Another great video, thanks for always showing sites that everyone else seems to skip over. I'm not very familiar with this site, but I did notice the stone type, and even stacking (to a lesser degree), look very similar to the Coral Castle in Florida. Love to hear your thoughts on it, as the stacked stones in Florida also come with a story of a single man lifting them into place on his own. Thanks as always, I've enjoyed all 5000 or so of your videos I've watched by this point lol.
@@MikeLhawdsUA-camAccountHandle Thanks. A lot of channels do videos just on the tourist itineraries..or the same sites or the same old discussion. Some upload interesting new ideas or unknown sites, personally that is what I like to see. New stuff...new info. Learning...not just a re-hash of general repeated info. Google Earth lets me go anywhere. Many sites like this. I did do one video on Coral Castle...I think I just intro In Search Of. Here's a link. ua-cam.com/video/T7_Ip_h27Us/v-deo.html
another great video about a place i've never heard of, thanks again Chuck! did you happen to notice if the pillars were aligned to the cardinal points? seems like many of these ancient megalithic sites all around the world have the common denominator of *archaeoastronomy* ...
That is a great question. Couldn't really tell because only one remains standing. A possibility they were aligned east-west. But I could not confirm that. Maybe it's mentioned somewhere.
Thanks for drawing our attention to this place Chuck ! A new and fascinating discovery once again. There is no definitive explanation as to how these pillars were erected...just as for Easter Island...
One of the first things I thought about. Was going to bring that up. Epic off the cuff movie speech by Robert Shaw...and after a few as the story goes.
Both of my grandfathers were part of the invasion of those islands. My dad’s dad was in the 2nd Marines and my moms dad was in the 7th Cav the “Garry Owen”. I forget who was at which island but I think at some point they were on the same islands because of background stuff in some pictures. There is a silly picture of my moms dad outside a burnt out Japanese hooch in khaki pants with sunglasses and a big homemade pipe posing like MacArthur. They were the greatest men I’ve ever known... and who is the ONE jackass that gave this a thumbs down anyway?
I'm from New Zealand. The mystery to me is that there are so many stone constructions across the Pacific, all the way across to Rapa Nui, yet the Polynesians who came to Aotearoa/New Zealand don't seem to have brought any tradition of using stone for construction. Did they just forget it, or was their culture much younger than the stone builders?
New Zealand has its own stone sites created by humans, its pre Maori but no consensus on the race or races who put them there. Search online and you will get more detail.
I’m actually half Chamorru the indigenous people of the Mariana islands and from the island of Guam we call them latte stones. It’s a important symbol in our culture and our island in the south Marianas island chain we have a lot. Tbh we’ve been searching for the reasons they are there. A lot has been hidden from us especially during colonization. We have strong connections to these latte stones we know it’s from our ancestors If you guys want to know more you should looking into the culture of the Chamorru people in the Marianas you’ll learn more from the actually people if you ask you never know what some info the indigenous people have than outter sources. Traditions and stories are passed down through story so gotta go and do some real digging 🌴
Story is true. Born & Raised on Tinian. I never knew this video existed. I ended up here looking for my high school videos on the search. There’s larger stones in the Northern Islands. Chamorros died out after the Spanish Eras. They slaughtered our people & forced Christianity on us. They killed the men and raped the women. Stones are still here. The one here on Tinian is still up. Today 2021, December. Quarry is in Rota. The big black and white photo with Pilar’s are in Pagan. Northern Islands. It’s all over. The islands consist of 14 islands. In closing Guam (but they removed themselves from the commonwealth). If you wanna get more information look for Don Farrel & his book on the Mariana islands history. We’re known as Chamorro. It’s our race & ethnicity.
Thx a lot again 4 a great presentation of a nearly unknown place and all your researcj. Speaking of have you ever looked into a place calledShoria mountain in russia? Just its size is mindboggeling, not 2 speak of its precision, it easyly rivals Pumapunku. Would love 2 hear your thoughts on that one. Have a nice weekend...
Interesting have you heard of this place near me? Not many know this place we are all taught its natural but what do you think? This link is great vid with bad sound ua-cam.com/video/KEpoxxbITbs/v-deo.html
Awesome Stuff! Came across the base pillar of this underwater in Guam 5 years ago by chance. And in the course of examining a recenently re-discovered? underwater formation--we relocated it just a few days ago. We re just a the beginning of the research of this larger structure. Thanks for this video and your insight
Very cool Chuck!! I don't think it's off base that the legends claim the chief there was "super strong". I contend in my research of the stone works of northeastern North America that the "dolemen" we see in states like Vermont were "tests of strength". I strongly suggest that these things represent just that, test of strength by some rather large people who lived there in ancient times. Anyway, very interesting and I'm going to ask the author I'm doing an interview with on Sunday who is Laotian and is researching these subject about islands such as Tinian and the Marianas, if she knows anything about them. Thanks Chuck!! Great info as always!!...;)
My father fought the Japanese there in WWII. I don’t mean by himself. He was in the Marines. He always associated South Pacific islands with war - storming beaches, not sunbathing.
It was a crazy one. Beautiful beaches today was not beautiful back then. Marine came back to visit and talked about how the water was red and shores covered with bodies.
Evidence of skeletal remains of Chief Taga measure at 11ft. Tall. You can look it up. It's not a myth. His skull had a very severe damage to the front of his face but but he was able to heal it with natural remedies. The exact words from the person who examined his skeletal remains said that from the injury to his face said, "This man (Taga) fought off the grim reaper.".
Have you read the Sundaland books or seen the UA-cam videos that came out 2 years ago? Also there is the work of Antoine Gigal, she did a lecture with MegalithicUK a few years ago of all the small pyramids out in the Indian Ocean, Mediterranean and Atlantic. The Myrtle plant was an odd connecting link. And of course Hyrdal did a book on the pyramids in the Indian Ocean, the book is great.
They look like corral .Wivh despite their size would not have the weight or hardness of similarly sized granite . Do you know or can you find what stone they are comprised of ?
I was under the impression that Polynesians did not do polygonal masonry (to explain Ahu Vinapu on Rapa Nui) but it seems there was a greater culture of stone masonry among the Pacific Islanders beyond Moai building. Have you looked into the stone money of the Yap Islanders? That is a weird culture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones
Wow I was raised there most my life and the stories of the marianas 🇲🇵 is crazy do you think there's a connection to Nan Madol islands... stories say that the chamorros conquered the Micronesian Islands before spain??that's one of my questions
Its just me seeing a pair of eyes and a mouth in each one of this two stones that makes like an entrance, at 4'36"...? If so, the holes were made in a very primitive way, conpairing to the smoothness of the bigger stones.... maybe the holes were made much after, by other people, but both small pillars at the entrance seems to have holes in the propper place where the eyes and mouth would be, if those represented some entity...
Latte stones aren’t 800 years old or 12,000 years old like one guy says he wants to bet on. They’re over a 1000 years old and our ancestors built them and yes they used them for grass huts 🤦🏽
I love your video lectures. But your voice tone goes goes up, every sentence. It sounds insecure and is annoying. Please just speak or if you speak like that, please speak in a way that is more aware, so that you not do that. Thanks. 😍

Very cool Chuck, never heard of these before, so thanks for posting
“ We was comin’ back from the Island of Tinian to Leyte. We just delivered the bomb, the Hiroshima bomb.” Quint
One of the first things I thought about. Was going to bring that up. Epic off the cuff movie speech by Robert Shaw...and after a few as the story goes.
More than a few. The Indianapolis story. Best ever in cinema. My opinion.
Yeah, in movie Jaws...Quint and the story of the U.S..S Indianapolis amidst radio silence is sunk after delivering the bombs.

Charles Mills Maybe it was the grandson of a Japanese soldier your granddad fought 😁.
I live in the Marianas/Micronesia. Most of the islands have latte stones like this. Guam has a bunch. Rota has some.
Do you have any pics you could post? Thanks
What's it like living there compared to a standard UK street??
QuadQ in Guam the north is more urbanized and in southern Guam it’s more country
QuadQ but i forgot about the northern islands cuz u haven’t been there in a while
Super cool!
Thanks again bro.
Peace and blessings
Nice one Chuck, very impressive hypostyle hall
Fascinating for sure. Assume this was part of a much larger land mass sunk with so much else 12K years ago or earlier catastrophe?
Great find. Thank you for sharing.
Another place I had never seen before. Thank you!

Great vid mate👍
From the weathering it looks really old !!!
these are very old way and was built way before the spanish in the 1500s came

Sorry we didn’t die out but the ancient Chamorros. Pure blood died out. We’re mixed now.

the latti with the "bowls" on top reminds me of coral castle in florida the pillar that has the cresent moon on top of it
Those are the caps and the proper spelling is " latte' " thank you for learning about my culture today.
Or whenecer u did
They look like corral .Wivh despite their size would not have the weight or hardness of similarly sized granite . Do you know or can you find what stone they are comprised of ?
Latte stones were made of either limestone, corral, or volcanic rock, if I remember correctly
Limestone
Do one on the canary island guanche people's! Don't think there's any ruins their just cool
ua-cam.com/video/zwa7EokSduM/v-deo.html
cf-apps7865 thanks man you're the best!!!! Don't know how I missed it, and those stepped structures are very interesting!!!!
Wow! Massive!
I knew I heard Tinian before ,,, in Jaws !!!!! I wonder if the Submerged lands around the island aren't also full of Megaliths ??!!
I grew up on guam, these latti stones were all over the island.
I was under the impression that Polynesians did not do polygonal masonry (to explain Ahu Vinapu on Rapa Nui) but it seems there was a greater culture of stone masonry among the Pacific Islanders beyond Moai building. Have you looked into the stone money of the Yap Islanders? That is a weird culture. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones
I think in my Palau video that I left a link to I go into that. Was strange.
Wow I was raised there most my life and the stories of the marianas 🇲🇵 is crazy do you think there's a connection to Nan Madol islands... stories say that the chamorros conquered the Micronesian Islands before spain??that's one of my questions
Yes that’s cool!
Local Chamorro from Saipan here…I doubt our latte stones were built to raise houses and prevent rats…they’re PORTALS!!!😳
Ahe! Chuck how are you
Just fine. A lazy morning watching golf with my bro who has a rare Saturday off. Thought I'd be productive before heading out.
@@cfapps7865 Thats awesome im in snow up to my knees my dog loves it I just shovel it lol!
I bet they are maybe 12,000 years old.
Nope
They arrived found in Guam, Rota, Tinian
Google “nan madol ruins” 👌🏽 ... also in micronesia
ua-cam.com/video/OVcxt909ur4/v-deo.html
Tinian features in WWII as well. Some of you need to read some history.
I mentioned that. Some of you need to listen.

It’s just made for supports for the houses
If you went to Rota you will see the latte were made
Latte stones aren’t 800 years old or 12,000 years old like one guy says he wants to bet on. They’re over a 1000 years old and our ancestors built them and yes they used them for grass huts 🤦🏽
