Big Bang - 2023: Our Myth

Mummies, Monumental Architecture, Religion, and Violence. In this video we explore the early development and towns and broader cultural zones in South America. Our focus is on the early towns, starting with the Norte Chico, or Caral-Supe, culture. We'll see how early South American towns were pre-ceramic, despite the long history of ceramics in South America. And we'll explore the relationship between coastal and inland towns. ~1800 BC a shift occurs, and while the Norte Chico sites dissipate, significant growth is seen both to the north and south, where similar public architecture, but now more neatly divided by region, arises. Next we'll come across Chavin De Huantar, picking up around 1200 BC, and we'll also meet the desert dwelling Paracas and their mummies along with the more violent Salinar+ times.

For each of these images, I could find no non copyright examples to use to illustrate 1. The nature of the U-Shaped structures, and specifically the nature of non attached platform mounds. For that I drew an image from the followign paper https://sisbib.unmsm.edu.pe/bibvirtualdata/publicaciones/antropologia/1998_n12/a03.pdf 2. What the fox in the womb sculpture looked like. For that I drew an image from https://mospace.umsystem.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10355/10443/ProyectoBuenaVista.pdf?sequence=1 3. What the Menacing Disk sculpture looks like.

The Galaxy Web is the largest structure, if you can even call it that, in the universe. Galaxies on the largest scale line up in a weblike system throughout our cosmos, this is that, the web.
