanks for informing me
You seem like an edgy atheist so yeah that makes sense you don't want learn about Lord Rama
Always thought those looked like a way to capture water for growing food.
You can see a picture of it in a book called "chariots of the gods " i think . Can you describe what you see ?
Cool Vid Brien......
They had to count them all.

Imagine if this is where 1000s of alien eggs hatched

OMG! Giant chin
Maybe someone lost their penny jar….
I'm sure the holes have something to do with it 'Kissin' Kate Barlow.
Thank u :)
Something heavy went through there, it could be tank tracks.
Something similar on tenerife they grows vines
Brien I recently moved to Cusco. Do still work at a museum?
no
@@brienfoerster would like to meet you when you are in Cusco
Canary islands there are Vineyards growing with the same kind of holes in the present; it's to profit of the humidity
When radio communication was lost with off planet observers, lights in the belt/holes sent messages at light speed. Like a url code.
Digging up the " toad " wanting that DMT EXPERIENCE.
These are just defensive holes. Extremely hard to ride your horses over. Don't over think it.
I don't think the plant idea is the most likely explanation. the path follows the ridge a lot and that is not nearly as good a trench/valley formation for catching rain and the soil drains much faster. hauling water up to water plants seems an obserd amount of labour, especially when there is a river and flat lands below. also the holes have large rocks in the bottom any farmer knows that these should be removed and fine "soil" filled in to assist the plants. also some of the ridges between the holes have been layed up like a wall to encourage the snake scale appearance.
My opinion is, it's only for appearance, with no practical use. much like the Nasca lines. the builders of these sorts of things clearly had a fondness for creepy sinister things and it fits right in to the program...
great video as usual Brian.
@joshpack speculates it was to stop horses in their tracks 💎
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
24/7 bucket brigade. It's a terrible location to grow. The soil looks like it would have awful moisture retention. Perhaps a rainy season bloom.
My daughter pointed out that those look a lot like beehives. Especially from the drone footage.
Maybe the air force tested cluster hugs.... B-52 era or something.
what if it was a sport or competition to race up the mountain through the holes lol or even a right of passage maybe?
Some rich man was chased through the desert by bandits, hid his gold in a hole, came back and never found it. Mystery solved.
Hey Brien, Does anybody have studied the holes content ?
They grew crops in the centre of the hole.
“Let me live and I’ll tell you where I buried the treasure.”
*then skedaddles*
It was a kind of water retiner to make a green and produce plants like avocado, mangos, etc etc in this area.
I saw palm trees along the road. Are these indigenous to Peru?
Tequila, harvest.
No aerial shot?
To emulate scale pattern from above?
The keys to the space ship have to be here somewhere!!!
It has a honey comb look to it. Almost too perfect to just be holes for irrigation of plants.
Yes and I noticed that the holes are one factor but the walls around the holes are very prominent.
Does anyone know how to get there from paracas
Interesting from the air it looks like scales.
Essa região ai é antiquíssima e era usada no tempo da Atlântida como campo de testes para artefatos militares...
Also has the look of Scales.
I think the second theory fits best. It looks like a pot field after a police raid and they pulled them all out. Could have been damaged trees they pulled and never replanted.
some kind of giant weed forest....
