I have a friend who has been awake for more than 40 years, and traveled extensively. Once while in Peru, he was taken to an obscure little museum off the beaten path, where he saw chainmail 10 ft high.
there have also been thousands of elongated skulls (Paracas skulls) found in Peru. In Ecuador there is a reproduction of a 25-ft humanoid skeleton found there. Decades ago father Crespi was a monk who lived and worked with the natives in the jungles of Ecuador. Because of his kindness, the men would bring him artifacts they had found in the caves -- giant weapons and armor, solid gold tablets with unusual writing, unique figures & implements from different cultures.
