Your voice is what makes your videos so interesting Steve. You could do children audio books to help them relax at night. You have a soothing sound to your voice.
Thanks Patti, as long as I don’t put viewers to sleep I guess that’s a good thing lol. 😊
Zzzzzzzzzzz
Steve merry Christmas to you and your husband
Family

Thank you Donald that’s very nice of you to say. And merry Christmas to you and your family too. 😊🎄👍
History fact,Campbell was declared the winner to be Arizonas 1st governor but then Hunt who ran against him took the results to court and was declared to be the Governor of Arizona. Little known fact.
Thanks for sharing that fun bit of trivia with us Art. 😊👍
Thanks Art
Interesting fact. And still taking results to court in Arizona today!
I remember seeing that white pyramid from a distant at the Phoenix Zoo and didnt realized much later it belong to an Arizona Governor
Your channel has given me so much joy as well as knowledge, Steve. I pounce the minute I know you have uploaded once more. May I wish you, and all those you love, a happy and peaceful Christmas and look forward to meeting you once again in 2023
That’s so nice of you to say Avril. Merry Christmas to you too. 😊🎄👍
I know, I spend my Sunday's with Steve! ❤💯🍎

What a great view, I never knew about this, Cheers !
Cheers to you Buck 👍
Steve amazing video my friend keep up the sensational job
Thanks BA 👍
WOW! This is impressive. Like always, this video was interesting.
Glad you enjoyed it Renee 👍
Merry Christmas very interesting. I showed my husband your channel and I said you give so much respect to the grave sites on those who passed on. Thank you.
Thank you so much Stephanie!
Interesting information Steve. In 1881, the year "The old walrus" arrived in Globe Arizona, a few miles South things were getting scary in a silver mining town culminating in the October 26th 1881 Shootout at the OK corral. Also, the pyramids at Giza originally were totally covered in blinding white limestone. The native inhabitants later scavenged the limestone for their uses. It was written, I believe by Herodotus, the brilliant shine of the pyramids could be discerned leagues away at sea. Just saying.
Interesting story and a very unique burial site.☺️
Steve excellent video me and my wife love you in Penna. Thumbs up
Thanks so much Alex 😊🎄👍
Love that video, Jim, so interesting I love pyramids too. I’m fascinated by the Egyptian culture.
Hunt was real smart man Thank sharing this Steve
Very interesting. Thank you, Seasons Best to you and Jim
Thank you Will and the same to you and yours!

Yes thanks for sharing this. I live in Phoenix and have beed to the zoo only once. Lovely at night too.
Interesting upload.
Thanks for sharing, Steve
Merry Christmas to you and Jim have a wonderful holiday!!
Thank you Sarah and the same to you and yours! 😊🎄👍
How Cool so many times I go through phoenix I never seen it thank you for sharing next time I go through I will go see it 👍
Thank you Steve
He also lost his governorship after being sworn in because his opponent Campbell contested the election results and after the court proceedings, Campbell was declared the de facto governor. (So little has changed in Arizona in a 10O years evidently.)
My grandma was a DAR member and FFV too. They arrived here with the pilgrims.
Thanks for sharing that with us Anthony. So that means you’re a son of the American revolution right? I just attended wreaths across America yesterday and it was sponsored by the daughters of the American Revolution. I will be sharing that video tomorrow. Thanks for sharing this with us. 👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel I guess so? My dad's family came over from Italy in the mid 1800's but my mom's family came from England in the early 1600's (and you and I share a lineage as they were Stewart's and Robinsons and Deckards.)
Always been fascinated with pyramids too Steve…that was a doozy 👌
Is her is RB 😊👍
Hi Steve!Great video Steve ! Merry Christmas !
Thank you Patti And merry Christmas to you too! 😊🎄👍
I agree that the view from and the setting in Papago Park is beautiful. Also enjoy spending the day at the Phoenix Zoo and climbing up to Hole in the Rock.

Steve Great 👍 👌 👏
Fantastic!
Merry Christmas to you and Jim. Much love
Thank you Rosemarie And the same to you and your family. 🎄😊👍
As a Phoenix resident, I often walk and hike through Papago Park. I've seen this pyramid only from a distance, gleaming in the sun. After watching this, I'm inspired to get a closer look. Thanks for posting this video.
So very cool!!!
What a unique and different, shall I say, tombstone? Very interesting, Dave ❣️ Thank you ❣️😊🎄
I live about 20 minutes from this pyramid. I have recently moved to San tan valley and will have to go and visit site. Thanks Mr. Steve.
If I ever make it to Phoenix I'll visit his grave. It's such a unique tomb and place
Beautiful scenery 😍😍.
Wow Steve you've added another one to my list! first Laci Rocha on my way to Arizona and now I'll be stopping here when I get to Arizona. thanks!
Very interesting. Been to Phoenix but never knew about this.
He was born in babalona moved to Arizona got a condo made of stona king Hunt
A Pyramid! That’s interesting, it is beautiful and memorable. As for being buried in one, I would really have to think about it. It’s definitely a talking point. The fact that you can see the city from the hilltop is amazing. Thank You Steve for sharing another great video. You never cease to amaze us with something new and different! Blessings to You and Jim. Merry Christmas 🎄 and Happy Holidays!
Thank you Nancy and the same to you and your family! 😊🎄👍
I live right down the street from there. Great place for daily hikes whenever possible
Wow that is beautiful Rest in Peace to the departed.
Really cool!
THANK YOU STEVE BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL VIDEO 😊😊😊😊
Thanks for watching Rahim!
Sure is a beautiful pyramid
I absolutely love the pyramid, we have several in Ireland really beautiful but falling apart..I keep seeing freemasons were mostly the group who used them for mausoleums. Interesting Steve, thanks. Happy Holidays/Christmas to you and Jim. 🇮🇪❤️
Hey Steve that was such a beautiful view you showed us and people are buried in some unique places.
Final resting place is like these are my favorites. Glad you enjoyed seeing it too Syreeta 👍
so cool thanks for this steve hope u have a good christmas and a good 2023
Thanks David and the same to you 😊🎄👍
A view from the UK. Hi Steve, just a note to wish you, Jim and all the family happy holidays and a wonderful and peaceful new year. Keep doin watch'ya do big boy as i'm still really enjoying your vids.x
Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Thank you Kelly and the same to you and yours. 😊👍
Wow cool
HI STEVE ,, VERY INTERESTING,, GREAT PLACE TO BE WHEN YOU PASS ON ,,YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO BE BUIRED IN EGYPT OR GO IT'S HERE AND AT NIGHT YOUR IN LIGHT'S .. THANK'S KEEP THE VIDEO'S ROLLING IN..
That has to be one of the most beautiful "monuments", headstones, and gravesites that I have ever seen. The picture of it a night is simply breathtakingly beautiful. I am surprised that many others haven't thought to emulate it. It is stunning! I visited POTUS #41's gravesite (The Bush's) at their Library in College Station, TX and I thought it was really pretty but it is absolutely nothing as spectacular as Hunt's gravesite.
What a pretty sight thank you for all the great videos and all the great information you do a fantastic job happy holidays to you and your family take care
Hi Steve love the video and the story you tell you are a sweet guy Merry Christmas
great video sir
That is an awesome sight.
I agree Tracy 👍
If I'm out that way I'll be sure to look it up
Very familiar with this, I live in Phoenix. When you live here, this is one of the things you have to do besides seeing the Grand Canyon, tubing the Salt River, visit the Phoenix Zoo, etc.
I've been in the great pyramid at Giza, its a long low tunnel to get to the center where an empty sarcophagus sits. Very claustrophobic. Reportedly they were covered in white tiles, but were removed to build houses.
Omg, that’s awesome Norman. I always wanted to visit, but I just got too dangerous and now I know longer fly, so I just have to enjoy the pyramid mausoleums that I find here in the US. so glad to hear that you were able to have that experience though. I’m envious! 😊👍
If you love pyramids. You need to visit Arzona's only other Pyramid tomb.... and (like Gov. Hunt's) it is also listed on the National Register of Historical places...
I refer you to the burial Pyramid of "Hi Jolly" in Quartzite Arizona... A rather interesting chap. Hi Jolly was responsible for bringing the first herd of Camels to Arizona under contract to the U.S. Army..... The rest? I'll let you discover as you wander through the hot, dusty, Quartzite cemetary, and enjoy the wonderful center piece that is the Hi Jolly burial pyramid.............
For directions? Just ask pretty much anyone in town (tourists, and locals alike.. where to find "Hi Joly"......
Holy cow; what an interesting, and relatively unknown, piece of US history! Hi Jolly and the ill-fated US Army "Camel Corps." Thank you for mentioning that.
Welcome to my neck of the woods, I used to run to the tomb from my high school which is about 5 miles from the tomb. I is beautiful at night.
Governor Hunt was certainly an intelligent and self-made man...and a very progressive politician. He was also a notably interesting figure in the developing West. Moreover, his mausoleum of choice was quite unique.
Yes, he seem to be very progressive and liberal, which I wasn’t expecting for some reason. In my experience it seems that the majority of wealthy people tend to be the opposite. Thanks for sharing that Zing 👍
Hey Steve, Nicholas Gage has a pyramid in New Orleans, waiting on him . Thank you ☮️🖖🏼
I’ve always said, when I die, BURY ME IN A PYRAMID!!!!!
I think it's beatiful and glad some one had the nerve to do this
Me too Velda 👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel ❤🩹❤🩹
That's okay Steve, you would just need a smaller pyramid. A real money saver! 😁
Interesting video. Saw the Nicholas Gage pyramid mausoleum he has ready for him in New Orleans.
This video was filmed last April on the first day of my road trip. A week and a half later I saw Nicolas Cage is pyramid in New Orleans. But hunts was my first white pyramid. Actually now that I think about it there’s a white pyramid at Hollywood forever cemetery, so I guess hunts was my second white pyramid. Thanks for sharing Mitchell. 😊👍
You’re in my neck of the woods in this video
Right by the Zoo....Can't Miss it ..
Hi again Steve! I don't know if are aware or not, but this looks much like Nicholas Cage's pyramid grave he had made. It's nine feet tall and inscribed with the Latin words “omnia ab uno”, which means “Everything from One." It's in the St. Louis Cemetery No. 1
New Orleans, Louisiana.
As much as I love New Orleans and travel there as much as I can afford, you’d think I knew about Mr. Cage’s pyramid. I didn’t. Thank you.
@@marthamiller-plumb1059 You are welcome.
I wonder back then the cost and what it would be today.....Thanks Steve
I would love to know too Dennis!
As a kid when we went to the Zoo, we would go to the Pyramid!" Thanks for my childhood memories Steve! LOL!
How fun Mike. Thanks for sharing that memory with us!
I lived in Phoenix and one of the main streets there is Hunt Highway.
Hunt was a good man, a reformer and a Democrat he was against capital punishment, supporting child labor laws , was pro union to get better wages and benifits. , supported worker’s compensation, and old age pensions.
When I see tombs like that I can’t help but wonder how they are spending their eternity
👍👍👍🔥🔥
Welcome!
Oh wow a pyramid I wonder what it looks like on the inside it’s interesting but like you I’m going to be cremated and placed in the grave where my mother and father is good job Steve. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎁 AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎈🎊
Good Morning , Steve
🎄🎅Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas 🎅🎄Thank you so for sharing this very Interesting Information with us , God richly bless you all ! .
🙏 12 / 18 / 2022 🙏
Happy holidays and merry Christmas Pam! ⛄️🎄😊👍
merry Christmas. I see your in shorts. When did you do this video.
That’s different, I haven’t thought about how or where I’m gonna be buried.
been there decades ago when moved to the valley of my son.
Haha valley of son
Well that's new & different 😳 have a zoo below your cemetery and a pyramid. I hadn't 👀 or considered that one.
Pretty sad to pass over Christmas time. Do you have any videos of your Sydney visit? I am getting cerimated but would like to have my ashes spun into some sort of art something like stain glass wind chime or even like those sand pictures or lava lamp but with my ashes. If I can donate my hardware in my spine fusion I will donate that. Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas and amazing New Year
Hi Michelle, yes I do have some footage from Australia. Since it’s more like home movies I will share it on the other channel at some point. And that sounds like a pretty creative way to share your ashes with friends and family. Thanks for sharing with us and merry Christmas to you too! 🎄😊👍
The old pyramid of Giza had white exterior at some point
I would prefer an 18th Dynasty Valley of the Kings style burial at the far end of a decorated 600 foot long dead end tunnel complex. 😐
Let's just hope that the pallbearers don't get lost, as it could be quite a long and tiring journey from the hearse.
Lol 😂👍
That is neat Steve 👌. I'm having a hard time I lost my Arnold Dec the nineth after a battle with cancer and kidney failure 😢 he is on the right side of my profile picture he is a beagle dog and would be twelve years old Xmas day my vet did everything in her power to save him but it just wasn't to be I'm broken hearted 😢 for sure
So sorry for your loss David. 😢 I know that losing a pet is sometimes more difficult than losing a human family member. Thanks for sharing his memory with us here. I know there are a lot of pet lovers I watch this channel and will send you their love. 💙
It would be interesting to open up the crypts to see if the so-called pyramid energies have done anything. If I recall correctly, the pyramid has to be built to very specific plans and face a very specific direction.
I looked him up and found he was a Freemason and a Oddfellow, I think pyramids were popular in the early part of the 1900s there's a granite pyramid for a old ranching family is in near me in Rocklin California , originally it was on the ranch , now very close to a Country club golf course
I think I’ve seen videos of it. I love pyramid Muslims. Thanks Califdad 👍
@@TheGraveyardChannel i think you mean mausoleum. I had trouble too, spell check kept trying to change it to Muslim
👍
I want a green/ natural burial
RIP
