All in good time. The first step is getting UA-cam to let me make revenue from the ads they're already running. With any luck that will start this month. Thanks for your kind words.
I've been playing catch up with all your podcasts since we met on the trip to Palenque. Listening to the content reminds me of riding around in the van while we were on our adventure. Keep up the good work Ed.
Thank you for yet another amazing video on another incredible Peruvian culture. Thank you for putting the Nazca into a greater chronological and geographic context, few ever do. Unfortunately I know you are limited by the length of these videos, but I would have loved more info on trophy heads, Nazca ceramics and textiles, and the site of Cahuachi. Unfortunately I find the lines the least interesting thing about the Nazca. I’ve seen many sources point to the fact that new lines cross old lines, as being some clue to their purpose and significance. I find it interesting however that there is only one hummingbird, spider, monkey and so on. Which paradoxically implies that there was a memory and respect for the animal glyphs which were made before. I’m still hoping for a skull deformation video, but until then, thanks again, and wishing you and yours all the best in the future!
Loved this podcast! I have spent a lot of time in Peru, but I never got as far as Nazca. It was fascinating to learn about the Nazca civilization, how the Nazca lines were made and especially, being a desert rat myself, how they made their water last more than 4 months of the year. Thanks, Ed!
Nice work guys. Thank you Ed, for the informative video on the Nazca geoglyphs. Luke did a great job. Excellent way to repurpose the podcast content here on UA-cam for those who may not have caught the podcast the first time around. Keep it up!
Hello Ed, I've been following since stumbling across you on great courses plus (I think that's what it was called). I enjoy your podcast very much, and it's very informative. I wish I had some questions or knowledgeable input, but I am just soaking up what I can. Anyways, this video release of your first podcast with pictures and subtitles is an amazing move on your part. Thank you for doing it, and I hope it helps you expand your audience. Best of luck with everything! If you ever feel down, remember you have a few loyal fans who appreciate you spreading your knowledge, and in turn, we spread that knowledge to others. It spreads interest and helps end misinformation. Again, thank you!
Man I love this stuff your Great Corses on the Maya is still one of my faves on audible I hope you have been able to monetize your content on UA-cam at any rate thanks a lot
I believe the ancient sorcerers of that time guided the makers of the lines and assisted whole groups of the Nasca people in viewing them from above. Time ran out for those sorcerers long before the Spanish came,
The estimate population of the nazca made me think, do we know how many of then participated on art/ceramic making? there is an estimate of how many of the 25000 were potters?
As always; thank you Ed. Very interesting. I read von Däniken way back as well.... However; it seems you 'side-stepped' the obvious question a little bit with the string-theory. Did they have a standard unit of length? A way they could measure distances. Their version of the yard, foot, meter. Did any of the 'other American cultures'? Was Hugh Harleston onto something?
When it comes to scaling something up or down, units of measure are useful, but not essential. The Nazca may have had a standard unit, but we have no evidence so far. I'm familiar with Harleston's work on Mesoamerican archaeoastronomy, but not Nazca. Is it in Aveni's Nazca book?
@@archaeoedpodcast Thx Ed; I didn't mean to link Harleston to Nazca; I only know him a bit from Teotihuacan. He measured things all around the area and even 'predicted' finding certain markers. His book is in Spanish and I'm just an interested amateur. I'm working from memory here, but I believe their 'standard unit' was just a bit longer than a yard which would get them real close to a meter. That's Teotihuacan with its humongous scale, overall size, etc. Since the Nazca worked with such long distances and intricate patterns, there had to be some 'system'.
@@dutchreagan3676oh and tiohuatican is shaped like a shiva lingam. You z j*w lol. Keep pretending you know god. I know where you are really going Dutch. I can’t wait for you to eventually come back as a worm after 10,000 years of d&$kness and suff&$ring
@@dutchreagan3676 My thoughts continue to develop, but I wonder whether the necessity of a system based on a unit of measure is real or just a deeply ingrained concept of the western mindset. Maya geometry has shown me how much can be designed and built by proportion without the need to apply numbers whatsoever. If you want to know more about that Christopher Powell's dissertation on Maya geometry is free to download on www.mayaexploration.org
Interesting how the videos about ancient cultures start with "wow they were so brilliant" and end with: yeah they did something so stupid that caused their demise. I hardly think they didn't know about the importance of their trees and they wouldn't stand for so long if they didn't.
Don't reply to me unless you actualy know what your talking about. It's a waste of my time. Research the tin and bronze trade in Mesopotamia and the references in the Enu Elish to the mines or the land below. How they maintained a trade in it while the rest of surroundings did not when it ran low. Then speak to me.
@@geraldpoole274 I literally study this stuff for a living and I can assure you that the ancient mesopotamians did not get their tin from south america.
@@LaggingGames yes unfortunate for you. There is a reason why the great pyramid of giza resonates to "OM" as well as why teotihuacan is shaped like a shiva lingam, as is the vatican. You are not nearly as well thought out as you think you are, sir.
I've always wondered what was behind those beautiful, awe-inspiring geoglyphs.
It's genuinely upsetting you still didn't find any sponsors. You're providing free and good content and you deserve more appreciation

I loved your Great Courses series and am glad to listen to you in a chatty mode, too.

Another great one, lots of pics this time.
Thanks Dr. Barnhart -Gratz on the success of this upload.
I've got so much to catch up on! This is great stuff, thank you Dr Educator!
Nice work. Very interesting. Thanks!

I hope so too. Thanks!
Love this, love how cool and detailed and excited you bring it across.
Great editing in this video. Keep up the good work! ♥️
Great stuff!
That's a sweet new intro!
I believe the ancient sorcerers of that time guided the makers of the lines and assisted whole groups of the Nasca people in viewing them from above.
Time ran out for those sorcerers long before the Spanish came,
some lines are so patinated they are nearly undetectable. And that tells me they are far older
Make a video about the nazca mummies if they are real then that will be game changing
I wonder why the Nazca didn't make a geoglyph of a aji chile pepper - they had aji didn't they?
The estimate population of the nazca made me think, do we know how many of then participated on art/ceramic making? there is an estimate of how many of the 25000 were potters?
Never forget , Greenpeace vandalized those lines for clout.

the ancient hindus built the pyramids to resonate Om...and also sent off explorers to what is now south america....catch up

Ancient sumarians mined the region around Lake Titicaca . The epic of GIGLAMESH actually starts his journey from South America
that's not true at all, the ancient sumerians were thousands of miles away with entirely different domesticates culture and genetics.

they were ancient Hindus.....most physicists who are spiritual and not limited to the 9th grade would already know
this is an unfortunate thought, the hindus were thousands of miles away.

welll... spiritually; aren't we all Hindus?
