Unveiling a Large Lost City in the Southwestern United States Using Google Earth! 

Seven million native Americans thank you for being respectful around their ancestors homes...

Hello! I live on a small island near Africa and I do the same as you, but I'm not a RU-vidr. I could show you similar structures, cave houses, petroglyphs, mummies, barns, stone buildings in forgotten ravines... I am very surprised that we are 9,000 km apart and everything you show is so familiar to me. Thank you very much for your videos, I am enjoying a lot. Also thank you very much for showing such great respect by visiting archaeological sites.

I was part of the Utah County Sheriff's search and rescue / jeep patrol for about a decade. They had people in that group that had lived their entire lives in the southwest and they knew of places that they say they'll never tell another soul about because they know they'll get looted. One of the guys in the group was a man by the name of George Cunningham. He was called in to document the ruins before they flooded the canyon and created Lake Powell so that was the level of people we were working with. Your discoveries are truly amazing and I know full well the feeling of standing in a spot thinking that indigenous peoples stood on this spot thousands of years ago and actually lived here. The climate was different back then, it was a lot wetter. One thing you'll notice in the pictographs are lots of turtles... Not so much any more.

There's no end to the number of thousand-year-old sites, large and small, to be found in the Southwest. Thank our dry climate and difficult terrain for that. My greatest thrills happen when, while bushwhacking in extreme terra obscura, I happen across previously undiscovered sites. No roads, no cattle, no hunters. I also often wonder how many ancient sites have totally vanished in the remainder of the nation, where climate and population have erased them.

I have lived in Colorado for more than forty years and have seen more of the state than most of its residents. However, your videos have opened my eyes to the history that lies undiscovered in the Four Corners states. I am very excited about the discoveries you are making as well as thankful to you for doing so. I also deeply appreciate your respect for the sites you discover and explore as well as the land they occupy. You leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but images and memories. That's the way it should be. I'm a subscriber and a fan and want to remain both.

I'm blown away by your finds. I get so caught up in my day to day concerns, all the while these relics sit there, through sun and wind and rain, softly speaking their message: This too shall pass.

Few years back I stumbled across a granary with dried corn cobs still inside. Way in the back. Blows your mind putting it into historical perspective. Thanks for the posts.

It is something quite common that all the peoples in desert areas were close to rivers or creeks and lived in the upper parts as protection against animals that went to drink water at night. Very beautiful place, it was something quite intense to find that place. I am a 65-year-old woman who always follows your adventures.

The reverence you show for these ancient dwellings, artifacts & the people who built/inhabited them long ago is why I love your channel. And you crack me up with your “sponsor” but I would watch through any sponsor you get because you are too cool! Thanks for taking us with you.

Thank you for taking the time to make, edit and post your videos, ALWAYS great to watch! I am very impressed on your desire to protect the sites that you visit such as this one. It clearly shows your good character.

I've grown up in northern Arizona. I'm 72 now. I worked many years on these big ranches cowboying. Consequently I discovered many many ruins. I appreciate you not divulging locations as it helps protect the sites from the many vandals out there. Keep exploring. I subscribed today. Thanks

Dude, bring a tent, water, food and set up a base camp. You should be here for a week, not a day trip.

You are right absolutely beautiful find. 😮 Hope it can stay that way for another 100 years. Thanks for taking us along.

Great job for recognizing these sites must be protected

I really appreciate how respectful you are of the sites you visit. Thank you!

About sixty years ago, my grandparents were flying their plane over Arizona and saw a quaint little town called Sedona. Right then and there they decided to retire there. They made friends with a retired doctor who was the main doctor at the hospital in ghost town Jerome during its heyday of copper mining. One day he was flying and looked down and saw rocks in square formations. He had found what is now a tourist attraction called Tozigoot (sp). If I remember right, the locals restored over a hundred rooms and still there were a lot of ruins in crumbles. It’s so fascinating to think about what the people were like so long ago.

@ 4:33 - This is how one visits with respect. Amazing place! Over near Sunset Crater in Arizona, archaeologists found corn cob impressions that had been cast in lava from the eruption around 1066!

So awesome how you pay so much respect and take so much care in not damaging these finds

My man is a full on self taught IMINT analyst. Hat's off to your diligence, love the channel.

We are so happy to get to go with!! Amazing hunt.😊

I’M so happy you brought us along. Thank you for sharing your adventures!

I'm glad to know there are still ancient places out there to explore. Thanks.

Thank you for respecting ancestral villages by not going in them and only showing the insides by camera. Earned my subscription and support.

Thank you for all you are doing to protect the sites and for sharing them with us!❤

Wow!!! What a find. Amazing condition, too. Incredible.

Good job young man. Thanks for bringing to us things we would never have seen.

Thank you for helping to keep these places safe and pristine. Do not deface, mark, take away, . These have been here for centuries.

Those twigs or sticks poking out of the mortar.... did you notice how most are near doorways or openings...they were purposeful protrusions left to hang things on, or anchor covers for the opening ( "doors" ).

This was wonderful. I'm so glad you followed your hunch on that ruin. The cliff dwellings are magical. It must be difficult to leave a magical place like that. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

I found your channel today. If I were young and strong I would love to go with you on these adventures. My spirit longs for adventures and it will until my last breath. I was lucky to be strong and life was always an adventure. Thank you for making these videos…you are giving this old and frail lady something to look forward to. You bring back memories of all my wonderful adventures. Never stop… until you have to. ❤

Im so happy I found your channel. You and I have the same reverence and respect for these sites and the feeling of sitting in the same spot that you know someone sat 1000 or more years ago is incredible. The first time I found an Arrowhead cache was right next to a boulder overlooking a beautiful desert valley, I could sit there and imagine the person years before. Awesome adventure man!

Wow what an interesting life you live. If only I could be so young again and able to do what you do. Thanks for protecting these ancient sites.

Thank you, so much for your videos. And, even more so for your respect for these ancient sites! I'm Navajo and was taken to one of these ancient ruin sites by my older sister. This ruin site is in a canyon alcove and had a circular stone stairway to the main entrance. And, a kiva with a natural amphitheater of natural stone alcove. There was many other architectural features about this ruins I found fascinating. This ruins is not open to the public. My sister's husband's family/clan have lived in this canyon and it's side canyons, and top of these canyons for hundreds of years. We spent a couple hours exploring this complex. We left everything were it lay... pottery shards, grinding places, corn, etc. It was an incredible experience! I did take pictures! As Navajo... we have great respect!

Great to see "pristine" sites like this are still out there to be found.

Thank you for these journeys. My intrepid partner and I took many trips into the remote back-ass of nowhere in our day. I don't have quite the range without him and this fills my heart and gives me peace

Like many people I escape with your adventures .your vids are a breath of fresh air .the scenery just blows your mind .and the Space. I wish they were longer .God Bless and Protect you .

I used to live in St. George. I only know of a few sites in that area. I appreciate seeing all of the sites that you go to.

that was amazing. I'm glad he went up into the caves and dwellings this time. It's so fascinating seeing them up close

You've made me realise that the dwellings in that period are endless. I had no idea there were so many people back then. Thanks again 😊

Dude! That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing your adventures.

Amazing, especially that 1917 find. The stones strewn everywhere give my imagination openings. The cliff structures seem important. It's all nice to watch.

Fantastic find! Keep it secret! Love your vids!

I would cry if I found something like that, it's beautiful. Sometimes I feel like I want to run away from the world and live like that, out there in peace 😂

That's awesome Utah Tech! This must be recent. 😁 Good job. That must be the Anasazis or the Zunis.

Pretty cool. Thanks for taking us along with you. Safe travels!

Fellow Utah Tech student here! I’ve also spent loads of time in our deserts discovering these amazing artifacts! Thank you so much for the respect you show to these amazing preservations!

4:16 That IS cool! Considering that eco-housing techniques have embraced using corn cobs as building material (insulation), this imprint is certainly wa-ay ahead of its time! 🤗🤗🌽

Wow , what an amazing find, thank you for sharing your adventures. ❤❤

Wow, what a fantastic find!!

Looks like old soot from fires on the ceiling. Very cool discovery.

Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us and for always being so kinds and respectful to these sites . 😊

Thank you for doing this and thank you for taking care not to damage the sites.

Love your content, thanks for bringing us along. 👍

Wonderful video. Thanks!!!

This is an awesome site! I would love to visit it!!

Outstanding finds. Greatly appreciate your taking us along the adventure.

You help me get my southwest fix! Love you started out, “I wanted to go see it, so I drove seven hours.” Just very relatable for me lol.

Thank you for not messing with the riuns or the artifacts and leaveing only footprints and this video as proof you were there its what i like most about your videos the respect for these ancient sites

You must have the great sense of balance and no fear at all of heights. Hold a camera while hiking the ledges of this terrain . You da man!!!

Amazing find! Keep on trekkin'!

That was fantastic to find something so amazing. Iam glad you don't share location but let people discover it on their own so many would only vandalized Them High five ✋👍

I love sharing these with you! Thanks so much for bringing these adventures into my life. You make it feel like I’m tagging along.👍

The part where your voice sounded muffled, you probably had your hand over the microphone on your camera. It's usually a tiny hole depending on what kind of camera you use. I always try to keep my gopro in the housing because it has that problem when I take it out.

Those "branches or twigs" you mention at 5:20 are probably just hooks for hanging clothing or food or materials. If you visit the Citadel in Road canyon, you'll find many of these hooks sticking out from the walls, in convenient locations both indoors and out. I suspect they're ancient coat hooks.

I love history, so for you to stumble upon ancient ruins is fascinating and amazing! Thanks and keep tracking.👍

Love this! The Corn looks like 2 hole ears of corn was shoved in there and the clay/mortar spread over the top of it… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌎🌵

What an awesome adventure! Thank you so much for taking us along!

We have a major ruin in our backyard we’re close to Montezuma castle Arizona One thing to remember the natives were smart they always built their dwellings close to the river because who likes to hike water At this site you can see how the water use to run I’m sure drought is the reason it was abandoned

Very cool discoveries! Thanks for having us along! I enjoy these hikes!

I'd love to see a video telling more about the lives of the pueblo people, I think it would add to our appreciation of exploring their land and homes. Thanks!

Hands down the best content on youtube right now...thank you for doing what you do and sharing it with people...much appreciated, id never be able to see what you get to see, so being able to see it thru you is awesome...thank you!

Your work is amazing, I hope you coordinate with a university as you are adding so much to the archaeological record.

I am just filled with wonder at these wonderful places you explore. This one had so many details about it I loved-like the corn imprints. Thank you for your efforts in taking us to these places, and for the respect you always show them!

I love joining you on these adventures. You have an amazing eye for interesting anomalies. And the right level of respect for what you find. You are one of my favorites.

You go back in time and see the work of others, you know deep down inside you that these people had to work hard, life was precious to them because life is precious to you. TTP, you have a merciful heart the way you appreciate what you find. My grandfather and his family were raised in south Texas, 1880's till 1920's out in the brush, where there was no running water or electricity till the 1930's or so because they were poor but survivors. You are kind and brave soul with strength. Thanks for the adventure, my man.

Absolutely outstanding. Thanks again for driving all that distance to check these places out and share them with us. This was phenomenal. I can almost hear the echo of the daily life that these incredible people lived. The 'window' type structures were so beautifully made and the corn patterning, I can imagine was from some little kid saying to their father, "make it pretty". So cool.

Thank you for producing these fascinating videos. Thank you also for having a very sound respect and appreciation for maintaining the integrity of these historical sites. Keep ignoring the dolts who clamor for you to bring a metal detector out on your excursions. They are missing the point thinking that there is buried treasure, whereas the real treasure is what you are seeing and recording all around while not tampering with these sites

Excellent, amazing to think that people lived and built such amazing structures by hand 1000 years ago or more, thank you😎🤩⭐️

I have to confess, I'm a little jealous of you! Lol! Keep on trekking! You seem to make many amazing discoveries every time you go out on one of these trekking trips. Thanks so much for sharing!

Great find. What an incredible adventure. Congrats

I realized where you were, when you went under the cliff edge ... I've been there .. I had a very spooky experience up on the top, just above there that caused me to STOP collecting pottery and arrow heads FOREVER ... I have no more of those items to this day .... rather, I make my own.... I cannot stress enough, to leave things alone when visiting these areas ... There is SOMETHING that protects most of them... I have had SEVERAL experiences, that leave ZERO DOUBT about what I am saying ... And I should have paid attention to the first one that happened to me... but it took several.... the last one the most horrifying

Thanks for taking the time to show these wonders and your respectful attitude. 😅great job!

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing and for having respect for the place!

It's a shame that we need to protect these sites from vandals. Why do some people have to be so crappy?

What an amazing find. One of your best yet! And good use of the drone to get the 'big picture' of the site. I'm wondering if the maze imprints were cause by the people using the cob of the corn to help press the mortar into place, rather than using their hands. Looks like they might have tried it in a couple of places and then decided it wasn't as effective as using their hands. Hard to say...

You are so respectful! I really enjoy your videos…thank you for sharing!❤

Just happen to stumble upon your channel and your adventures are right up my alley. Thanks so much for taking us along on your amazing journeys. Love from Canada

I think the watchtower is actually what's left of a small kiva. Not uncommon to have a string of them along the rim next to cliff dwellings. Looks like maybe you were not too far down the road. Love the videos.

What if you camped there and made it into multiple videos? Absolutely love this content

Wow. Absolutely fascinating. Who the heck knew? Thank you again for doing this, and doing it respectfully, and taking us along.

Simply amazing. Thanks so much for sharing.

Wow, that was simply amazing, and your expression upon seeing those rooms was Perfect. Your reverence for the Anasazi, and their sites is truly wonderful, thank you. Of course I will join you when ever you have a new video. At 69 years of age I hiked 20 miles in the Sonoran Desert over two days this week, first 7, then 13. Three days later I am still recovering, I can easily to that in the Fall, Winter, and early Spring, but in May at the pace I walk it begins to "beat me up good." Heck, with the shape your in there is no way I could ever keep up with you. Now as for the lack of Petroglyphs, Desert Varnish is a prerequisite for any outstanding petroglyph artwork. In your current location the geology is not suited for Desert Varnish to accumulate over eons. I have photographed a number of petroglyphs with a 4x5 inch View Camera I sold several years ago. Unfortuneately most of the petroglyph photographs on Google, and Yandex Images are mediocre at best. To take outstanding photographs of petroglyphs you need a good tripod, a really high end camera with the right lens, and the maxium megapixels possible, snapshots don't cut it. But to make anything real capture an image and make you feel it, decades of experience in Photoshop makes all the difference. Killer Video!!!!!!!!! OH PS, Google Maps is upgrading over the next sevral months, but I am doubtful it will help you in your serches, but maybe. Last note, have you ever searched on Google Earth near Mexican Hat and Bluff Utah, you might want to check it out.

I love your videos. Pretty awesome to be able to hike out and see these places in person. Do you do any research on them before you go? Like, try to find out if there has been a study done on the site or research if it has any known history? It’d be amazing to be able to tell a bigger story about the sites, like when it was occupied, when it was abandoned, how the sites interacted and were related, the big picture story of the people’s of the southwest.

As far as that little wall, if that was a hunting blind, then it provides just a little more permanent concealment and protection from wind. It could block some creatures and also provide a reference where not to pass when darkness sets. Thanks ! by the way for sharing your adventures with everyone !

You are my favorite channel and I wanna thank you 👍

You sir are such a inspiration, and I admire your commitment!!!!!! Please make more videos, and be SAFE! 😊

I appreciate your respect of these artifacts, for documenting this piece of our history and wanting to explore more. Thank you. I'll be on the road in about 2 months but I can hardly wait!

the corn imprints are my favorite part, I imagine them pressing all their favorite foods into the plaster as "wallpaper decorations" or something. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me to go explore my area!

This and your other most recent video are just absolutely outstanding. It's evident that you're learning a lot along the way and we get to learn along with you. ❤ Big sites or small sites it's all good just keep doing what you're doing

Awesome video! Thank you for taking us along with you.
