    Ok, Thank you all. Cant believe how far I missed the mark on the pounds -per-cubic - foot weight of sandstone ☠☠☠Turns out these things are WAY heavier than I calculated. On a magnitude of 12x. The first object weighs closer to 1,354,500 lbs, about the same weight as a Giant Crane. The second object probably weighs 5,356,800 lbs which is about the weight of 4-5 Giant Cranes.

      @@XboxOriginal1321 Thank YOU so much for your comment. I have been where you are in mind and spirit. Life can be very challenging! It took me a long time and a lot of tough experiences to realize that even my seemingly insignificant life can be helpful to someone else. It seems we all have a basic need to matter, to make a difference somehow, to have a purpose. It's hard to feel one's purpose when we have so many barriers in our way. Right? I have learned to think of my barriers as channels instead. Channels that guide my energy into where it needs to be. I have come to believe my life is meant for being thankful and having a good spirit. Thankfulness has taught me many things and brought me great blessings, like YOU! Others may have the ability to make a larger impact but my little service can be part of the glue that helps hold us all together in times of trouble. I send you a big warm squeezy hug and encourage you to hang on tight! Every little thing's gonna be alright. Thank you for helping me reflect on my blessings! I absolutely LOVE moments like this. ❤️

    I went out to this formation in the mid 1970's while a student at UNM. This area has been studied by geologists and geo students more than a few times. Am sure there is a PhD thesis or two which examines the sandstone, the under laying formation and what it went through over time with pressures. There are lots of examples across the planet of fracturing along , more or less, angular lines then movement occurred as underlying formations shifted. You make a cool video and get people thinking about the real world that surrounds us.
    A note: stone masons have split sandstone along angular lines for millennia. Some sandstone's split that way be it small or massive.

      What always captures my imagination are the forces that cause these huge blocks to separate and fall from the formation. Water and freezing temps. Water seeps into the initial hairline crack, freezes causing expansion of water into ice and pushes on the block, moving it away ever so slightly. Ice melts, more water enters crack, freezes, pushes block. It's referred to as freeze-thaw erosion. Eventually gravity is the greater force that tumbles the block.

    This was clearly the most interesting thing I’ve seen today. Had no idea such a place existed - absolutely spectacular. I live in Rockwall, Texas named for an odd and once supposedly ancient wall unearthed in the 1850s and later supposedly confirmed to be a completely natural geologic phenomenon. Perhaps what you discovered is similar but on a colossally grander scale. I love the shot where doggo is watching the drone.

      I am well aware that indigenous tribes explored the whole of North America many thousands of years before Europeans arrived. My comment was intended to say "the first European explorers, the mountain men, who came after the Lousanna purchase". I assumed the words, ""mountain men" would be enough, but I errored. Please note the phrase, "the mountain men". I should have placed a comma after the word "men" to be clear. Some should read the entire script before jumping to conclusions and trying to find errors. @@WRLDWIDEWEST

I've been watching a lot of stuff about ancient aliens and giants and ancient civilisations and this to me, looks like yet more evidence of an ancient pre--flood / glacial civilisation involving giants and lost technology we don't know about today. That just looks like a quarry no doubt about it. Even the petroglyphs look similar to those found in Sinai. Look up ancient pre--flood megaliths, you'll find loads of similar advanced technology stonework all over the planet.

      Its natural. The straight edge 'blocks' you see in this video are caused by water seeping into cracks and then freezing, causing stress fractures which make these flat planes. from there its just a matter of weathering an a hell of a lot of time to have them fall.

      Though I don't deny the obvious fact that there are geologic processes at work here, it would be a misnomer to state that these rock formations are natural or geologically formed. Clearly, these mirror the ancient megaliths found the world over from Egypt, South and Central America, Central Asia, China, Greece,... Even Vietnam. This is one of the most incredible sites I've ever seen, to be honest. You had not only evidence of ancient stonework of cutting out giant symmetrically perfect cubes from the hillside, but also a dolmen head, at the same site. And you also had ancient hieroglyphs. This site is absolutely fantastic. These are not ancient American Indians, these are pre younger dryas impact event megalithic structures... Unknown in both date and origin. But that impact event was 12,800 years ago. And it ended the ice age, in a virtual blink of the eye. These particular megaliths, with the dolmen head, could literally be hundreds of thousands of years old.

  • @nanaandbump.
    @nanaandbump. 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +113

    Those "coral" stones are likely just the same sandstone that's all around, but with a mineralized layer of what I believe is calcite that has created a kind of shell over the sandstone. I had it explained by a geologist once ages ago, so I may be wrong saying calcite... But if you were to look at the cliff right where you saw those, I would wager you could find more of that stuff as well as evidence of water. You find those "shells" often on cliff faces where you can tell there used to be a drainage of sorts. I believe the water deposits minerals on the sandstone as it moves over it, and over time this hard layer builds up, often with little annoying bumps for some reason. (I'm a rock climber, and that stuff hurts when its on your hold!) I think its a similar idea to how stalactites / stalagmites form in caves. In some spots, you can see the shell layer has broken away from the sandstone, and you can even grab little flakes of it if it's loose enough. So I would guess that those rocks you found on the ground either fell off of the cliff, or were dripped on, or perhaps were sitting in a puddle of mineral rich water for ages.
    All that being said, in certain high areas in the desert like that you can indeed find ancient sea life! I see it most often in limestone. There are little shells and mini "shark jaws" stuck in the rock sometimes 7-8k+ feet above see level! Nature is so cool.

    Standing at the edge of the cliff looking down you can see what happened there. You filmed this on top of a massive geological uplift, right at the edge of the uplift. Isostacy clearly pushed the high ground straight upward and that caused massive earthquakes. The sandstone is very uniform in density and shock waves from the upward Isostatic force caused the uniform fractures. The uniformity originates from a 90* force emanating from beneath the earths crust. Gravitational forces dont do twists and turns. Very interesting footage, the landscape is fascinating.

      @Sailor376also 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@user-hb1ve6mc6f Interesting. Strictly natural, no question. I may even be able to guess why and how. A guess, based upon personal observation. I have traveled that area a few times,, mostly via canoe on the river. Trust me,, traveling at the astronomical pace 2+ mph, you have lots of time to think. That same regularly broken plateau covers thousands of square miles. Bring your google maps or Google Earth to look at the Confluence of the Colorado and the Green Rivers, you will see that same corrugation and the fractures in the same or similar directions. And,, if traveling I-70 somewhere near Grand Junction,, I don't remember exactly where. Earthquakes ripple ground like waves on the ocean. It has been reported many times, people looking across a flat expanse can see the waves as the Earth undulates. The waves are a regular spacing,, such that a 5 story building, or a 10 story or 15 story building, develop a rhythm,, every 50 feet or 5 stories. A 7 story building will survive an earthquake that demolishes a 5 story building.
      Take a rigid flat plate and ripple it into waves, I can easily imagine fractures regular at half the wave length, the rock gets bent from peak to peak with a trough in the middle. 21.5 X 2 MIGHT imply a 43 foot wave form. Fractured in the other direction,, my first guess is a separate earthquake. It IS of interest to note,, that approximate fracture direction? NE to SW is perhaps exactly perpendicular the to dinosaur killing event of 68 million years ago,, the impact that formed the Chixalub (sp?) Crater. The strike was so fierce it rippled the earth in waves like a storm at sea. A guess. (With a very high probability of being correct.)
      That interesting feature along I-70 ? Earthquakes can semi liquefy the earth. Sand 'blows' are a common occurrence. A sand blow is like a temporary sand geyser. At that point along I-70 is a line, approx north/south of sand hills,, all the same size. The earthquake that could have created that line of sand blows,, must have been huge.
      Something I just looked up Hudson Bay, northern Canada. There is a strike crater there.. scientists will say it could not possibly be,,, but sorry, no,, the shape is too exactly a meteor strike crater 350 miles in diameter. Sanikilauq And it IS almost exactly at right angles to the fractures from the Chixalub Crater to that point in the Southwest.
      Those fractures are from an earthquake,, a very, very, very large earthquake.
      Oh. I should have said. I do some stone work, not much, but some. One of may favourite jobs over the years. Set up a sturdy bench, and stand in the jobsite, 2.5 or 3 pound jack, a 2 to 3 inch chisel, and comb, and point and whack away at rocks to fit the need, to size and shape,, hour after hour, day after day,,, good work to have. I have thoroughly enjoyed that work. I may have a stone house , structural, coming up next winter. Native stone on site,, have not yet done some test cutting to see if the stone is suitable. We'll see.

    This rock formation is the Cedar Mesa Sandstone Member of the Permian Cutler formation. The Cedar Mesa Sandstone Member consists of two totally unlike facies- a sandstone facies present only in the area near Cedar Mesa and a gypsiferous facies. As typically exposed on Cedar Mesa, the sandstone facies consists of a sequence that is dominantly sandstone having minor interbedded siltstone. The sandstone is grayish orange, very pale orange, and yellowish gray and shows at places pale-reddish-brown and very light greenish-gray mottling. It consists of rounded to subangular very fine to medium quartz grains and minor accessory minerals and is generally well cemented by calcium carbonate. The sandstone occurs in thick prominent ledges as much as 125 feet thick that consist of individual beds from 5 to 35 feet thick. Many sandstone beds are cross laminated, and the inclination of the laminae is dominantly eastward (Read and Wanek, 1961, p. 7).
    Sears ( 1956) rnapped and described a "lower soft" part of the sandstone facies, which is locally present and contrasts markedly with the typical sandstone facies of the Cedar Mesa Sandstone noted above. This lower softer zone forms a steep slope and is overlain by remnants of cliff-forming grayish -orange cross bedded sandstone in all respects similar to typical Cedar Mesa exposed at the type locality near Cedar Point.
    From s structural standpoint, the area in this video falls along the fold axis of the Cedar Mesa Anticline which is referred to in the literature as "Essentially the summit of the Monument Upwarp ". The monument upwarp is considered to be a large structural element of the Colorado Plateau, and is characterized as a broad northward trending uplift about 35 miles wide and 100 miles long extending from near the junetion of the Green and Colorado Rivers to near Kayenta, Ariz. The upwarp is asymmetrical and has a gently dipping west limb and a steeply dipping east limb.
    I think that the regional structural deformation and local surface conditions, consisting of relatively brittle sandstone over the "lower softer, gypsiferous" member of the Cedar Mesa Standstone, produced thenearly perfect symmetrical joint sets shown in this video.

    Really fantastic piece!! I live in the mountains in Canada and find similar natural anomalies - massive stones with perfect 90 degree angles. The scale of what you have discovered here, however, is truly mind blowing. I agree with the many other commentators who have noted that Mother Nature simply does not work in straight lines of this nature. It is not geologically possible… After having worked as a professional researcher and university historian for 15 years, I came to the conclusion that “history” as we know it does not exist - and that there are “more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of” in most of our philosophies and worldviews…

    The formation at the top of the mesa is the Cedar Mesa sandstone member of the Cutler formation. The vertical "cuts" are naturally-occurring fractures (aka joints) that are formed during gentle warping of the Earth's surface. One such fold (the Halgaito anticline) is southwest of the mesa. It is not unusual joints to occur in orthogonal patterns in a given stress field (conjugate joints). See "Photogeologic map of the Bluff-12 quadrangle, San Juan County, Utah" by the USGS. The rocks @19:00 look like calcite probably formed by spring flow at some point in the past.

      With basalt, its cracks caused by cooling. You see it in the Devil's tower, Fingal's Cave, and elsewhere too.
      Someone above calls this due to isostacy shockwaves - could be - but also rock can exfoliate like onionskins due to repeated heating and cooling in desert regions, when they fall off in sheets (like at e.g., Half Dome. When you see ice sheets breaking off in Antarctica, you see lots of straight lines. Basically, when something breaks off, a flat break is the simplest response, with perhaps a little curvature here or there. What's curious here is that its breaking off in 2 directions at right-angles.
      The "pre-cut" lines basically indicate that the whole area is heating and cooling, expanding and contracting, and occasionally something goes *ping* and it snaps. After that, you wait for erosion to allow the blocks to be undercut and fall.

As 2 other people said here: 1. nature doesn't cut - nature's forces break things yes, but they don't cut 2. it's a vertical ''break'', as in cut - sandstone has layers in horizontal lines which could explain breaking in straight lines, but these are very CLEARLY vertical CUTS, not HORIZONTAL BREAKINGS
