Howdy Y'all, thanks for watching this video and all the amazing feedback. Thought it was a good idea to clarify some thoughts I left out of the final edit. It is my goal to share my love for the outdoors and human / natural history to likeminded people, young people, people who do not have the ability to get outside anymore. Not to increase traffic to sensitive locations. I don't usually say this- but I respectfully ask you to keep this location limited to your discussions with friends and family. Theres a couple reasons I don't show the artwork here: 1.) I do not want to show the names modern people have carved into the face of the artwork because it's a crime against humanity 2.) the permit process states I legally cannot show petroglyphs / pictographs online. On a personal note- Since I started making outdoor exploration videos several months ago, I have been completely astounded by the huge volume of viewers and overwhelming positive feedback. Every day I wake up able to pursue this dream feels too good to be true. From the bottom of my heart- thank you to everyone here. More and more I have to consider the impact I may have. I hope you can understand that I'm just a regular person trying to do the right thing while sharing my love for nature and the ways humans lived on this planet long before our strange modern world. I love discussing differing ideas and opinions if you are willing to articulate reasonably. Much love to you all and hope you are having a good start to the leap year yewwww- POV
Good answer to unasked, but interesting questions. I will try to give you some interesting places near where we live in Tennessee to Google Earth. Of course they are, for the most part, better seen in person. When possible. We live in SE Tennessee near the junction on Tn, Ga and Aladamnbama near Nickajack Dam on the Tennessee River. Also near the now flooded Nickajack Cave. The old dam upriver, Hales Bar Dam, has been featured on a couple of ghost hunter channels. Coincidentally I died on Lock and Dam road in 1978. It's the dead end road to the old dam on the west side of the river. I guess the ghost of the hit man I survived might be wandering around out there somewhere. I've gone out there at night a few times to check but no contact. Just wanted to piss him off. Um, it's a true, but long, story. One of many in my undeserved miracles filled life. We live on the southern end of the Sequatchie Valley which, according to Louis L'Amour, is one of the most beautiful places in the world. As spoken thru his character Jubal Sackett. Coincidentally also the name of the book. If you don't read L'Amour you might want to check out some of his fiction novels for interesting places to Google Earth out where the wild things are near you. He was famous, kinda, for the areas featured in his books being "real" places. Be back in a minute, 5yr old granddaughter has a question....
After finding your channel, I've tried to watch other similar ones and-while you might just be a "regular person"-you are uncommon in that your videos give a personality to the place you're investigating rather than attempting to make of yourself a Personality. Your modesty in that regard has its own appeal. You allow the landscape to speak for itself and that's why I watch. Thank you for your excellent work. Truly.
I am an old man in my 70's and think your travels are very nice for your memories. I have not walked around the block for 20 years. But your video's are like short vacations for me. Thank you.
@@riuniusherb4209 I’m giving him the best possible health advice for maintaining a high quality of life into his 80s and 90s, older people’s muscles atrophy badly if they don’t exercise and it can make their independence and quality of life go to shit
15:00 desert brine shrimp are amazing. Their eggs lie dormant for like up to 12 years or something like that and when it rains enough they hatch. Crazy adaptation to an environment that rarely receives lots of rain
I think you are going to experience a significant increase in subscribers. A Spanish RU-vidr with several million subscribers has commented about your video of the canyon with geometric cubes and has named and linked your channel. Congratulations
The features in sandstone that you said you’ve never seen before are common, especially in arid and coastal areas-it’s called Tafoni, and is a type of weathering that mostly occurs in sandstone. There is still no scientific consensus on how tafoni exactly forms, but one common hypothesis involves salt weathering (hence why it is common in arid and coastal areas) and that would track given this basin’s past, hosting an alkaline pluvial lake during the Pleistocene, into which salts and clays were deposited. After the Pleistocene, these salty sediments would have basically sandblasted the rock when picked up by winds and thrown against them.
I was thinking the same thing. I live on Vancouver Island and there are a lot of sandstone Cliffs that face the ocean that have very similar weathering
:) Better than drone blades, Microphone rumble from high winds, and people who tend to have long soliloquies. ;) Who was it that said "Less is more". :)
In my view, "megalithic" is a term reserved for anthropogenic structures made by moving and modifying massive stone blocks. This appears to be natural geology, in situ, that has been utilised by people with maybe some modification. commonly called a rock shelter in English or refugio rupestra in Spanish.
This young feller has got some mad skills at creating irresistible content. Can't wait to see his next video. It's a way to remind me just how many amazing sites there are to see and imagine the history.
@@the_pov_channel but don't get into RU-vid thing of making content more so for sake of just putting out content? what seen that not what your doing? not everything has be in the middle of no where, but you making video's and I like what I seeing 🙂 the little rock pool, as something to call it? how isolated was it? if Isolated enough I the life living in it may well be youneek animal, critters, etc. that only live there? or died out every where else? abet optimistic but may back the dinosaurs maybe? insects only every seen locked in amber and the like? 🙂
It was really nice. Feeling very fortunate to have seen this place. In couple weeks without rain it will be back to its usual arid state. But it shall return again.
Thank you for showing me this. I'm 60 years old and never knew about this place. Amazing! Your channel is the best exploration channel I have seen yet.
I knew instantly where you were. You should see it in wildflower season, with fields of gold and purple. The Franciscan sandstone weathers into fascinating shapes not just here, but in other places, also inhabited by ancient Native people. Be careful. I've seen Mojave green rattlesnakes around there. (You can also smell them in some areas.)
@@the_pov_channel It's a kind of earthy musky smell. Kind of like old compost but musky. I've smelled it around a couple rock dens and also in one area near the lakeshore, where the boardwalk crosses a small gully. I've met rattlesnakes twice there, in March, always near water sources, though I've heard from rangers that they see them regularly around the rock areas, and I've smelled them in a rocky canyon area.
This is arguably your best video to date. The eldrich beauty of the sites, the sound, the drone shots (particularly the crooked waterways [?] near the end) have left me feeling once again in love with the beauty of this world. Thank you for ending with a sunset. It was so appropriate. My deepest thanks.
You are evidently an ancient soul, fully tuned in to nature and respectful of those who walked the earth before you. It is no coincidence that you seek and arrive at these primordial sites. You are in fact being direct to and brought here. For a purpose more than a reason. Your hiking through wilderness will become an exploration of the sacred and finally the journey to the self. The energy stored in these primeval rocks that you are absorbing will help open up your inner eye to a whole different plane of existence.
We ALL are ancient souls, stuck in a Reincarnation Soul Trap. We eat physical items, to extract the energy within, yet there are beings above us (that have taken control of this realm) that feed directly off of our fear and suffering emotional energys. This place is a human farm, and we have been farmed for a very Very long time. Each incarnation, we are forced to swim in the waters of forgetfulness before We are sent back into another physical body. Forever Concious Research Channel - if you want to learn more
I have read about this fascinating location, seen photos of the amazing pictographs and zoomed around that area via Google Earth, but will likely never get to visit in person as I live hundreds of miles away in Oregon. Your great video has allowed me to see it from ground level and I very much enjoyed it. Thanks and praise for your efforts and sharing here. Very nice videography on a gorgeous day.
It was an excellent video and edit. I really enjoyed the sounds during the drone footage. At 20:00 you can clearly see the line between Tan color sandstone and the Grey color of the Concrete Lichen that is all over the exterior of this structure. There are also other colors of lichen on these rocks. The Grey concrete lichen will help resist the erosion of the sandstone over time. At 28:41 the uniformly shaped + dispersed mounds in this valley floor are called Mima Mounds. These are most commonly thought by geologists' to be caused by seismic earthquakes resulting in a Simatic pattern. Quite a bit of study has been done on these. I've seen them in Washington State. It was fun to see them here. Thank you for the excellent video!
Yeah I noticed those mounds too and have seen a video about them in Washington. If they're earthquake created that would explain the San Andreas fault being only a stones throw away from there. But I hardly buy anything from quackademia, mounds are associated with GIANTS/SASQUATCHES
@@sovereigncosmicwildman Why do you suppose there is no evidence of giants or sasquatches, like at all? No fossils, nothing... What even leads you to believe there were giants? I can honestly only assume the bible? And okay, let's just assume they were built by giants or sasquatch, and which one is it? Giants, or sasquatch? and what is the logical connection that leads you to associate them with the mounds?
Wow wow!! Lichen is amazing on its own. Highly recommend people here to research it if they are unfamiliar. What an amazing combination of organisms to create hardy life. And thank you so much for explaining those bumps. I thought it was the result of old agriculture- but this is so much more interesting. Im blown away thanks for the input I will be researching this phenomenon
Scrambling over and inside the petrified remains of those gigantic creatures must have been awesome. Half your luck mate. I couldn't decide whether it was one enormous creature or several. What a privilege. You gave us some amazing footage, so thank you.
Wow, what a mesmerizing place. Indeed those rocks would have been an ideal place to live. They must have supported communities of people for eons. Thank you so much for sharing 💖🙏🕊
I want to thank you for your time effort and love.. i was an anthropology major 50 years ago, but since i was a kid i wanted to go where youre taking me and see what you do. Im now 75 and my body doesn't permit me to do what you're doing. The drone footage adds a dimension and perspective that i truly appreciate too. Thank you so much! ! !
What an incredible area, absolutely stunning. Can surely picture bison at one time. Life there was blessed and magical for sure. Thank you for not giving glory to vandalism, very curious about the art. The place reminds me of a Colorado plateau or humongous mountain valley. You are appreciated.
Bison and Megafauna galore at one point. Could see some pretty massive migrations happening. Definitely reminiscent of parts of SW Colorado I have visited before
2:37. That looks a bit like a bird of prey. Or, more accurately, a flightless terror bird, with a long, menacing beak. It's laying in a curled position and the head is to the left of the curve, facing down-screen. Trippy. I love this channel because you visit so many amazing places and you clearly do research on the topics you discuss. Researching alone does not make a topic interesting. Luckily, you pick good things to talk about and usually pique my interest. All that is great and all, but what I love about the channel the most is you. You respect nature. You respect history. Your genuine personality and good nature is obvious because you are simply being yourself. From the UK. Peace, brother!
Thank you, Nolan. This is an amazing place and your videography, especially the drone shots and high altitude shots of the meandering waterways, give me a sense of really being there and 'knowing' the place. By birth, I'm a natural-born nature mystic. As a boy I knew nothing about such things-only that when I was out doors and away from people, nature sometimes 'spoke' to me and gave me sensations and experiences that 'rocked' me to the core-that I later learned are called "ecstatic," and "transcendent." As an adult, my life-path has led me to live in a vast urban area. In my younger years I managed to get out of it occasionally, into the wilderness. On a few occasions I managed to back-pack far enough and for long enough that the bindings of so-called 'civilization' were shed and I found myself once again in the true reality of our ancestors. They lived in a world so different from ours, it is now difficult for us to even imagine, let alone experience. But we can, if we allow ourselves to go far enough and long enough to let go of what we think we know. There, in a world without clocks, a world without machines, a world without the history we are taught, or the 'science' that we think explains what is 'real' and what is 'not', we live among the 'gods'. They reside in stars, the sun, the moon, the air, the clouds, the lightening, thunder, and rain-and everywhere upon the earth. In the plants, the animals, the rocks, the rivers and streams, the fish, and the insects that populate shallow pools of water. And they speak to us and tell us how long they have been and how often we have come and gone, over and over and over again. Our human history is far more ancient and far stranger than we've been told. Our origins are mythological. Literally. This work of art you've shared has reminded me of all that-now old and infirm and unable to physically return to what is my (our) true home. I thank you for that! Very much!
@@davidfileccia6317 Perhaps. Perhaps it could benefit us both. But first, do you understand that any wisdom you glean from words you read or hear is yours? It isn't contained in these shapes we call letters assembled into words strung together into sentences. It isn't contained in the sounds we make when pronouncing them, either. If that is true, we have to ask, where is it then? It's a good question, one worthy of a lifetime of search, hopefully never satisfied with answers expressed in words alone. Moreover, the words I typed were inspired by Nolan's work, having reminded me of truths I seldom recall, much less embody or give voice. He's given us a true gift-a genuine work of art (and I do not use that word lightly). My peculiar life led me to find and sit in the presence of some far more focused and dedicated to the search than am I. By comparison, I'm an irresponsible slug-too ashamed to look the best of them steadily in the eye; knowing I lack the strength and will to sacrifice what is necessary to shoulder even a small portion of the responsibility they bear. Yet, I suspect such words of lamentation would be regarded as foolishness by them. As one (a British Lord, no less-who passed from this world decades ago) said in response to my report of observing the forces of attraction and repulsion taking place within myself said, "We do not reward objective self-observation, it being reward enough in itself." For what it may be worth, I do have a rather odd substack, to which I seldom post. But you're welcome to follow if you like, there's no fee required. Just be sure to read the Read Me first: fbfos.substack.com
Nolan your videos explore places that I never imagined existed !! Your explorations are truly one of a kind. Keep them coming. I'm really enjoying this. Thank you and Stay Safe !!
Hey, Buddy. Have you read "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn? If not, you're welcome. If so, I wouldn't be surprised. Your respect for the "Leavers" is remarkable. Another great video!
Hey DesertRascal! I have not but upon reading your comment I looked it up and promptly ordered it. Right up my alley. Thanks for the rec I'll have to let ya know my thoughts
@@marshastopa Yeah me too. Mind blowing new way to see humanity. Nothing secret though...just opens our eyes to what we've closed them too. Totalitarian Agriculture and Unlimited Competition is humanity's death sentence. Orcas are now eliminating their competition directly....only humans did that. We were supposed to be the first, then be stewards to the rest. But we became destroyers of any and all competition to the creation of human food. Goodbye Amazon...more farms, more animal husbandry. More population, then famine, then war, then plague. Not necessarily in that order and usually all at the same time. Progress? Only our technology evolved, our generational knowledge is thrown away like trash.
The north-south alignment may have been natural but augmented in some way. East was the most sacred direction, the direction of beginnings, spirituality, and peace. For people that saw all nature as alive and sacred, that awesome rock formation must have had some meaning to them.
The birds singing in the background are Medowlarks, Mockingbird, and Canyon Wren. The Mockingbird was mocking the birds he hears in the area. As for those who deface Indian ruins are messing with the wrong ruins.
Hey! I watched all the video! I am feeling sick since some days. So it was a beautiful journey into nature. I think that this rocks have nothing to do with megalithic structures. The lake in the background makes me feeling shuree that the this rocks were eroded by the water coz long time ago the waterline changed all the time. What we see is typical water erosion. Imagen this rocks laying directly at the shores of this big lake and water is constantly clashing against it. Later when the water line sunk dramatically this rocks were getting dry and animals and humans found shelter in it.
Hey Rainer, sorry to hear that. Hang in there and I hope you will be back out into nature in no time. In the meantime happy to help keep you entertained. I agree- this rock is unique and beautiful in its own right. I agree with your analysis. However, I think there is a chance humans may have had a role in carving aspects of these habitats out of stone, which in a way attributes itself to an ancient structure? Maybe im getting a bit carried away. 🤷♂ Either way, thanks for watching.
Looks like the fossilised remains of giant creatures, either whales or dinosaurs or both. The caves and structures look like bones to me....I don't think they were carved to look like that....and the whole area makes me think of a long dried up sea bed....just to an "untrained" eye of course. So interesting and amazing to think that people came along and made them "home". Perfect shelters. The first one you showed made me think of some sort of female pelvis looking shape, with the inner part like a womb....again, just an untrained opinion, but those are the things that stand out to me. Beautiful and stunning scenery that you've shown , and thank you from an Aussie!
Great work all around. You keep getting better w experience driven by desire to know. Great editing work to keep the bird sing track during the drone flyover. Cheers!
I live fairly close to this area and have camped/visited many times. That said, this video shows spectacular views, the likes of which I've never seen out there. I also fly drones but your skills really are at another level. Great job documenting your visit. You really knocked it out of the park with this one!
Very cool landscape! It’s even more beautiful hearing the birds singing and seeing the life in that pool of water. It’s a pleasure watching your channel. Have you mentioned your dogs name on this channel? Such a great buddy to explore with.♥️
100% the top of that rock would have been very easy to get up to and absolutely would have been used as a lookout by the Indigenous people. However visitors now are not allowed to go onto the top of the rock
Hello Nolan, this is one of the best videos you have made so far. The dedication, quality footage, planning, editing and the ambient sounds all blended to make a beautiful work. Many people do not understand how much planning goes into your trips and how much time you spend editing the footage you get. I am an amateur photographer myself and i understand. TY! The rock formation that you present at the beginning is the remnant of an ancient giant tree branch that broke off close the tree trunk which is probably buried underground a few dozen meters deep. The hole in the middle is where the core of the branch used to be. If you look at it closely you will see that it resembles a piece of petrified wood, only on a massive scale. Wood fibers leave specific striation marks that can be identified both in modern tree remains and in the giant petrified trees that became our mountains. At 13:30 you can see the remains of another giant petrified tree branch stretching across the land almost completely buried by the flood deposits. The reason i say branch is because these ancient trees measured hundreds of kilometers (yes i said kilometers) in height and had diameters in the dozens of kilometers range. These smaller broken parts we see dotted around the landscape are remnants of their fallen branches. It is still correct to call them "rock formations" because technically any petrified plant becomes a rock formation. Our geology is ancient biology. The cavities formed in these ancient tree fragments were sculpted by fast water flows which go through that massive valley during every world flood event. The valley itself was probably a large lake that was a remnant from an ancient world flood at some point. This lake also helped carve the notches and cavities in the rock formations. The reason you felt that the rock was alive is because on a deeper spiritual level you probably already knew that these rocks were once parts of the ancient giant forest that covered all of western NA. I know that many people do not agree with the ancient giant tree theory, but there is a wealth of photo evidence now on the internet that shows us that various mountains look like broken tree remains and of course we can find hundreds of giant tree stumps on google earth if we know where to look. I leave this comment here for the people open minded enough to at least conceive that our planet's history is much richer than we are led to believe. Have a wonderful day and always keep an open mind.
Dude I LOVE your channel! The way you bring desolate places into focus really opens my imagination to a greater breadth of human perspective through time. thank you!!
At 5:18 you mention storing food in there, but at that point u filmed the ceiling and it was black. That's a great indication for ash from fire at the ceiling - veeeery interesting. I think it was a great place for shelter too, the heat goes up, no water can come inside, because the whole caveground is moving up - you found a great place! Watch the ceiling at 11:24 right left behind the head - most parts came off, but the black part....! :) 11:51 what a great watching spot for invaders right in front of your feet :P
I lived 20 miles from this rock structure for 30 years and never went over to look at it. The pictures of what I call petroglyphs, I’m seeing today of this rock on the internet, are in remarkable condition compared to the other hand full of petroglyphs I’ve seen in the area. The native Indians drew their pictures on sandstone which crumbles very easy. I went to the local library which was housed in a single wide trailer and I checked out 3 books on the history of Native American Indians that lived in the area. From what I read, the Indians went over to the missions along the coast where they missions hoped to clothe them and teach them. Unfortunately, disease took a great toll on the Indians. Some of the Indians came back to the valley I lived in and became cowboys. I meant some of the people whose families back in time ran the ranches and one whose great grandparents came in covered wagons. But never meant anyone who claimed to be a descendent of one the Indians in the area.
Those places wouldn't necessarily have been used for long-term habitation. Those caves are much too small for people to live in comfortably, and the shapes aren't very convenient. However, they would have most definitely been used as short-term shelters during harvest season, when the acorns are ripe. Those aren't just mortar holes, they're also leaching holes, so it's common to see lots of them together. The acorns would be crushed to flour, then fresh water would be poured in to draw out the tannic acid. The dark water would be collected and boiled down, and fresh water added. This continued until the acorn meal was sweet. The tannic acid would be boiled down and used to dye cloth and tan hides, which was a LOT nicer than using brains for tanning.
Great to hear it. Sorry they keep coming out so late on the weekends 😂 Ideally I want them to come out Friday so you have all weekend to watch... but man, editing can take a very long time.
@14:47 You can see the life, certain places I have been that had natural waters talked about the eggs having to hatch, reproduce and complete their lufe cycle within 24-48 hours in some instances because the holes dry up sooner or later,and seeing is fairly rare in the desert areas. This is great to see. Thank you. If this is where I believe it is, the lakebed is a remnant of prehistoric Lake Lahontan that covered much of northwestern Nevada during the ice age. It's been slowly drying up for many years, but weather is cyclical & having watched the drying up for over past 20 years, it is good to see some changes showing some rains returning. Death Valley has experienced 2 or more 1,000 year floods in past couple years, just did not get it at the right timing for superbloom to occur. It is pretty miraculous to see the entire Valley in blooms.
I deeply appreciate the depth of love and gratitude that you express for the natural world.That is such good work to share the love of nature with the rest of the world. I have seen you picking up trash to clean areas you venture into... Appreciating your depth of character, which really shows in your great respect for those who came before and your awareness of those who will follow in time. Heartfelt and art-full, you are raising awareness in a time when it is truly needed. Many thanks!
Thank you for showing me these beautiful places that I probably would never been able to see all my life. I am 76 yrs. young, ride a motorcycle with the Christian Motorcyclists Association. I pray the Lord protects you in these amazing adventure that whish I had the chance to see just a couple natural places.
Definitely a lake bottom at one time. We "mankind" are just a spec of dust in time! But the damage we can do during that short time we are here on our home 🌎 is unimaginable😢
I was thinking about that today when I was walking through a parking garage full of gum and trash on the ground. My husband won't even let me burn paper in the fire pit I'm like people are doing way worse than that
Its just incredible to think about that probably hundreds if not thousands of years ago people used to live there. These are literally the ruins of a lost civilization...
Man I’ll never get to see these destinations you film, amazing! Subscribed. Please continue, you must not be afraid of heights, or part goat, so cool with the drone footage too.
What a stunning video. I grew up in San Diego but now live in Hawai'i primarily due to the wetter climate, but seeing areas blanketed with green that I'm so used to being bland beige was amazing, and with standing water even! With those panoramic shots I kept thinking how amazing it would be to mountain bike/camp/explore that entire basin! Wouldn't even need tents with those rock formations. I'm guessing that zipper looking hill range was a fault line. Thanks much for the mini vacation taken vicariously through you and your faithfull furry-friend.
My ex boyfriends mom owns a plot of land that has 4 mortar holes on top of the mountain, just like 8:58. It brought tears to my eyes, viewing out. Looking over the river. Some place in porterville. She's a rancher and keeps a close eye on the property. It's absolutely amazing.
I can't even imagine the tranquility here - it is so far from my reality of everyday life. The birds were magical! I'd so love to experience it tho. And that rock formation looks almost organic - like a giant being or creature had laid to rest then was petrified forever! A stunning place and video. Thank you again.
His drone was not a bird with a camera attached to it's leg as it was tweeting. It was a noisy drone with bird sounds dubbed. I've been there many times & would not be happy to have that POS buzzing above my head for ad$/likes
Those sandstone structures are so unique. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. We can explore vicariously through your vitality fueled, enthusiastic eyes.
you are a gifted videographer and adventurer and I appreciate seeing places I have never even dreamed of! Your amazing dog really adds to your explorations! You gotta love him! I seldom watch t.v. Why would I when I can watch your videos?! Thank you so much!
I have seen these "sea monkeys" (artemia) in similar holes on top of Spanish mountains where they get dessecated under 105 F of heat and a fierce sun for over three-four months every summer. As soon as it rains, they come to life again... to freeze in winter for several weeks or get covered with a thick layer of snow. Nothing seems to bother them. Amazing creatures.
hopefully one day I'll be able to hike through the stunning landscapes north America has to offer. Such beauty and vast landscapes, often very lonely like this one. Imagine there was once a time in which bisons roamed this place. Thousands of big animals covering this valley. Just incredible. I'd love to just sit there and stare into the distance, taking in the silence of this place.
You are an old soul and didn't discover this place by accident! You were meant to find it, to open our eyes. I beleive this is a mudfossil creature. I'm no expert by any means but can recognise a petrified creature when I see one. Thank you so much to going out there and sharing this with us. It makes me so sad to hear what ignorant people have done to these ancient indigenous monuments! They worshiped them for a reason! They were well aware of the ancestors and creatures that came before them, and left marks for those who came after them! Much love and respect to you. Blessed be! ❤😊
Hi! This site is well documented by archaeologists and is a part of a National Monument. That's why he needed a special permit to visit it. You can also go on group tours with a guide. The formation itself was formed from eroding sandstone that was originally deposited by the mouth of a river delta some 20 million years ago. While the shape is peculiar, it is natural. The site is still used by Native American communities for religious practices and they would be the ones to ask about meaning.
He discovering this well known place is like me saying I discovered the Pyramids via google earth. Just a copy of other so-called explorers pulling the wool over the eyes of the gullible public so they can profit via ad $ & likes. What these vids do is crowd out once quiet locations. So tired of the sell outs...
@@martinginsburg7222 I think he means he discovered it for himself! He didn't mean he was the first one to EVER discover it. Meaning, he didn't know such a place could ever exist. He is not stupid. He knew it was already discovered by someone. But it was the first time he saw it. Such negativity in this world. It saddens me. Hurt people just want to hurt people. God Bless you.
We'd love to see a partnership with you as the boots on the ground and Roger Spurr filling in the detailed explanations. Roger has noticed you and is impressed.
Was rather excited when I realized almost instantly where you were. It's been some years since I'd been there, but it's so distinct. Glad you were able to get permission go to in and explore, it's a gorgeous and interesting spot. Beautiful videography!
Wow, it looks melted to me! That large gray stone is so smooth & undulated - like it was either melted or had massive amounts of water flowing around & through it.i wonder how old it really is. Maybe it goes back to the ice age & all the flooding. Keep looking for wierd stuff on Google earth & keep up the good work!
Thought the area looked like some parts of cooler Southern Western Australia in our Winter near the long Indian Ocean and Southern Ocean coastline. Just as open but it would be scrub not grass. Tree species growing protected areas. Lagoons of fresh water behind ancient dunes covered in multiple types of shrubs and low trees. The grass looks like our winter grass. Another comment says the grass in the valley you are exploring was introduced from Spain . We too have isolated rocks in Australia that look like islands . Which they often are, islands and shorelines from ancient seas. Sometimes they are covered in Karri Trees which makes them into an amazing raised temple of life. Really enjoyed the birdsong. And your use of it as voice over.
Sometimes in such sites we should ask ourselves if the ground level was originally lower, and over time, over centuries or millennia, it has filled up with earth or waste. However, excavations carried out by specialized people, by real archaeologists, would be needed. There may also be lower levels completely underground today.
is it just me, or does it sound (at the first location) HOLLOW every time you take steps or knock into something...? not hollow in an echo way, hollow as in what's beneath the surface of the rock isn't totally solid
Your Videos are getting better, This one is excellent, I especially like the close ups of the wild herbs and other wild life/food and will encourage you to include wild flowers when you find them too. Those wind created Caves are incredible are that is definitely evidence of habitation, with the steps and indentations for grinding, plus it’s perfect landfor growing grains. Definitely five stars for this one, looking forward to the next.
Find the most interesting part for me, was in the early drone shots, it shows a straight line ruminating from the mouth of the center of the megalith. In my part of the world, we look at these as “roads” or alignments with celestial objects or events. Some even believe these were for ceremonial use. Be worth exploring it.
This was the best video that i have seen. It told me places all the places i wanted to know and see but could not go or even have the money for. You gave me life.Thank You.
At 13.3, is that a Rock fence? Very interesting show. I've watched several of your Videos. Haven't seen a Single one that I didn't truly fine interesting and enjoyed. I'm in my 80s and shows like yours broadens my knowledge of our World. Thank you!
What I notice is interesting is in the entrance to many of the caves or holes there will be signs of fire on the ceiling indicating they used to have fires near the entrances to ventilate out however in the beginning of the video in the extremely dome like circular structure the whole ceiling is black. This indicates to me that hole in particular was most likely used as an oven.
Right near there was the first place i ever flew a hang glider. I had been there previously, sent there by a local medicine man, to explore the big vulva shaped rock. My new friend had sent me there after seeing a piece of my art. He said the exact same image was on the rock and and that it was ghe symbol of the moon maidens. He told me where to look and I found it and had to agree that it waz the same symbol. He also told me that spot was the ceremonial center of a huge annual inter-tribal get together venue that went back thousands of years. A big part of which, was match making. And the perceived shape of the rock was no accident. Its an abdolute horror what the early newcomers have done to that place 😢
Spectacular video! These are interesting rocks and certainly would have been inhabited, at least seasonally. The cave with the spiders seemed like a kiln or oven? Your drone footage is wonderful.
The behavior of certain people at these sites will haunt them through their miserable lives, they will suffer for any destructive actions. These sites are part of the living spirit of this space. Thanks for showing them.
