1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,800 Welcome back. My name is Hugh Newman. Some of you know me. Most of you probably. Some of you 2 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:22,000 don't. I organize the conference. I travel the world. I explore. And one of the things 3 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,200 I've been getting really into over the last six to eight months is looking at the megalithic 4 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,320 quarries. Now you might think that's a little bit strange. But actually it's a very important 5 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,600 part of the whole megalithic culture from different parts of the world. And I believe that it's 6 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:44,560 actually an ancient tradition where the birthplace of the temple is the quarry. So we're going 7 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:52,240 to look at some examples in this lecture and about how I believe these stones were chosen because 8 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:59,200 of their special powers because of their location. So there's geodyssey involved in the quarry location. 9 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,960 And also where the site was then placed and built according to where the quarry was. 10 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:13,600 Three maisons, ten plurs and even traditions today still revere the quarry as the sacred place 11 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:19,680 as the birthplace of the temple. And rituals even today are still carried out there. But first, 12 00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:26,080 I just want to show some respect to the great John Michelle. Many of you knew him. He was there. 13 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:32,960 The very start of megalithomania. In fact, he allowed us to use the name megalithomania from his 14 00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:39,200 1982 book, which is an absolute classic. And this is just small quote here. I'll let you read it yourself. 15 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,720 Just to give us an inkling of what we're dealing with even today, even though this was written 16 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:52,080 in 1969 from his great book The View over Atlantis. And he was aware of the birthplace of the temple. 17 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:58,240 He was aware of the quarry's and he mentions that in some of his writings. So today we're just 18 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:05,760 going to look at a few examples in the next 50 or 55 minutes. Obviously, Stonehenge, the blue stone 19 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:13,200 quarry in Procelli is a fascinating place in itself. But as Robin Heath has pointed out quite clearly, 20 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,600 it's related to the placement of Stonehenge. So we're going to have a quick look at that. 21 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:24,960 What's going to look at as one quarry in Egypt, Baalbeck as well, and Solomon's quarries, 22 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,520 which are very interesting. But we're going to have a good look at the Gebeckly Tepi. And it's 23 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:36,400 sister-side, Kara Han-Tepi, which is very unknown sight. But they revered until have this ancient 24 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,320 tradition I believe. Then we have the lazy stones of orientate Tambot in Peru and the quarry up 25 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:49,040 on the opposite mountain. And also on Easter Island and a couple of examples from the Olemek world 26 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:54,480 in Mexico. And now I'm going to just have a brief outline of how important it is and how 27 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,520 ritualised it has become. And now it's not only revered by the free maisons and previously the 28 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:08,560 temple is but also by native societies today. Stonehenge is the first example. Roughly 104 29 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:17,280 emails west of Stonehenge. We do have the Pricelli blue stone site. Here's just some nice shots of 30 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:23,360 Stonehenge taken on one of our tours a couple of years ago. And it was around even though it was built 31 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:29,520 that they think now about 3, 2, 5, 0, B, C. The blue stones were placed there at 2, 9, 5, 0, 32 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:34,880 B, C, according to various people. There is evidence though of earlier blue stone activity 33 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:40,880 with some of the shards found under the stones at Stonehenge. So this really fascinates me 34 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:47,520 suggesting that they were showing that the very earliest, the start, the start phase, the beginning 35 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:55,120 phase of Stonehenge was actually to do with Pricelli. The legend states that Merlin brought the stones 36 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:02,720 from Ireland which was written back in the 12 or 13 hundreds. And this is the oldest known depiction 37 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:10,080 illustration of Stonehenge showing Merlin with a giant. I believe this is Merlin. A lot of people 38 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,280 thought this was about, I think this is Merlin, instructing the giants to build Stonehenge. They were 39 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,720 said to have brought the stones over from Ireland but potentially is actually the blue stone site in Wales. 40 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,720 The famous lunation triangle discovered by Robin Heath. He's brothers here today obviously. 41 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:36,880 If it's expanded 2,500 times over the landscape, we get this linking the blue stone site with 42 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:44,400 Lundy, Ireland with Stonehenge. So does it suggest Stonehenge was placed according to where they 43 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,440 quarried the stone from originally the blue stone site. I suggest that might well be the case. 44 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,840 Recent researchers have been done there by various archaeologists who say the sacred springs 45 00:04:55,840 --> 00:05:02,960 there is actually still a sacred site and this energy was then put into Stonehenge. So there's 46 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:09,200 a lot of very interesting sort of theories and examples flying around about that. This just shows you 47 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,640 the actual one of the blue stone sites itself. You can see this beautiful rock. It's almost 48 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,600 almost cut and ready to go by the looks of it but this is actually how they form naturally. 49 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,040 And there are examples of stoneworking actually still at the quarry as though it's like a signature 50 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,600 of these ancient people leaving marks there so future generations could work out where the stones 51 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:38,320 actually came from. It's just a couple of examples of some of the Pythagorean triangles 52 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,040 linking sites across the landscape most notably here obviously with Stonehenge. 53 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:50,960 And even Peter Knight came up with this brilliant west-six esterum linking Stonehenge with a 54 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:57,440 place called Broccoli and Avery and Glastobree and other sites but the line here actually goes 55 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:05,600 to the blue stone site as well. It is actually this line here just extending and it even goes all 56 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:11,440 the way around the world which is something I get into more in my earth grid's book. So just show you 57 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:18,080 the importance of the quarry site the birthplace of the temple at Stonehenge which is quite a good 58 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:27,520 example. As one quarry that this is an absolutely fascinating place a lot of the stone throughout Egypt 59 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:33,280 was actually quarried from here there's several different quarries in the Aswan area. This unfinished 60 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:42,720 obelisk weighs 1168 tons which is one of the largest work stones on the planet. It's unfinished 61 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:49,360 there's still still in situ it's still partly attached to the bedrock. The biggest obelisk 62 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:57,200 ever erected in Egypt was around 500 tons this is over twice that weight and you can see you know 63 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:03,440 when you go to Egypt you look at some of these obelisk sort of over the country it's utterly incredible 64 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,640 and absolutely blew my mind when I first went there and actually witnessed some of these obelisks 65 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:16,480 but this one really fascinates me because it is an example of the biggest stone left in the quarry 66 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,840 that I always think there's from my research as you'll see today it says though they left a large 67 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:27,040 one in the quarry as well as it'd be in the sacred birthplace of the temple. So I've got a very 68 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:34,560 short video here I'm going to play about the quarry and about other sites that got that were built 69 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:44,080 from that particular stone. The other fish always is in Aswan weighs 1168 tons which is a remarkable 70 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:50,560 figure in itself what's also amazing is the fact that many of the stones the casing stones of 71 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:56,560 two of the pyramids on the geese of plateau actually came from Aswan the traveled all the way up 72 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:02,000 the Nile several hundred miles and they cased two of the pyramids not the great pyramid 73 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:09,920 other two pyramids with these particular stones that polygonal style and they're just an incredible 74 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:20,960 site to behold. So we can see that as red and black granite on this pyramid not just red granite as 75 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,480 originally thought there's like combination I believe this was part of the original construction 76 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,720 not later addition. It seems to be like it might still go on quite far up and it's just 77 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:47,680 toppled down some catadir to prevent. There are many other sites all over Egypt do come from Aswan 78 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:53,200 quarry you just sight like see this huge block here and you can just see the length of this it's 79 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:58,960 been precision carved whether it was done with these diarite balls really not sure about but 80 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,920 there's a lot more granite across Egypt than just this. It looks like this quarry there they 81 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:13,040 just scooped out the rock really perfectly just almost like its ice cream or butter and they've 82 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:18,720 just removed it as though it's an extremely easy process for them and they've left a mark here 83 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:24,800 with some higher eglifics on to fascinated. I wonder what that says who could have done this. 84 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,840 These are the dollarite balls that are said to have checked away and kind of created all these 85 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:38,320 obelists and other things here as one quarry but it doesn't really make sense I mean maybe they 86 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,160 as Markus Allen points out they were used for rolling the stones on. 87 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:49,920 No way that's just dollarite blocks doing that some kind of machinery looks like. 88 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,880 Anyway aswan quarry is an amazing place there's a lot more going on here the meat sea 89 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,480 I because of so much stone that's been taken to all these various other places often hundreds of miles away 90 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:10,240 there were geodetic connections between this this site and the geese pyramids 91 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:19,840 because there's a 365.4 mile length between them which basically marks out the days of the year so 92 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:25,360 it's just tip of the iceberg you can check out a full analysis article I did on this 93 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:35,920 on ancient dash origins dot net. So you can see this is a quick video I made about that I just 94 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:41,360 started show you that so it gives you some sort of first hand shots of it. This is just the 95 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:48,320 casing stone on the smaller pyramid the smallest pyramid at the geese plateau and you can just 96 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:54,080 see the size of these these are beautifully cut these are transported 600 miles from aswan quarry 97 00:10:54,640 --> 00:11:00,000 and these are exactly the same style you find in Peru and Bolivia but also in Turkey and 98 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:06,880 various other places around the world. In fact the earliest known directors of the aswan quarry 99 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:13,280 was employed by ramacies the third name hurry about 1170 BC although there's evidence obviously 100 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,680 because of the construction of the pyramids that it was used much much earlier but this is the earliest 101 00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:23,840 known date that the aswan quarry was in use it was in use for at least a thousand years although 102 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:29,200 technically probably two or three thousand and even inside the great pyramid we have the 70 103 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:36,640 ton granite lentils above the Kings Chamber these are also from aswan quarry so it becomes quite 104 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,760 a task when you actually think about it some of the tonnage involved here and it really does 105 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,120 suggest there was a very high technology or very sophisticated technique at least of how they 106 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:55,440 would move it to say it was just chipped away by these dire right spears or balls is I'm not too sure 107 00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:03,920 about that if you look at some of the intricate carving technologies throughout Egypt you can't 108 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:09,360 really say it's actually that and it would literally I mean some tests were done by Christopher Dunn 109 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:17,600 and Egyptologist Marglena and they say just to release aswan the aswan obelisk from the quarry 110 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:25,360 would take eight or nine months of 24 hours a day chipping of about 13 or 150 people doing it 111 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:30,640 just to release it from the bedrock and that's before you lift it out the carve it properly 112 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:36,000 with all the beautiful hieroglyphics and then try and transport it to 100 miles so there's a lot more 113 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:42,880 going on here then meets the eye and also we find the same markings in various parts of the world this is 114 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,840 aswan quarry on the left here and this is actually from the quarry orientate tambour in Peru 115 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,960 upon the opposite mountain side orientate tambour which in the sacred valley on the way to match 116 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:59,680 you picture and so we have exactly the same style markings that look like it's some kind of scooping 117 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:06,160 technology like ice cream even and so there's obviously a lot more here than what we're being told 118 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:12,720 and on top of the the great aswan obelisk the unfinished obelisk are some markings of where they were 119 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:18,880 cutting out another obelisk from the larger obelisk which I find particularly interesting but this 120 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:27,120 is quite late probably Roman or later and it's almost like the obelisk itself was left in the quarry 121 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,680 and was meant to be untouched and it was meant to be left like that there's just a theory I've been 122 00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:38,480 developing and actually marked a specific geodetic spot within the landscape as we saw briefly in that 123 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:47,120 video but also it's like a revered in blood with power sacred stun and so you don't touch it and 124 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:53,760 you leave it as it is and it's actually part of the greater system of temples across all of Egypt 125 00:13:55,120 --> 00:14:02,080 so this is just a small discovery I may well have such in this it may have meaning it may not but between 126 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:12,000 aswan quarry the obelisk and the great pyramids of geyser this is actually 365.4 127 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,240 nautical miles between them which I thought was particularly interesting obviously because it's the 128 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:23,280 amount of days in a year and does suggest that they may it may have been a marking the lower boundary 129 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,920 of Egypt and it could have but it may be they were going to erect it exactly or very close 130 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:37,200 to where the quarry is and various calculations were done with this as you can see on the right 131 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:44,640 there I discussed more in detail in my earth grids book but what's interesting as well is that 132 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:51,120 Clouse Smith who is the director of excavation until he unfortunately died last year 133 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,120 he stated in his book in ancient Egypt the dragon and erect and of holy pillars was an important part 134 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:02,560 of ritual events and he had some understanding of the actual construction and quarrying of the site 135 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:09,840 was to do with a ritual technique so let's have a look at the Beckley Tepi itself 136 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:16,160 obviously most of you as anyone here not heard anything about Beckley Tepi before a few of you okay 137 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:24,160 Beckley Tepi is an incredible site in southeast Turkey it's 30 miles from San Yerfa or Irfa 138 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:32,080 used to be called which is also the birthplace of Abraham and ancient Odessa and there's various 139 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,440 circles of stone with these T-shaped pillars are being found all over the site I've been there a 140 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:43,760 few times with once we've Graham Hancock and Andrew Collins we do trips there and it's basically 141 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:50,800 7,000 years older than stone hens or 6,500 years older than the pyramids so it's an incredibly 142 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,440 ancient site so when the pyramids were being built what stone hens were being built this was already ancient 143 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:02,160 this had been closed down buried and forgotten about for about five or six thousand years before any 144 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:07,840 of these other major sites were even being discovered cloud smith before he died he mentioned 145 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:13,440 and conversation with Andrew that he believes it could be up to 14,000 years old so the data 146 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:20,000 to get a pushback further and further with Beckley Tepi is another example of some of the pillars 147 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,000 and you can see the beautiful carvings on and you can't see these kind of things all over them 148 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,000 and sort of weird T-shaped pillars all in the circles or facing inwards 149 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:37,920 it's just some more examples is one of the enclosures which has got some incredible carvings on 150 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,360 and so there are tall marks and cup marks on them as well you can actually see them not very well here 151 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:49,360 but on top of some of the stones you do find cup marks like we find in Britain and various other 152 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:54,240 parts of the world it isn't an example here just so one of the enclosures they're just currently 153 00:16:54,320 --> 00:17:00,560 building a roof over the top of this to protect it so it's not it's got a lot of wood around it 154 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,880 at the moment but again I've built a proper sort of white roof above it so it'd be much more 155 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,880 pristine and there'd be nothing in the way so you can view it in its net more natural state 156 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:14,640 but one of the things about this site is that it was used they think for about two thousand years 157 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:19,440 and then it was deliberately reconstructed because it got damaged and then buried under millions 158 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:25,760 of tons of dirt and really carefully buried like it was being preserved for future generations to 159 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:32,800 eventually find it which did happen in the mid-1990s it just shows you an artist reconstruction 160 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,680 and the potential alignment with serious or this is obviously being annihilated by Andrew Collins who's 161 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:45,200 made a signal slinks with this as well this just shows you the area where it is but even here 162 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:53,520 going way back there are some stones still in the original quarry which are about half a mile 163 00:17:53,520 --> 00:18:02,560 from the site this one here is roughly 22 to 24 feet long depending on how you measure it 164 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:08,160 as you huge one it's really thick it's much bigger than anything actually at Gbeckley Tepi 165 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:14,560 has no relief carvings it's still in a rough state this is Andrew Collins just sort of pointing 166 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,960 out where it is by standing on it it's really hard to find you can barely you know let's 167 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:25,440 you know where it is it's really hard to find it but from my level you just can't see it whatsoever 168 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:30,640 so it's almost like you have to get above it to see what's going on there it rests on a slight slope 169 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,480 cloud smith deduce that the technique employed must have been carried out by surrounding the 170 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:42,800 outer shapes with small ditch which are made by picking out of the rock you know with stone tools 171 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:50,080 and then kind of lifting out and pushing it out and then you have to transport and lift 20 to 30 172 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:57,120 ton blocks this one's about 50 tons so this is not bad for a pretty agricultural group of hunter 173 00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:02,160 gatherers potentially who were living here at this time so you can just see the magnitude of that 174 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:09,840 then they would have to take it all the way up to the hill and place it up there this is a smaller one 175 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:14,720 which is just found nearby this is this is this is the larger one we were talking about the 176 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:21,280 famous 22 to 24 feet one but as we were walking back we actually found another one this one here 177 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:28,640 we found these squared off blocks with this T-shaped pillar still in the ground suggesting it's 178 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:34,000 another one that was going to be used and never was this one's about 12 foot tall which is some 179 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:39,680 of the ones and some of the enclosures that could be exactly to be about that height it shows you a 180 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:48,400 close up of it they must have used obsidian or something sharp to actually carve the stones because 181 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:56,160 you look at the intricacy of some of the carvings it's really quite incredible so as you more 182 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:07,040 examples of it just from above this is a short little video I'm just going to show off 183 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:18,160 just moving around to you have a proper look at it you can see the square shape blocks all around here 184 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:26,480 let me have the main pillar just here there's the main top very large top part of it very similar 185 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:34,240 to the Vulture pillar and go down there you obviously have the main length of it fascinating that 186 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:40,160 is may just will be another pillar and one of the other things I found which is kind of intriguing 187 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,160 just while I was researching this and I was looking at the geodesy and the connections between sites 188 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:50,480 worldwide is that between completely teppy and the core cancer which is the center of the ancient 189 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:56,480 ink or pre ink world in Peru not too far from oil and take a handboe is the distance the 190 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:05,040 surface distance between that is 7928 miles which is roughly the earth's diameter which is kind 191 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:10,560 of fascinated me to say maybe you could really question what else is going on here and I've done 192 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:16,960 another lecture previously at other conferences as well looking at the comparisons and I've done 193 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:22,000 an article on Graham Hancock's website you can take a look at as well comparing Gebeckly teppy 194 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:27,200 with the ancient sites in Peru and Bolivia because there are a remarkable similarities and it 195 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,960 potentially if you know my hypothesis is correct it would push the dates back in Peru and Bolivia 196 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:39,200 several thousand years to a much earlier epoch and so I think there's something going on there you 197 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:44,400 also have the tradition of the naval or the belly hill the name of the core cancer means the 198 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:50,160 center or the naval the name of Gebeckly teppy means the naval or the belly hill and so you have to 199 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,480 kind of question this tradition stretching in different different parts of the world 200 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,960 yeah obviously we do our own trips there so please join us in September if you can 201 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,240 Andrew and myself are taking just for a few days we're going over there and looking at various sites 202 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:12,720 including Gebeckly teppy and Kara Hanthepay which is an absolutely wonderful size it's 203 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:19,760 very strange place this is Kara Hanthepay is like the sister site to Gebeckly teppy it's not been 204 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:25,680 excavated whatsoever all they've done is done a ground survey collecting various discoveries on 205 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:33,760 the surface and surveyed it it's got some very interesting comparisons with Gebeckly teppy 206 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:39,920 it consists of tea shaped pillars it looks like it's been deliberately buried all you can see now 207 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:45,280 a days I mean this is one of the small tea shaped pillars very badly weathered and this is the top 208 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:51,680 of a tea shaped pillar still in the ground so most of it is still under the ground yet to be excavated 209 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:58,800 which really baffles us and this goes back about 10,500 years so a couple of thousand years younger 210 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:05,680 than Gebeckly teppy although it would have been in use towards the later phase of Gebeckly teppy 211 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:13,440 so they may have moved over to this area on the Teckteck mountains again about 20 miles from San 212 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:21,360 Leofa you can just see what we're talking about here Gebeckly's there Kara Hanthepay San Leofa 213 00:23:21,360 --> 00:23:25,920 is just under Gebeckly teppy about here the valley churries and other site as well 214 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:32,640 which has been completely destroyed because of dam and fates some artificial lakes were built 215 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:38,560 but by September the full site is going to be reconstructed in San Leofa Museum 216 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:44,080 and obviously we have Chattel Hoiak as well which is also contemporary with the later stages of Gebeckly teppy 217 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:52,160 Kara Teppay is not a tourist site so you can't really visit there easily you have to kind of know where it is 218 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:59,440 we've mapped it out we've eventually found it on our last trip there when Andrew Collins went there in 2004 219 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:05,680 he was told by the local family you own sort of owned the farmland around it that if anyone visited 220 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:11,680 it the kid who showed them around would actually get a beating luckily no I've got a beating this time 221 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:17,600 so we were safe and they just hang out with you have cups of tea and let you explore free of charge 222 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,720 it's a great place but another little video here it's want to show you so just to show you some 223 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:30,480 close-ups of the very interesting quarry stones that are still in situ at Kara Hanthepay very similar 224 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:38,960 to what we find at Gebeckly teppy just behind me this is the quarry stone the huge tea shaped pillar 225 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:46,000 which is at least probably 18 feet long found here at Kara Hanthepay just to land the west side 226 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:53,200 about 30 degrees slope from the main enclosure it's fascinating discovery it's actually much more 227 00:24:53,200 --> 00:25:00,560 noticeable than the one at Gebeckly teppy but again we have an example here of finding the largest stone 228 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:05,840 in the quarry so the largest stone is actually the one that never made it up unless they obviously 229 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:11,200 carve it down to a certain size to do all the relief carvings on it we're not sure about that but 230 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:17,280 it's fascinating that it's here and it just gives some idea of how they quarried cut but how they 231 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:22,640 lifted it is obviously a whole different matter which we'll have to get into another time so you can 232 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,960 really see how they've actually cut it from the bedrock as well which kind of fascinates me 233 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:32,080 has a metal of the maniac they've actually sort of cut it and they must have put some picks between 234 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:37,280 it maybe some wooden might have been when they froze it they could have froze and wood and I would 235 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:43,200 regret the start who knows let's take a closer look anyway in this little Marcus thick is 236 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:49,680 just some idea of the length we are estimating at 18 to 20 feet and you just see the way 237 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:57,120 it's a bit here it's kind of being shown the teapot of the pillar and over there as well it's 238 00:25:57,120 --> 00:26:03,040 like a regular shape pillar also down here you can see it with a cut it from the bedrock 239 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:16,480 and the pebble bottom on it as well anyway that gives you some idea of just when it's 240 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,920 a sort of show you a little video of that to give you an idea of the landscape there as well 241 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:27,600 again it's well worth of visit and I believe this could have been deliberately left there again 242 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:32,800 like we find it as one quarry this is my friend Kevin Fish he came with us on the trip and 243 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,080 we are here and he actually just found the stone because that we then we could find it 244 00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:42,160 it's another close up of it here and obviously what we also find there is not only the T-shaped 245 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:47,280 pillars in the quarry but also these cut marks which is something we find all over go back to 246 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:52,000 the tepe all over Kerahan tepe and the ancient sites of southeast Turkey but obviously all over 247 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:59,200 Britain and various other parts of the world this is another stone found on the opposite side of the hill 248 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:07,200 at Kerahan tepe which we think is another unfinished pillar this is the same pillar here 249 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:14,720 and these are just some images from Andrew's 2004 visit which with similar arches to 250 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,280 the go back to the tepe we find like the serpent carvings here beautifully cut blocks 251 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:25,600 Andrew posing there various other things this sort of strange carvings here but the other thing 252 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:30,240 about Kerahan tepe is that rather than being in circular enclosures like we find it cobeckly 253 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,840 it actually is like all the pillars are like go up in an avenue like almost like a serpent 254 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:40,480 sort of like the zigzag going up to the top of the hill coming in from other parts of the hill 255 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:47,680 all into the same spots so it's a very unusual site and I do I do really like it then something 256 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,880 about that place but I think it's because it's been untouched I'm not sure where that's there again 257 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:58,320 maybe it's because it's linking to Peru there's me Brian Foyce that I've already silver 258 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:04,880 having a giggle orientate amber orientate amber and people know about this this is a quite 259 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:13,120 famous megalithic site on the in the sacred valley of ancient Peru the dating of it is really 260 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:19,440 under scrutiny because it looks super ancient there's incredibly old like and on it and things like 261 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:25,120 this but there's a quarry on the other side of the hill this just shows you some of the examples 262 00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:31,200 of the stonework orientate amber and even some what looks like teeshape pillars carved out 263 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:37,040 solid granite but it's the lazy stones that really interest me and there's a lazy boy there 264 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:42,160 with the lazy stones and this is actually what they call there's a whole bunch of these between 265 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,520 the quarry which is a few miles away we have four hour hike up the top of another mountain so 266 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:52,240 they had to bring the stones down from the mountain and then go up to another mountain top 267 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:58,160 orientate amber including crossing a river and rough swampy terrain and this is one of the stones 268 00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,480 that didn't make it it's almost like they were kind of levitating them from mountain top to mountain 269 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,880 in top then they just lost concentration when a pretty girl walked by or something and plummeted 270 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:12,960 into the ground and so there's various various of these marking the trail up to the mountain top 271 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:19,200 at the quarry this is David Children's he's been up there I'm gonna be going up there in June 272 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:24,080 on our next trip but you can see they've even got examples of what looks like a wheel to sort of 273 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,880 move the stones around and he's just some of the examples up on the mountain top on the quarry 274 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:36,320 and again we find the same markings here as we find it as one in Egypt he's just another old 275 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:42,000 photo of some of the quarry at the top of the mountain there's a huge area around the mountain 276 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:46,480 it's really hard to find all the stones apparently but I'm gonna go and find out when I go there 277 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:52,320 in June this is David getting ready to take off and pointing out some saw marks on one of the 278 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:58,720 largest blocks up in the quarry and he believes it's like circular sort of diamond tip saws 279 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:05,120 and blades or cutting the stones much like what you find in Egypt he's just another one of the stones 280 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:13,600 here and so throughout throughout Bolivia and Peru you do find examples of these quarries many 281 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:19,520 of the stones for example at Tijuanaque come from the other side of Lake Titicaca you know 100 or 200 miles 282 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:25,680 so either they brought them across the lake and dragged them into place or there's some other 283 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:31,680 technology which is probably how they move the stones here at Oientei Tambo we get a similar 284 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:39,120 situation on Easter Island this just shows you a nice impression of the people's working 285 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:47,600 to you know get the mow-white out of the bedrock but this is called El Gagenti and Renau Rerecco 286 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,640 quarry which is 72 feet tall this is this is how tall this particular level of this and more 287 00:30:52,640 --> 00:31:00,880 photos in a moment it weighs between 160 and 182 metric tons the weight of tilt to error 288 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:06,880 planes pretty much but experts believe that they had they finished the mow-y they would have been 289 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:13,520 almost impossible to put it into place but the legend states that they walked into place on 290 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:19,280 Easter Island or Rappanui that they sort of met they walked themselves and they always walked around 291 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:25,200 the magnetic area which is the volcanic area and then ended up in their final position which is 292 00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:32,320 very interesting it's also interesting this is a hundred tons heavier than any other mow-y on Easter Island 293 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:39,280 as it shows you it in situ you can still see the way it's still connected to the bedrock there's 294 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:44,000 also quite a little story here this is from Thor Haridol in his book Acute Acute Acute 295 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:50,880 I just read the quote and I'll which you lived on the Renau Rerecco area the time when the 296 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:56,320 sculptors made the great figures they breathed that breathed life into the stone giants and made them 297 00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:01,760 go where they should but one day the sculptors had eaten a big lobster and when the witch found 298 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:06,320 the empty shell and realized none of the content had been given to her she was so angry that she 299 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,960 made all the walking statues full flat on their noses and they were never moved since then 300 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:18,640 that's one of the legends as she shows you another beautiful example another angle of that particular 301 00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:26,400 stone that's left in the quarry and again we have another example of the largest stone 302 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:32,960 and the whole culture there being left in situ marking the sacred quarry the sacred birthplace 303 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:40,160 of the temple in my opinion I believe that's what partly it was all about the old Mac as well all these 304 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:45,680 old Mac heads we found along the Gulf Coast of Mexico all the stone comes from the Tutslamountins 305 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:50,240 which is rough it's pinned to which side is but at least 60 miles away across mountains it's 306 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:57,600 very swampy there and rivers and lakes and really rough terrain rocked terrain as well and yeah 307 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:05,520 they managed to move these multi-tana heads blocks of stone through these different these different 308 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:12,720 areas so it was all most of the stone they say comes from the area it's got a few little 309 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:18,720 details here but even actually in the quarry itself there is an area where the indigenous people 310 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,680 still reverent as a sacred site and rituals and ceremonies still take place there and there's still 311 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:29,040 actually an altar one of the famous all-mic altars similar to what we got left there with this 312 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:36,240 of the shame and emerging from the rock he acts there's actually examples of still being used 313 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:41,600 today the ones that never got finished or deliberately I believe left there so there's a lot 314 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:47,520 there's a lot more going on either meets the eye this is this is the area of the Tuxlamountins all around here 315 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,800 this is one area where the stone comes from this is Levente one of the main sites 316 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,680 sandler ends on many other sites nearby the these three are the main sites 317 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:02,640 treads of potas sandler ends on Levente and this is the area they all came from the stone they 318 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:08,800 so looking at several miles for each trip this is just a view of the Tuxlamountins 319 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:14,880 where one of the quarry sites is this is shows you actually some of the actual stone they were 320 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:20,240 using from that particular area and again it does suggest that it could have been a tradition that was 321 00:34:20,240 --> 00:34:26,800 passed down through generations where they sort of still revere the sacred quarry as part of the 322 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:32,560 greater complex let's move back to the middle east and look at balbec this is obviously some 323 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:37,280 incredibly large stones here as you can see here but the best ones are in the quarry of course 324 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:42,720 officially it's a Roman temple but that's under scrutiny because they're not known to have moved 325 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:49,040 stones quite this size they got to about 300 tons was largest they moved but these are over a 326 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:55,840 thousand tons each particularly large really but there is evidence that the canonites there's 327 00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:01,840 legends of giants going way back there's a whole load of information I have I've done an article 328 00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:07,440 sinnet land is rising magazine actually in the latest issue about american based and also on 329 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:13,440 ancient dash origins dot net of denonatical about all these different sites but quite a lengthy 330 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:19,200 one about balbec so I'm not going to go into it a full detail here but it has links it was said 331 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:24,160 it was refortified by Israel's king's solemn and I look at Solomon shortly around 970 BC 332 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:31,280 and but what's really interesting is that they found another stone there these are the known stones 333 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:38,320 in the quarry this is the stone of the south this weighs 1,242 tons it's been estimated this is a 334 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:43,360 photo thanks to Brian forester he recently visited there and sent me some photos and this one 335 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:48,160 has been worked you can see they're kind of doing things here and reusing the stone which I think 336 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:53,920 what unusual probably a later Roman thing they were doing this is the stone of the pregnant woman 337 00:35:54,560 --> 00:36:00,480 you can just see the magnificent service this is just over a thousand tons this one so how they 338 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:07,040 would have moved that slightly uphill to the main temple of Jupiter is very confusing but it's what's 339 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:12,640 down here a point out in a moment is very interesting this is shows you the location of them 340 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,920 how they are they're even sort of almost aligned in the same direction which I thought I had 341 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:24,640 meaning but I couldn't find any geodicy connected with that this is actually the trilithonic 342 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:30,640 call it where's three major stones in alignment they'll 800 tons each with some other 400 343 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:36,800 hand stones making up this what I believe is a retaining wall because it's on a sort of slope and 344 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:43,120 how they got these here is a really really big question there's been lots of theories put forward 345 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:48,480 that would have taken like 40,000 people different techniques wrapping it in wood in a cylinder 346 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:54,800 rolling it uphill I'm not sure but it would probably just a bunch of giants doing it in my opinion 347 00:36:56,080 --> 00:37:02,240 so that settles that one this shows you some other examples which you don't have to see it 348 00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:07,280 bow back this is just some of the columns some of the great walls and the Romans probably did do 349 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:13,600 some of these some of these columns actually as one granite so they got these all the way up there 350 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:19,760 from southern Egypt this is shows you some of the larger blocks making up the foundation walls 351 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:25,680 these are the 400 tons and 400 tonners I think beautifully cut and carved very in the style of 352 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:34,400 Egypt and Peru but last July a new discovery was made they decided to clean up the quarry a bit and 353 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:40,960 just swept a lot of dirt out the way and they found a 1,650 tonne block of stone as you do 354 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:48,400 it was Janine Abdel and Massey was the an 18 our archaeologists uncovered it and this is actually 355 00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:55,280 here this is the stone of the pregnant woman here this is one of the largest stone we saw a moment ago 356 00:37:55,280 --> 00:38:02,400 and under virtually underneath it it was this one so this is now that previously was the largest stone 357 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,520 in the world now this one is the largest stone in the world and there's now second place 358 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:11,760 so it's very interesting that they've really discovered this how and they would have moved this stone 359 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:19,600 is a whole other quandary about how could have possibly done it it's measured at 19.6 meters long 360 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:27,120 six meters wide of 5.5 meters thick and it just really is quite magnificent this just shows you a 361 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:32,160 map of where actually Bellbacks down actually down here this area not there but interestingly 362 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:38,640 research of course Celia Hall who are work with she's sort of located all the biblical giants 363 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:43,280 and giant discoverers and ax heads and extremely large ax heads and things like that there's a lot 364 00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:49,200 of evidence that this whole area was the canonite area where giants existed so maybe they have 365 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,600 something to do with it we're going to get more into that tomorrow night because it's one of the 366 00:38:53,600 --> 00:39:00,880 very strange stories I mean there's an old tradition that states that the fortress of Bellback 367 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:07,520 is one of the most ancient buildings in the world came the son of Adam built it in the year 133 368 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:13,200 of the creation I'm just reading this out during a fit of raving madness he gave it the name 369 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:17,840 of a son in or can people it would giants who were punished for the inequalities by the flood 370 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:24,880 so there's legends that go way back relating giants to these sites and it does actually link 371 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:31,120 just sort of link with the area of the geese of platter as well there is some geodicy there 372 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:38,160 of like a three four five triangle but also Patricia Awan and we are he's sent out 373 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:44,080 70 of these photos and these to show you some caves around the back of Bellback so there's some 374 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:49,360 evidence here some other stone work where they were quarrying and you can go inside these caves 375 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:55,840 which is like secret little ritual temples and I believe perhaps Bellback was the same 376 00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:01,120 principle was had the same principles the same traditions as many of these other sites 377 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:06,000 who have been looking at in this lecture that they deliberately left these extremely large stones 378 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:12,720 in the quarries for future generations to go God how did they do that but partly I think because 379 00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:17,680 it was actually marking the birthplace of the temple which was a very large temple there at Bellback 380 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:24,080 indeed and so I think there's something in there which I kind of have been looking into quite thoroughly 381 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:29,120 but also we have you know there's always links with Solomon and Bellback and other places and 382 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:37,360 Solomon's temple this is it this is an interesting place this is very very it's around Jerusalem area 383 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:42,000 this is a bunch of caves under the ground there where a lot of the stones the bell Jerusalem 384 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:48,080 actually came from but three maisons and even possibly temples were associated with this place 385 00:40:48,720 --> 00:40:54,000 which kind of intrigue me because rituals potentially still take place there it's a show 386 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:59,600 is some other examples here and there's examples there's evidence of people being in there 387 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:06,560 thousands of years of rituals taking place there and then more recently three maisons do some 388 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:13,120 of their actual initiations there as well which is intriguing and I believe the three maisons are 389 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:19,840 one of the only groups of people who actually maintained the medalistic knowledge the techniques 390 00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:25,120 and the ways that they could move quarry and cut these stones to such perfection that we still 391 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:33,520 marvel at today it's a show as you are the cave entrance actually this particular area was in 392 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:39,680 1868 it's where a place where the first recorded Masonic ceremony took place in Palestine and it's 393 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:46,880 actually made the 13th of that year 1868 and this certificate came from MW Bro Robert Morris 394 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:53,200 past grandma so the grand lodge of Kentucky who believed this was be used for a very very long time 395 00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:59,520 but also we have this this is the western wall the base of the western wall in Jerusalem 396 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:06,400 which we have this is roughly I think 570 tons this is very similar style to bow back it as 397 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:11,360 precision engineering and carvings probably came from the quarry we were just looking at 398 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:17,680 and it's part of the western wailing wall the very base underground part of it this is 399 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:23,200 shows you another angle on it it just shows you here it's very intrigued by the sort of beautiful 400 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:28,800 precision almost like relief carvings here of these blocks and you have all these niches in 401 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:34,400 them probably where the candles were but how at earth were they doing this going back into prehistory 402 00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:43,760 um it really is not really being answered and this was in 1889 uh T-Fisher unwinn 403 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:48,000 quoted a massiveness of the workers on par with the Egyptian pyramid kings and the perfection 404 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,880 of the cutting and fitting of the stone which is nearly equal so even back in 1889 these were 405 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:58,880 being revered as such and then we have some of the measurements they're using very specific 406 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:04,160 measurements to use an inches between the blocks and indent and various things so they 407 00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:13,600 they had a very sophisticated technology there recently I just came across this is actually a 408 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:18,560 TV program I saw about I think it was on Discovery Channel or History and actually the guy who 409 00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:24,160 goes underground all these underground caverns and caves all around the world and uh the only place 410 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:28,480 I could find information about this was on that video I found it really hard to find anything else 411 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:35,360 but uh so Peter's book quarry and Belgium is an incredible place and I really do want to visit here 412 00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:42,480 and um it's about 300 kilometers long underground most of it has been carved out 413 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:51,200 the templates were involved in this place up to around 1470 AD and it's believed that most of the 414 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:58,160 churches and cathedrals in that part of the world had stone coming from this quarry but it's 415 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:04,720 nice and known ritual center used by the Templars and later the free mason so it's almost like 416 00:44:04,720 --> 00:44:11,600 they had some magical kind of technique to either cut the stone move the stone there's markings 417 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:16,880 throughout this quarry as you can see here uh this is out the best that is just captured from 418 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:23,120 the video but they show really intricate carving techniques and massive amounts of stone thousands 419 00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:29,920 and thousands of tons were being moved here and out of the quarry lifted and very large blocks 420 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:35,360 were being used throughout Belgium and various other places recently they found a whole bunch of these 421 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:40,800 carvings and and paintings on the wall which do suggest you can't really see very clearly the 422 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:48,320 only ones I could get from the video um I do suggest they were kind of showing some of their 423 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:55,200 ritual techniques which included quite strange things I probably won't go into here but kind of some 424 00:44:55,200 --> 00:45:00,480 of the things that Peter might have mentioned and is talk but very dark rituals that probably 425 00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:05,360 and now still being used a various parts of the world which could have been used to sort of instigate 426 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:11,600 magical powers of moving these stones so um so you said this quick survey around the world 427 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:16,560 and I just wanted to sort of keep this fairly short so we can keep on time today um which we're 428 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:23,360 kind of doing okay um so really I'm just just want to summarize what I've found over from my research 429 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:28,560 here is that I really believe that there's something about the birthplace of the temple I think 430 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:33,520 it's a geod not only is it to do a geodicy it's to do with the placement of the later site 431 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:40,960 was marked according to where the stone actually came from but I believe the ritual technique 432 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:45,840 and the actual magical technique that had a cutting and carving and the secret ways they moved 433 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:50,320 these stones it's still there to be found out it's just a case of trying to work out how and 434 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:56,160 if they did it and so you know we must you know revere these ancient peoples and I think you know 435 00:45:56,160 --> 00:46:01,520 maybe we have to join the free maids and it's to find out exactly how they did it yes 436 00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:06,240 there was actually a grouping glass debris out here so um I want to let me in 437 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,760 anyway so I'm just going to close up with that so I just wanted to thank you for listening 438 00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:18,000 we have any uh have any questions I'll be around in the breaks and um we'll be back here in 15 minutes 439 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:21,040 thank you very much 440 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,520 you 441 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,520 you
