Alex, SUPER COOL! I live in Lovelock and for the past 3 years I have explored many areas on my own. I found the caves you were at just driving and walking around that area. You would be shocked at finds I've made there. Tons of Petroglyphs in numerous areas in the foothills. I have discovered WAGON TRAIN RUTS just below the site where you were at. There are 100's of wagon parts and lots of bones from Mules, Horses and even, OXEN! Great area to explore. There is a treasure every where I go! Thank you for your lessons on these wonderful finds!
I visited the Lovelock caves seven years ago more interested in the two giant red headed people buried in the cave in a boat discovered by a farmer digging the bat guerono out of the ground.A local native took me to the petroglyph, s down the road.Pretty neat! I drove up the Hwy#80 east to the next town ( Wenamucca)to the museum where renements of giant are located but it was closed! Bummer! I was interested in the giant story at Lovelick cave because while hunting in the Sierra, s I ran into sasquatchh a few times, thus North America, s giants....yes the bigfoot/squatch are giants! Thank you for the video! The next valley south was another ancient lake and more shelter/caves....very interesting! Yes....have to ask the right local native to show you these areas..you have to be at the right place at the right time...lol!
Thanks for the kind words. In the area of Leonards and Lovelock cave there was the legend of tall men (7+ feet) who had a red hair and were cannibals. The local Paiutes called them the Si-Te-Cah. Interesting stuff. Also, I think some of the symbols on Leonard's Cave also referes to the Lovelock Cave. Also, one of the things about symbols is that many cultures had the same symbols with different meanings. I just saw an Egyptian statue in a tomb exhibit that has swastika symbols around its neck.
the paint kept the water from washing away the stone .raised writing and they lived there so some of the drawings might represent life times and events
I find this site very intriguing. I believe some day, somewhere, we will uncover the Gobekli Tepe of the west coast. It would be easy to hide a cave entrance. Think how many undiscovered caves there must be.
12:57 Looking at the surface, it seems that the concrete truck has washed away the failed work with the wrong mixing ratio. And this is concrete with a lack of moisture. Crushed stones (pebbles) seem to be hidden in the surface of the small ridges.
Great video, my friend. I was just in the Lovelock area about 10 days ago. We finally had a chance to hike the "Nature Trail" and it included exploring the caves and circumnavigation of the cave area on a stormy thunderstorm threatening day. We missed this cave , because i forgot to refer to your channel and discover the Leonard's cave petroglyphs. I guess our next trip i will have to get back to these caves. By the way , the Indian hunting tool is pronounced (at-la-tyl) Atlatyl....keep up the good work. I'm reviewing your video 7 years late..
Alex, what a joy to watch your video. I travel to Lovelock many times each year and stay at the Cadillac Inn. The inn keeper there named Larry has showed me many things in and around Lovelock. He's "one of those people" you mentioned in the video with a wealth of knowledge. He also happens to be bit of an historian with regards to the Chinese in the area who worked building the transcontinental railroad and keeps a small museum next to their hotel. A contingent from China just filmed a 3 part documentary about the role of the Chinese in building the railroad and Larry was honored for his input at the premier of the film in LA just a couple weeks ago. Thanks for sharing your film and doing such a wonderful job explaining it!
+folmonty Thanks for watching. When I was in Lovelock I first went to the small town museum which is well worth the visit. From there I went to an antique shop and spoke with an elderly lady who directed me to Larry. And he was the one who gave me directions to Leonard's Cave. Recently, I visited another site in Nevada which contains North America's oldest petroglyphs. This is the TH-cam link th-cam.com/video/lsXwSe4oEOA/w-d-xo.html .........alex
Do we not all live in our own stylised caves? Brilliant adventure and of course the hunt for cave dwellers is always exciting, especially giant cannibals and evidence of the great war or at least hunting?
I often tell people I am an accidental storytelling tourist on a quest for knowledge. If any of this sparks an interest to seek further knowledge we are all the better of for it...thanks....the journey continues...alex
What is 1st symbol supposed to be? The comb appears in Moab and I think it refers to 2 magnetic poles. I heard about secret caves from men now dead in Ca. and Co. ; never got to explore them. I think I also know where to get into underground river system in S.Nevada, forged thanks to a crack made during a superdome collapse. Great video thanks.
Compare the recently dated Pyramid lakes Petroglyphs( 14,800) to Geneveive Von Peltzingers thesis on the ancient Paleolithic writing in French caves. Study the PRE-CLOVIS,their stone tool bi-facing technology(over shot flaking), their rock art, and compare it to the Solutreans. The Si-Te- Cah, first entered off shore from Chesapeak bay,colonized the east coast somewhat, and followed the mega fauna west, and then North to Alaska. The Cinmar bi-faced tool dredged up with a Mastadon 60 miles offshore from Virginia dates 22,760 years old in 1970? Some early tools in Deleware, Maryland Virginia are made from French flint.And the early remains? Kennewick man, spirit cave man,windover bog bodies,penon woman,Anzick baby? Iberia before Siberia.
Thats very interesting I love this kind of adventure. I drove all the way from Las Vegas to explore the Lovelock caves and was pretty disappointed. It was a massive cave but the only excitement I got was from looking at the burn marks on the roof of the cave. Me and my friend explored around the area and found some semi interesting things but nothing we were looking for. Now I want to tackle this cave
When I lived in Fallon Nevada I would take the kids out to the desert and sometimes we would find some fantastic petroglyphs painted ones too. But with the tufa hanging down like it does in some of the caves I would have to watch my head or I would get the Dickens knocked out of me.
Alex. I have recently discovered your site. Many thanks for showing the world some interesting facts about American ancient life. Here in Australia we have many rock art sites which are still not understood.
Warren, thanks for watching the series. Hopefully, next year I will be able to visit and film several sites in Australia...............................alex
I used to live in Nevada, so interested in this content. Regarding your throwing tool, spelled Atlatal and pronouced At-La-tal. Thanks again...10 yrs later...youtube right?
Thank you. Great video! I am fascinated by petroglyphs. The connection with alkaline geology is very interesting. Perhaps medicinal materials were gathered there also. I wonder if there is a spring or water in the area.
Deborah Goins here in North Northumberland UK we have a tribe that marked there boundaries with a cup & ring symbols . a had herd about them but after watching alexs videos and been totally hooked on them and this amazing fascinating history a decided with my 8 yrs old daughter to go find these symbols and luckily we did manage to find one . Take care . Liam 😉
So glad I came across your videos today. I love the way you take us on a journey with you. Here comes a supreme compliment, I enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed watching Huell Howser. Loved the way Howser took us with him to discover Californias Gold.
Thanks, there are some very interesting places in Nevada - I added a link to my adventure videos in the description section. Click onto the link and then click onto the Nevada section.
The Glacier was part of the flood... new theories are that something huge flew past the earth may have even collided which super heated the earth melting said Glacier which caused the "great" deluge
"How do I know? Because the rocks speak to me" Beautifully said! You're channel is my favorite petroglyph channel by far! I really appreciate, the love and respect you demonstratei for such places. I have learned so much from your videos. I live near the Petroglyphs in Albuquerque , and hike the 17 miles of artistically marked rock tirelessly.. I have found many forgotten petroglyphs, that very few people have seen.. I have often wondered your opinion on some of the more unique images that I have come across.. Moreover I often find images of what looks to be exotic animals from over seas; Such as, Kangaroos, elephants, monkeys, and even a rhinoceros. If you ever travel my way, I would be thrilled to show you some of the secret treasures of the area, and hear your thoughts.. Thank you for such a worthwhile educational channe!l
The petroglyph are a mile or less North of Lovelock cave along the same hill/mountain chain....look for those funny swallow looking birthnest formations......
Thanks for bringing me along for the discovery! Your enthusiasm and ability to identify what we're looking at made a mildly interesting trip into something much more fun and edifying. Thanks!
Sites all over from around 10 bc. Right after the flood. I would really love to know where these people came from, and where they survived said disaster at.
Debbie, thanks for watching the series and your question. At Leonard's Cave what we observe are petroglyphs. Essentially, petroglyph are images carved into the stone by pecking, abrading, or incising into the stone. When we see ancient "painted" images they are called Pictographs...............alex
Alex, Your works reflect that you're not inhibited by "Mainstream's Paradigm" (a most uncomfortable limited 19th Century Theory based Thoughts, etc), but are Authenic in your approach and Academic Assessments. Refreshing Open Scientific and History Mind.
You missed way more glyphs than you found. There are many faces carved into the site with far more detailed and complex art. Some appear to be more mesoamerican looking. Some of the face glyphs don't appear to be human as we would think. These are far fainter than the ones shown, and possibly much older. Some of these may be late paleolithic or early desert archaic.
Jim, view the following link and you should be able to get driving directions to the site. The Cave is on BLM land and there is a road to the Cave which is very easy to reach. Also, I suggest a visit to the museum in Lovelock.....alx www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1ST8WyWhf08kB4SUvnH4HjrYX5i8&hl=en_US
Some Native Americans report they have knowledge of the meaning of several several symbols. A great read is a book by LeVan Martiheau titled, "The Rocks Begin To Speak". Thanks for the pronunciation as I seem to always have a problem with that word. I think I was trying to say that since the bow and arrow was introduced intot North America around 1,500 years ago that the symbol could relate to the potential age of the petroglyph. Thanks for the input....it is all good...alex
I'm sure u get a lot of questions on the big faulks. I saw the cave the official plaque there was a lot of items so to speak left behind the one that got me was the date on the shoe.. But wanted to say nice work very impressed w ur work!!
Hi Alex, really enjoyed these videos on Leonard's and Lovelock caves. I'm traveling through next month, and would like to see them. Are the roads passable in my regular car? Thanks.
When I was there it was a gravel road in good condition and I used a Ford Tarus to drive there. You can't drive directly up to Leonard's and you might have to walk in part of the way. However, I was there several years ago and the road conditions may have changed. Also, I would recommend you visit the town museum/historical society.......alex
buddylogan Hi Alex, I visited Lovelock cave last week-it was great! I drove my Saturn, and the road was in great condition. After a bit of trial and error, I found Leonard's Cave, too. As you mentioned, I did have to hike a bit to get there, but what a reward! It is a very special place-I spent a couple of hours there exploring and just sitting, trying to imagine what it was like for the people who lived there when the area was a lush inland sea and marsh. Thanks for posting your videos!
Ian, thanks for watching. Yes, there are native tribes in the area. There are 32 reservations/colonies in Nevada. This is a link to a map showing their location and names: nevadaindianterritory.com/map/
Wow! Thank you for letting me come along on your journey. It gives me such a feeling of being one with the natural world and of the continuity of life. You show your great love and respect for the ancients by leaving the arrowheads where you found them.
at 3.31 i see lightning bolt i see lots of water flowing over a cliff and down the river waves, i see the people in the waves and a house building below the people. after about ten days they wrote this. you never start writing bottom to top so the first thing they wrote was nine or ten days marks at the top scared had to write something .
Archaeologists all assumed that climate change was externally given. I, on the other hand, believe that human activities, especially agricultural activities, have transformed the landscape, destroyed vegetation, and hence changed climate! Arizona was initially a piece of fertile land full of vegetation. When there was vegetation, the area was much more humid and therefore had more precipitation. Destruction of land and vegetation results in a vicious cycle of reduced rainfall and even less vegetation.
They had recently proven after 40 years of experimentation that man has indeed ruined the land not by agriculture, but by lack of grazing animals. we have not only stopped mass herding, but also have killed off most large grazing animals like the American Bison etc. In Arizona one of their tests they tried bringing goats in the hundreds to a baron dry cracked earth property, 15 years later they had green grass, shrubs, and trees popping up all over.
Those glyphs are Trauma scribblings. The kind of scratches on the walls of the condemned cell. All those images exist here in Britain too. I see those glyphs in the sky most every day since 1989 as whispy clouds, looming larger day by day. They cover the whole sky now. Thousands have noticed and film them as vlog everyday, twice a day. Those lines were in the sky before. The same symbols exist Everywhere around the world. Belief is ever the mirage. Facts have no time for belief. None of us have time. The mesolithic peoples who left the glyphs here. Are long extincted by cataclysm.
Someone should go in there and excavate- awe that awesome history needs to be protected! Would be awesome to walk around and image what life was like back then. I could spend hours there.
@12:08 isnt that a man made wall in the back of the cave, the stones look like they are stacked by man don't they? Do you think R1b1 was there, the red headed people?
If I was in that cave nesting away for the night, there would be a lot more beer cans as I pondered the mystery, of course If I had my Terence theory ground medicine I would only have a few. Thanks you for these videos. I love them!
You bet, and I am sure it was fun, I miss it out west so bad it's hard to take, but I love this place mainly because lake superior, the ojibway, or chippewa dwelled here, pardon the spelling I cant waste time, I tried sending a a message earlier and the computer jumped off the page, I guess thats what 60 dollars gets you... I really want to show you images of that rock, let me know if that is possible, I can send a little video or images or images of the angles with my friends iphone, I have no phone, don't go on social media other than this. about 25 years ago I was camping at that spot where they filmed the movie Tremors with Kevin Bacon lol I am bad with dates, lets just call it the past, the rock is driving me mad holding it trying to figure it out. I bet your opinion would ease the curious happy discomfort, lol sorry my friend. let me know. I watch other vids to feel like I am out west by WonderHussy, she does a great job, you and her take me out west. thanks.
dude some of the balls under the tufa dont look natural one looks like a fossilized pot and lid and another has a pattern in aboveground nature and im thinking this tufa could be tree roots they have patterns and not just one. the dry parts of an exposed root will dry and break
THANKS bro Alot!! Much love from denmark copenhagen Yeayea thats where Im today ;p

Wow, we all got to experience it together. You may want to stop moving the camera around so much because it's hard for us to see what you're trying to show us. Whenever you show a rock formation we can't fix our eyes on what you're trying to show us because you keep moving the camera back and forth because you're so excited to share something with us. Other than that, thanks very much for showing us something that 98% of us will never be able to see in person. Like you said, life was in abundance when the water Level was much higher. Can you imagine all of the trees, swamp grass, birds flying around, various animals all over the place and, of course, all the people living there with all the fish and animals to feed themselves with? Except for the 8 foot tall creatures capturing the people that live there and eating them, it must have been a real paradise.
They saw in to other dimensions due to fasting. They were trying to tell us to watch out for our souls. Some of the drawings are of bad spirits and some of good.
Thanks for watching the series. During my trek I did not see any rattlesnakes. I can't recall why I was time limited. Perhaps, the time of day or that I was also going to trek to Lovelock Cave which was several miles West of Leonard's Cave.........alex
Very cool. I have found many Petroglyphs and megaglyphs. On the ridge in Santa cruz. Solstas and equinox marks. Moon the sky, many more. utube....Davio22... Ancient Ohlmec or Ohlone Monuments, bird or cougar ?
if life was so abundant, why did they(red haired giants) resort to cannabalism?, eating the indians that resorted in thier death? assuming that the lovelock cave giants were here also here in leonards cave
I love watching your video's and have been to some of the sites. I don't think the petrogylphs are abstract art. I bet they are more of a hieroglyphs. Not a writing system, but symbols the ancients in the great basin knew exactly what they meant. Why else would the same symbols be at all these sites over the western united states if they did not have some meaning.
Marcus, thanks for watching and your comment. I have seen several of the bones recovered from the Lovelock Cave and they were not giants.......................alex
Thanks for watching and your comment. Leonard's rock shelter and Lovelock cave are both located on the same ridge and are neighbors to each other. Although radiocarbon dates are changing due to recent studies basketry twine from Lovelock Cave is at 10,000+ years old, which is the same approximate date for an object found at Leonard's...........alex
@@chelsrose2423 I've been there-To see it- the shore line of ancient lahontan is visibly above Leonard shelf, there has been studies published which also conclude the same.
Alex, SUPER COOL! I live in Lovelock and for the past 3 years I have explored many areas on my own. I found the caves you were at just driving and walking around that area.

Atlatl, "atetol sounds very different. atl-atl, or just the - tl -its tricky to master the technique to let - l-out of the tongue.
it appears that theres a river symbol next to the double atlattle. Maybe the combo meant "this way to food and water..."
Thank you. Great video! I am fascinated by petroglyphs. The connection with alkaline geology is very interesting. Perhaps medicinal materials were gathered there also. I wonder if there is a spring or water in the area.
I'm thinking there may have been a tribe that marked/claimed their shelter with that sign. Just guessing.

Glacier is a theory, it's more likely it was a flood like in ancient writings around the world.

Yeah no.

Please provide pictures of your finds.
I just visited marble canyon, was wondering if this video has anything to do with the legends of ancient Egyptians in land thousands of years ago?
Went to Lovelock cave today, wish I could see this one! The petroglyphs looked amazing 🤠
The petroglyph are a mile or less North of Lovelock cave along the same hill/mountain chain....look for those funny swallow looking birthnest formations......
Thanks for bringing me along for the discovery! Your enthusiasm and ability to identify what we're looking at made a mildly interesting trip into something much more fun and edifying. Thanks!
I guess Im pretty off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released series online?
Can you send me the coordinates to this ? Please.
Sites all over from around 10 bc. Right after the flood. I would really love to know where these people came from, and where they survived said disaster at.
now i wonder how much of the other drawings i could figure out ?
What did the ancient peoples use to draw the Petroglyphs with that allowed the picture to last on the rock and not fade after thousands of years?
Debbie, thanks for watching the series and your question. At Leonard's Cave what we observe are petroglyphs. Essentially, petroglyph are images carved into the stone by pecking, abrading, or incising into the stone. When we see ancient "painted" images they are called Pictographs...............alex

Hi Alex,
I visited Lovelock cave last week-it was great! I drove my Saturn, and the road was in great condition. After a bit of trial and error, I found Leonard's Cave, too. As you mentioned, I did have to hike a bit to get there, but what a reward! It is a very special place-I spent a couple of hours there exploring and just sitting, trying to imagine what it was like for the people who lived there when the area was a lush inland sea and marsh. Thanks for posting your videos!
Wonderous - brill job Alex. Do Native tribes still live round there ?
Ian, thanks for watching. Yes, there are native tribes in the area. There are 32 reservations/colonies in Nevada. This is a link to a map showing their location and names: nevadaindianterritory.com/map/
Thank you Alex. In England I watch ANCIENT ALIENS on TV and these kind of things are mentioned often there!
Britain was starting it's birth as a nation 1500 years ago yet these tribal peoples go back over 10,000 - WOW !!!
You may have had a 30 year old beer can there too as a museum piece - LOL !!!

Wow! Thank you for letting me come along on your journey. It gives me such a feeling of being one with the natural world and of the continuity of life.
You show your great love and respect for the ancients by leaving the arrowheads where you found them.
at 3.31 i see lightning bolt i see lots of water flowing over a cliff and down the river waves, i see the people in the waves and a house building below the people. after about ten days they wrote this. you never start writing bottom to top so the first thing they wrote was nine or ten days marks at the top scared had to write something .
Archaeologists all assumed that climate change was externally given. I, on the other hand, believe that human activities, especially agricultural activities, have transformed the landscape, destroyed vegetation, and hence changed climate! Arizona was initially a piece of fertile land full of vegetation. When there was vegetation, the area was much more humid and therefore had more precipitation. Destruction of land and vegetation results in a vicious cycle of reduced rainfall and even less vegetation.
They had recently proven after 40 years of experimentation that man has indeed ruined the land not by agriculture, but by lack of grazing animals. we have not only stopped mass herding, but also have killed off most large grazing animals like the American Bison etc. In Arizona one of their tests they tried bringing goats in the hundreds to a baron dry cracked earth property, 15 years later they had green grass, shrubs, and trees popping up all over.
great video thanks for sharing ,very interesting
Thanks for watching.......alex
You missed salt cave in the dead camels mountains....
superb video and commentary!
Thanks for watching and the kind words.....alex
Check out Goshute Caves
Is he perhaps saying "At- lattle"?
All nicely presented! Thanks for taking time to explain it all from your point.
Bowl shape lake, body water ?
Those glyphs are Trauma scribblings. The kind of scratches on the walls of the condemned cell. All those images exist here in Britain too. I see those glyphs in the sky most every day since 1989 as whispy clouds, looming larger day by day. They cover the whole sky now. Thousands have noticed and film them as vlog everyday, twice a day. Those lines were in the sky before. The same symbols exist Everywhere around the world. Belief is ever the mirage. Facts have no time for belief. None of us have time. The mesolithic peoples who left the glyphs here. Are long extincted by cataclysm.
ok......
Someone should go in there and excavate- awe that awesome history needs to be protected! Would be awesome to walk around and image what life was like back then. I could spend hours there.
Hayley, thanks for watching the series and your comments.............................alex
Reminds me of gigantic lung alveoli...Striking similarity!
12:08 looks like a half buried man made wall to me
yep
Thank you for this video🌱🙏
@12:08 isnt that a man made wall in the back of the cave, the stones look like they are stacked by man don't they? Do you think R1b1 was there, the red headed people?
there are tales of red headed giants in Ireland their rock carvings are identical to the ones all over America
Most motels in Lovelock are nine thousand... five hundred... years old.
Do you have Instagram thank U so much I appreciate
If I was in that cave nesting away for the night, there would be a lot more beer cans as I pondered the mystery, of course If I had my Terence theory ground medicine I would only have a few. Thanks you for these videos. I love them!
Tom, thanks for watching and your comments. It was a fun trek......alex
You bet, and I am sure it was fun, I miss it out west so bad it's hard to take, but I love this place mainly because lake superior, the ojibway, or chippewa dwelled here, pardon the spelling I cant waste time, I tried sending a a message earlier and the computer jumped off the page, I guess thats what 60 dollars gets you... I really want to show you images of that rock, let me know if that is possible, I can send a little video or images or images of the angles with my friends iphone, I have no phone, don't go on social media other than this. about 25 years ago I was camping at that spot where they filmed the movie Tremors with Kevin Bacon lol I am bad with dates, lets just call it the past, the rock is driving me mad holding it trying to figure it out. I bet your opinion would ease the curious happy discomfort, lol sorry my friend. let me know. I watch other vids to feel like I am out west by WonderHussy, she does a great job, you and her take me out west. thanks.
3:33 eerrie place....
Sacred more like !!!!
dude some of the balls under the tufa dont look natural one looks like a fossilized pot and lid and another has a pattern in aboveground nature and im thinking this tufa could be tree roots they have patterns and not just one. the dry parts of an exposed root will dry and break
THANKS bro Alot!! Much love from denmark copenhagen Yeayea thats where Im today ;p
Wow, we all got to experience it together. You may want to stop moving the camera around so much because it's hard for us to see what you're trying to show us. Whenever you show a rock formation we can't fix our eyes on what you're trying to show us because you keep moving the camera back and forth because you're so excited to share something with us.
Other than that, thanks very much for showing us something that 98% of us will never be able to see in person. Like you said, life was in abundance when the water Level was much higher. Can you imagine all of the trees, swamp grass, birds flying around, various animals all over the place and, of course, all the people living there with all the fish and animals to feed themselves with?
Except for the 8 foot tall creatures capturing the people that live there and eating them, it must have been a real paradise.
Pause the video to take a closer look
They saw in to other dimensions due to fasting. They were trying to tell us to watch out for our souls. Some of the drawings are of bad spirits and some of good.
Why was your time limited and did you run into rattle snakes poking around the caves?
Thanks for watching the series. During my trek I did not see any rattlesnakes. I can't recall why I was time limited. Perhaps, the time of day or that I was also going to trek to Lovelock Cave which was several miles West of Leonard's Cave.........alex
Thanks
Very cool.
I have found many Petroglyphs and megaglyphs. On the ridge in Santa cruz.
Solstas and equinox marks. Moon the sky, many more.
utube....Davio22... Ancient Ohlmec or Ohlone Monuments, bird or cougar ?
Nice cave
Pronouncing it wrong. Atl Atl, just as it is spelled is the annunciation.
They look like waterfalls which is what the rocks once were
looks like what could be big tree fossils
Great flood, Noah, gilgamesh, ?
:) I love it.. Thank You... for sharing
Bella, thanks for watching....alex
Gracias por compartir
Algo que Yo no conocía!
Dios te bendiga!
Good guy! 👌
Neil, thanks for watching. It was a fun journey...............alex
Hello young man
Not Tufa
That wasnt a hunting camp that was a hunters lodge lol
cool
if life was so abundant, why did they(red haired giants) resort to cannabalism?, eating the indians that resorted in thier death? assuming that the lovelock cave
giants were here also here in leonards cave
Si Te Cah --- means Tule eater but not cannibal. Tule is a plant.
I love watching your video's and have been to some of the sites. I don't think the petrogylphs are abstract art. I bet they are more of a hieroglyphs. Not a writing system, but symbols the ancients in the great basin knew exactly what they meant. Why else would the same symbols be at all these sites over the western united states if they did not have some meaning.
Tim, thanks for watching and your observations. I agree that these symbols had a meaning, which has been lost in time......alex
Anyone else get motion sickness
the symbol looks like some one had a baby by the clear smooth flowing river and more children later on left to right writhing
Yeti is the last thing that can read petroglyps and there not talking.
I'm Arapaho and it's 2018. We still use sign language. Just saying.
Vernon, thanks for watching and your comment..........................alex
They found red haired giants mummies in that cave
"AT-lah-tel."
hmm is this KENNY VEACH M CAVE CLUE
i think that one is a snake
Take the beer cans??to the garbage
Government is abstracted
*the giants from the lovelock cave were descendants of the Nephilim/giants in the bible*
Marcus, thanks for watching and your comment. I have seen several of the bones recovered from the Lovelock Cave and they were not giants.......................alex
Smith I bet
The elevation of this is.too low for it to be the same date as lovelock cave or grimes
Thanks for watching and your comment. Leonard's rock shelter and Lovelock cave are both located on the same ridge and are neighbors to each other. Although radiocarbon dates are changing due to recent studies basketry twine from Lovelock Cave is at 10,000+ years old, which is the same approximate date for an object found at Leonard's...........alex
... what makes you so sure? Ur too low on your elevation.. lol
@@chelsrose2423 as it would have been underwater- of lake lahontan! Lol
That's still a statement with no backing, but cool
@@chelsrose2423 I've been there-To see it- the shore line of ancient lahontan is visibly above Leonard shelf, there has been studies published which also conclude the same.
