0:10
Wednesday February 12th
0:18
2025 go see some things around town
0:18
today welcome everyone out of the woo
0:21
here the Roaring Rapids of this River
0:24
now I'm not 100% sure but if you were to
0:26
stand in there you probably would be
0:28
swept off your feet through quickly and
0:31
go completely Downstream this thing is
0:34
moving quick from what I heard 5 6
0:37
months ago this area had a lack of rain
0:40
and the river was going very slowly and
0:42
you could walk across granted you would
0:46
get your feet wet but you would not have
0:47
been swept down now with so much rain
0:49
lately the river is going at very high
0:53
volumes
0:55
nonetheless with the family today my mom
0:58
my aunt my uncle and myself
1:00
are going to see some stuff here in
1:02
South America Ecuador I'm inviting you
1:04
to join me it's good to have you here
1:05
shall you current temperature 58° about
1:09
920 right now it's going to get up about
1:13
66° by 2: p.m. and then it's going to
1:15
start dropping after that very nice
1:18
enjoyable weather doesn't look as if
1:20
there's going to be any rain just going
1:21
to be overcast I'm all for it yesterday
1:24
it rained a lot all right I've taken a
1:27
taxi across town I know maybe 3 or 4
1:30
miles tax is pretty inexpensive it was
1:32
like
1:33
$2 to go like 4 miles in a taxi which is
1:37
pretty reasonable in my opinion we're
1:39
going to stop off here at this
1:48
Museum Puma pun poo Puma pun Museum and
1:49
every we're going to see some ruins and
1:51
maybe even see some llamas I didn't get
1:53
to see llamas yesterday but I think
1:55
there might be llamas at the bottom of
1:56
the hill behind this Museum I'm hearing
1:58
a strong rumor
2:21
staffs like swords of some sort so made
2:21
out of wood take a look at this one
2:41
mountains these Command Staff symbolize
2:42
Authority and
2:43
Leadership this drum here is St 1974
2:46
that's the same year I was
2:49
born right there it's called a Taiga
2:53
drum and there's this little information
2:56
placards that have some info about it
3:06
it reflects the myths Legends rituals
3:06
and world
3:08
view of the people painting tradition of
3:11
Taiga cross that red line por
3:15
faor different head
3:18
wears can go up to here but they don't
3:20
want you to go any closer and they also
3:22
ask you not touch any of the artifacts
3:31
little head wear
3:31
there made out of
3:39
feathers feather workor featherwork is
3:42
massively CRA masterfully crafted by the
3:44
people and nationalities of the
3:47
Amazon momentarily got to go outside to
3:49
see the EA
3:51
ruins known as Puma punga
3:55
Puma
3:58
pungu and it looks is if this is the
4:02
blueprints of it or at least an aerial
4:05
view of some of the ruins that are
4:08
outside right
4:10
there some of the artifacts they have
4:12
found in the ruins
4:14
including the skull right
4:22
here more Pottery this one's got a face
4:22
on four different
4:31
sides like a vase with face of a faced
4:31
vase Bas there's some Coral or some sort
4:35
of a shells of some sort out
4:44
here guys like an open clam there and a
4:44
piece
4:45
of piece of rock maybe from the river or
4:47
the
4:49
ocean at the detail on this you got
4:52
these little sheep
4:54
there little Jewels another trinkets
4:57
like different items they get this
4:59
little troll looking thing here you got
5:02
a dog I'm thinking there there's even a
5:04
an emblem right there there's a 50 cent
5:07
piece bu and buise money 50 cent
5:16
piece oh my
5:19
God Corpus Christie that's I know that's
5:21
Body of Christ
5:32
right so we translated it and it's
5:34
during the summer solstice in June it's
5:36
the dance of Corpus Christie so it is a
5:39
ceremony for the summer
5:41
solstice
5:43
interesting all right up on the second
5:45
floor
6:01
now got the fire down there or
6:02
symbolizing the fire inside the little
6:05
Hut
6:22
there looks like he's self- tattooing
6:22
himself there at least that's my
6:25
assumption he's looking in a mirror of
6:27
some sort and applying that
6:30
facial tattoo there's a canoe
6:34
there oh my
7:22
okay you got a bunch of different masks
7:22
here that goes over this ceremonial
7:25
outfit right here this is like a dog's
7:28
head you can see out the window we'll be
7:31
able to go out there but the ruins are
7:34
down below
7:36
here see some there and then All Along
7:41
The Edge and then all the way towards
7:43
the back as
7:52
well a really neat exhibits through here
7:52
honestly
8:48
okay here's an airplane papier-mâché
8:48
airplane here of some
8:54
sort this is a
8:54
little artistic corner of sorts here's a
8:58
deer floating deer
9:06
here Viva quink which is the name of the
9:06
town currently in right here this is
9:08
like a kite of some sort pretty cool
9:11
with the little little spinning wheels
9:13
on it least I'm assuming that is those
9:15
are kites fireworks are a big part of
9:18
Ecuadorian culture my uncle was telling
9:21
them they use fireworks to ward off
9:23
spirits but as I could it looks as if
9:25
that they use this as a protective thing
9:28
they put the fireworks on that and then
9:31
you put drape this over your torso and
9:33
your
9:34
head and it would emit some
9:37
Sparks and the fireworks would be coming
9:40
out around the body of this that would
9:43
fit right on your head like a
9:56
hat doing some weaving of some sort or
9:56
putting some items on his either belt or
9:59
sack cash
10:04
there also should be noted that there is
10:04
no admission fee for this Museum
10:06
absolutely free you just show up sign in
10:10
and you have free rain to walk through
10:11
and see the
10:25
exhibits now we're getting to the real
10:25

10:37
little shrunken
10:52
heads this is the foundation of the
10:52
homestead these are people are laid to
10:55

the foundation so it's not the orig
10:59
building doing a little wand maintenance
11:02

down there well that's a greenhouse of
12:13
some sort this world bird sanctuary oh a
12:16

12:24
having the best luck with llamas
12:26
yesterday went to the mountains trying
12:28

store so here's the square we were at
27:40
the other day on a ground level now
27:42
we're up elevated and high looking
27:44
across I really like this building which
27:46
is made out of all
27:49
marble that's where they have the
27:50
sculpture of statue of the guy who used
27:52
to be on the Ecuadorian currency down
27:54
there oh
28:03
it's a good time to be up
28:10
here I would imagine this would probably
28:10
act as a makeshift lightning
28:23
rod all right give me one more bolt and
28:23
we'll head down give me one more bolt
28:25
yeah give it to me
28:28
give it to
28:30
me give me a good one oh right over
28:33
there two two of
28:36
them one good bolt then we'll
28:46
descend oh there's one give me another
28:46
one that was a little teaser
29:38
o nailed it it's interesting the
29:38
lightning strikes were more defined to
29:40
the human eye than they are on the
29:41
camera I watched it back and it was just
29:43
like a little but it wasn't a lightning
29:46
bolt strike on camera weird maybe I'm
29:48
just imagining that there was a
29:50
lightning bolt I'm going to head back
29:51
down I think there's like 180 steps or
29:54
something from up in here
30:02
back down here's the
30:02
cathedral we're up here uh
30:06
somewhere yeah we're up on this part
30:08
here oh we're on this part yeah right
30:10
here doz you can see the oh that's where
30:12
the crack is she was saying that crack
30:14
goes down because this was too heavy
30:18
they they weighted it on there and it
30:20
sent a crack right down this the front
30:23
now I remember
30:25
185 or 165
30:33
55 85 yeah it's got to be 85 this is 64
30:33
down here okay so 185
30:36
steps people probably kept asking how
30:38
many steps it was so they probably put
31:03
and that's going to do it for today an
31:03
