I'm so happy they didn't sell the trees for furniture or guitars. They made it a preserve to study and found so many cool things. How refreshing in today's society!
The ONLY way to preserve these stumps is to cover them back up with sand or they will deteriorate in a couple decades. So why not preserve them in beautiful works of furniture or "guitars" that will last a LOT longer.

Good Day, turns out that right on the beach at Seagrove Beach, FL in front of my in-laws house, Hurricane Katrina, exposed bald cypress tree stumps. We have pics of the stumps, they were quite numerous up and down the beach. Over the years the sand has covered them but about 50-80 feet off shore, you can go down 8-12 feet below the surface and find exposed stumps/roots resting above the sand. So you are right on target in wondering if these forests were common across the Gulf.
This lends perspective as to how the earth is always going through constant changes, some of them have been quite extreme, so be ready to adapt whenever necessary.
I live in Sylacauga Alabama. We have the purest white marble in the world. I map sinkholes. Our Marble Mines are the result of a ancient sea.

As they stated after the trees are exposed they quickly erode in the seawater, but I expect that there are many such sites off the Gulf Coast buried under the mud, just waiting.

exactly. don’t tell. let others find it if they want. the people in the video say they’re keeping exact coordinates secret. And also, the video marks on X on the approximate spot and also says it’s 15 miles due south of Gulf Shores in approxmately 60 ft of water. But “they” are keeping it “secret”. hahahahaha i love it. Sure, they could be lieing i guess, but it doesn’t seem like it would be too hard to find. Also, heck yah got some specks and mangroves!
Snapper and Trout is what I heard, coming from an expat Californian, that sounds yummy to me and the smell of the small cones of the cypress have a fabulous fragrance of citrus! Marvelous
Cool! You usually find evidence of sea life on land, not land life in the sea. To bring the whole stump in, they could have had an auto-inflate raft. Slip it, deflated, under the stump, then inflate it. Tow it to a dock and raise it with a motorized lift.

@@sincity2562 carbon dating will not work for more than a max range of 20,000 years; besides this, we don't know how much of the daughter product (c14) the specimen started off with.
@@4-mylrdjesus417 So that us why the carbon dating didn't work for these trees and if you watched the whole thing, its why they ended up taking sediment cores and then also finding some newer trees slightly above these and dated them to 40,000-45,000. And they didn't say before the pyramids they just say how old they are. Theres a lot that goes into figuring out historic timelines which involves a lot of sampling at different places and comparing different indicators to correlate known events that can leave identifiable remains. Not to mention there's a lot of techniques outside of just radiocarbon dating, and it has gotten a lot more accurate.
@@connorjohnson4402 Problems with carbon dating: As an analogy, think of walking into a room in which you find a burning candle, after being in the room for a while the candle goes out. The only thing you can know(while the candle was burning) is the rate at which the candle was burning. You cannot know the length of the candle when it was lit. You cannot know if the atmospheric conditions in the room were constant before you entered the room(e.g. did the oxygen/nitrogen levels vary over time). Likewise with carbon dating: you do not know how much of 'daughter' product(C14) was present in the specimen at the time of death. You cannot know how much of the 'parent' product(N2) was available in the atmosphere prior to the time of death (e.g. air pockets found in amber show that O2 levels were around 32% at the time the pine sap solidified). Further more, you cannot know if the levels of solar radiation (a major contributor in converting N2 --> C14) were different prior to the death of the specimen. -- This is just an excerpt of the things that would not be known to us. Carbon dating along with any other radiometric dating method are useless, and find there way into real science for the sole purpose in maintaining an evolutionary world view.
Right. That woman talking about taking a chunk, finding out what climate it lived in, how old it is when they look at it; blah blah, great, ok… then what? They find out after disrupting the ecosystem these creatures live in, all peacefully, when they could just leave them alone. 😡 Greedy greedy ‘humans’. I hate that woman. Just by hearing her voice.
@@werewolf4358 if we weren't here it would still keep changing. So we're definitely not causing it. We've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over 200 years. Boy do I hate whining liberals.
@@daffyduck9901 The fact that it's changing so rapidly in just the past 50-100 years is part of the evidence that human activity is the major cause. Usually such changes are much slower, and take 40,000 to 100,000 years. We're only 12,000-18,000 years past the last ice age, so this warming is too rapid. But even if all scientists are wrong (except, of course, the ones paid by the fossil fuel industry), doesn't it make sense to err on the side of caution, and protect the planet we depend on? This is not a right or left issue. Politicians on both sides like to make it a wedge issue so they don't have to do anything about it, and they can still take money from their corporate donors. But we need, for so many reasons, not to let them divide us anymore.

That is about as rude and unnecessary response as you can get, JDK. However, given your grade-school education, and your adult life spent in sleepy bars, I guess that is about as good as it gets with you. Please spare us any more of your comments.
Extraordinary! . . Excellent data gathering. To think, there’s much more in that underwater forest and nearby undersea neighborhood. . . ‘Core sample too old to date using C14' techniques - That’s very significant yet not final. . . Thanks for the update
With today's lidar, and other technologic advancements the only surprise is that they seemed to be surprised at finding any sunken signs of past civilizations.
Really glad everyone involved is on the same page. I don't even tell people where it is. No one needs to evict life just to make a table or guitar. And the life living there is far more valuable than any human possession. I'd say that was opinion, but I would by lying. May the location always remain secretive. May there be at least one location on this planet where humans do not mess with anything.
@@YSLRD Decomposition is unlikely unless water levels drop and expose the wood to oxygen. And in the last 20 dives over the last 30 years, nothing has been buried as of yet. If the raised money would go to help children, I would hold my tongue. But mostly, I am against harvesting because of the life which had made the under-water forest home. Seeing the life there in person is levels more powerful than any youtube video could achieve.
global sea levels, as well as global temperature, has been both lower, and higher, not only in recorded human history, but in geological time frames as well.... to go along with that, life has tended to flourish more in warmer times, and much less so in cooler times.... there have been sea level rises that were so fast, the human and animal inhabitants of an area didnt have time to figure out how to get away. there are places in the world where the ancient sea level is plainly seen, much higher than the present... are humans causing the current warming trend? is there actually a warming trend? if there is, is it absolutely due to CO2? the idea that the world as it is presently, the climate we currently have, the sea level we currently have, the areas of desert and forest we currently have, must remain as it is for ever, in stasis and never changing, is a ridiculous and arrogant notion... even without us, even without our influence, the world, the global environment WILL change, whether we like it or not, and it may not be a change that is conducive to how we currently live.
Did you guys miss the end of Gregory's sentence "....BEFORE modern civilization."? I think he was making the point both of you have made, just in ironic fashion. LOL, actually I was looking through the comments for this specific comment. This current push by "scientists" that everything's our fault (climate related) is patently ridiculous.
@@Doxymeister I also feel that humans are screwing up the world with pollution and destruction of habitat. Bit the global warming agenda is a huge scam imo. This world has been completely covered with ice and been completely thawed many times over.
@@gregorydiggs9227 Absolutely agree with that as well. There's no excuse, with the technology we have today, to poop in our own backyard. Really ticks me off.
My buddy here in Florida has a place with a thick swamp nearby that's very old. Once when we had a prolonged dry spell and the water in the swamp was really low, I saw a branch sticking of the mud that looked like driftwood. I like to tinker with wood carving and took a closer look. What I had discovered was an ancient Cypress tree that had fallen into the swamp many many years ago. It appeared to be in the process of petrification because it was very dense and heavy. I only took the branches that stuck out for carving and left the rest of the tree there. The wood was excellent for carving because it would allow you to carve intricate detail.
I live on the Tx Gulf Coast! This documentary is impressive work and very much a wild discovery to say the least! Is this area anywhere close to where the trees were swallowed up by that sinkhole near the Gulf Coast line around Mississippi or maybe it was Louisiana? Just wondering...also, do we know where those trees ended up and have we visited them where they are now...IDK if those were Cyprus treees or was that the lot of trees that were actually 1 tree with one HUGE root system? If anyone reads this comment/reply here and can answer me any of these questions I'm asking here, I'd greatly appreciate it if you would lmk...Thanks!
@@annettezaleski that sinkhole was t really a sinkhole. It was a mine that got accidentally breeches by a drill rig. It was in LA I think, though it may have been MS. The trees ended up down inside the mine, as did a boat or two. Basically what happened was there was a mine under the lake. Then someone started drilling for something and accidentally drilled through into the top of the mine. Water started filling the mine, which quickly eroded the opening of the drill hole bigger and bigger until it started swallowing the lake and everything around it. There are plenty of videos on here about it.
@@srcastic8764 Ty I appreciate your well informed reply to my confussion on this matter...were those trees cyprus trees also, by chance? I should just look it up myself right? lol thanks again!
Great documentary!! Trees and bark dissolve rapidly, indicating the forest was flooded almost instantly to that depth. Even the river itself was preserved from the massive flooding event. All that indicates that is was a short term event, less than a month or year being that it was Cypress. The area was then packed full of mud, that preserved everything; indicating mountains of water flooding off the land from the north. Might be something to do with the Carolina Bays that are not fully explained. FunnyNote: Hurricane Ivan is moving clockwise in this video. I think that was a clip of a Southern Hemisphere storm? I'm just saying.
Linda, great catch about the direction of the motion of the hurricane. I noticed it immediately and wondered why on earth they did that. LOL. Great video - they did a wonderful job.
I was 250 miles off the coast of Laweaseana on a free floating platform . The fish were huge all kinds of fish and little flyingfish came by and big yellowfin were having a chowdown on them . Louisiana sorry I'm not good at spelling. Anyway I was on an oil platform way out in the gulf . Was on fire watch that day . But rainbow runners yellowfin tuna and some other fish looked like amberjack . That's a long way out by chopper to so ppe a must . Hope you catch a boatload of fish soon .
lol I never have seen anybody spell Louisiana like that. very funny. Inadvertent I’m sure no worries. Still gave me a good laugh. And also I bet that was a badass fishing trip. I want to go on one like that someday!

I too couldn’t help but notice that crap & thought it was kinda hilarious. Like wtc is dudes problem ? Hahah wonder if he thought he’d look cool on camera or if he’s just generally angry with water ... or paddles ...
Both. The Rikat Structure is very likely Atlantis, having sank low, then risen high above sea level. It's also how global warming fear mongers skew climate data, but selecting some observatories, ignoring other, looking at just areas where land masses sink.
Yep. I apologize if I'm missing sarcasm. But yes there is quite a bit of evidence to suggest that there compression on the surface of the earth from where the ice stacks up on the caps. And supposedly they used to be miles and miles thicker.
No surprise. These forests are all over the gulf states. Sabine Pass at the Louisiana/Texas state line just barely covers an old forest. I should know; I smacked a boat propeller on a tall tree about 3 feed under water.

@@GregoryJByrne well when was the last time it happened and when is the next "event" but I'm with you all gods and higher powers are a lie. But how do you explain the C19 deaths?
Is it far from border of tectonic plates? Is it possible that tectonic plates shift up/down dramatically and cause water rising? I think it's crucial to understand what's going on under surface.
I would assume this is not unique. Florida had another 100 miles of coastline before the end of the last Ice Age. Sharks teeth have been found hundreds of miles of the coast in quarries.

Snapper and Trout is what I heard, coming from an expat Californian, that sounds yummy to me and the smell of the small cones of the cypress have a fabulous fragrance of citrus! Marvelous
Cool! You usually find evidence of sea life on land, not land life in the sea. To bring the whole stump in, they could have had an auto-inflate raft. Slip it, deflated, under the stump, then inflate it. Tow it to a dock and raise it with a motorized lift.

My uncle has found sea shells all over his property in maplesville al. Maplesville is west chilton county between Montgomery and Birmingham. The shoreline came as far north as that. Half the state. I always thought he probably has a whale 🐋 skeleton in that land somewhere lol 😆

Alabama is awesome!
could you give me the full details on how you arrived at an age of 50,000 years before the pyramids?
My best guess would be radiocarbon dating.
@@sincity2562 carbon dating will not work for more than a max range of 20,000 years; besides this, we don't know how much of the daughter product (c14) the specimen started off with.
@@4-mylrdjesus417 ah true. It is another mystery then.
@@4-mylrdjesus417 So that us why the carbon dating didn't work for these trees and if you watched the whole thing, its why they ended up taking sediment cores and then also finding some newer trees slightly above these and dated them to 40,000-45,000. And they didn't say before the pyramids they just say how old they are. Theres a lot that goes into figuring out historic timelines which involves a lot of sampling at different places and comparing different indicators to correlate known events that can leave identifiable remains. Not to mention there's a lot of techniques outside of just radiocarbon dating, and it has gotten a lot more accurate.
@@connorjohnson4402
Problems with carbon dating:
As an analogy, think of walking into a room in which you find a burning candle, after being in the room for a while the candle goes out. The only thing you can know(while the candle was burning) is the rate at which the candle was burning. You cannot know the length of the candle when it was lit. You cannot know if the atmospheric conditions in the room were constant before you entered the room(e.g. did the oxygen/nitrogen levels vary over time). Likewise with carbon dating: you do not know how much of 'daughter' product(C14) was present in the specimen at the time of death. You cannot know how much of the 'parent' product(N2) was available in the atmosphere prior to the time of death (e.g. air pockets found in amber show that O2 levels were around 32% at the time the pine sap solidified). Further more, you cannot know if the levels of solar radiation (a major contributor in converting N2 --> C14) were different prior to the death of the specimen. -- This is just an excerpt of the things that would not be known to us. Carbon dating along with any other radiometric dating method are useless, and find there way into real science for the sole purpose in maintaining an evolutionary world view.

Wonderful documentary Mr.Raines
It is nice to have a program showing the earth changing it's climate without talking about humans causing it.
Hard for humans to do something a few million years before we existed. Today though? We're definitely causing it.
We are and it's called carbon
@@werewolf4358 if we weren't here it would still keep changing. So we're definitely not causing it. We've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over 200 years. Boy do I hate whining liberals.
@@daffyduck9901 The fact that it's changing so rapidly in just the past 50-100 years is part of the evidence that human activity is the major cause. Usually such changes are much slower, and take 40,000 to 100,000 years. We're only 12,000-18,000 years past the last ice age, so this warming is too rapid. But even if all scientists are wrong (except, of course, the ones paid by the fossil fuel industry), doesn't it make sense to err on the side of caution, and protect the planet we depend on?
This is not a right or left issue. Politicians on both sides like to make it a wedge issue so they don't have to do anything about it, and they can still take money from their corporate donors. But we need, for so many reasons, not to let them divide us anymore.
@@stephaniecarrow4898 oh yeah what about volcanoes Mount Saint Helens alone probably put more in the atmosphere than mankind ever had.

The Galactic Milankovitch cycles
Eccentricity
The galactic bulge does a complete 360 degree rotation onece every 240,000 years.
This causes our magnetic north to vary from 22.5 degrees east to or west declination. Towards or away from our aphelion with the galactic bulge. With aphelion and Perihelion changing once every 60,000 years.
Causing extremes of ice and or tropical age when we are closest to or farthest away from the galactic bulge.
This 60ka obliquity cycle also regulates the intensity of our 26,000 year precession/Yuga/Great Year cycle of crossing the galaxies Electromagnetic/Gravitational equator/plane once every 13,000 years half the precession/Yuga/Great Year cycle at the vernal/Autumnal equinoxes.
This crossing of the galaxies EM/Gravitational plane once every 13,000 years causes EMP plasma burst/Pillars of Fire, Comets as they get pushed from our solar systems OOrt cloud, Asteroids from crossing the Galaxies Kuiper asteroid belt and Cataclysmic size East to West Global Tsunami's probably at 800 mph because our globe rotates at 1000 mph at the equator and 0 mph at the poles with most of the water being in the south because we are moving north.
Covid1984 like CO2 is a LIE with an inconvenient truth as it's kernel of truth Precession causes our climate cycles of
Continental glaciers with corresponding lower sea levels brought on by East to West global Tsunami's every 13,000 years when we cross the galactic plane at the vernal or autumnal equinoxes. Changing or the north star/Precession regulated by Galactic eccentricity.
Global Warming/cooling is being caused by increase/decrease in the amount of Direct sunlight the higher latitudes/poles receive in correspondence with our changing magnetic north with the galactic bulge 240/120,000 year rotation cycle.

No one needs to evict life just to make a table or guitar.
And the life living there is far more valuable than any human possession.

May the location always remain secretive.
May there be at least one location on this planet where humans do not mess with anything.
I vote for guitars. They could raise money by selectively harvesting a bit of it. It's going to be buried or decomposed soon anyway.
@@YSLRD
Decomposition is unlikely unless water levels drop and expose the wood to oxygen.
And in the last 20 dives over the last 30 years, nothing has been buried as of yet.
If the raised money would go to help children, I would hold my tongue.
But mostly, I am against harvesting because of the life which had made the under-water forest home.
Seeing the life there in person is levels more powerful than any youtube video could achieve.
Ben Raines is an immense resource for Alabama. Thanks to him and the researchers for their landmark work!
Magnificent, indeed.
Can you just imagine how comfortable that furniture would be or what great tone a guitar would have.
Imagine that. Global warming and sea level rise before modern civilization
global sea levels, as well as global temperature, has been both lower, and higher, not only in recorded human history, but in geological time frames as well.... to go along with that, life has tended to flourish more in warmer times, and much less so in cooler times.... there have been sea level rises that were so fast, the human and animal inhabitants of an area didnt have time to figure out how to get away. there are places in the world where the ancient sea level is plainly seen, much higher than the present...
are humans causing the current warming trend? is there actually a warming trend? if there is, is it absolutely due to CO2?
the idea that the world as it is presently, the climate we currently have, the sea level we currently have, the areas of desert and forest we currently have, must remain as it is for ever, in stasis and never changing, is a ridiculous and arrogant notion... even without us, even without our influence, the world, the global environment WILL change, whether we like it or not, and it may not be a change that is conducive to how we currently live.
Did you guys miss the end of Gregory's sentence "....BEFORE modern civilization."? I think he was making the point both of you have made, just in ironic fashion. LOL, actually I was looking through the comments for this specific comment. This current push by "scientists" that everything's our fault (climate related) is patently ridiculous.
@@Doxymeister I also feel that humans are screwing up the world with pollution and destruction of habitat. Bit the global warming agenda is a huge scam imo. This world has been completely covered with ice and been completely thawed many times over.
@@gregorydiggs9227 Absolutely agree with that as well. There's no excuse, with the technology we have today, to poop in our own backyard. Really ticks me off.
I relate to this remark.
My buddy here in Florida has a place with a thick swamp nearby that's very old. Once when we had a prolonged dry spell and the water in the swamp was really low, I saw a branch sticking of the mud that looked like driftwood. I like to tinker with wood carving and took a closer look. What I had discovered was an ancient Cypress tree that had fallen into the swamp many many years ago. It appeared to be in the process of petrification because it was very dense and heavy. I only took the branches that stuck out for carving and left the rest of the tree there. The wood was excellent for carving because it would allow you to carve intricate detail.
Wait.... They're not giving out the coordinates and there was a map marking where it is with an X marking the spot? That was bright.
LOL Try finding something offshore on a map of that scale marked with an X. If you can, you should work for Mel Fisher.
Ask the local fisherman, they'll show you
I live on the Tx Gulf Coast! This documentary is impressive work and very much a wild discovery to say the least! Is this area anywhere close to where the trees were swallowed up by that sinkhole near the Gulf Coast line around Mississippi or maybe it was Louisiana? Just wondering...also, do we know where those trees ended up and have we visited them where they are now...IDK if those were Cyprus treees or was that the lot of trees that were actually 1 tree with one HUGE root system? If anyone reads this comment/reply here and can answer me any of these questions I'm asking here, I'd greatly appreciate it if you would lmk...Thanks!
@@annettezaleski that sinkhole was t really a sinkhole. It was a mine that got accidentally breeches by a drill rig. It was in LA I think, though it may have been MS. The trees ended up down inside the mine, as did a boat or two. Basically what happened was there was a mine under the lake. Then someone started drilling for something and accidentally drilled through into the top of the mine. Water started filling the mine, which quickly eroded the opening of the drill hole bigger and bigger until it started swallowing the lake and everything around it. There are plenty of videos on here about it.
@@srcastic8764 Ty I appreciate your well informed reply to my confussion on this matter...were those trees cyprus trees also, by chance? I should just look it up myself right? lol thanks again!
Fascinating stuff. Thank you for sharing!
Great documentary!! Trees and bark dissolve rapidly, indicating the forest was flooded almost instantly to that depth. Even the river itself was preserved from the massive flooding event. All that indicates that is was a short term event, less than a month or year being that it was Cypress. The area was then packed full of mud, that preserved everything; indicating mountains of water flooding off the land from the north. Might be something to do with the Carolina Bays that are not fully explained.
FunnyNote: Hurricane Ivan is moving clockwise in this video. I think that was a clip of a Southern Hemisphere storm? I'm just saying.
Linda, great catch about the direction of the motion of the hurricane. I noticed it immediately and wondered why on earth they did that. LOL. Great video - they did a wonderful job.

Is it all fluctuations in sea level ? Or have the crust elevations changed through plate tectonics ? .. .. I would assume both ...
Both. The Rikat Structure is very likely Atlantis, having sank low, then risen high above sea level. It's also how global warming fear mongers skew climate data, but selecting some observatories, ignoring other, looking at just areas where land masses sink.
Is it possible that the land level also went down, not only that the water level rose?
They need to keep driving the Climate Change narrative
Yep. I apologize if I'm missing sarcasm. But yes there is quite a bit of evidence to suggest that there compression on the surface of the earth from where the ice stacks up on the caps. And supposedly they used to be miles and miles thicker.
