Pete Kelly here. Narrator / writer / researcher / editor behind the channel. This episode was a labour of love. I started writing it back in 2020. I'm glad I held off on releasing it as vast amounts of new data has been released just in the years since. Notably with the incredible discoveries of the Upano Valley just released in 2024. I was lucky enough to visit the Amazon in 2023 where I researched, wrote and filmed much of the footage for the episode. I've been chipping away at it since finishing the script last year and have just spent a solid month finally editing it. Glad to have it finally released!
