Purpose of Ancient Geoglyphs Revealed - Ancient Aliens

Agrae, Brazil, the 1980s. As logging companies begin to cut down trees in the Amazon rainforest, enormous areas of the forest floor are exposed for the first time. And at one clearing, a massive series of circles and squares carved into the landscape is revealed. Known as hakusa, these earthworks, or geoglyphs, are over 900 feet wide. These are several hundred meters in diameter, which is an incredible, incredible task to undertake. It would have been the task of the whole village to carve and to dig and to separate these earthworks, create mounds. And these geoglyphs are possibly 2,000 years old, so quite old. In this area, there's over 450 of these. Sometimes they're squares, sometimes rectangles, sometimes squares with circles in the middle. And the actual function of these things remains unknown. Archaeologists have determined that the earthworks served no practical purpose, such as corralling animals. And according to ancient astronaut theorists, the mysterious geometric figures displayed in some of these massive geoglyphs appear to contain a coded message. These are perfect squares and perfect circles. It speaks to a level of engineering excellence, and it speaks to a level of intention, that one is a square and one is a circle inside of a square, is one an entrance and one is an exit. The squaring of the circle is, throughout cultures around the world, a symbol of the unity of heaven and earth, which is an incredibly abstract concept for them to be modeling in this geoglyph. The geoglyphs are located in the same region of the Brazilian rainforest, where the indigenous Yawanawa people have reported mysterious orbs of light. And a recent study proposes that these earthworks were designed with an otherworldly purpose. In 2017, researchers at the University of Sao Paolo and the University of Helsinki suggested that the geoglyphs of the Amazon served as doorways through which ancient shamans would communicate with other realms. In the Amazon, shamans are considered intermediaries between the physical world of us humans and the spirit world. The spirit world is really what's pulling our strings. But we don't see it. It's an invisible world. The shamans are the link between this world and that. There's no question that shamanism is one of the most ancient enduring mechanisms in the Amazon for communication with the other world. This type of communication is something that's been going on for a very, very long time, as much as 10,000 years and arguably even earlier than that. The shaman would actually use geoglyphs as a place to kind of go into meditation to communicate with ancestors and spirits and even otherworldly beings according to their traditions. The modern Amazonians don't mess with these geoglyphs. They honor them. They protect them. They don't farm on them. They don't build in them again. They see them as part of the group of spirits that the shamans are connecting to. Could it be that the giant earthworks discovered in the Amazon were made to communicate with celestial beings? Ancient astronaut theorists say yes and suggest the geoglyphs were not only made for shamanic rituals, but also to directly signal visitors looking down on the earth from high above. When you think about the creation of these geoglyphs, we're talking about people that are devoted to leaving a message that can only be seen from the sky. We find geoglyphs all over the world, in Kazakhstan, in the Atacama Desert, in the American Southwest, the famous lines and figures on the Nazca Plain in Peru. And now we have this area of Amazon that's got geoglyphs in it. So are they trying to contact sky gods, extraterrestrials? Why were they built? And in my opinion, it's to signal somebody as in, hey, we are down here. Come and visit. Or essentially, come back. It's beyond coincidence that you have here these geoglyphs, exactly where all of these glowing orbs were encountered by the indigenous peoples to this day. We obviously don't know, but what we can say is that we are dealing with entities from somewhere else.
