1 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,360 {\an8}No. No. 2 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:16,600 While there are small indicators of Inca presence 3 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:19,840 like small stones and mud joints, 4 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:26,320 these are always respectfully built over the Hanan Pacha forms. 5 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,760 It is revered with great affection, 6 00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,280 and this is done by surrounding it 7 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:39,320 with very precise and respectful constructions of pieces. 8 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:57,760 Only the parts that have been worked by heat and mold 9 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,080 are preserved without having been destroyed. 10 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,480 The rest of the stone appears rough. 11 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:11,320 There is the eroding effect of weathering. 12 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,880 There is a lot of mystery that we can't explain 13 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,000 because these are parts of a great historical past 14 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,920 that happened thousands of years ago. 15 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:30,080 {\an8}Nowadays, we also use this soil 16 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,680 {\an8}for agriculture in the region. 17 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:36,000 And all of a sudden, I came across an interaction 18 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,680 between the past and these populations. 19 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,760 I wanted to understand why and how 20 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:48,000 these populations were connected to such dark soil. 21 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,240 I can't say for sure, but there are records that suggest 22 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,480 there were at least around three million people 23 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,640 living in the region of the Alto Rio Negro alone. 24 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,000 Personally, I don't believe it was intentional. 25 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,720 I believe what happened was that, with so many people inhabiting the area, 26 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,360 a lot of decomposing waste was produced bringing about these benefits. 27 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,240 I believe it's possible 28 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:32,920 that they realized the area was productive, 29 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,400 but their intention wasn't, 30 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:43,240 "I will dump waste to fertilize the land and improve crop production." 31 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,400 In the 20th century, 32 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:08,720 {\an8}it was thought that the hinterlands of Amazonia was totally virgin. 33 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,560 That humans had not touched it. 34 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,840 And now we know that many of the trees that we have here, 35 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,720 Brazil nut, many palms, are semi-cultivated 36 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,360 and even cultivated and domesticated, 37 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,240 so that our understanding of the forest has changed. 38 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,640 I have witnessed many people taking ayahuasca, 39 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,400 and I'm astonished, you know, by what they experience, 40 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,200 sometimes extraordinary journeys into other realms, 41 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,400 sometimes simply looking into themselves, 42 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,400 finding ways of solving their own problems. 43 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,680 Many people write to me, you know, 44 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,400 and that those experiences were completely life-changing, 45 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,600 changed completely their perspective, you know. 46 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,440 Many Indigenous people say, you know, 47 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,800 they take ayahuasca in order to understand the rules of society, 48 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,160 you know, become better human beings. 49 00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:02,960 In the Capanahua language, my name is Shamorin Kyashi Piary. 50 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,720 Shamorin Kyashi Piary means "The Angel of the Jungle." 51 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,120 I come from a line of healers. 52 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:27,120 I feel the connection to all my ancestors, 53 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,440 my grandmother, my great-grandmother, the whole family. 54 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:38,880 We are connected and feel the connections with everything to do with Amazonia. 55 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,800 There have been studies suggesting neurogenesis. 56 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:06,840 You know, that the harmine will be producing new neurons, 57 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,200 even new beta cells for the pancreas. 58 00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:14,440 And perhaps new cells also for the ligaments and so on. 59 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,480 So what happens is that the harmine in the vine 60 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,600 will block the destruction of DMT in the gut, 61 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,080 so that the DMT will cross the blood-brain barrier, 62 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,400 go into receptors in the brain. 63 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,920 That is what produces the visions, you know, the DMT. 64 00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:53,720 This tradition goes back thousands of years. 65 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:59,200 I mean, we can't say. Two thousand, three thousand years… 66 00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,640 you need to prepare a question. 67 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,800 She will provide an answer.
