The goal of Ancient Origins is to highlight recent archaeological discoveries, peer-reviewed academic research and evidence, as well as offering alternative viewpoints and explanations of science, archaeology, mythology, religion and history around the globe. And while some people may seem content with the story as it stands, our view is that there exist countless mysteries, scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts that have yet to be discovered and explained. The incredible high-tech world of South America is illuminated in the informative and breezy style for which Childress has always been known.At Ancient Origins, we believe that one of the most important fields of knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings. He maintains that only power tools could have made the intricate articulation and drill holes found in extremely hard granite and basalt blocks in Bolivia and Peru, and that the megalith builders had to have had advanced methods for moving and stacking gigantic blocks of stone, some weighing over 100 tons. Childress demonstrates that the use of "keystone cuts" with metal clamps poured into them to secure megalithic construction was an advanced technology used all over the world, from the Andes to Egypt, Greece and Southeast Asia. He also speculates on the existence of a sunken' city in Lake Titicaca and reveals new evidence that the Sumerians may have arrived in South America over 4,000 years ago. The evidence seems to support the idea that they were actually constructed by a far older culture.Ĭhildress examines the megalithic construction and underground chambers of Chavin in the Cordillera Blanca of Peru, possibly the oldest megalithic site in South America. The amazing world of ancient technology, from the computers of the ancient world to the flying machines of the gods.
