You know, I have to wait for a bit. So, we got um a lot of

Support and we cannot be more grateful. Thank you so much to all of you and that are supporting this. So, this support at the same time um is going to be we're going to share how how myself right now uh will keep opening the road before the arrival of the whole team. So, I will share with you a route that I'm planning the because this week the weather is changing here. I'm sleeping, you know, uh under the beautiful sky. And as the end of the summer around here

In the Aegean, um we're expecting some rain. And so, I'm planning to move.

But, I already have the route that we are going to take for for the um for the scouting. So, I'm not stopping the scouting for this month. Extra month. Remember this was not planned before. Um before the plan was uh that the crew will be here uh around this time. So, this month and a half an extra one. Yeah, check this mountain.

So, in this field report, we are going to be sharing uh as we have the first one for September 30. Um we're going to keep doing that. This format, I will keep doing it also also because of my appreciation to the to all of you that are supporting us. Um so, it's my uh compromise to or compromiso we say in Spanish. But, it's my will also. I want to share more often with you what is going on and during this month. So, with the team decided to do this.

Uh so, I'm starting to do this this a little bit more of this format. And at the same time, we can show you the places we are scouting. And in with some more frequency, we're going to be sharing pieces like the one we are releasing uh end of this month, September 30.

And um well, I guess that's it. If I have to say something else, uh well, I need to find a way to

To fix this iPhone. I don't know if it's the charger. I haven't found a charger here in the island, you know? I need to find somebody. But, the guy that I was sharing mine, his phone is in the same situation, you know? You don't know if it's the phone, if it's the cable. And as I had a problem with my card, my debit card, I'm paying with my phone. So, literally, I cannot pay anything now until I find a way to fix this. I hope it's not the iPhone itself.

I mean, I'm sure it's not. It will not be. Um And so now I'm going back and forward. Uh I have this cable now, another one that I had. But I don't have the power thing, you know, that you connect to electricity. So, I'm trying to find it now in the town here that I'm kind of close to. So, that will be Now, so I I uh um to I'm going to connect to upload this

For the guys to see what is going on and also you. So, remember if you like what we do, if you want to keep supporting our project, Stones and Serpents documentary film expedition, also, you know. We have already been working for a more than a year on it. And now next frontier is Turkey that I already scouted for 2 months. In November we start filming that. So, that and then we will have the whole Aegean circuit that we want to share uh that we are going to show in our movie.

In our final movie, you know, or first let's say first.

>> The weather in the Mediterranean can be quite rough.

>> We have lost the ability to execute or perform the mystery. And we have lost it because we no longer see

>> People say it's more psychedelic, more psychedelic, whatever.

>> Hey man. So, the

I would like I said, I don't have any way that I can record now. I'm charging everything here. I have this problem with my phone. I will do it through this I will use this platform. I just wanted to say again, thank you to everybody that is supporting us right now. I'm here talking with It's just going to be me or both of us in the video? >> I don't know. Maybe just you, but whatever.

>> Okay, I just wanted to say again, thank you to everybody that is supporting us. The last video we shared with you about the situation we are right now. Um Well, we had a lot of support and well, we are extremely grateful. And also, I would like to um

Explain what this support that you are giving us is creating for us. As I was doing a scouting for the past 2 and 1/2 months in Turkey, uh and now I I am in Greece in Samothrace because visa and also because of the delay in budgets that I was sharing with you the other day. Um >> [clears throat] >> this support that we are having is allowing us to in real time continuing with the scouting. So, what I'm saying is that um I am in Samothrace right now.

So, we already created our route to keep going. Um thank you thank I mean I mean we can just do it because of the support we are getting. So, we are going to be sharing more often. Uh right now I'm actually uploading uh some some materials that I've been recording here in the island and also I want to share with you uh what is going to be our next steps which

Are very promising and are very much connected with everything that we are researching as a stone circle. So, the scouting continues thanks to you to all of your support. So, once again, thank you so much. I want also to give again uh special um thanks to the congregation to the Dr. Robert Schoch uh for the support and the information and the guidance of um because what guide us is the text. The actual evidence. So, that's the way we are choosing the places we are going. And right now it will make a lot of sense for you the map that we are going

To show you where I am now. The places that I come from um to get into this island. And I'm a little bit stranded in the meantime, but again thanks thank to your support um I can keep moving. So, I will. Also, there is another factor which is the we are at the end of the summer. And today when I was making the video to share with you what what are our next steps, uh it was sunny, like extremely sunny, like um

Good weather, especially for the situation of living in a beach, but the storm is coming. Uh we checked the the forecast and I checked it yesterday and knew there was some uh some rough weather is coming and I can see the cloud. So, I will also show you a little video about the difference of the video I did like 3 hours ago and now it's almost covered

With some charged uh clouds. It looks amazing, but I'm not sure how I'm going to um what's going to happen during the night. >> [music]

>> And uh also there is another news. Um things like come in in waves. So, also we are working in that manner. So, we created our official website. Uh there you can very easily see the different platforms we are sharing our work. And if you want to keep supporting us or start supporting us or even just check our material and and if you like the style we do um the the different approaches that we have in the different platforms to the material we're showing um please

Go and visit. It will be down here our official website. So, we're very happy also uh for this. Okay, I also would like to um share the actual route of the scouting of this um 2026. Um we started in Istanbul when I met with Martin. Uh from Istanbul we had straight south uh near to near Ephesus uh to Kusadasi. There we stayed um for a week, 10 days even. I don't really remember exactly, but uh it was um a good time there for the scouting because we made some interviews as we

Told you in the previous video. From there uh we had north again um to Pergamon. Which was the main um place that we were um trying to scout a bit more in in depth. Um so, we managed to do that and in Pergamon uh, we separated, Martin and I, in a very unexpected, uh, way. We had to, um, we didn't found, uh, ticket for both of a bus and we needed to take the bus from another place, not just in in Pergamon than where we were together.

So in the bus station we just said like, "Oh, okay, man. See you. Good luck." He had to go back to take a flight from Europe and first to Istanbul, so it was, um, he he had the priority to not lose it and and well, we'll meet again anyways. But since then we separated and I am s- staying alone now and keep going by myself with the scouting. Uh, so I went back to Istanbul. In Istanbul I spent like a month uh, doing different stuff uh, related with Ruby and after happened what you already know

That we told you in previous video about, uh, this, uh, delays in budget, etc., etc. So I needed to find a place to wait because also because of this it got delayed our team gathering of the whole SNS team, Lucas, Miko,

Even Toran that you never know where he is, but, uh, when we call, uh, we met. >> [laughter] >> And, um, so after that I'm in Istanbul. I took a bus to Alexandroupoli where you can take a ferry to this island. And since then I've been like

10 Days, something like that, already here in the island living, um, a bit stranded maybe, but, uh, the island is taking care of me. And also from this point uh thanks to your support we have decided to keep going with the scouting. Uh as I have to wait until November for the whole team to be in these locations. Um

We didn't know how to approach it, but now with the support we are getting um we just decided to keep going. So, this is thanks to you. Um I'm always connected with the guys over there in Chile. Um so, in a way we're all together on this. And um and I will share with you also my next step which if you understand the universe of the research we are doing with Stones and Serpents you would understand how important these places are how important they were how important

They are right now and will be. So, from this place that I'm I'm on now, I will keep going south to the island of Lemnos.

Okay, so I'm in the exact same spot now that I was recording before. And uh well, you can see now

It was sunny, but now we have something different ahead of us. I'll show you. First same mountain.

And we can see some beautiful storm coming.

I'm heading I'm heading back now to my place where I'm staying in the beach to pick up some something to wear. And

Going to pick some stuff. Cuz I'm going to connect with the guys again and check this out.

I've never seen the the water here so so calm. In these days, I mean. So, the calm before, you know. Very inviting. Going to take a swim, probably. Okay.
