I was fortunate enough to visit this museum 20 years ago and though at that time I had hardly any knowledge of ancient cultures, the visit to this magnificent museum and the site of Teotihuacan left a lasting impression. I would LOVE to see both places again and see it with new eyes, educated with all the knowledge Brien has provided.

I was in Museum of Anthropology last year. One of the things you must do once in Mexico City. I think, 90 pesos I paid for the ticket. Took me half of the day to walk around without rushing. Plenty of things to do near museum. Free zoo, Chapultepec castle and etc. Biggest surprise for me was a sun calendar. It is bloody massive thing :D

There is no possible way to make those quartz or obsidian spools by hand and have them come out round. They were done on a lathe, and even then it took something else to make them machinable that we have not yet re-discovered.

I hate when people or even experts say a civilization didn't know about the wheel. I mean..as soon as a rock rolls down a hill or a tree needs to be moved then you're going to figure out a wheel. Toddlers for example are fascinated with rolling things before they can walk. Anyway it's just silly. Humans can figure out all sorts of "impossible" things when they need to and these humans were no different than us. Ancient people just had to go other routes because they lacked only a few key discoveries that got us to where we are now. Imagine where we'd be without petroleum for example. Don't you just love museums by the way? A beautifully designed building full of like-minded people quietly taking in the history that they're ancestors created..totally underrated.

However, I'm seeing some shaky camera work when I look at Briens' videos for the high definition, and his use of a drone camera. And... and... I'm seeing some good looking girls in shorts walking around!

Well, other intrepid explorers will tell you that the elders from the first Spanish contacts to modern Elders holding their peoples traditions have claimed and never changed their legends that they did not create these massive structures-that they existed before their people arrived. Usually 'sky gods' of some sort are involved. Note Lucifer is god of the air, god of this world and depicted as a serpent, beast or dragon. It seems certain that any ancient advanced tech would be strictly relegated for use by the elite and their High Priests, where demonstrations of high tech would easily be mistaken as magical forces. A Cow Prod attached to and used as a Staff would be easily attributed to a god of lightning, for example, mimicking supernatural abilities and 'proofs' of the claims to be descendants of the gods, whether this was true or usurped.

Please clarify what is meant by “The Aztecs had no form of metal technology whatsoever” because we know they had copper mines. Do you mean metal saws and such?

So in Teotihuacan, they say it is as viewed from the air to be a perfect schematic of a computer chip. So I had wandered if the temple at the end...The Temple of the Feathered Serpent is part of that schematic as viewed from the air.... as if deliberately built to be part of that schematic or is it excluded from the schematic? Reason I mention is because if the Temple of the Feathered Serpent had been built by someone of a different culture then the rest of Teotihuacan....then they likely wouldn't have known about the way it looks from above. If it appears to be a crucial part of the schematic, then it may have likely been built at the same time as the rest or by someone advanced enough to figure out what we see from above and it's purpose.

Not much to do with the Aztecs. Also, the ball game couldn't have been played by the Toltecs BEFORE the Mayas, as they came later. Interesting footage anyway.

The Olmec, Aztec and Mayan did not think the moon is 238,000 miles away and the sun is 93 million miles away. They didn't think earth was a ball spinning around and moving 480,000 mph through the galaxy and 1.3 million mph through the universe.

Interesting that not one mere drill bit, saw blade, lathe or parts of the actual supposed advanced mechanical technology used to manufacture these creations is to be found among all these extensive ruins in multiple global locations. Seems implausible, perhaps impossible, that not even one piece of physical evidence in this regard is known to have been discovered or is on display anywhere. And that technology would also require the essential elements to create it, of which nothing in this regard has been discovered either. If diamond was used on drill bits and saw blades, then a cache of diamonds or the technology necessary to construct that drill bit or saw blade would also be necessary and would be discoverable. Yet, the megalithic structures and products made by this technology are not lacking. Just does not add up. Impossible that not one drill bit or saw blade has not been discovered and made public by all those that have traveled, excavated, looted, appropriated, etc. over thousands of years.
