Petrified Forest National Park 

If you're looking for more inspiration: video.gotraveler.com/

It sucks and boring af... plus the history (his story) of the place is all bs..

Tulsatom Bob I was that park ranger. Glad you had fun

Govt. doesnt want anyone testing them. You cannot know the truth....

Petrified giant tree and the flood.

It's amazing what you can find in national parks.

so beautiful

lol

Aliens!

The trees were buried, petrified, and finally, due to stresses on the delicate crystalline structure, fractured into pieces.

DottoRox, I believe the trees were one petrified log and the earth was uplifted or eroded and the ground supporting these heavy stones became uneven breaking the logs apart. Since they were stone and no longer wood, they broke like they were sawed.

Over time, the logs turned into a crystalline structure through the petrification process. So, with minerals, or anything that has a crystalline structure, we have what is called "cleavage". Basically, cleavage describes how a mineral breaks apart from itself. Depending on the crystalline structure, minerals will break along one plane naturally, or even multiple planes. The structure is weakest along those points...a good example is mica, you can pull that apart like sheets of paper. Same thing is going on here, except tectonic activity, people and time are doing the breaking. Would love to have seen this before people discovered it lol

They were trees. So much has been hidden from us

@@littlegreenfrogfromkekista5600 what has been hidden?

I agree. Tree branches where’s the volcano lol

You'll have to add it to your list. There's so much out there to discover.

GoTraveler America is full of great natural vistas

It's there pass it every day

Petrified giant trees are worldwide. And also. The flood.

Joshua Quaid Go to the El lote grill in Sedona why you are at it!!

me too go!

What's on your 2020 travel list?

Really? How much does it cost? Your low expectations of people are what lead to socialism.

It's only $20 dollars to enter this park. The gift shop is amazing having buffalo jerky, natural soaps that smell wonderful, different types of minerals that range in various colors and a cafe with a jukebox . I wanted to stay all day at this park and I am sure the money supports the Navajo people that work there. They were very helpful.

Road trip with Bernie.

Road tripping across the US isn’t that expensive.

@@philherber6643 dear he talks about people who live in other parts of the world 🤦

aliens

People also tried to exploit them in the mid to late 19th century to the time it was declared a national park

@@rawtrout3402 i mean absolutely no disrespect but the mathematical odds that shifting sands would result in these petrified logs "spliting" across/against the grain (in obvious cross cuts), into closely similar lengths many times over is at best ignorant of common sense and more accurate , laughable. I will be the first to admit i don't have the answer regarding how they ended up in these short unnatural sections but I'm willing to bet my last Dollar that mother nature isn't the to blame here. Humans would be at the top of my list and shifting sands below the bottom.

Charles Hair u ever dropped anything made of glass?

Connor McLernon that seems plausible

@@kushalaluru9552 bullshit

Yeah ‘they’ r hiding something. Its a conspiracy. Aliens? Illuminati?

They're hiding something.... So they made a national park and invited people to come visit. Brilliant hiding strategy!

Maybe, if tree trunks are made out of magma. 😉

It's definitely an ancient tree stump. Any other explanation is absolute lunacy.

Petrified trees and plateaus are not made of the same materials.

@@jamisojo yep

Most definitely, an left of the park on google earth is a forest of the Giant Trees …. But only the stumps 🤫

@@jamisojo Is not the same material once it petrifies...

Who cut the threes?

The ones you can see are tree trunks.

Enjoy, Jeremy!

I couldn't tell then. They were everywhere.

He doesnt exist No, but it wouldnt make sense neither because arizona is over here and egypt is wayyy tf over there If your talking about the one in the video, thats from a modern indian painter

@@tbm8251 excellent concise answers sir. 😁👍

Dnice901 - - lol! You've just summed up every alternative thought video I watched last night (There are no forests, silicone trees, flat earth, etc..)

The trees fell in a swamp which laid conditions for them to not rot (no oxygen) and were slowly mineralized. The swamp then drained. Geesh.

Dnice901 Moron

The no-fly zones you refer to do not exist. And you can't have anything past the north or south pole, because that is a single point in a theoretical sphere shaped grid system. If you go north toward the north pole, you will be heading south the minute you cross it.

Tree-rings are not saw marks.

@@jamisojo that's correct, tree rings are not saw marks, and marks are a tell of what blade was used. It was not a solid reciprocating tool in this case. (Screenshot and enlarge to see what I mean) Plus wood doesn't naturally separate itself in this manor

You brought up a good point and made me look it up online. This is what I found. Idk if it’s true but this is the reason they give for it on websites about the park But why do so many of the logs appear "cut"? It has to do with how they got to their present location, Parker says: "About 60 million years ago, forces of geology started the uplift of the Colorado Plateau. This area went from deeply buried to being uncovered and raised more than 1 mile above sea level. As a high point, it is continuously eroding away, exposing old rocks and their fossils, such as the petrified logs from the Triassic." How Did Those Petrified Logs Get 'Cut'? Photo: Patrick Fuchs | Petrified Forest National Park So the movement and erosion of the land is what caused the logs to break. And the inner surfaces where they've broken are flat because quartz doesn't break neatly across its crystal faces, so instead it snaps across the log's shortest area across - sort of like when you snap a piece of chalk, Parker says. "These logs are pure quartz, and to cut them would require a diamond saw," he adds. "Rock shops use these saws to cut log portions and polish them for sale," but here at Petrified Forest, this has happened naturally over very long periods of time."

Yes. Some of us are adults and didn't expect a standing forest. 😉 The saw cut people ate too many paint chips as children.

If the log house was petrified in the time of the indians mayb its not that old?

I don't think trees were made out of magma.

@@jamisojo ok, there are articles on facebook going around why the angels cut down all them giant trees was because so that the giant Nephilims can't climb up the giant trees to escape the great flood.

+Steve Apodaca wtf? are you serious? Physics doesn't change because you have a learning deficiency. They're contrails made of water vapor.

Yes; the gullibility of some people.......

Steve Apodaca Chem trails? LOL! 😂😂😂

Nick Sothep they arent cut, they are broken, the natura disposition of wood cells is like microscopic bricks, once cristalized they lose their elastic properties so they just break without splintering

That's not a correct statement. Do you have any experimental, or other data to show this is so? The "splintering" is the effect of the cellulose in the tree fibres. These cellulose acts as a type of balloon, or maybe a hose is a better analogy, where once filled with water and nutrients is a very strong shape. As the cellulose breaks, it breaks unevenly across the cross section of the sample. Cellulose doesn't act as a "brick".

Excuse him, he is only repeating the excuse modern geologist gave to get rid of the actual enigma, which is one: who the hell sliced them? And two: how did they really turn into precious and semi precious stones? cause the official "fossil making" explanation makes absolutely zero sense, specially in this case.

Looks like Velikovsky was right. Massive electrical discharges from other planets or comets. The entire area was petrified with the dunes deposited around it very quickly by electrical currents and ionic super sonic winds called "rivers of fire." They don't understand how it was done so they made up the story about how the trees were petrified under water and then were deposited back onto the land. How did the logs get cut up like firewood? Looks like someone was cutting it to use as firewood right before they got electrically petrified.

1) They aren't perfectly cut in slices. They are broken perpendicular to the tree trunk, but they aren't clean, perfect slices. They are still chunky and uneven. 2) The wood in these trees was replaced by minerals. They are literally made of rock now. Rocks break in planes like this all the time.

It looks like you abuse drugs sir.

@@jamisojo looks like projection from someone who has failed to do her research. Just one thing; look at satellite images of the mountains of the Earth and tell us how they were all formed into the Lichtenberg pattern. It is possible to gouge out the ground in a fluvial pattern with water flow. But it is impossible to create the Lichtenberg pattern that the mountains take on but by electric flow or deposition of ionized material welded in situ.

Yeah, that's a great point. Let all the people walk all over the fragile areas and destroy it for people to enjoy in the future.

Mark B I take it that you've never been to a national park before? They build elevated walk ways all the time. They should give the public some sort of walkway or observation area in order to see it.

+Leggo My Ego right !

Because we have morons who don't understand that you can't take any of the formations out of the park and take them home to look at. Do you realize how much looting would happen if they allowed people to walk through it? People trying to make a fast buck, by stealing and selling the petrified wood. That is why you can't walk through it. They are preserving the park so the next generation can also see it's beauty.

Dinosaurs here, are they not just the insides, of the DARK ones here, and their illnesses around, that's what I think, I can't imagine, such a clumsy animal finding it's way here, to be here too, and then being extinct by an enormous "flood gate to hell, explosion" here, so that they couldn't make it, and then just died out, almost over night here too, it terrifies us, so that we do much more, of what we're TOLD around here, as us here too, as the HUMANS around???!!! I DON'T THINK THEY ARE REAL, DO YOU???!!! The pretty not man, in all of the movies here, the Goldblum dude, or so, makes these stories UP, as that he goes along here, and then pretends it's true, to the kids around here, who DOESN'T LIKE him here at all, which is a bit strange, as that he's SO UNLOVED, we almost need to go to heaven, from this kind of HATRED here, but he doesn't care, as that he's very strange around here, but then I get to take it, as Jenny here, but not any more, in only just a few days here, then it's OVER, and on to someone else's head here, who's been chosen in Evil, as a woman in the body here right now, but maybe not later, as that we don't know of the original core of it, if it's a man core, or a woman core around, ok???!!! But it's Evil here, so that we DON'T GET TO CARE, as the LIGHT ones here, at all, just be happy it's not on us, any longer, here at all, ok???!!! So let them have it, and let them be it, and let them do it here, it's ok according to the law around here, as that it's a person of the SAME kind, as the ones who's chasing it here now, ok???!!! So the Jenny chasing has gone on to someone else here now, the thing that I warned you all about, would shift and change, and has done so NOW, and is on someone else, a person from Evil here, ok, we don't know of who, but it's ok, as long as that it's from Evil around, as that they go here, like this around, and we can't stop them, here at all, ok???!!! So please help me to secure it here, for us around, in the LIGHT here too, ok, as everyone around, with safety and security on, ok???!!! Do this NOW please!!! Thank you!!! // J ... And please don't get into it, it's very DANGEROUS there, and could char down your whole lifetime here, as you here too, so don't stick your nose in it, it's gonna BURN you here then, ok, so keep it to yourself, and DON'T GO THERE, ok!!! As with everything that doesn't belong to you, don't be nosy, you're not gonna have a very good time here then, so drag it back, as the nose party here now, so do it NOW here too, and don't stick your nose into other people's business here, AT ALL, ok, it's DANGEROUS there, and you don't know what you're doing, ok, so DRAG IT BACK HERE NOW, AS THE NOSE AROUND, IT'S NOT YOURS, SO IT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU HERE, OF WHAT'S GOING ON, AND HAPPENING HERE TOO, OK, SO DO THIS NOW HERE TOO, AS EVERYONE AROUND!!!! Thank you!!! Don't say it, just keep it to yourself, if you're not educated there, and asked to speak, ok???!!! SO SHUT UP PLEASE!!! Thank you!!! And also look if you got to go free of things here now, to be chased and to be a victim here too, as you around here too, if you've been one, to your open eyes here, ok!!! I bet ya, you got to go free!!! Thank you!!! // J

Grow up!!

Trees fall down all the time. Especially when they are old.

What???? So glad I didn't take a rock. Maybe the rocks belong with the land then and are teaching people a lesson. We all know not to steal from a national park.

There is no such thing as being "cursed". I know, because I'm not 5 years old.

Yes. Climate changes over time. That doesn't prove that humans haven't had an effect on our climate today. It's not quite that simple.

@@jamisojo -When this area was a tropical swamp, it was located on the same parallel as Costa Rica... Drift of Plate tectonics. side note; In our solar system, Only our own Earth has such plate drift/shift phenomena. ;}

Taking LSD is not a good idea.

Vert Green thats the natural disposition of the wood cells, and most of the logs are cut in order to analyze them in a laboratory

That's not a correct statement. Tree fibres, called cellulose, are jagged when they break. That's the "natural disposition" of wood: the cellulose which makes up the arboreal biomass breaks jagged, uneven. Relative to cutting the "logs" to analyze them in a laboratory, it they were intentionally cut, there would be cut marks. Certainly, if cut after they petrified, then, there would be "stone dust" left from the cutting process, yet there's not any of that either. These broke cleanly, and level, many thousands of years ago...before the laboratory was invented.

Vert Green the tree fibers are replaced with solid sediments changing the chemical structure of the wood, it happens with all the fossils, thats why they dont have any dna, they are no longer organic, celulose is an organic compound wich is replaced with silicone and calcium, the structure is the only thing left behind, the chemical compounds are gone, fosils are not made of calcium like natural bones, they are usually made of calcite and silicium, and sometimes even quarts, thats why fossils are brittle and break apart

troy wilkes it didnt took place over ground, it was buried and then uncovered by erotion, and sorry in fact some of them where cut to take some material to the laboratory, other ones were cut and thats why they look kinda splintered

troy wilkes no, dont worry i know why you are confused, do you know what peat moss is? its vegetation that decomposed with anaerobic processes so it pretty much doesnt decompose by bacteria but by anaerobic, inorganic proceses along the years and the celulose structures are preserved, its pretty much a very similar process, sedimet fills the cavities and the celulose is preserved, yeah i have gone camping, i've been to places where people cuts trees, believe me, this is not one of those cases, human mind tends to relate weird things to situations that had happened before in order to adapt to them, some of these logs where cut later by scientists to see their internal structure and take material to analyze in the lab

derp derpy derp!

huh ! Wrong ! Why wouldnt you take this for real ? This is exactly what it is !!

What is it then?

Why are you screaming when you are so incorrect?

Trees turned into rock, and then broke. Some of them look like cut logs. Most of them don't.

lol, So a flat earth video goes out with nothing more than pictures and ideas about giant fairy trees and once again that's all you people need to completely show how idiotic you can be. Why not do some actual science and research yourself and learn what's really going on and possibly than you could form an argument.

I have done my research I'm not an flat earther but open minded couple branches that have magically appeard in the forest and your telling me to do research so yes flat earth theory or what ever u call it sounda better than jus appearing out of the blue goverment lie to us all when are people gonna get that

missy hoyte I call B.S. That video on silicone trees came out very recently and noone has ever commented about it before. There's next to nothing that you can find online about it. So I'm curious, besides that video, what kind of research have you done to be able to declare without question, that these are branches from bigger silicone trees? I'll explore any link you can produce.

Very tru but can u tell me were they come from cos I don't kno but like I said it sounds better that jus magically appearing from no were with the cock n bull story not gonna go into fact n figures jus my opinion and my personal research not tryna be he new david ike!!! dont take it personal m8
