Pyramid, maybe built by giants, found in the Ecuador jungle - Video and Articles

[transiten]

Awesome Bruce! Seems like Mercury retrograde in Scorpio is digging up more and more from hidden areas both physically and politically. Interesting sync with the updating of the Bosnian pyramids by Wind.

Do not be irresponsible disclosing incorrect information. It is a natural wall and point, as I told you via Facebook, but you keep spreading the falsehood that is doing great harm to Baños. [...] Are you going to go to the media when the technical report on the wall is out? No idea you know the damage you've done to Baños, along with other charlatans.

I have the technical report in my hands, that belies all the bull**** you've raised, Manuel Vieira. You have until tomorrow, February 4 at 14h00, to give publicly all that you have generated farce.

Here's the report from The Llangantes, can be read in the following link.

The technical report is 26 pages long, here is an excerpt:








The conclusion says that the site is a natural formation.

Hi buares!

Again, a big thanks for getting those data!

The following, to me, does indicate a natural -- if exceptional -- formation and its weathering of joints:

... which is enough to support their conclusion of a fractured, inclined stratification:

As for the "Giant's Hammer," they look more like small scale "Cheminée de Fée":

After the comments by Oscar Morales quoted above, the following two comments were made in reply. (I've tidied up the auto-translation a little, but I don't believe I've altered any meaning.)

To whom it may concern..... I was in this place of the pyramids, and I will say that Manuel Vieira is absolutely right: the walls are made by man. Soon I'll upload some videos taken .. we even found another wall of the same size that is more perfect, and has two levels of incredible stones ....... The technical reports must be reviewed, human beings have a natural tendency to make mistakes and that is natural and understandable but definitely wrong ......... Technicians analyzed the wall near the small waterfall .... but there is another a few meters away

Thanks for posting this review. I agree with you that the report should be rethought. It is incomplete by not incorporating valuable information such as stone tools and carved rocks found near the wall. This new evidence is important to be shared. Yesterday, March 23, 2014, Ernesto Sarabia approached me to tell me that he knows of the nearby existence of a totem. I make the call that further research is necessary.

Interesting. Below is a post by botanist Lou Jost from The EcoMinga Foundation who visited the site:

Archaeology or Geology? Posted on January 13, 2014:

The site had actually been known to a few people since at least 1997. In that year my friend Olivier Currat, co-owner of the Luna Runtun Hotel in Banos, visited and photographed the site with a local guide. In about 2003 he showed me the photographs. They looked amazing! Olivier and I tried to re-find the site (the original guide had emigrated to Spain) but we could not. [...] I also sent the photos to my geologist friend Mark Thurber, and asked his opinion about it. Thurber told me that though he could not be sure from the pictures, it seemed like a natural rock formation to him. With that, I put it out of my mind.


(The upper third of the mysterious wall, looking to the left.)

Then a few months ago came all these new stories about the site. Finally last week I was able to visit it, guided by Manuel Barriga. Our group included government archaeologists and geologists, sent by the President of Ecuador to determine the nature of the site. To be honest, I was not sure what to think about what I saw. It does not look like closely-fitting Inca stonework. It is an odd-looking canyon wall, not in any sense a “pyramid” as some of the news reports have called it.


(The wall, looking to the right.)

Similar rectangularly-fractured rocks are found on the opposite side of the canyon, and in the nearby river. Particularly informative for me was the little set of fractured rocks in the following photo. This was below the wall, near a streambed. The fractures create the same sort of pattern seen on a larger scale in the wall, but here we can see that it is a single rock on the right, splitting into fragments on the left. This implies the formation is natural in spite of appearances. The two government geologists also were sure that the site was natural.


(A miniature example of rectangular fractures in the same shapes as those found on the wall. Note the rock appears to be a single body at lower right, and has successively deeper, more rounded rectangular fractures towards the upper left.)

To my untrained eye, the rocks in the upper third of the structure do seem too regular to be natural, but I am not a geologist. There do seem to be purposely-carved handholds and footholds on the wall (already noticed by Olivier Currat in his 1997 trip). There are also many Inca and pre-Inca artifacts in the immediate area, including finely made stone axe heads, and ceramic pottery. There is even what appears to be a stone Inca road, recently uncovered by my friends Robert and Daisy Kunstaetter about 2 km from the site.


(The wall, looking down and to the right.)

So is it man-made? Perhaps this is not an either-or question. Even if it were completely natural, I would think the Incas would be as impressed with it, and as puzzled by it, as we are today. I can easily imagine they might treat it as a sacred site, or even a tourist attraction, perhaps thinking it was made by their ancestors, or by their gods. They might have carved handholds in it. I did not look closely enough at these to make any judgement about them.


(EcoMinga’s Juan Pablo Reyes examines a cross-section of the wall. The stones are very thick.)

We had very little time to spend at the site, as the rivers we had to cross were rapidly rising due to rain. I’ll go back soon for a more careful look, and I look forward to hearing the official report from the government scientists.

Note added Jan 15: I have heard second-hand that the government archaeologists who also visited the site with us agree with the geologists that it is a natural rock formation.

It very well could be natural bearing in mind the structure of the 'Giants Causeway' in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. These huge hexagonal columns are simply awesome, made from basalt, assumed to be from a volcanic erruption.

That last sentence jumped out at me. It could date back much older than the Inca civilization (which is really quite new, having its origins in the 13th century).

It might be natural, of course. But two obvious checks could be made...

1. Ask the local shamans. They'll know.
2. Try to excavate one of the 'stones'. That'd reveal everything.

Bumping this very interesting thread with a new video made by a Peruvian visitor to Ecuador keen to see the jungle pyramid for himself. It's audio-dubbed in English (very well, too), and the guy stays commendably cheerful as he fights his way through the jungle inch by inch.

The jungle really is like this, btw. There are patches just like this near where I live, and unless there's some kind of trail, even a very rough one made by animals, it's pretty much impossible to penetrate it. (Where I hike is in the high mountains above the treeline, a completely different kind of landscape where it's easy to roam anywhere you like.)

To whet the appetite, here are three screenshots of the pyramid stones — which I'm convinced is exactly what they are.
