I Found Impossible Ancient Symbols on the Edge
We hiked up a rocky hill to discover some very old petroglyphs on very steep ledges. How did ancient people carve these 50 feet above ground? Why would they want to leave the marks here? Was this an ancient calendar or hunting instructions or a sacred place? It always amazes me how much work and bravery it took to accomplish this. #hiking #desertexploration #explore #climbing #ancientsites #adventure #archaeology #adventure #ancienthistory

A Line of Rectangles Found on Google Earth
มุมมอง 25Kวันที่ผ่านมา
When I was exploring on Google Earth, I noticed a rectangular structure. Upon taking a closer look, I began to see that almost every end of the mesa had these strange rectangles. We headed out into this very remote desert to see what they were. Amazingly, we found another side canyon, that had far more than what we were expecting. #hiking #desertexploration #googlearth #explore #ancientsites #d...

Why is There A Ten-Foot Pillar on Top of this Mountain?
มุมมอง 95014 วันที่ผ่านมา
This is Mount Floyd in Northern Arizona. It stands at 7,441 feet of elevation and it has 1,661 feet of prominence. Over a thousand years ago, this area was home for Native American Cohonina people. We climbed to the top and found a ten-foot tall summit cairn that was beautifully built. This is a fun climb in spring, but the area does get snow cover in the winter.

    As I’ve said in other places; this rock art, in my humble opinion, was once at ground level. Pre dis(aster) cycle and the native people stretched all over that land, you can see where the ground was rent upwards in places and dropped in others. It would have been obvious and easy to create the images to communicate with others. Why would they put it in such perilous areas where most would never see? 🤔

    I’m pretty sure that the solar panel and equipment with the antennas is a repeater for the private mobile radio band. You can tell that those two Yagi antennas are operating close to the 500Mhz band. If you drew straight lines out from those antennas one should intersect with a ranch house and the other with a cell tower. Total distance could be as much as 60 miles, maybe more. Did you by chance record the Lat/Lon there?

    On a side note, and FYI, I have done a little research into these antennae and solar panels out in the middle of nowhere and have a possible answer to your question of what they might be. They have been seen now all over the back country and there are several possibilities. They could be a HAM radio relay/repeater station to bounce signals off of to increase their range, on that same point they might be a foreign entity using them for the same purpose. I live out in backwoods of Colorado, and they recently put a 5G antennae/node up at the top of our hill a year ago. I have not been up there yet to look at it but will do that very soon and will let you know what I see. Someone found 3 or 4 of them up by Denver and asked around to the utilities and phone company, they did not know anything about it, and not long after that authorities came out and removed them. A news station picked up on the story and reported on this but never did a follow up as to who put them up. Just curious as to what state you found this in.

    @SunRabbit 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Those 2 petroglyphs @5:57 look like Ogham. If they are Ogham then it says D-E-M <start of entrance>. You may want to take stills of them at night using LED illumination from different sides to bring out any details that might get washed out by sunlight. The orientation of some of these symbols looks lopsided, but that might be because the rocks got shifted by geological changes. That's why you want as many stills as possible to get the context and layout, as well as exact GPS coordinates. Based on the cacti visible in the footage this looks like the southwestern USA, and if this is confirmed to be Ogham, at that location, it could be as significant a find as the Gosford Glyphs, ancient Egyptian glyphs found near Sydney, Australia. I've personally met Mohammed Ibrahim, who confirmed them to be authentic. In other words, it's not at all outlandish to think the ancient Picts or Celts may have travelled to that part of the World.
