1
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,360
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
Nowadays,
we also use this soil

16
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,680
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
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
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:54,880
When you take ayahuasca,

67
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,640
you need to prepare a question.

68
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:01,800
She will provide an answer.
