Mike Collins of Wandering Wolf Productions tells the host about Megalitos de Capulí, a little-known megalithic site in the jungle-covered mountains of northern Peru that he had just returned from filming. If you want to know where the site is, how he found it, why he compares its giant rectangular blocks to Baalbek, and why he currently leans toward it being a quarry, this opening part covers it.
They begin with Mike saying he had just come back from a second Peru trip, a couple of weeks after the Peru tour he and the host did together (trip mentions are from the original recording), and that their guide Marcia organized his return and got him out to the site. Mike says a Twitter/X contact, Mr Marley, tipped him off, and that a local guide named Dilmer was the first to document the site on his Spanish-language YouTube channel, which Mike thinks is why it has not caught on in America. Looking at photos, Mike compares the blocks to Baalbek in Lebanon and to the ancient quarries at Yangshan and Aswan, saying Yangshan is by far the largest but these sit in the same size range as Baalbek. He says he is leaning toward a quarry interpretation because of features he finds at quarry sites worldwide, such as cart ruts, which he says he scanned with LiDAR to compare with ruts in Malta and elsewhere, and he points out a carving with right angles that looks to him like a block being squared out. Mike says the site was first documented in July, that the area had been cleared but the jungle grew back within months, and that it lies about three hours north of Tarapoto in the Amazonian Andes. He describes the Chachapoya, or "Warriors of the Clouds," their wars with the Inca, and the debate over their statues with blue eyes, but says known Chachapoya construction is basic stacked stone with nothing like this megalithic work. He says he hopes to get local help clearing the bases on a return visit to see whether blocks are still attached to bedrock, like the Stone of the Pregnant Woman at Baalbek, which he calls a potential smoking gun, and that a quarry this size suggests a destination site within roughly 100 to 150 miles. He mentions a peak locals call pyramid mountain, stressing it only appears pyramid-shaped, and describes a three-hour drive, a jungle hike and a mountain climb that left him about three hours on site, plus plenty of mosquitoes. He closes the section expecting skeptics to call it natural, while arguing it deserves more investigation, especially alongside the cart ruts and petroglyphs.
