Renowned adventurer and explorer Alex Chionetti joins us to describe his journeys deep into the legendary Tayos Caves of Ecuador. For years, explorers have challenged these caves to give up their secrets–but are there any secrets there, or is it just another blind alley in mankind’s long quest to recover the wisdom of the ancients? Alex has spent thirty years of his life exploring the mysteries of the lost civilizations of the South American jungle. Here, he describes not only his amazing findings about the Tayos Caves, but also his discovery of two lost cities and much more.

Why is the ancient language of the Shuar people who make the caves the center of their culture connected to the middle European language Maygar? How is it that Japanese sailors reached the west coast of South America long before humans were supposed to be able to navigate the oceans? Or did they?

Entertain these and many other questions on this exciting trip into the deep past and one of the great mysteries of our time.
