A month ago I found ancient steps carved into solid rock. I climbed them. What I found at the top, and in the canyon as a whole, was extraordinary. I returned during the summer solstice event, to see if the towers might be ancient astronomical markers. What I discovered deepened the mystery.

There is an app you can get for iPhone, probably android too, called The Photographers Ephemeris. This lets you put a pin on a map anywhere on Earth, for any time, day or night, that lets you see how the light will fall on the land. Not as exciting as seeing it in person, but could help you discover where those shadows fall. Would maybe help you collect beta for your trips as well pal

I live in the four corners area and even have approx. 3 acres of Anasazi ruins on my property. I have visited many ancient ruin locations and have the following questions: 1. I have visited many "granaries" but have never seen a corn cob, or vegetable matter in one of these locations. I have never found pots, baskets nor other storage vessels either. I question whether these unique "granaries" were actually for storing food. Could they be like a religious location like a sipapu or kiva? I have found lots of corn cobs in living locations however I am at a loss as to why I have never seen anything which would indicate these were granaries. 2. Has anyone ever thought about using AI to decipher petroglyphs. I have seen similar petroglyphs in Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. AI has been used to decipher ancient languages and with the tremendous number of petroglyphs available to study, AI could definitely be helpful. Petroglyphs are similar to the Chinese language (writing) whereby an inscription has meaning, not just a letter in an alphabet. AI has the ability to determine meaning.

so i know what these mean! i know exactly what they are trying to say! 2:11 see these three formations? so in the vide he took down there where two separate petroglyphs. there was one with three figures but none of them looked human and two were obviously the formations one even has a goat right next to it but it’s off to the right of its head and there was also a star and a tribal symbol. but there was also another petroglyph which was very similar but from a different angle like it was higher up staring straight across at them and the third figure was definitely a human…. well that gives it all away right there because it was telling him about the ledge above him, he climbed up there in that video but he didn’t even notice it from the ground until he was flying his drone back towards himself from the formations. because the petroglyph depicted a human and not just a figure it means that it represents YOU or the person reading it and it’s telling them to climb the ledge and look at the formation to get a clear view because they are significant. the other petroglyph doesn’t depict any humans so the figure in front represents a third rock formation 2:11 right there! the goat is off to the side to represent that it is from another angle. the star is an abstract arrow telling him where to go like it is in motion and not a permanent object so it has to be the path or road but it is in code so as to not be too obvious what it means and then the tribal symbol is to let the reader know that it’s their form of communication so if you’re that tribe then you know how to read it. from this point of view 2:11 up on the flat lands you see a valley and a mountain range curving off to the right exactly how the shooting star did on the petroglyph so that is the path out of there. that it what it means! at the base of it he sees a goat and a figure but the goat is on the left so if he went to the left side of it then that formation would be on the left so it is telling him to go that way…. i cannot for the life of me get this guys attention though i even commented a lot on the original video and he never saw it. if it’s not exactly human then it represents the surrounding landmarks. i’ve known for over a week already and i can’t get hold of him and he even went back to try to figure it out which is really disappointing. this must have been an ancient corridor and these are road signs but they didn’t want other tribes to follow them so it is all in code. but if you already know the code then it is very obvious what it means

@@skipperclinton1087 sorry i tried to get his attention on the last video and he never saw it and then i got the notification right when he uploaded this video today so i tried everything to get his attention because he even says in this video that he’s going back a third time so i made a comment and then i commented ten times on my own comment and liked all of my own comments to try to move my comment upwards in relevance so he would see it and some chode comments “moderators suck” and got 200 likes and within minutes my comment got pushed way down so i put it on his own comment which he pinned to the top there’s already 30 other comments in there so then i started going to all the top comments to ask people to like my comment so he would see it and then a couple hours later there’s already different top comments so one guy had a theory so i wrote a new comment and then i just copied and pasted it back to the top comments so hopefully some way he will see it because he is going to go back and he thinks it has something to do with the solace or something he’s completely missing the message. but yes i am commenting a lot on this post because i want him to see it but his last video i basically did the same thing and it got taken down and he even went back there and never saw my post which is really disappointing and i am pretty’s sure i’m onto something that he could further validate and it may lead to other discoveries. i suffer from salt deprivation right so if i go out in the heat i’m likely to have a stroke or a seizure or an aneurysm so o want to pass my idea onto someone if their already willing to do the footwork in order to find out. i think the whole canyon was a passage corridor and the shelter ruins were made for travelers and the petroglyphs are all road signs in code so that their tribe could pass through there safely and that there’s even an ancient road out of there with probably other ruins or things of interest.

Hey DD, I'm a full blooded Navajo addicted to your channel. When we were little kids in canyons like the GC. My family live where they're canyons in NM. It brings back memories of the fun & sun times we had exploring in caves& finding art on the rocks from our ancestors. You have an awesome channel. I can't wait to hook your channel onto my bigger TV screen. Keep up the Good work. I will join your Patreon channel too! This demonitizing is just wrong. I don't see anything wrong with your video. Plus, that was a fine climb with foot guides on the arch climbing footage. We did not see that extremely dangerous at all. I'm sure all the Navajo tribal members would agree with me. I love your camping endeavors on the rocks. We loved sleeping on those rock canyons too.

While the summer solstice is an important solar marker, if you have time to go back during the autumnal equinox, you might find more interesting shadows in that canyon. Another possibility is trying to align dates of known comets passing overhead. We've created so much light pollution that we tend to forget that the ancients had a perfect view of the milky way.
@Elf_Hour
@Elf_Hour 10 дней назад
True, the Equinox would be a good time to double-back) But I must point out, the problem with the Equinox is that it is 'fuzzy'. Solstices are the same for everyone globally, regardless of location. What is currently called the 'Equinox' is a bit of an oversight; it is better referred to as the Fall or Spring 'Quarter'. The Equinox is much bigger than just one day; it is an amazing thing and actually takes about 50 days to sweep the Earth. By 'equinox' I mean when night and day are of equal length. When it actually occurs depends on location, Longitude and Latitude. Latitude determines which day it occurs while Longitude affects AM or PM. These variations make it 'fuzzy'. It would be cool to find when it occurs for this location in the canyon and see if that's the day the ancients observed, too)

I love your videos. They are so interesting and very informative, and as an explorer and hiker myself, I really appreciate how hard it is to do what you do. I think it is sad that RU-vid blocked that video as it shows what the ancient peoples had to do to climb it. I had watched it before they blocked it and I had known from your videos that you lead guided tours for a living so you are a professional climber and therefore know what you are doing, and so I never said to myself, "I think I will go climb those stairs." You also showed the difficulty and how careful you needed to be. You also do not give information as to the locations to protect the environment and ruins from stupid people. Therefore, they should not have blocked it.

The petroglyph is made significantly more interesting based on the fact that it is not just a long horn, but one standing a short distance from a pillar. Just as the rock formation appears to be above. To my mind, it links the two and your hypothesis fairly conclusively.

I have visited the of ... where the Colorado river cared ...oh yes, Grand Canyon. I have visited a few National Parks. I am now nestled in East Tennessee, retired & no longer caring for others. I have children & grandchildren nearby. Your desert content is the best way, by far, to stop & visit & ponder... for me. I appreciate your physical skills and goal setting with accomplished goals for each trip. Thank you for your time, energy, intelligence, and willingness to share with us.

The verticals lines on the rock remind me of some I saw in a small cave-alcove many years ago when I used to go out exploring. The lines in the cave I saw were like a calendar. The sun would hit the vertical line for a particular day. As the sun moved a little each day, the sun would touch a different line. There was a circle above one line which ended up being for the summer solstice. So, if the vertical lines on the wall are not from erosion, they may be a type of calendar marking the day. You would have to see where the sunshine touches each sunrise to see if that is the case. Thank you for taking us along! 👍👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😀💕🍀🌸

They didn’t use names of roads or highway numbers, they would say turn left at the rock that looks like this and go straight until see a rock that looks like that and turn left. It was all about the rocks as being markers and directions being off of the rock in question.

So hopefully, we will see you back there around the 21st of September :) I have no words as to why RU-vid needs to protect us from you while I can still watch horrific shorts of people getting knocked down in traffic accidents! You seem to be a highly responsible person with great respect for the desert, its dangers, and its history as well as your own safety. Keep them coming! If you are ever in Australia, I'm pretty sure we can find you some interesting desert with ancient rock art - and, even better, a still living culture that will explain their significance to you.

so i know what these mean! i know exactly what they are trying to say! 2:11 see these three formations? so in the vide he took down there where two separate petroglyphs. there was one with three figures but none of them looked human and two were obviously the formations one even has a goat right next to it but it’s off to the right of its head and there was also a star and a tribal symbol. but there was also another petroglyph which was very similar but from a different angle like it was higher up staring straight across at them and the third figure was definitely a human…. well that gives it all away right there because it was telling him about the ledge above him, he climbed up there in that video but he didn’t even notice it from the ground until he was flying his drone back towards himself from the formations. because the petroglyph depicted a human and not just a figure it means that it represents YOU or the person reading it and it’s telling them to climb the ledge and look at the formation to get a clear view because they are significant. the other petroglyph doesn’t depict any humans so the figure in front represents a third rock formation 2:11 right there! the goat is off to the side to represent that it is from another angle. the star is an abstract arrow telling him where to go like it is in motion and not a permanent object so it has to be the path or road but it is in code so as to not be too obvious what it means and then the tribal symbol is to let the reader know that it’s their form of communication so if you’re that tribe then you know how to read it. from this point of view 2:11 up on the flat lands you see a valley and a mountain range curving off to the right exactly how the shooting star did on the petroglyph so that is the path out of there. that it what it means! at the base of it he sees a goat and a figure but the goat is on the left so if he went to the left side of it then that formation would be on the left so it is telling him to go that way…. i cannot for the life of me get this guys attention though i even commented a lot on the original video and he never saw it. if it’s not exactly human then it represents the surrounding landmarks. i’ve known for over a week already and i can’t get hold of him and he even went back to try to figure it out which is really disappointing. this must have been an ancient corridor and these are road signs but they didn’t want other tribes to follow them so it is all in code. but if you already know the code then it is very obvious what it means

Number 1: I find this one of best channels on You Tube. No.2: I can't believe You Tube would limit any of your content. Granted...you're a little crazy...but obviously an experienced canyoneer. Watched you climbing into the slot canyon with your wife. Good job. And the curiosity and fearlessness is what makes it a great adventure and educational. No.3: I'm not one to subscribe to "Ancient Aliens" and the like on a regular basis but many of the petroglyphs and drawings do seem to depict strange things (beings) 🤔. No.4: Curious why many structures (houses) were built sometimes impossibly high? Lions, tigers and bears? Or maybe scary cannabalist tribes. No.4: Great job! Best show on RU-vid. The view at 6:45 is ridiculously incredible! Great work! Keep it up. Thank you.

@@Tonhaoreal what i think it is a corridor that a tribe used to travel through the canyon but they didn’t want people following them so the made it in code and that the structures are temporary housing for travelers and that the petroglyphs point to an ancient road out of there and there may even be other ruins or things left behind along that road. i know i’m commenting a lot on here but he didn’t see my comments on the first video and he even went back to try to figure it out and he even says that he is going back again a third time so i want him to see my post so he can validate it and possibly make other discoveries. nothing i do will make my posts relevant enough for him to see it. it may have been a planned escape route for their tribe or something like that a safe passage to somewhere else.
@cameronchicken8439
@cameronchicken8439 10 дней назад
but i’m pretty sure i cracked at least part of the code: everything had to do with the positioning of the characters and anything not human is referring to the landscape. the star is an abstract arrow pointing the way out and the three figures are the rock formations when they line up like in the petroglyph there’s a mountain range and valley in the background which curves around to the right just like the star in the petroglyphs so i believe that it is the path out of there and that he will find more things along that road
@cameronchicken8439
@cameronchicken8439 10 дней назад
like the human figure in the petroglyph from the last video was directing him to climb the ledge. the goat petroglyph at the base of the formation shows the goat on the left so if he continues around the other side the goat would in fact be on the left so it’s telling him to go that way. the three figures in the other petroglyph are not human so it suggests a third formation. behind the three formations you see right at 2:11 there’s a valley shaped like the star, it’s telling him to follow that valley…. it’s very obvious once you figure it out
