From Roman Empire to South America? Carthages Lost Warriors | Documentary

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Genetics of the Kuelap people, the builders of the Kuelap Fortress in Peru, have revealed a complex history of European interaction with the local populations:

 
  • Mitochondrial DNA: A genetic study found that the majority of samples from the Kuelap group belonged to Native American haplogroups A2, B2, C1, and D. The most frequent haplogroup was B2, followed by C1, D, and A2.
  •  
  • The Kuelap group also had a high European genetic contribution, which was unexpected given the relatively minor cultural presence of the Inca and Spanish in the area.
     
  • Genetic diversity: Enclaves of genetic diversity in the region resisted the Inca's impact on population history.
     
  • Gene flow: Kuelap received less than average external gene flow.

The Kuelap Fortress is an archaeological site in northern Peru that was built by the Chachapoyas civilization between 900 CE and 1100 CE.The Chachapoyas people occupied the site until the Inca Empire conquered the area around 1470 CE.

Searching For The Legendary Lost City Of Paititi

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Descriptions of the unique architectural structures and chronicles of the light skin people)

 

 

Scroll to 1:02:25 and the Guest discussed the architectural structures and walls, and he stated that the Chachapoyas built cities such as Kuelap and more that were surrounded with huge walls and the Incas were not building this.

 

Scroll to 1:03:13 and he stated that nearby Paititi is another city name Choquequirao and they have similar architectural structures to Kuelap. He theorized that they were the builders of Paititi.

 

Scroll to 1:03:49 and in the document the rulers of Paititi were people of light skin.

 

Scroll to 1:41:30 Shows a document that was originally written in Old Renaissance Italian language however the Guest translated it for the readers and viewers. The light skin people were mentioned in the document at 1:42:13 and 1:42:18

Jesuits Report Proving Existence of Paititi – Paititi Research

 

 

 

 

 

Conclusions

 

Like probably everyone else reading the above text we were also searching for any clues giving us some new ideas as to whereabouts of Paititi. Unfortunately all the information related to that subject is very vague, to say the least and it didn’t bring us anywhere further. But the report contains one very important information striking our eyes and rising new questions: who were the white-skinned rulers and inhabitants of Paititi? It seems obviouse that this description doesn’t fit our expectations that they were Incas. But who else could they be?

In order to get first-hand information we asked Mr. Pedro Cieza de Leon for help—one of the most respected chroniclers of Peru of the 16th century. And indeed: in his La Crònica del Peru, chapter LXXVIII, page 259 he writes: “Son estos indios naturales de Chachapoyas los mas blancos y agraciados de todos cuantos yo he visto en las Indias que he andado, y sus mujeres fueron tan hermosas que por sòlo su gentileza muchas dellas merecieron serlo de los ingas y ser llevadas a los templos del sol…” [3]

Well… Here we have at least a “smoking gun”. And what about the bullets left?

 

  • We know that Chachapoyas were really a warlike tribe and it took a long time till Incas were able to conquer them.
  • They were able to build cities and fortresses comparable by quality and size to those of Incas.
  • After Chachapoyas were conquerred by Incas their story was not unsimilar to that of Jewish of the modern age: they were forced to leave their home-country, some of them were forcibly displaced to the most remote corners of Incas‘ Empire and thus the possibility that Chachapoyas were the builders or at least co-builders of Paititi is not excluded.
  • During the war between Atahualpa and Huascar and later on during guerilla war against Spaniards they split on different sides of those conflicts: some of them supported Atahualpa, some of them Spaniards but the majority of them was on the side of Huascar. And Huascar might be the keyword for further investigations:
  •  
    • Tupac Amaru originated from the line of Huascar and perhaps that’s why after abandoning Vilcabamba he was searching his shelter in Paititi, which was governed by his “brothers in arms”—Chachapoyas?
    • Tupac Amaru II had again matrilineal conection to Tupac Amaru.
  • Juan Carlos Polentini Wester in his book “Por las Rutas del Paititi” is mentioning a lake on the way between Cusco and Cordillera Paucartambo where, according to legends, troops of Huascar hid some of the treasures during their transportation to a secure place (Paititi?).

To find the truth and to prove that all our bullets are really functionable seems to be almost mission impossible. We can endlessly discuss about other possibilities and other outcomes. The reality is that we have not enough resources available to answer many sub-questions, for example: into which degree were Chachapoyas white, to fit the description of Jesuits Report or not? This kind of questions will definitely lead us to no answer and more confusion.

During our research of Paititi we are just trying to reconstruct something like “DNA” of history of Incas related to that legendary city and with its components appearing again and again: HuascarPaititifairly skinned peopletestimonieslegends… Each of those parts brings us closer to our goal especially because those parts act really like a virtual DNA—by repeating themselve in different sources they are giving us more and more clues about the whole structure. And in that moment, in which our imagination meets its borders, we cross it with the help of imagery from space.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kuelap belongs in the 7 Wonders of the World list because the structure is larger than several pyramids. Kuelap is located at 3,000 meters ( 9,843 feet ) above sea level. They excavated a 2-meter-tall man (6.56 feet). Several more info found on the website below.

A Remarkable Discovery

 

Ancient Dugout Canoes Found in Great Lakes Region©Provided by Ever-Growing

In 2021, maritime archaeologist Tamara Thomsen spotted the end of a dugout canoe while diving in Wisconsin’s Lake Mendota. The canoe, carved from oak and dating back 1,200 years, spurred the launch of the Wisconsin Dugout Canoe Survey Project. Since then, researchers have cataloged 79 dugout canoes, some dating as far back as 4,500 years. These finds reveal the essential role canoes played in Indigenous life, enabling fishing, trade, and transportation across vast distances. The creation of dugout canoes was a communal effort, requiring weeks or months of work using shells or stone tools. Once complete, the boats became shared resources, vital for the survival and prosperity of Indigenous communities.

Combining Technology and Tradition

Researchers are using cutting-edge methods like carbon dating, dendrochronology, and strontium isotope analysis to examine the canoes and their origins. Remarkably, many were crafted from hardwoods like oak and elm, demonstrating the adaptability of Indigenous groups to changing environmental conditions. Artifacts found alongside the canoes, such as net sinkers and woodworking tools, further illuminate the technological ingenuity of these societies. These discoveries highlight the deep connection between daily life, resourcefulness, and cultural innovation.

Lost Shorelines and New Discoveries

A significant aspect of the project is mapping ancient shorelines. Near Lake Mendota, archaeologists uncovered a cache of ten canoes along a now-submerged ridge, indicating how Indigenous communities adapted to environmental changes. This area, known as Dejope in the Ho-Chunk language, was once a thriving cultural hub. The renewed interest in dugout canoes has inspired modern Indigenous communities to reconnect with their heritage. In 2024, members of the Ho-Chunk Nation carved and paddled a traditional dugout canoe down the Mississippi River, symbolizing the enduring strength of their cultural identity.

A Window to the Past

Dugout canoes provide a tangible link to ancient Indigenous history, illustrating the balance between cultural traditions and environmental adaptation. Their design, unchanged for millennia, speaks to the ingenuity of their creators.

These discoveries have sparked interest beyond Wisconsin, inspiring other states to catalog their own canoe archives. They serve as a reminder of the enduring stories hidden within America’s lakes and rivers, waiting to be uncovered.
