I found a Maximum Security Ancient Ruin using Google Earth

I heard a story about an ancient Native American ruin that was located across a massive stone bridge, and surrounded by hundred foot cliffs. A real life "Island in the Sky." It almost sounded too fantastic to be real.
This story, and a picture on the internet, lead me down a rabbit hole and many hours scouring Google Earth..
After a long search, I finally found it, and we embarked on a long hike to see for myself if it was truly as incredible as I had heard.
When I saw this place in person finally, I was blown away by the ancient civilization that must have built this, and the lengths these people went to keep themselves safe from danger.
But I was left wondering, what would drive humans to such extreme lengths? and what would there life be like living in this incredible fortress?
Thanks for watching this video, and if anyone has any sort of ideas as to what they were protecting themselves from, and any other feedback for this video, I would love to hear from you in the comments.
Stay tuned for a lot more like this!

@@CaptAxolotl it's pretty fucking weird. "I searched thousands of places on Google Earth, and then by a miracle i found it, an unknown place without a name that's actually called the Citadel, so i had to get my brothers special over landing truck with 6 wheel drive and high clearance. We finally took a highway to a state maintained trail head and paid two bucks each to walk 4 miles. But we had to bring OUR OWN SNACKS. The worst part was we had to pay 15 people not to hike so we could be alone there."

The 'Anasazi' did not disappear, they simply moved, probably due to the great drought and the social dislocation and internecine raiding for food that resulted. They live on now in the contemporary Pueblos of Arizona and New Mexico. Hence their preference ( and the preference of contemporary archaeologists) for the term 'Ancestral Puebloans' rather than 'Anasazi' which is a Navajo word meaning 'enemy ancestors'. I know this because I am married to a Hopi woman whose genetic profile traces her genes back to Chaco Canyon. She and I thank you for your respect while visiting this site which is sacred to it's descendants. Great video!

@@crazycheii The term Anasazi was used because it was the word used by Diné people when describing Ancestral Puebloan sites, i.e. "Anasazi bi ghan". (Pardon the spelling) So it wasn't the anthropologists and archaeologists who, "wrongfully termed the ancestral puebloans as Anasazi". The ancestral Puebloans are by definition also Anasazi/people different than Diné and these Anasazi/Ancestral Puebloan's descendants do live on in the contemporary Pueblo villages.

Most likely a grain storage site. Really only one small room with signs of "habitation" (fire). Likely just one or two "residents" protecting stored crops. Incredible site, though. Youcould easily reach out to nearby tribal historians and find out for sure, but looks to be less than 1000 years old, so good chance community memory carries stories about this site.

Logic would want they build some water rentention with stone and clay at the bottom but may they had a source or river passing by, who know. for food maybe the region was more populated by animal at this time, they could also have made some terasse farm to retain water and nutriment ( some cliff side look too clean to be only erosion) Look like there is a path from bottom to almost the top probably with the last section being jointed by some sort of scafold or rope to avoid the bridge lenght , actualy the cliff look more reworked than the bridge part probably to slow down visitor approach @@marjoriegarner5369

The biggest threat to "native" Americans was each other. They were Mongolian. Not native to America. They originally came over to North America when there was a land bridge connecting eastern Europe to America. Those aren't "well built". The Roman Empire existed at the same time as those were being built. "Native" Americans were not "incredible". They were savages who were too busy killing each other and worse, to progress in the slightest. They hadn't even domesticated horses before we taught them to.

Given the signs of a huge fire being constantly lit at the end of the peninsula, this wasn't just a 'fortress home'. This was a signal station. It probably provided navigation references for every native band, tribe and family within at least fifty miles of it. The smoke would be visible for leagues in the day and the fire still visible for dozens of miles at night. Given how many people it would be vital for, it makes sense for it to be so heavily defended.

Thanks for a great video! I found that spot on google earth myself, probably 15 years ago. Back then, there was a different set of photographs on google earth. While planning a trip to see the more popular ruins nearby, I clicked on a set of photos on that long peninsula. The photos drew me in, and they included the name of the site. My only mystery was finding the trail to reach it, but that turned out to be obvious, since it shares a trailhead with the better known sites nearby. A questio at the ranger station confirmed my guess about the trailhead. It is a simply amazing location! Thanks for the drone footage. It gives a cool perspective I didn't get to experience first hand when I visited! One thing you may have missed is the wooden pegs on the interior wall of one of the rooms. It looks like they jammed sticks into the rocks to function like coat hooks, and those wooden sticks have survived a thousand years in the dry Utah air. there were a couple on exterior walls as well, and your footage shows one, though you didn't mention it. As we were leaving the peninsula, we came across three other visitors who were headed out to the site. They were all over 80 years old! Those were three very healthy, adventurous octogenarians! It seems regular hiking is good for your health! They said they had been hiking these canyons for decades.

@@JvariW Different groups have different reasons for being secretive about the exact locations of native American ruins. Those of us who explore these sites are secretive because we've seen so many sites degrade when they become too well known, and too many people begin to visit there. Many of the sites with scattered pot sherds and corn cobs a decade ago are now stripped bare, as people carry off the very archaeological resources that attracted them to visit in the first place. Instead, we find sites littered with trash now, instead of artifacts. We find that sites have been desecrated in recent years, as selfish visitors dig up grave sites and storage cysts, looking for artifacts to steal. We also come across people who have exceeded their skills, and need rescuing. I consider it my duty as a human to help my fellowman when I find someone in need. But it screws up my own vacation plans when I spend my day helping someone out of a canyon they did not have the skills and gear to enter in the first place. I have to shorten my own hikes when I give my water to somebody who did not take enough of their own, and found themselves desperately dehydrated. I don't want to encourage visits to places like this, on a public forum, because it will lure people into visiting a place that is simply too dangerous to visit for most of the people who watch youtube videos. Hiking in southern Utah requires skills, knowledge and fitness that too many people simply do not possess. Too many people think that the GPS maps on their phones will guide them. GPS simply doesn't work in canyons with no cell service, or when your phone battery is dead from "searching for service" for hours. The Bureau of Land Management doesn't encourage visits to most of the ruins in southern Utah for the same reason: they don't have the staff or funding to make remote sites safe for visits by the general public, nor to protect the sites from thieves. Their resources are already stretched too thin policing the sites that are well known and easily reached.

Whilst walking through the valleys, he saw several dozens of these ancient buildings scattered across the sides of the cliffs. He explored many and found ancient hand paintings on walls, old hay, pottery, and even holes that would've been sealed up to preserve food. He found a dried up piece of corn in one of them. It was really fascinating and it's so cool to see other people cover these ancient civilizations.

They would have cooked and done other things outdoors when possible, and retired indoors to do those things when they needed to get out of the wind and the weather. I would say that food would’ve been taken to this place over a period of time and gradually was built up for emergencies and times of need. These were the original preppers

Nice video. Great place to explore. Ones imagination goes wild thinking about the generational lives who habitated this island in the sky. This ancient place was seen by American explores a while back, but that does not take away from a modern day adventurers find. They built such obviously defensive habitations and occupied them for several centuries. An unexplained mystery about this ruin ,and many others scattered across the region, who were they defending themselves from? Certainly not bears, wolves or cats. What people? Nomads? Aztecs? Some suggest this was not a very peaceable kingdom. Defense was from the predator neighbors. Thats the way this culture was. Something to think about.
@tedpreston4155
@tedpreston4155 3 месяца назад
The people who built these homes lived in the area for centuries, but for most of that time, they lived in parts of the mesa that were more easily accessible. It was in their final decades in the area that they started building in these sites on the canyon walls, in more easily defended locations. That change was brought about by necessity: a decades-long drought drastically reduced the food supply. The residents started killing their neighbors to steal their food. During those drought years, both the Ancestral Puebloans and the Fremont culture to their north adapted to the food shortage by changing the way they built their homes, and by building food storage granaries high on the canyon walls to reduce theft. The drought never let up, though, and they abandoned Cedar Mesa, and most of the rest of the area after a few decades of drought.

I'm a high school teacher. I know this isn't the point of this video, but I can't help imagining this guy's coming up to the teacher's desk, proposing his young mind ideas about what "probably" happened with certain lost people, sounding like a pro in his own mind, and then the teacher's deciding not to mention anything she was about to say because of this guy's energy and almost unaware (of his left-behind brother) confidence. And his feeling complete (in his abilities) through life, without much honest input from others, because it's not worth trying to add any of your ideas to that kind of energy. After all, it's all good energy, so why tame such self-sufficiency? He even bounces delightedly in self-assurance as he walks! I'm afraid it's how people with pronounced energy (but personal, pigeon-holed theories) end up as experts who decry others' ideas. Not saying he's wrong about anything at all. But if he were, there'd be no stopping his next-level certainty as he rolls over a seasoned colleague who was just about to say something smart and more accurate (who goes home discouraged). *Private* school kid, 100%. At the teacher's desk, 100%. Getting A's for his energy level and eagerness (not eagerness to hear others but eagerness to tell you he gets it), 100%. Dunning-Kruger, 50%. Listening to a soft wife, 13%. Having said all of that, I'm grateful for his type of personality, who will hike so far and do what I can't do as an elderly person...and then share it with me. My gratitude for the adventure, off the chart. I'll subscribe. I'm old enough to know my comment won't phase his self-assurance or his ability to be promoted (even as others drive him wherever he needs to go...and get left behind as soon as he's brought to his destination). I'm not writing this to be mean. I'm writing this to restore a bit of personal calibration to his brother or future self-doubting colleague (or wife in 10 years). In the meant time, just trust this elderly teacher's intuition. I hope he stays safe. Such self-assurance, combined with that bouncy-fast gait on such steep, icy rocks is scary dangerous--metaphorically and actually.

I don't think this is as defensive from people as you believe, you're trapped out there. You mentioned having to carry all the food and water to that location, that's a lot of work so I doubt they did, they're vulnerable there, an enemy could easily just block them off and starve them out. This seems like a cool place to congregate, observational, a good communication point with fires, defendable from animals, but not really a place to hide from people or fight them, there's no escape. This to me is more of a peaceful outpost of a nearby community but that's just my untrained opinion.

Most likely it was not a permanent dwelling. It was a temporary emergency, shelter, or dwelling place. They would’ve kept food and water supplies there. Think of it as an emergency shelter. They would’ve had defensive walls staggered so that anyone approaching would have to take a zigzag approach to get through the walls, giving the defenders a chance to stop them if needed. They could’ve easily connected those walls and you saw the bypass where you would simply slide down one side of the cliff and go around the wall and climb up the other side. They were clever. There were structures like this all over North America, once upon a time. Unfortunately, a lot of them have been destroyed over the last 200 years by property owners, farmers, and unfortunately, the government. I know we’re quite a few places are that have walls of earth or rocks that were defensive and others that were ceremonial. You have a lot of places up in Canada as well. Just ask the Aneshnaabe.

Amazing video! I love how you let us just listen to the wind and footsteps, so we can feel more like what it's like to be there!

This is an absolutely amazing gift to the masses. Thank you for this footage. Although it doesn’t look more than a few hundred years old, it’s still amazing. Imagine even farther back, when there was flowing water and marine life. Edit: 7:42 - I wish you had looked for any art on those ceilings. Without entering of course.

Wow awesome video buddy.Im from Pecos NM and I love to explore around my neighborhood where I live.We have an Indian pueblo about a mile away from my house.When I was young ,an uncle and a cousin and me were always walking around in this area.We used to take care of my grandfather's goats.And in those days , not many people used to live around here.Lots of stories of this pueblo.They used to have a 20 or 30 ft.long rattle snake in a pit where the Indians used to sacrifice babys to their gods.Pretty crazy stuff in those days.So here I am in my 70s.Watching your videos of how other natives used to live.My grandparents have mixed blood of Apaches.So I'm there ,proud to have native American blood .Great videos thanks.

Mate, gotta say, you post some amazing videos. The people who built those structures, and lived there, must have had so much knowledge.

It can be an observation point, also. And an excellent point for signalling, defence. Similar to small castles on hills, mountains in Austria.

Just a big thank you. This is something that the mega majority of us will never be able to experience of our own accord. Yet you are wonderful and bring it to us in a quality fashion explaining video editing and observing the natures of our history. Thank you so very much. What a great channel. I hope to succeed in making megabux brother.
