The Mysterious Floating Islands Of Lake Titicaca In Peru

- At Lake Titicaca in Peru there are more than 80 floating islands on which people live, and have done so for perhaps more than 3000 years. Explore and enjoy: www.hiddenincat...
I hope the Peruvian government prevents foreign missionaries like LDS, Evangelicals etc in proselytizing in the islands to really protect THEIR CULTURE.
As a former Christian, I wholeheartedly agree with your statement.
The odds are they are Catholic. The Spanish had a low tolerance for non Catholics. Remember the Inquisition? On the other hand hopefully their culture doesn't include the practice of human sacrifice that was quite common throughout the region.
@Josh Traffanstedt They do work locally. But Evangelicals are making big inroads in South America. I worked for a Utah based company and most employees were Mormons. The boss( a great guy) did his mission in Peru, but lots of the young employees were doing theirs in the US and EU. It seems wacky, but what religion doesn't with a little scrutiny?
@@jamesmacleod9382 Spanish only gave them new names and a religion for control but they didn't actually replaced their beliefs. Most Catholics outside Europe practice Catholicism wih a lot of inidgenous rituals. Evangelical Protestantism and Mormonism are more agressive. They strip tue culture to the core.
@@fee8255 As a Christian I also agree. There is a way to bring people to Jesus all while preserving their culture and traditions. I would imagine Jesus loves this people group's way of life.
fantastical :) I love this floating island concept. It is their way of life that is simply and refreshing.
"Since they live on a floating island, they pay no tax"
Just give it time. The governments of the world will find some way to bleed these people of their money.
So true ,sad
We have floating islands here in Dalarna, Sweden too. They are natural though. Very cool...
It's not just a tradition, it's tax free.
i have been to many of the places you show before they had paved roads .I lived in ICA most of my youth. ( i left there in the late 60 when i was 20 years old) thank you for showing how much has been located seance then. it is wonderful what they have found and maintained !
There is also an vanishing tribe of Sea Faring people ,., Enlarged Hearts & Lungs But same ,., These people ,., Free dive & fish ,., rend Pearls from oysters / clams ,., They also state this might be one of the last generations of this populations stated that numbers were dwindeling
I learn so much watching your show Brian, fascinating thanks
Never realized the islands were that large and elaborate. So cool
Thanks for the video Brian! Good to see they manage to preserve their way of live and show it to visitors
I ll take smoking on the island is out of the question.
Cooking? Or do they eat most everything raw?
Actually no. I was there in late 2016.
We visited an island with similar layout. The tours alternate the islands that the tours visit in order to to include all of the family units in the potential for tourists to purchase their artwork. Which is beautiful btw.
We were allowed to smoke. They had ashtrays!
I encourage everyone that can to visit Peru and especially Lake Titicaca
You can light a spliff on your boat ;-)
There's plenty of water so fires are no worry.
Fascinating insight - thank you for sharing.
this is almost identical to the marshes in the south of iraq they called it chibayesh check that
brien have you seen the guy with the floating island he made and offers people tours, he has hot water, kitchen, bed, plants... 1 meter or more thick of dirt packed ontop of plastic waste made into rafts and bound together as it gets larger, the trees and plants hold the soil together
So if I make a drink on a floating island does that qualify as a "boat drink" or is it an "island drink"? I'm just so confused... better ask Jimmy Buffet...
very very cool. lets pray to the universe that no evil person will try to take advantage of them.
I have no idea who'd try to take advantage of Titicaca.
MecaChuChi Chu agreed
You look hot
They already are been taking advantage of...30 years ago they did not welcome outsiders and becuse greed they were force to tourism's and advance way of living resulting in them been force to abandoned the way of life and the sell of the island to rich persons that just want to make a fortune from them.
you sheep are the ones being taken advantage of
As Spock would say... Fascinating
Superb👍
Love from India💛
Love from NILAMBUR safari ❤️❤️
Your life is amazing! I would love to be able to do what you do! Thank you for sharing it with us through your videos and books.
thats amazing ,what u can learn from people across the globe is amazing.
That's amazing your coming to Scotland! What parts? I would love to meet you! Edinburgh has some amazing architecture and the history is one of the oldest cities in Britain with the only military working castle in Europe that has never closed or been unarmed since it was built!✨x
Thank you Brien. Life is so Interesting.
Interesting and Fascinating. Thanks so much for showing this video on the Floating Islands of Peru.
an island like that is located in Italy in Lake Posta Fibreno. unique phenomenon in Europe. in an area characterized by megalithic tracks and an area perhaps the center of the ancient Cyclopean civilization as the ancient texts cite.
Veroli, Arpino, Sora, Alatri...
I'm sorry, no texts, but places! is an error in the google translator. However this floating island in Italy, is mentioned in the text of the ancient historians ... being the only one still visible today and certainly present in Roman times, as is mentioned, it was said to be near the place where it was the homeland of the Pelasgians! You can find the information on this page: www.termeditito.it/portale/alla-ricerca-dellisola-fluttuante/
In the coming months it will carry out aerial shots with floating island drone so that you can see it!
...and most likely in the archives of the vatican
Way kool Brien! That culture is on the ball, thinking tourism to ensure a continued future. Thanks for the vid:)
WOW! how cool this is! they don't have to pay taxes....lol. I would like to do this in San Diego...LOL. So organic.
I'd love to live there! WiFi and Xbox One is all I would need lol...
juss shows youre still stuck in this sick western system
INODEUX JUSS shows your a troll and take life way too seriously. It was a joke, relax. Alls I was basically saying was it's a beautiful place and serene. If that's not a problem with you.
BRYAN351 LMBO, great point!
beantown
It looks like they have solar power also. That's really cool, thanks Brien.
Titikaka.. such a great name.
beautiful people
So Appreciate all Your hard work always so interesting
So facinateing thank you.
Lovely place and people in Peru 🇵🇪!!
Wonder if they'll make me a floating studio apartment. Work at home tax free.
No more exploitation of my people from the likes of you, begone.
Very nicely explained! Greetings from Germany
there are like these buildings in South of Iraq
Good observation. Thor Hyerdahl noticed that the reed boats on Lake Titicaca were identical to those of the Middle East. Perhaps the blood types of these people haveiddle East connections.
I enjoy your videos. Thank you.
Never heard of them anywhere else. Subbed.
Impressive constructions those islands.
That was truly fascinating. Thank you.
kate worth Fascinating and sad. They are facing extinction. Only 2000 individuals in Perú and 2600 in Bolivia.
@@trifulquita15 that is indeed very sad.
Wow I did not know about this, how fascinating.
Brien you have been to some truly amazing places in the world.
Amazing stuff!
So beautiful.
Love your work so much Brien! Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Float islands of reeds, wow. I've never even heard of this!
It's a Money Maker Island, with Gilligan, the Skipper too, the Millionaire, and his Wife, a Movie Star,
...and the Rest, are here on The Mysterious Floating Islands Of Lake Titicaca In Peru.
Incredible, thank you Brien.
Gorgeous
But why?
These people will inherit the Earth.
this is an eye opener
Fascinating
ingenious. Plus no taxes !
The reed boats reminds me of the Ra Expedition.
Amazing knowledge ty Ms cdf uk
some mad genius should seriously engineer this reed into a modern sustainable building material
Would be very cool someone would dive under the islands and see whats down there. Im sure all kinds of artifacts are just buried in the mud.
Great video!
OMG that is AMAZING ! ! !
They could save an old island by drilling holes through it to the water below and inserting
deflated air bags into the water, then inflating them with a foam like Styrofoam.
They could also use plastic bottles.The bottles are put in nets and weighted down to below the island then the weight is cut to let the bottles float up under the island.
That's not a Mayor friend.
That's a King! ✊🏾🤴🏾 😏🙃😉
Que lindo! Parabéns ao povo criador dessa ilha flutuante.
Vilma Soares Ruiz Enfrentan extincion.... solo quedan 2000 urus en Perú y 2600 urus en Bolivia 😢
@@trifulquita15 Que dó, são perfeitos e um aprendizado para o futuro espero que o Criador de uma solução uma saída para não acontecer. Deus vos protejam.👏👏
Thanks Brien.
What kind of food do they eat, Brien, other than fish??
This actually reminds me of a lake in central Florida where there are floating islands, as well. However, as far as I know, they are not large enough to support humans for living accommodations. I believe it's a State Park??
After the flood and washing out of their empires, their ancestors went from solid stone constructions to floating mobile ones.
Interesting, never knew there were artificial islands thousands of years ago.
You need to do longer videos
I have many.
I know you have some I've watched them, I just prefer the videos that are around at least 30 minutes long. It would be great to hear about how you are getting on with the dna testing of elongated skulls and also if you could talk about possible links between the mayans and olmecs wiith the Egyptians and new things that are happening with dating methods and new technologies that could shed new light on the ancient structures in mexico and Egypt that would be great.
Brien Foerster ...keep them in the 15 to 20 min cause people see the time stamp and don't watch ? like they got better things to do ??
Funny, Like 800 and counting.
If they used aquatic marine spray foam insulation in plastic bottles inside of nets instead of the reed root as the base of their island the island would never sink.
very nice
dude, this is cool, i've been there
I think the extraterrestrials have a sense of humor if they named this lake titticaca. I thought humans were the only ones with a sense of toilet humor.TITTICACA lol
Tourists may increase their revenue, but the constant tourist visiting the areas will damage the reed. The tourist boast also contaminates the water
they could add dirt and rocks on top and add trees and plants and it will stop it from deteriorating.
Even the boats look unusual.
Very interesting thank you :)
I wonder if there is a cultural connection between the Uro people and the "Si-Te-Ca" of NV. Their living conditions are similar. The Si-Te-Ca name was given by the Paiutes with whom they were at war. It means, "Tule Eaters." They retreated to living on rafts made of tule reeds on a lake in NV as protection from the Paiutes and they used tule reeds for food. The Paiutes said they were cannibals and killed off the remaining tribe by asphyxiation in Lovelock Cave.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Si-Te-Cah
Heheheh *Titicaca....*
How many feet long and wide is
the biggest Uros Floating Island would you guess?
They must have to be extremely careful using fire on those islands.
Reminds me of a later Andy Griffith Show episode where Howard goes to live on a tropical island paradise where he finds out there is absolutely nothing to do but sit around and make boats in a bottle to sell to tourists.
My nickname for Titicaca is BoobyPooPoo
Lol
Tuddley, That's a Good One, lol.
Read all the comments & still giggling off n' on, had to let You know. : )) : )) : ))
Betty Luckey
I'm glad I could put a smile on someones face.
Did you find my tippi?
My tippi for me bongholio?
ARE YOU THREATENING ME
looks beautiful. how does it smell there?
Do they do composting toilets then, correct? I know Americans are pansies about outhouses but there is more than enough carbon on that island to enable proper aerobic breakdown into humus.
Can you do all 3 islands in one day tour? Uros, Amantaní and Taquile Islands)? i am not sure if one night in Puno is enough. Please help!
nice work
Great info Brien, I would like to come on one of your tours, I'm a photographer and interested in ancient worlds
How do they handle harsh storms? Are you able to marry into the family or is it forbidden?
There is a legend of giants that floated to western South America across the Pacific on reed rafts.
Do these people have any legends about how they came to be there or what was in the region before them? I have always suspected that there may be ruins beneath Lake Titicaca. Has anyone done any diving ? I think I heard there had been some sonar surveys done
I can't imagine 10 people voting this video down???!
looks like heaven to me
How they cook on this island its dangerous if it gets on fire
Welcome to lake Titi caca
You said different blood types....Is it B-, RH- That's also my blood type, I know it's rare.
Guess they soon going to add plastic bottles to the mix in a way to improve buoyancy.
I’ve seen something similar to this, some dude used trash and plants to make an island. Imagine if every family had an island, and each island had their own government.
Is it next to mt.Boobypoop?
According to Cornholio and if i remember correctly:
Lake Titicaca was supposed to be in Nicaragua
If this island floats does it move all over the water in different locations?
hat kind of energy system do they have? Is it generators and power cords, or are those solar panels? If not, what are they?
Regardless, thank you for yet another lovely video.
evillordBeerus definitely solar panels
+busTedOaS yes I would also like to think so.
Unreal.
