Beautiful images.
I worked on the Dine' Rez and Hopi Mesas for years and regularly drove through the Shiprock formation from West to East on Hwy. 64 (as shown at 04:16 , but in a Bridgford truck, then Sparkletts) after delivering in Teec Nos Pos, then turning North on Hwy. 666 (later 491) toward the town of Shiprock before proceeding to Farmington, NM, Aztec... .
It was always an impressive sight. Nice to see from the Eagle's eye view
Great Vids. I went to the Richat Structure twice. I've found a lot of similar stuff. I'm going to Shiprock in about a week.
Hey brother! You’ll love Shiprock! Leave an entire day at least for it cause it’s so worth it and it’s a massive size/area! I saw you went out to Richat! I’d love to hear about that sometime! Must have been an absolute adventure!
Visit Aztec Ruins, 43 miles from Shiprock, while in the vicinity.
Consider also Chaco Canyon.
@@-oiiio-3993 After this great drone work, I'll just drive past. It matches other ridges that are all over New Mexico . I'll check out Aztec Ruins.
I could provide you with an interesting itenerary for your visit to the area if you like to drive.
Distances between sites are vast, give it several days or more to properly explore. Are your interests geologic or cultural?
@@stig To "drive past" on 491 provides a broadside view. To drive _through_ the formation on Indian Road 64 is to drive _through_ it.
The entire Northern AZ / NW New Mexico area (Colorado Plateau) has a wide variety of geologic formations as well as cultural sites, some well known and others not.
Research Meteor Crater (where I was a tour guide), Wupatki, Lomaki, Sunset Crater, Coliseum Maar, the entire area around Dilkon, vast geologic folds along IR 12 above Lupton, the Hopi Mesas, stay at Gallup's El Rancho... .
wow... that looks like a legit artificial wall! Amazing, thanks for sharing.!
Mike that land just goes on forever. Some really beautiful coverage❤
Thank you! It’s such an incredible area!
man this wall is so crazy, it's look *Natural & Manmade* all at the same time ... the consistent thickness and level height of the wall in certain areas is what makes it look hand built and/or manipulated IMO. another amazing video Mike, thanks for all you do, I live vicariously through you until I can afford one of these trips!
Thank you! Yes, such an interesting site and so full of incredible details everywhere!
From the 'net:
Shiprock Geology
Geology. Shiprock, an example of a volcanic neck, is composed of fractured volcanic breccia and black dikes of igneous rock called minette, a type of lamprophyre. It is the erosional remnant of the throat of a volcano, and the volcanic breccia formed in a diatreme.
You do absolutely epic work brother
Thank you 🙏
WOW!! breathtaking, makes my heart sing- thank you!
Thank you for watching!
4:46 I think that's where Mr. Stringfellow Hawk kept the Airwolf helicopter. lol
Wow wow wow wow WOW!!! phenomenal footage. I see it.
It is a geologic formation.
Thank you!
JRR Tolkien and The Lord of the Rings looking, especially with that mountain looking like a castle. The wall was for Keeping the giants out. Jk
Absolutely incredible.
If i were to pick a place to dig, the break in the wall at around 2:22 seems a good spot. Looks like where a road would have passed through, with the two sections of wall about parallel with each other.
And all that water damage.. Idk the geological history of the area, but it definitely looks like an old, massive, lake bed, with all that lateral erosion. So, I'm guessing this is one of the areas the glacier waters collected post-Younger Dryas, especially if all that surrounding the wall and outcrops is gravel.
Thanks for the vid!
Thank you! I appreciate the support 🙏
@@WanderingWolf Easy to watch from home, thanks again for making the trip!
Dig for what?
@@-oiiio-3993 Well, it all starts with pottery shards, eh? Anything the dig uncovers would provide some insight into our forgotten history, but even just the remnants of a road would be fascinating. Then along any road, you can find some traces left behind by the people who traveled it, especially after that potential road had been buried for some thousands of years.
Yes, you are "guessing", and you are wrong.
Research the geology of the area.
Thank you for showing us another Giant ancient mega wall
It is a natural geologic formation.
Thanks! It would be interesting to use ground penetrating radar on this area. Cheers!
Why?
It's volcanic.
@@-oiiio-3993 It is volcanic. But the indigenous people refer to this site as 'sacred'. Why would this area be sacred and cut-off from exploration? That's my only curiosity on the subject. Cheers!
@@kerryketcheson8145 From the 'net:
Specifically, Shiprock, known to the Navajo as Tsé’bǐtaǐ, (Winged Rock), is mentioned in
three separate cultural tales. The first mention occurs in the third chapter of the Origin Legend, the second in Navajo Blessing chants and the third is a colloquial tale regarding the rescue of the Navajo people from their enemies.
The third chapter of the Origin Legend describes the conception, birth and adventures of “the monster slayers”, “When First Man and First Woman discovered a girl baby on top of Huerfano Mesa, the Holy People raised her. Named Changing Woman, she gave birth to the Sun’s twins, Monster Slayer and Child Born of Water. They slew the cannibals and performed legendary deeds, and the land remembered them”
Peter Novak
The twins sought their father, and after proving their identity, asked his help in slaying the anáye, or monsters, who destroyed their people. These monsters were said to symbolize the transgressions of the women in the fourth world, when they were separated from the men (Matthews, 1994). The Sun gave them clothing of pes (iron), and four arrows composed of chain-lightning, sheet lightning, a sunbeam and a rainbow. With these arrows, they decapitated the monster Yéitso. His head rolled to the east of Tsótsǐl and his blood flowed across the valley.
The twins then parted ways as Nayénĕzgani, the elder son, left to slay the Tse’nă’hale, the monsters who dwelled at Tsé’bǐtaǐ (Winged Rock)ii. Tales tell that Winged Rock was originally a bird (Correspondence at Shiprock). The son was swept onto Winged Rock in the Tse’nă’hale’s talons, and dropped upon a ledge. This fall did not kill the son, for he was carrying a life-feather. Instead, he hid along the ledge and awaited the Tse’nă’hale’s return. When the monsters returned, the son slay them with his lightning arrows, and then transformed the young Tse’nă’hales into eagles and owls. Different variations of this story describe Shiprock transforming from a giant bird itself. The radial dikes are described as wings of the bird or blood of the slayed monsters (Carl Slater, oral correspondence).
Mentions of Shiprock also occur in the Navajo Blessing chants. In these chants, the Chuska Mountain range comprises the body of Yo’díDzil (Goods of Value Mountain). Chuska Peak is the head of this figure, while the Carrizos are his lower extremities and Beautiful Mountain is his feet. Shiprock is the medicine pouch or bow that he carries (Lindford, 2000).
This figure is the male counterpart to Pollen Mountain, comprised of Navajo Mountain, Black Mesa and other features. Aside from this mention in Navajo Places: History, Legend, Landscape, little is known about the significance of Shiprock and other mountain formations in the Navajo Blessing Chants.
Another mention of Shiprock potentially relates to the uplift of the Colorado Plateau,
“A long time ago they tell that the Navajo were hard pressed by the enemy. One
night their medicine men prayed for the deliverance of their tribe. Their prayers
were heard by the Gods. The earth rose, lifting the Navajos and it rose like a
great wave into the east. It settled where Shiprock now stands. This is the way
they escaped from their enemies”
--Laurence D. Lindford.
@@-oiiio-3993 thank you for sharing this!
@@justinefarrow3972 Glad to share.
That looks like some Game of Thrones type shit! 😮
I would build my castle on top in the center.
Not a chance. Shiprock is sacred land.
@@-oiiio-3993 oi, use your imagination.
@@Granite You'll fly your dragon to the top?
@@-oiiio-3993 Sure would.
Nice bro 😊
🙏
Eine Wahnsinns Landschaft, sehr Interessant das Video. 😎👍🏻
Awesome video
Thank you!
You welcome
I won't be surprised below these desert buried well be ancient cities. One can tell this whole area was made desolate. And what's left.. Is the ancient magalithic wall
The large structure is the remains of a giant tree. Smaller tree remains nearby (smaller but still giants compared with our current trees) Wonder if that long, spine like structure is a root of the larger tree? Wish I knew.
Sure all look like naturally formed land features, but are they similar to that possible man made wall, dug up in the SW USA some decades ago?
It is a geologic formation.
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Dishes.
Dishes who?
_Dish iss Nav' jo P'leece. You're under aress!_
What's this? A wall? I'm confused
Probably a wall created by ancient mining slurry.
@@stig Not at all, and vastly larger.

@@-oiiio-3993 Sorry, I've seen these intelligently arranged by intelligent beings. I'm afraid I'm not going to align with your mainstream narrative on this one. These volcanic dikes are found controlling ancient rivers and defying geological laws. I don't think you'll be interested, but I've done years of videos on all this. They are really old around here. Older than Atlantis.
@@stig Don't tell me you're a 'Mud Flooder'.
When have you seen "intelligent beings" create volcanic rifts?
These formations are volcanic, pure and simple.
@@-oiiio-3993 no I'm not a mud flooder and I'm not a mudfossiler.
Great video 👍👍. Can't believe it is man made.
It is not.

Ja!

@@a.m.g.u.f.o.642 The Southern Sierra Nevada of California, near Sequoia National Park.
My Bavarian ancestor was from Rotham, near Steinach, Bayern.
Most diffently NAGA!!!
Looks like a petrified tree stump, and the ridge is what’s left of the tree after it fell.
They need explosives lidar like in the jurasic park movie, shoot a shockwave through the ground and see what refracts back to the reciever because IF its manmade all the preserved construction is buried in that layer of crushed rock, if manmade what were they doing, such a gigantic effort, for nature and man, needs explanation badly
It doesn't seem to do much of anything. 😐
What were you expecting?
🤣
The Shiprock monument is on NATIVE AMERICAN LAND and anyone TRESSPASSING might be met with HOSTILE NATIVES and or the TRIBAL POLICE. Sadly, It's not a tourist attraction.
Lmao WATCH OUT FOR HOSTILE AMERICANS WE HAVE GUNS AND WE DEFEATED THE INDIANS.
@@ronblare7972 No, you haven't.
I worked on the Dine' Rez and Hopi Mesas for decades.
Best humans I have ever dealt with. Respect begets respect. Your attitude is met in kind.
