What's up guys? Today we are joined by a real-life explorer, archaeologist, historian,

YouTuber as well, and possibly my long-lost twin, Luke Caverns, is on the pod.

And we are talking about lost cities of gold, ancient jaguar people, the greatest city that's

ever existed, in my opinion, New York City, but in Luke's opinion,

the city of Alexandria, and much more, sit back, relax, and indulge.

Why is it that we see all these massive structures in Mexico and South?

Why are there none of these in the northern parts? That is a good question.

Well, pyramids. Yeah, yeah. So one of the, this is something I've thought about and I don't know that

there's a, I don't know that there is a perfect answer for it. Why don't you see any pyramids in

California? Why don't you see any pyramids on the way?

And then all of a sudden they sprout up in, where's the first? Probably, probably the most northern

is going to be about right here at a place called Teotu Koukan. There are, yeah, so you've been there.

Okay, yeah. So that's probably your first notable.

There may be some pyramids north of that, but that's like your first, that's your northernmost stone pyramid. But that said, you know about right here in Ohio, if I'm pointing out Ohio, nobody really knows where Ohio is. Yeah. But if... I know what you're going to point out here. yeah but you've got got like the Edina mounds and stuff that come from 500, 500 BC, but they're all made out of Earth, right? It's just... And so, yeah, so so much here you have earth and timber, not as much bedrock. So you don't have as much stone to work with. They just didn't have access to stone. That's why we don't see it.

Well, there's plenty of stone on the West Coast. And that's true. And like in the Appalachian Mountains, man, you've got so much granite and limestone that's poking out, but they're not using it. Not most of the time. There actually is somewhere in the Mississippian world. There is one stone pyramid that I've seen. it might be in Ohio itself. Here in the southwest, you have lots of stone, and they're building

like Pueblos and, you know, huge... there is one stone pyramid that I've seen. It might be in Ohio itself. Here in the southwest,

you have lots of stone, and they're building like Pueblos and, you know, the huge cities and stuff

like that, cliff to Wellings, you know, so they're making stuff out of stone, but not pyramids.

But in California, you had the highest, California, Oregon, Washington, you had some of the

highest densities of Native Americans in North America,

and they didn't build anything like that. Why? I have no idea. Well, this is something we need to

understand. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm sure that people in your position have asked these questions
