BALANCED ROCK - North Salem, NY (Walkthru Video) 

I can totally see there being all kinds of things out there! So much clearly worked stone in all of that area!

Many more than I think people realize!

@@WanderingWolf Right! There are all kinds of ancient sites here in the US❤️🐝🤗

Interesting. Thank you for sharing that.

Lol…yes, nature is really amazing sometimes! Great to see you here brother!

@@WanderingWolf I’m always here buddy. You just don’t see me sometimes lol but I’m here.

So many! That’s a main road and people pass by all day long.

The problem with this theory is this. We have not seen this kind rock stacking on any of the retreating glaciers, we have been studying for over 100 years. The drop stones do not erratically pile up like that. Along with the hundreds of these "erratics" left in the eastern United States, the odds of this happing so often, is astronomical. The majority of these kind of rocks (per square mile) are found in South East Asia. An area, not glaciated during the ice age.

@jamesn.economou9922 That area was part of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, not glaciers, the determining factor is the origin of the rocks, all of them, where did they come from is all that's required. Where's their source, is that source up-flow from the site so transported or not. There's no mystery, yet not too easy, the Blue Stones of Stonehenge had a local source, not from the south source as assumed an example. There is flow to ice sheets, a decent map has topo contours: media.springernature.com/full/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-018-31166-2/MediaObjects/41598_2018_31166_Fig1_HTML.png?as=webp

I have to agree with the reply here about no evidence of this happening in recent times. But, we continue to document and explore! So glad you like these walk thru videos! Plenty more to come!

@WanderingWolf Found this map source for geology downloads for Salem looks good to check out, cold & clear here: www.nysm.nysed.gov/research-collections/geology/gis

@@jamesn.economou9922 indeed, there are common patters, all over the globe! these are intentionally built structures - probably not by people like us but taller - from the americas over europe/russia to most parts of asia and oceania.

It does seem like something may be there….

Exactly at 00:35 looks like a face, big nose, open mouth and eyes right next to to the nose.

It does look like some type of carving

@@WanderingWolf there are a few carved rocks in the surrounding area where I live. The balanced rock is incredible. I like imagining giants honing a skill practicing finding a pivot point, the fulcrum, and balance. Getting the feel of the center, to make a solid enduring base.

Worth investigating! Would love to know that. Good to see you here brother!

Not at all

Oh

Yes, often these are Effugies of Turtles, Frogs, & other Critters. Perhaps a Clan Area signposts. Or maybe a way to be protected from Lightning!🌩

The entire area was stunning! Loved the drive here. Your wedding must have been incredible brother!

So good to connect, I agree!

🙏

Thank you! I have not been to Tampa but explored some interesting things around Miami and the Keys last year! Florida definitely needs some looking into…

Thank you for your support! Grateful to have you here!

I agree. This stuff was stacked up, after the glaciers had melted away!

😂😂😂😂😂 They may be trying to pull our collective leg.

When the New England was covered in deep ice that was slowly moving south, millions of rocks and boulders were being dragged along too. They cut ruts and grooves in the granite mountains, all over this area. It some places very large rocks sit on the roadsides, mostly above ground, because there is granite bedrock right under them. (Radon too)! My guess: The very large rocks like Tripod, were riding on a 'cushion' of smaller rocks beneath. They were being ground into pebbles and dust, while surrounded by hard ice. When the ice stopped moving south and the melting started, there must have been major flooding. As Tripod started to sink towards the granite bedrock just below, it was supported by some large stones, the smaller stones were washed away. Only the few larger stones that were supporting the weight of Tripod, remained. They were Trapped. Pinned in place on top and bottom. One support stone in the exact center would have done the job of holding Tripod. Two support stones wouldn't stay balanced. It had to be One, Three or more stones. Four or five would have worked, if they were mostly the right size. But 3 stones, could be random in size. They would still hold up old Tripod. The trip south was hard on those large boulders, if they weren't round and easily could roll. As they moved over the Granite mountains of NH, towards Lexington and Concord, the bottom face of these boulders were worn away by the granite mountains and bedrock below them. That's why I believe that's why many of these rocks are flat on the bottom. I have a few very large stones in my backyard. The low rock walls/fences built by the Massachusetts farmers (clearing the land and making property lines) don't run near these large stones, that leads me to think these few large stones have never been moved since the ice age. I've been watching for 50 years (since 1973) and these stones are not sinking into the soft soil. There must be hard bedrock under them. So, if I were to remove the soil around the bottoms of these boulders, what would I find underneath them? Would there be any support stones holding them a few inches off the bedrock? I did some googling, and digging under large boulders is very dangerous!

It is odd, that the retreating glaciers (worldwide) do not leave stones like this. We have been documenting retreating glaciers since the late 1800's and no stacked boulders, on smaller stones. Your theory is melting before my eyes. @@XRinger

@@jamesn.economou9922 If there were hundreds of these stones with smaller support stones under them, the cause could be just random chance, considering there were millions of large stones moving south, for a very long time. In NY, the ice was more than 1.5 miles deep. That's about 8,000 feet deep. The weight on the rocks was massive. I think there's a reason NH is called the Granite State. I think a lot of granite was moved south. Look at the New England granite maps, and the amount of granite is amazing. But the northern part of Maine, has almost none! Why? Because it's granite was moved south? Is the bedrock in other parts of the world similar to New England? If the population of earth was 300 to 400 million people in the early 1300s, How large was the population of New England during the1300s and before. I don't think a lot of people that used granite as a building material living here in the early days. There were people here, but not a lot. I've been to Mystery Hill in NH and my impression was they had a small population, compared to towns in England or France etc.

Many like this along the east coast! Worth exploring more and documenting!
