A big thanks to Winston and the Archaeological Conservancy for making this possible. If you'd like to learn more here's their main page, www.thearchcon...
I was invited to explore a unique ancient city with a legendary Southwestern archaeologist. A site with over 600 years of human history spread across the stunning desert landscape. We found hundreds of artifacts, and explored some of the enduring mysteries of the people who came before us.

If you'd like to learn more or support them, here's a link. donate.archaeologicalconservancy.org/pages/desert-drifter-montezuma-village I hope this is only the beginning of what we can accomplish together as a community!

@harrywalker968 23 часа назад

WHY.. does every explanation relate to rituals, gods, religion.. INSTEAD OF HISTORY, STORIES PASSED DOWN..they didnt have religion.. plus, id ask him, have you spoken to the original owners, for explantions. instead of supositions of times dates uses..a curved structure at begining of story, had pointed mounds coming out & covering it. so. was this built before a flood, & the debri is slowly revealing it.?. i dont trust the spill from any archeologist, scientist. most are indoctinated to state what there told , not form there own opinion.. or they get ousted to do seminars, no grants..niel de grasse tyson, is a good example of dont rock the boat, i like my position as head of astrophysics..

I've known Winston for many years, and have had the distinct pleasure and honor of working with him on occasion. HE is truly one of the greatest treasures we have in the desert southwest. Truly one of a kind, immensely knowledgeable, and an absolute joy to be with in the field. I guarantee you that no matter how much he showed/shared/taught you, it is the tiniest fraction of what he holds. Seeing these places through his eyes out there on foot, has been among the most amazing experiences in my life.

@theresebennett5372 2 дня назад

Desert Drifter, you have definitely earned a trip to this amazing place in New Mexico. Your constant concern about preserving the history of those who came before us. It wasn't by happenstance you were invited to this amazing place. It's your ethical stance you share with all of us. I've been watching all your videos with my mother, who has Alzheimer's. It's tough to find a show that doesn't upset her. Yet I can put your videos on, and she lightens up immediately! I want to thank you for all you do for all of us, every day, by trekking so many amazing places. Then, producing these amazing videos to share with all of us. Honestly, we've given up on standard television networks, and now quality videos produced by people like you. Thank you for brightening my mother's life as you do!

As an archaeological conservancy member and amateur archaeological volunteer, thank you for this! TAC is doing wonderful work protecting these sites.

@brkaz5864 2 дня назад

Thank you. As a native of the American Southwest I have long been a member of the Archeological Conservancy. The work they do ties us to our ancient landscape and helps us understand those that came before us. Too much of those ancient landscapes, particularly in the Southwest, are being sold off by the "stewards" of those lands to foreign mining interests. The work being done by the Conservancy is of vital importance.

@number1angel66 День назад

Why are indigenous people not the ones in possession of the land? I'm grateful it is being preserved and protected but it hurts to know so many natives were murdered and horribly mistreated yet the white people take over everything and are somewhat disrespectful, as the one guy said, "stinkin' cliffs and another white guy making up stories again, it's what we do...", his own words. I am white but I think them getting the land and making things up is extremely disrespectful, and I left a comment to that effect. I would like to see the indigenous people from that area stand up to the government. I just get frustrated about this subject. When I come across the abuses the indigenous people suffered, like the Osage natives for example, I get upset. Blessings of love and light to you and your family and friends.

@redmoondesignbeth9119 2 дня назад

@@PeteKiefer:) My favorite memory was how the animals would start coming out right after the park closed. One time the Staff was sitting at the edge playing cards and a MAGNIFICENT Buck slowly and regally strolled past us about 20 feet away. He was with 2 does. . I think he was showing off. *It was during the solar eclipse and we hosted school kids to come check it out. The Park had 2 very large telescopes. All the Native Staff took off that day as it was forbidden for them to observe an eclipse. The Park also brought out the telescopes at night. I saw Saturn and it was overwhelming to know I existed and It was in my same world. You could not believe in a flat after that seeing the curve of the planet. *While I've lived off and on in Aztec for 40 years I also have lived all over from Wash to Tampa, originally from the Chicago area. I have NEVER felt the peace like I have in the 4 Corners. *Rose B Simpson was Artist-in-Residence for a month. Her mom is Roxanne Swentzell Artist Royalty in Santa Fe. The Grandmother is the voice of Chaco Canyon. She is Bear Clan and during her stay there were bear sightings in the area. The morning she was to leave tho, she was delayed because a Bear was blocking the #2 entrance to the park. *There is a sweet video of the Kiva with music but no people. It almost gives you the feel of that place. It was more spiritual than a church. I would spend most evenings in the dark and sometimes a couple of friends would join. I could NOT go in during a Full Moon. Scary. *Now, I have to add I am very psychic since I was on diapers and they put me on drugs as a 5 yr old to make it go away. Made it worse. So these are my impressions which the Staff did NOT want to talk about. I could feel a strong presence there...and thru the whole park. But at night in the Kiva I swear I was aware of dancers. I was never the same. This is my theory and I realize some think it is BS...but in my Heart I believe that their Shamans were aware that the Spanish were coming and they purposely raised their vibration thru dance and ceremony to occupy a separate dimension. I got a strong sense of a dimensional elevator. I believe "they" are still in that spot. HOW could ALL the natives just disappear 800 years ago all thru the SW and Mexico. Aztec is at the 3 Rivers so there should have been water. If people just left where did they go? Why isn't the land littered with skeletons if things were that extreme? I'm 72 now and have had my Visions proven after all this time. In my Heart I believe that WE are going thru a dimensional separation also. There is SO much polarity. Matter is frequency. Happy is one frequency and Hate is in another and two discordant frequencies can not occupy the same space. IMO Reality is like Swiss Cheese with pockets of alternate realities in the same area but not interacting and each will eventually fade away from the other. Any more chat and you can google me if you add "Santa Fe" to my handle name. :)

I was a bit surprised (but pleased) to learn that they're now connected to the Windover site in Florida, with which I am very familiar. (8,000 year old loom-woven cloth found there, as well as other very rarely preserved items such as human brain tissues - I know Dr. Doran and have his book on the site.) To get to explore a site like you did - it's a real treat. I had a lot of (focused on my areas of research) questions I'd love to put to Dr. Winston on ancient technology and diet, especially on lithics. I also learned something I hadn't considered - that having large towns and even cities could also be a defensive move! Keep up the good work, and I enjoy your channel!

I worked at Guadalupe Mountains NP and fell in love with the 4 corner area. Was blessed to get to explore quite a bit. Love traveling with you now that I can’t. Hugs to you & Evelyn

Visiting the four corners many times over many years, I have experienced some beautiful things I cannot explain, life changing- thank you DD I probably won’t make it back in person again but you come as close as humanly possible. Much respect

I appreciate your independence and would hope you will remain independent and express your own ideas. I have noticed that these experts tend not to accept new ideas. You are very smart and can come to your own conclusions.

Yes, I totally agree 👍 Besides people who Hike alone love hiking ALONE that's why they Hike alone. God Bless us all. ❤

This channel has become one of my favorites, your hikes are always interesting. Some of the places I visited in 70s and the chgs are really amazing, weather and fools have taken their toll but so much is waiting to be seen and deserves to be preserved. Thks for showing us this, be watching to see where we go next

Drifter, it's easy and gratifying to see that The Lord is blessing you, because your videos keep getting better and more interesting. You have people out here praying for you that you don't even know about
