- Embark on a riveting journey to Lake Titicaca in the Bolivian Highlands, where ancient mysteries unfold amidst the remnants of Tiwanaku, often dubbed the "American Stonehenge." Join a team of archaeologists and adventurers as they challenge age-old theories using experimental archaeology. Using only ancient techniques and local materials, they reconstruct traditional reed boats to transport massive stone monoliths across the lake's daunting waters. Battling altitude, harsh conditions, and logistical challenges, they seek to prove the ingenuity of ancient civilizations while honoring indigenous knowledge. This documentary captures the spirit of exploration, cultural reverence, and the enduring quest for understanding our ancient past.

I remember learning about Lake Titicaca in 7th grade and the whole class cracking up and the teacher telling us to get it out of our system and start acting like adults lol.
@austinwald2731 I'm 54 and still laugh when I hear the name
I just burst out laughing when they said it. I wasn't ready
Teach needs to get over it. I am still wanting to chortle at 45.
Humans a few thousand years ago: *Learn how to chisel and stack rocks.
Researchers: "We can't figure out how they did it..."
Thor Heyerdahl did it years ago.
Hva snakke du om?
@@spamanator666 ...at Thor Heeyerdahl har gjört det mange ar för.
I wasn't expecting that Lake Tittiekaka. Burst out laughing and now my family are staring at me like I'm special.
I love when people try to reconstruct ancient methods of building. If you want to know how it was build, you should try for yourself 😉
Great job
It is not impossible, but that is not the way it was done. I guess that you think the huge stone walls with perfectly cut blocks were made with bronze tools as well?
Strangely I have never seen a 12 ft circular saw made of bronze and powered by a man that could cut through hard stone.
check out ancient string saws then
also depending on the kind of stone, its enough to hammer in lots of chissels in a straight line to get a clean split
when was this produced?
It looks like an early 2000's production, still shot in 4:3.
What are you using for cordage?
Where did all the rope come from ? Llama 🦙 hair ?
I AM THE GREAT CORNHOLIO
Where were the young folks? I saw many fathers but very few sons pulling that stone off the boat. 😢
You’re just trying to recreate how you think it might’ve been done but remember- those that did it also had to grow food everyday and farm just to survive- raise their families and whatnot.
Right! Cause it’s impossible to split up your community into two different groups where some people get food and some people work on moving the stone
Exactly. Plus there was no home to run away to or hotel to go to at night with running hot water and cooked meals etc. Plus raising lots of children as there was no birth control and they would have had many kids. Animals would need to be cared for and kept.
@@friguy4444I resonate with you on that way of thinking because they had a lot going on. Constructing these stones must’ve just been ‘easy’ for them.
What's that object in the water at 1:25? I don't subscribe to pseudoscience, but I would like to know more about the ruins that are supposedly at the bottom of the lake.
Dishonest, but interesting.
The best thing I can say about this video is that at least Graham Hancock wasn’t in it.
Love a bit of Graham Hancock. Very entertaining 😁
Twice as long as needed. Too much talking into the camera while not saying anything of merit. Not very good.
Just tie where the rope snapped into balls then attach one rope to connect the two an tighten it
Amazing and beautiful. Thamk you.
That was a small stone in comparison to the real stones, how were they moving the real big stones ?
It wasn't at that altitude...
So what do you mean by that, did the mountains grow? I have been there and can vouch for the altitude.
Wrong that is not the last thing any sailor wants to be towed no sailor wants to die or their family
I love this
Super impressive! I'm surprised there werent any injuries though. There were so many moments where things could have ended in injury or death. Im glad nobody got hurt.
I am amazed the narrators can keep a straight face saying "Lake Titicaca" so much.
as interesting as this successful project turned out to be, i found the statement of being an archeologist & not a sailor to be extremely ironic. for an archeological project to prove how ancient indigenous people could have accomplished something by primitive means, not being a sailor, i would add, nor engineer, nor stone mason, nor local shaman, nor indigenous to the region...kind of sums up the disparity that exists in academic archeology, leaving questions unanswered & room for challenging thoughts.
just sayin'

Work became actual work and not glorified play time. Probably for the first time in their young lives. So they not only quit they ran away. Sigh...... This generation is going to have some serious hard times and problems with the realities they just don't want to face.
absorbing water makes it more buoyant? ... uhhh someone needs to go back to school... which is more buoyant an empty jug or a jug full of water?....
My guess is that he using the term in the way divers do, meaning it will float at the right height.
NEED T.P FOR MY BUNGHOLIO
Thank you so much for sharing this, NC USA 🇺🇸
When people ask if you think it was aliens, tell them, "No, even though they have great tans I don't think they needed Aliens to do this."
Nephelim
is this a serious documentary? why is he riding a bike
😮
What a waste of energy and time, all completely futile and obfuscational. This isn't archaeology it's disney grade slop.
"Aliens"
Lazy brain conclusion
👽
Did you pay to use this video?
What did he say in the beginning 😂
Lake
@@jscotthatcher380 ohhh
Why did I think lake Titicaca was in Africa.. ( the deepest lake in the world) yes ?
Thank you for not goin w a.i voice..instant unsubribe when a.i is nataration pops up
So 6 minutes in. "Im not an archaeologist"
Ok not a crime. Then you lead with The reed plants..
Come again;!?
Investment in trying to find aliens? Not really. That would be a crap load of reeds.
I hate these videos where they’ve recreating things. Zzz
😂😂
Good grief
There is no 'Absolute History', and it is not necessary, to create a name like ''the American Stonehenge''. Cool down Sir, no bulldozers please, no Algorhythm-marketing. Keep some space for the open questions of history. I am sorry Sir, but I switched off very soon.
American Stonehenge was a name given to the site years ago. These archaeologists didn't do that.
If you want a channel called Relative History, go for it. What the owners of this channel call it isn't your problem.
At least these guys are figuring out how humans did it rather than blaming it on aliens.
