I found these Giant Holes on a Cliff on Google Earth

A series of four huge, perfectly symmetrical holes in the ground were discovered using Google Earth. These have puzzled me for several years, and I have often wondered if there was any logical explanation for how they came to exist.
I needed to find an answer, so I took off for this remote landscape and hiked into the Mars - like geology, where the truth was revealed to me.
I was shocked at what I discovered....
For all the other Star Wars fans out there- I was honestly amazed at how similar this was to the "Sarlacc Pit" from Tatooine.
Thanks for watching this video, and if anyone has any sort of geologic expertise that can help me understand how these amazing landforms came to be created, I would love to hear from you in the comments.
Stay tuned for a lot more like this!

Frank who does exploring abandoned mines up in BC actually lost his similar looking dog when it ran ahead of him and fell down a deep mineshaft. Fell several hundred feet to it's death and he could not get to it. Sad because many viewers warned in earlier episodes that he should not be taking the dog underground. Also, the water can be very toxic with heavy metals and cadmium... and they will drink it (kidney failure risk). However in this desert pothole video the visibility is much better and it looks like the rock has plenty traction being rough grippy & not a slippery surface.

@pauldickman4379 4 месяца назад

"The holes in the sandstone, caused by a combination of weathering and erosion, are called 'tafoni.' They can be formed in different ways, but often when you see straight lines of holes like the ones pictured here it's because that particular layer of sandstone wasn't cemented together as tightly over the years. The weaker layers allow water to flow through and dissolve more of the rock, resulting in holes and hollow pockets." copy pasted from valley of fire state park website

@@the_pov_channel As others note here, the layers of rock are different, but it's not erosion at play. It is rocks dissolving unequally where pools of water form.

Only problem with this theory is that there weren't any of these eroding stones left at the bottom. I would imagine they would still remain, as sandstone would surely erode away much faster than the circular stone. Perhaps this is a result of the Glacial melt.

Those are literally water worn, there are similar looking examples in limestone in the banks of rivers here in the UK but the biggest ones are only maybe 5feet across. the water gets in to a crack or slight depression and starts to turn, then gravel accumulates and gets spun round by the water slowly grinding the walls away.... All of those dinks and divots are just places where gravel fell out of the silt as the hole wore away.

You can find these same formations around niagara falls. Once you get some sand in hole caused by water erosion, the sand can swirl around without being pushed out by water as its heavier. The hole gradually gets wider and deeper and more larger rocks get swept inside by water and grind away, mostly at the bottom because rocks sink.

There used to be a massive Lake somewhere by this place. It was probably being fed by Springs and Rivers etc.. all of that was probably dammed up by a glacier Leftover from the last ice age. One day the Glacier Dam gave way. It was holding back the water of the lake that may have been 200- 300+ ft deep. We are talking about a lake bigger than the Great Lakes in North America. When it burst free, it cut holes in the ground from high pressure & it also created the landscape of that area.

The amount of voltage required to do this is significantly higher than what lighting can deliver, and it would have turned into glass if it happened that quickly. I think it's water erosion, going down through cracks in the rock like they do in glaciers, although over a much longer timeframe. This also fits with the dried mud soil found in the bottoms of each of them. You can see potential new holes forming in layers on the mountainside above them.

Those holes are formed when once there was a large river there which picks up stones when in flood, some of those stones end up in small holes and the flow of the water rolls the stones around in the hole creating a bowl and leaving marbles that were once the stones.

These are potholes, albeit very big ones. They're formed by a biofilm that slowly eats the rock, and also makes the hole able to hold water. After a rain, it's common to find ponds in these holes that contain brine shrimp (sea monkeys). The ones I've seen aren't quite as big as this, but they were also in granite, so perhaps it takes longer for the biofilm to eat away at it.

They are air bubbles, all that rock was once mud in a giant flood, it was must have been an extremely fast and massive flood of water and mud to capture so much air below the surface. Over time the mud settled around the air bubbles and turned to stone. The air remained until erosion liberated it. Who knows how long ago this flood happened but one thing is certain, it must have been devastating.

@kryptofly 6 месяцев назад

I remember seeing a special on PBS about Niagara Falls, and they went to an old area that it had flowed over hundreds if not thousands of years ago. Same type of formation. But in the holes were hundreds of perfectly round stones, left high and dry. When Niagara was in that area, the stones were spun by the water in depressions until they carved the hole. Once Niagara moved on elsewhere, the holes and the stones were left behind. Something like this might have happened here. There might be stones under the dirt at the bottom. There wouldn’t need to be very many to carve it….

Nope. Cylindrical cavities are caused by lightning strikes attracted by the concentrated negative ions produced by falling water. Your theory makes sense but is outdated as lightning has been observed instantaneously creating them many times.

@@DrewishBear Do you believe in flat earth? Lightning does not make holes like this. Highschool classes will tell you that lightning erosion looks like fissures and broken boulders. It super-heats water in rock into steam and blasts it apart. This definitely isn't lightning.

Thought I heard the Star Wars cantina for a sec, should have looked around a bit more. My highly unqualified guess is possible cavitation from Deluge runoff. Continents simultaneously rising while seabed's formed / sank would cause the type of runoff that would easily make those holes, Grand Canyon, the "Missoula flood," and everything else we see. Anyways, beautiful place, thank you for sharing!

@stevesyverson8625 4 месяца назад

I like everything that you said! Missoula Flood and cavitation from water flow alone without erosional scouring. Back in the good old days of 1983 when the Colorado River overflowed the spillways of both dams containing Lake Powell and Lake Meade. There was massive damage to all spillways and intensive repairs of 30’ deep in both dams. All it takes is air bubbles to destroy concrete and steel. Cavitation! Thanks my friend

We have similar holes on some mountains in Serbia they are locally called "vrtace" and the ones I've seen looked like giant crates around 15-20 meters across. I have no idea if these are connected and the ground is a mix of stone and sand , some hypothesis say that they are formed by having giant rocks crack underground where there was a pocket of air and the whole thing basically collapses and formed a visible hole on top

It's actuate opposite of what you thought the holes are formed by the rocks, which at some point in ancient history the area you are in was under water (a river most likely). The swirling motion of the currents made the rocks spin and then became lodged in small holes that you saw. But the same principle appto the larger holes. Thanks for all you show us 👍

@reali10044 6 месяцев назад

Check out Graham Hancock's explorations of the channel scablands and the coulees in Washington, and Idaho. He goes into the science and geology and shows just how big the water flows were. He also goes into how the official story was that this took place over millions of years but most likely took place all at once only 13,000 years ago at the end of the Younger Dryas. The holes are caused by eddy currents and are a common feature on streams and rivers that you can find today, albeit at much smaller scale.

The reason is is my backpack comes off goes over a cliff I get separated from it or even if it’s 20 feet away but I have a broken back and can’t move, the beacons gonna be do me no good.
