Epic Desert Discoveries: Uncovering Hidden Wonders in the American Southwest #ancientdiscoveries

I used to come across these as a young kid, I had no appreciation for what I was seeing. Now that I do, it's a struggle for me to find them again. Thanks for sharing

Desert Drifter, you ARE the MAN!! Leaving that fine arrowhead where you found it, is a very classy thing to do. Great video to boot!

This is so cool, I’ve been here and actually sat outside of this ruin for around 2 hours just wondering what could have gone on around this canyon.

❤thanks for sharing you exciting finds and respecting the native s

Always be safe and careful when your out there.😊👍🙏

This was a great video! Those ruins were fantastic, especially since it's been probably 700 to 11 or 1200 years since those were built. Those people were such hard workers!! Wouldn't it be super to be able to go back in time and watch a day in their lives? We couldn't even begin to keep up with them! ❤

judging by the soot on the ceilings of these structures I would imagine that their lungs must have been roached.

There are some dry washes and Anasazi areas that I know of that are littered with half pots, full pots and thousands of arrowheads just poking in and out of these dry washes. And a secret cave that drops into a little fortress inside…looks like a mini mesa verde with everything still intact. All the structures were smooth and stuccoed. Several had weird red and black designs on them. Several doors had a yellow paint that looked like sun rays coming from the edges and upward. There were some bundles and clay pottery’s in the rooms. Lots of bird and rat droppings. There were several doors with wood or stone doors couldn’t tell as the area was immense. My friend being Navajo did not enter and hopped over any relic. Wouldn’t touch anything. I saw these in 1985. It’s on private land so it will not be discovered. I plan on making a trip out west and visiting my old friends and hopefully return to the summer sheep camp…and revisit this area. Perhaps making a video. Idk if I would do that though…the family is very traditional. They also have a uncle that lives an hour away in Piñon. He has a secret valley that rivals the petrified forest. Huge petrified trees….many are buried. Not to mention dinosaur tracts also.

Hi, Fantastic to look at the outstandingly beautiful territory and stunning artifacts art and old buildings, what I miss is insight into the lives of the people who lived there

Thanks again for another enjoyable video.

I think one of my favorite parts of your video presence is the empathetic view you share in consideration of the history you experience ❤️ it would be interesting to see someone recreate a similar building method to see the time and process needed. Also longer videos if you are able ! You are fun to explore with

Enjoying the channel and appreciate your respect for these sites.

🌺🌺 THAT WHITE ARROWHEAD WAS COOL 🌺🌺

i love your adventures Sir.im in australia and as rugged as OZ is .your country is very appealing for the ancients way of life..please keep them coming

Thank you so much for showing this! Wonderful!!

My new favorite channel. I live in Pennsylvania and have always wanted to visit the Grand Canyon. You are the perfect guide and your respect for this land is grand in itself. I'd bet they placed that log there to come and go all those years ago. Thanks for sharing your views!

Nice find.

I am really enjoying your videos. Amazing views. New friend here.

😎 WOW very cool👍Thanks for sharing

So cool... I got to see some similar areas back in the '90's with my now ex-brother-in-law who lived in Flagstaff. Most were more out in the open with only foundation and bits of wall remaining. I kept imaging them as they must have been when they were being constructed and inhabited. That really made me want to see cliff dwellings and other places that didn't have a paved road leading to them. Your video is the closest that I have gotten to that so much gratitude and appreciation to you! Since you obviously adhere to the leave it as you found it philosophy I've got to ask, have you ever gotten to spend a night in or close to ruins like that? I'm not into much new age Sedona style stuff but I did get a "vibe" from the places that I managed to see and wondered what an over night stay would be like & what kind of dreams you might have. Thanks again!
