I found these Giant Holes on a Cliff on Google Earth

  • A series of four huge, perfectly symmetrical holes in the ground were discovered using Google Earth. These have puzzled me for several years, and I have often wondered if there was any logical explanation for how they came to exist.
    I needed to find an answer, so I took off for this remote landscape and hiked into the Mars - like geology, where the truth was revealed to me.
    I was shocked at what I discovered....
    For all the other Star Wars fans out there- I was honestly amazed at how similar this was to the "Sarlacc Pit" from Tatooine.
    Thanks for watching this video, and if anyone has any sort of geologic expertise that can help me understand how these amazing landforms came to be created, I would love to hear from you in the comments.
    Stay tuned for a lot more like this!

      Frank who does exploring abandoned mines up in BC actually lost his similar looking dog when it ran ahead of him and fell down a deep mineshaft. Fell several hundred feet to it's death and he could not get to it. Sad because many viewers warned in earlier episodes that he should not be taking the dog underground. Also, the water can be very toxic with heavy metals and cadmium... and they will drink it (kidney failure risk). However in this desert pothole video the visibility is much better and it looks like the rock has plenty traction being rough grippy & not a slippery surface.

    These features are also on Comb ridge just outside of Kayenta on the Navajo Rez. They are in the middle of no where. You don't get how imposing these are on video. The ones on Comb Ridge have all sorts of bones and sheep carcasses on the bottoms. Usually have fetid water down there too. Anyways, they're so scary cause you KNOW that if you fall in...there's no getting out and if you didn't tell anyone where you went hiking, no one will find you...until they see your bones at the bottom.

Maybe it could tell us what the environment was like during this places payday where there was probably very large amounts of water. Trillobite fossils would probably be very common along with other shellfish fossils.

      "The holes in the sandstone, caused by a combination of weathering and erosion, are called 'tafoni.' They can be formed in different ways, but often when you see straight lines of holes like the ones pictured here it's because that particular layer of sandstone wasn't cemented together as tightly over the years. The weaker layers allow water to flow through and dissolve more of the rock, resulting in holes and hollow pockets."

Only that can explain the perfect symmetry of all the cavities being formed. I presume some layers contain shells from past sea creatures which will dissolve when in contact with slightly acidic water.

      Only problem with this theory is that there weren't any of these eroding stones left at the bottom. I would imagine they would still remain, as sandstone would surely erode away much faster than the circular stone. Perhaps this is a result of the Glacial melt.

      I think I know the answer. I read that people USED to think it was rocks swirling in rain water, but it turns out, it's caused by sediments and sand (and possibly small pebbles) rubbing. And that same source said that people USED to think that it took millions of years, but it actually takes just a couple of years (I imagine you'd need the right conditions for it to only take two years though).

    Those are literally water worn, there are similar looking examples in limestone in the banks of rivers here in the UK but the biggest ones are only maybe 5feet across. the water gets in to a crack or slight depression and starts to turn, then gravel accumulates and gets spun round by the water slowly grinding the walls away.... All of those dinks and divots are just places where gravel fell out of the silt as the hole wore away.

    There used to be a massive Lake somewhere by this place. It was probably being fed by Springs and Rivers etc.. all of that was probably dammed up by a glacier Leftover from the last ice age.
    One day the Glacier Dam gave way. It was holding back the water of the lake that may have been 200- 300+ ft deep. We are talking about a lake bigger than the Great Lakes in North America.
    When it burst free, it cut holes in the ground from high pressure & it also created the landscape of that area.

    This landform was caused by flowing water and water-saturated hardening sediment late in the Deluge. Notice the holes in the sides of the rock - water flow out of the body of the rock. The large holes were caused by hardened rock being spun by heavy flowing water. The rock may have fractured and remain at the bottom of the opening.

    You can find these same formations around niagara falls. Once you get some sand in hole caused by water erosion, the sand can swirl around without being pushed out by water as its heavier. The hole gradually gets wider and deeper and more larger rocks get swept inside by water and grind away, mostly at the bottom because rocks sink.

      The amount of voltage required to do this is significantly higher than what lighting can deliver, and it would have turned into glass if it happened that quickly. I think it's water erosion, going down through cracks in the rock like they do in glaciers, although over a much longer timeframe. This also fits with the dried mud soil found in the bottoms of each of them. You can see potential new holes forming in layers on the mountainside above them.

    I remember seeing a special on PBS about Niagara Falls, and they went to an old area that it had flowed over hundreds if not thousands of years ago. Same type of formation. But in the holes were hundreds of perfectly round stones, left high and dry. When Niagara was in that area, the stones were spun by the water in depressions until they carved the hole. Once Niagara moved on elsewhere, the holes and the stones were left behind. Something like this might have happened here. There might be stones under the dirt at the bottom. There wouldn’t need to be very many to carve it….

      They are air bubbles, all that rock was once mud in a giant flood, it was must have been an extremely fast and massive flood of water and mud to capture so much air below the surface. Over time the mud settled around the air bubbles and turned to stone. The air remained until erosion liberated it. Who knows how long ago this flood happened but one thing is certain, it must have been devastating.

    These are potholes, albeit very big ones. They're formed by a biofilm that slowly eats the rock, and also makes the hole able to hold water. After a rain, it's common to find ponds in these holes that contain brine shrimp (sea monkeys). The ones I've seen aren't quite as big as this, but they were also in granite, so perhaps it takes longer for the biofilm to eat away at it.

    You’re way too casual with your dog, why did you let him go close to that hall? If he fell in there’s no way you’re gonna get him out. You need to be more concerned about your dog

    More proof of the global flood during Noah's age.
    I like to take seeds with me to plant along the way. There's always the right seed of a plant that will survive in your area. When I lived along the coast, I would scatter western palm seeds and date palm 🌴 seeds. I also planted bananas 🍌 around fresh water ponds. If we all hiked and planted seeds, we'd have a nicer home for ourselves.

    I'm surprised you two didn't fall an die, with no one around to help. I'n new to your channel, but would love to accompany, if I had the opportunity to. Stay safe!!!
