These videos on these obscure Olmec sites came from a smaller channel that focuses on Mesoamerican Archaeology and I find it puzzling that of all the videos out there on YouTube that have done exposés on the Olmec, none of them have ever featured these particular ruins. Ruins that are easily some of the most “Megalithic” in all of Mesoamerica in terms of the size of the blocks and easily some of the most important Olmec ruins, period. The large carved rocks found in the vicinity of the acropolis structures are especially enigmatic as well, with nothing else quite like this found anywhere in the ancient Americas. The location of this site is also quite anomalous in that it’s built high up on the top of a mountain ridge, seemingly far out of the way and not a location where you’d assume people would want to settle at and create such robust infastructure using such imposing raw materials.
Vlad9vt is one of the few independent researchers out there who digs deep and takes the time to find fresh content and showcase obscure archaeological sites that most have never seen or heard of. Luke Caverns has also done a good job when it comes to the Olmec specifically, taking the time to shed light on many of the hidden Olmec artifacts that are housed in remote shacks that double as museums in the daytime that literally no one ever visits. Unveiling these mysterious and wild Olmec Megalithic treasures that mainstream academics apparently don’t like to speak on for whatever the reasons. Most of these artifacts are only even known about at all because locals took the time to gather and preserve them within this tiny secure building, protecting them from looters. Stolen antiquities are big business.
The Olmec were crazy and their somewhat anomalous appearance in the Mesoamerican historical and archeological record is beyond fascinating in my opinion. Just what was going on here?
Us casual researchers should always be on the lookout for fakes. You cannot assume that everything you see put out there as authentic artifacts are indeed legit. The sad reality is that there are many more fake pieces than you’d like to believe and in some instances the fakes outnumber the legit artifacts. Especially with Middle Eastern artifacts in particular. But with some of these Olmec stone carvings, like the 3 pictured below, they seem way too crisp and clean and new looking to me at first glance. The Olmec were the oldest of all the Mesoamerican cultures and these carvings do not look thousands of years old. I don’t care if the front side was buried in mud and “preserved”. I see no patina here. WiseUp was the first to teach me to look out for these kinds of examples of fakes and what to look for and to not just accept whatever archeologists put out as 100% fact. I am not accusing the archeologists of faking these objects persay, but locals in conjunction with certain collegiate administrators can often be the culprits when it comes to faking history and do so for a variety of different reasons ranging from cash to clout to paradigm reinforcement
I have never once come across any of the Megalithic Olmec sites featured in the above videos on any of the most popular channels about ancient Megalithic sites in the YouTube community. Most of the YouTube channels that feature this kind of subject matter will just show the same sites over and over and over again. Over and over and over at nauseum. I don’t get it. UnchartedX does this. Brien Foerster kinda does this. Mystery History does this big time. I am not even sure any humans run that channel anymore. It’s ridiculous. They covet the same 3 or 4 sites in Peru and the same 3 or 4 sites in Egypt, repeating the same spiel about “lost ancient high technology” endlessly. Cmon guys. Why? It’s mind numbing to watch the YT algorithm always pushing the same repetitive channels onto my feed, despite having unsubscribed from them. They push UnchartedX especially hard for some reason and he is the worst repetition offender of all and a waste of researcher talent. They never even take the time to take a look at these sites from a different angle and entertain alternate explanations as to what we might be looking at.
The channel WiseUp takes these guys head on and questions their conclusions and points out the fallacy of logic that much of their work is based upon. I will give Brien Foerster credit though in that he does acknowledge the possibility of some of these stones being cast using geopolymers and also admits the possibility that some of the material could have been petrified as well. It’s also important to point out that I do believe he is 100% correct about the solar flare theory and that we might be due for the next solar flare event in the near future. But the rest of the YouTube personalities within this sphere are just obsessed with the theory that these stones were all cut using ultrasonic diamond-tipped saw blades or melted using cymatic frequency resonating machines. I’m not discounting the possibility that technology like this could have existed, but they have an unhealthy fixation with these theoretical technologies being the sole explanation for how these ancient structures were built and are missing much of the bigger picture as a result.
For example: it’s obvious that a lot of what are considered “rock cut” megaliths are instead petrified masses of material that bear the ancient imprints of whatever was pressed up against it that has since rusted away and/or disintegrated over long periods of time while submerged under water. Large pieces of ancient infastructure made of metals or even wood that has either rusted away or disintegrated while submerged underwater up until the point the deluge waters eventually receded to their current level.
He points out very apparent traces of what appears to be the outline of very specific types of machinery embedded within the body of these large masses of stone. As if the chunk of rock itself is a piece of machinery that has been coated in ash and its surface slowly infused and layered with calcium and other minerals, eventually hardening into the clump of stone you see now through this gradual petrification process. But they are fixated on these advanced ancient stone cutting machines having been responsible for the marks that we see. As if the ancients were just inefficiently cutting away huge chunks of rock in random areas at random sizes for no real decipherable purpose. I do think that the ancients had enormous saw blades that they used to cut materials with. I believe they were the same kinds of saws we have today and that they used them to cut wood just like we do. Many of these saw marks you can find on basalt all over ancient Egypt can be easily explained by the entire Giza plateau having been submerged under water for a lengthy period of time and wooden materials undergoing the process of petrification during the same period. Tannis is a great place to find very clearly apparent examples of petrified statues and other large objects.
It sucks that a lot of the areas where some of the best archaeological research on the Olmec potentially could be carried out at happens to be smack in the middle of narco territory. Several archeologists have actually been murdered by cartel gangs while conducting digs in Olmec country. Another obstacle is the marshy terrain and ever-migrating path of the river system that cuts through the heart of the tres zapotes Olmec site where some of grandest Olmec artifacts have been dug out from. Causing much of the best archaeological evidence to be washed away out into the river delta and then to the ocean.
It’s hard to fathom just how many enigmatic ancient relics were hauled off by looters from the 1600’s up until the 1960’s when the local governments of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Honduras finally started taking some measures to stop them. You can even find catalogues from auction houses from back in the 60’s featuring a eclectic array of amazing Mesoamerican antiquities, all of which had been freshly looted, complete with maps designating the exact areas from where the artifacts had been taken. Mind Unveiled put out the theory that the reason the Vatican started sending all these Spanish and Portuguese ships off to the New World when they did was in response to the deluge that just popped off and that they wanted to be the first to both claim and then
All of the most amazing and enigmatic of the artifacts that were once laying in the ground waiting to be discovered were illegally looted long before anyone could get a glimpse at them. It’s sad. I can only imagine what kind of stuff can be found in the private collections of ultra wealthy collectors and on the grounds of the villas owned by the heads of the local governments in the regions where many of these artifacts come from. Usually the Mayor of any said small town with lots of ancient archeological sites will have a slew of amazing artifacts in their backyard or something. In fact when you look at many of the small towns nearby to where Megalithic ruins can be found, you’ll see that half the buildings have been constructed using the looted blocks from the ruined structures found on the local archeological site. Huge buildings in many cases. You’ll never find many of these original ancient sites because the area has been picked clean and all the stone has been long recycled and the “quarry” completely exhausted of material, leaving no trace. Cusco Peru was built predominantly from looted building materials. The Inca were famous for re-using these ancient building materials everywhere they found them. Puma Punku and Teohuanaco had most of the smaller pieces from the site hauled off over the years to be used on various building projects throughout the region. The only reason anything remains at all is because the pieces still left were simply far too large and heavy to move by hand.
What many people fail to realize when looking at many of the most famous ancient sites is that when these ruins are first discovered, it’s in the form of a unrecognizable mound of collapsed rubble completely overgrown with vegetation. That random pile of debris is then dug up, sorted through, organized and then arbitrarily rebuilt by the archeologists themselves into the type of structure that they assume it originally was. These structural archetypes are mostly of the same variety. Pyramids, tombs and temples. Always one of the three. The problem is, just because the pile of the rubble that you found somewhat resembles the shape of a pyramid, this doesn’t necessarily mean that this particular structure was originally pyramidal. Any structure that eventually collapses, no matter the original shape and layout, is going to collapse into a pile of rubble that resembles a mound. ALL buildings. That doesn’t mean all the buildings that were ever built were originally pyramids. Did Mesoamerican cultures build pyramids? Absolutely. Was every building they ever built some kind of step pyramid? I don’t think so. Just look at what was partially unearthed at the Cholula site or at Uxmal or even Chitzen Itza.
Even a good look at the Teotehuacan “pyramids” reveals some inconsistencies, as one can clearly see traces of the original layout that are visible on some of the outer ledges of structure that indicate the possibility that the original design was much different than the traditional step pyramid layout that Mexican archeologists followed when rebuilding it.

He makes a good argument that a large portion of these ruins are made of petrified wood or just generally petrified matter originally built from a variety of materials but has been transformed to stone after being submerged under water for a long period of time. These vast expanses of ancient urban infastructure were subjected to the deluge and sat submerged under water long enough for the materials to become completely mineralized and turn to stone. He also postulates that our ancient infastructure was possibly coated with a thick layer of volcanic ash which was then diffused with thousands of years of rain water and underwent the same subsequent mineralization process, metamorphosizing everything into stone yet again. He also makes a good argument that many of the large Megalithic blocks we see at sites like Sacsayhuamán and that make up the walls in the Osirion temple in Egypt were not cut from a quarry but instead cast from molds using a geopolymer slurry far superior to modern concrete. The blocks at these sites all show symptoms of the same kind of flaking on the surface. Natural stone doesn’t flake like that. The only materials we know of that flake like that are cast sections of concrete. The explanation that’s given by the Brien Foerester contingency as to why we see this flaking on the surface of the stone is attributed to it having been blasted with a wave of intense heat from an ancient solar flare event. Not a bad explanation, but just because there is strong evidence for this solar flare event does not mean that they didn’t use geopolymers to cast these blocks. Plus I do not see the tell tale signs of scorching on those blocks that you see elsewhere around the world.
So there is in fact more evidence to backup this theory about the occurrence of this cyclical solar flare event. You can find very clearly apparent evidence of what resemble scars from heat scorching left on the face of the stone on ancient structures and statues all over the world. Even the very existence of “desert varnish” can be and has been theoretically attributed to this solar flare event, as there is no real good explanation for what this layer of darkening actually is that we find on the upward facing sides of rock in deserts around the world. No one knows where that varnish came from. We also just happen to see the same kinds of petroglyphs all around the world etched upon this layer of desert varnish. These petroglyphs are found in the form of a stick figure with his hands up over his head. This happens to be the exact shape that would have been seen in the sky following the discharge of a massive solar flare in our atmosphere. So that lines up tidily.
We see also see melted bricks embedded within the walls of old buildings everywhere we look. I took the below photos myself on the side of the highway.
We see old brownstone buildings that show evidence of its outer surfaces having been subjected to some kind of heat expansion, with the remnants of what we call “rock balloons” appearing to have bubbled and blown outward while in a molten state, then solidifying in place. We’ve always assumed these features were a kind of structural design when in reality what we could be seeing here is the fallout from having our brick and stone buildings subjected to intense heat and the pattern made from the resulting sideways and forward expansion of the material as it writhed and melted, ballooning into molten protrusions until quickly cooling in place as it stood. Leaving us with these lumpy stone facades on our buildings that were likely trimmed and groomed as best they could shortly afterward and remained tolerable enough in appearance to leave as it was due to the way in which the melting applied itself evenly upon and across the surfaces of the buildings.
