At the World Heritage Site of Hampi (in India) stands a 15 foot tall monolithic statue of Kadalekalu Ganesha, carved directly from the native granite bedrock. This statue is not actively worshipped due to the damage it sustained to its belly, which took place in 1565.

The more I travel in Cambodia, the more I’m convinced there’s SO much more to its story. This MASSIVE lingam is lying at the top of a steep 750ft hill northeast of Angkor Wat.

I have had many people reach out to me after my discussion with Joe Rogan about my Wilderness Quest experience. For those who feel the calling, I have included information below about the organization that I used for my retreat. They are an incredible group of people, and for me, this was a truly life changing experience.

I looked at a LOT of pillars in India in the last two weeks. This one was by far my favorite!

I’m currently in Hampi, India and came across this granite artifact in a little-visited part of the site. I talk a lot about evidence for ancient lathing technology, so this was very fun to see in real life.

It was interesting to learn that some of the lathed pillars in India also have NUBS ✨

If you pay attention as you travel around Cambodia, you can find evidence of what appears to be lathing technology at almost all of the OLDER sites. This particular pillar was found at Preah Ko Temple - one of my absolute favorites!

I love all of the little mysterious artifacts you can find at ancient sites. This one was tucked away in the corner of the courtyard at Chinchero in Peru 🗺️

The famous Stepped Well at Hampi in India has perfectly symmetrical steps descending to the bottom, creating an inverted pyramid appearance. Curiously, it was built from greenish-black schist, rather than the granite used for most of Hampi’s other monuments. It is one of the most impressive and interesting structures I’ve seen with my own eyes.

Nobody talks about the Peru-style megaliths that can be found at Vat Phou in southern Laos. I’m going to change that.

Everything is bigger in India. At the Hoysaleswara Temple there are two enormous monolithic Nandis (bulls). The largest of the two is 9 feet long and 7 feet high. They are carved and polished so smoothly that you can see your reflection on the surface. Each Nandi sits in its own pavilion, surrounded by lathed pillars, directly facing its respective linga ✨✨

Megalithic Pisac in Peru is arresting, both in its beauty and its complexity. The angled walls with their perfect corners are 🔥 🔥- not to mention its acoustics, which you can hear in this video.
