    Thanks for creating video and sharing the site. Almost castle like and very different construction; they used no mortar and clearly were cutting stones. Is that a natural mound or completely manmade? Sounded like the elevation getting up there was pretty steep. Don’t feel bad about stopping looking around and catching your breath. I watch the other two channels you mentioned welcome to exploring and documenting the past that has been hidden. God’s Blessings 🙏🏼

      Thank you! Haha, I am much older than the other guys who are doing this. I will edit out my struggles on future videos to help them seem more cinamatic 😂 Yes the builders were definitely cutting the stones and skillfully stacking them. They may have used mortar but it may have worn away. The top of the hill seemed natural but heavily worked. Some of the rooms were dug down into the soil or the soil was piled up around the rooms. Thanks for watching, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

    I found this ruins a few years ago using Google Earth also. Took the trip out by myself to explore. It was quite a long run. The climb was steep and entry into the ruins itself was very slippery with all of the fallen flatrock near the top. Eventually I made it inside the walls and took in the awesome views while catching my breath. Explored the area and had some lunch before starting back down. This was an awesome ruins with views beyond belief. Well worth the work it took to get there.

    Obvious from all the stones on the downward slopes that they were once part of the surrounding walls. I can only imagine how the entire structure looked when it was originally built. I also wonder if like many of the cliff ruins if the walls were once plastered over with mud. Geez...think what that would have looked like back in the day! Unbelievable site. Thanks for mentioning the other two channels...I had already subscribed to them.....and now you!

    These look like pueblo ruins probably around 1000-1400 AD. They typically dug down so part of the room is in the ground and stacked stone up on the walls with clay as mortar. Typically you wouldn't see any entry into these small little rooms and the only way you can access them is through the roof with ladders.

    Thank you for taking me on this ride. Always love to see puebloan or anasazi (?) dwellings. This was quite a defendible place. I guess they had to bring food and water up with them. It more looked like a safehouse or a look-out post. The very thick walls are awesome, including the technique with which they seem to be build. Protection from the wind and the cold? Keep the light of a fire hidden? Any reason, why it was build in such a remote place? Very rugged country in the surrounding area as well. Much enjoyed what you were able to show. I liked your invitation to audience participation, makes one involved. I always wonder why all the pottery found is broken. Does it weather that way? The pieces that you (and others) do find, do not look weathered in a particular way. Why not more pieces in close proximity? Always more questions than answers. Wonderful findings. Thanks again!

    • @heathputnam9524
      @heathputnam9524  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yea the ruin was on top of the hill but it was on the edge of a canyon that actually has water in the creek. Most of it runs under the sand now, but does emerge in places. I am in the high desert and the temperature dips below zero during the winter so if any pot got water in it the resulting ice would definitely split it! Most of the ruins I have visited have also shown signs of deer, elk and cows within the walls. Not sure why they like them but they do! Probably for the same reason the ruins were built there in the first place! Those visitors hooves as well as houses man shoes grind the pottery up pretty fine. Almost all the ruins in the southwest were looted long ago. Thanks for watching!

    You know, I watch these videos, and have so many questions afterwards. That looked like a very large structure, with a lot of it tumbled down all over the hill. Why did they build it there? The work, just to get the stone up there, would have been intense! What was it? Why exactly, were the walls that thick? Was it a temple, a dwelling, an observatory, a burial site? So many questions. Thank You for this very interesting find. 😊

      The structure is at the top of a high hill which commands a hundred mile view of the surrounding area. At the base of the hill is a canyon with a small amount of water in places. Since they built a huge structure I expect they lived, hunted and farmed in that area at least a large part of the year. As to how old this is, who knows… hundreds to thousands! Thanks for watching!

    In a lot of podcasts I have found that they contain a lot of footage that is tedious. In this clip views of walking along pathways and bushes and piles of rocks is frankly boring. Most viewers want to see the good stuff... like structures, artifacts, layout of the ruins... it might also be a good idea to switch off the mike while walking to cut the sound of deep breathing. I would suggest drone footage would also be a great help in understanding the order of the ruins at close altitude.

      I'm sure that all of it was neat and orderly when it was new but time has taken its toll on how it looks today. The upper part has gradually been sliding down the mountain and leaving behind a jumbled up mess. I would have loved to have seen the finished product with the roof on it before.

    One interesting thing is the ruins on the hilltop and another ineresting thing are the first minutes from this video. Look at 2:06 to 2:36. I see a lot of stones and they are rounded.
    They look like there had been water at some time long before.
    This leads me to a theory of a great flood in your country. This flood washed out all the canyons and left not much small partikles of earth in great parts of the southwest.
    I thin this theory is true, because if I spot all the levels of canyons, there has some washed out sand to be left on some places. But there is nothing. Every small partikles are washed out. Rocks and stones we see today are all created by later erosion.

      I’m no expert and have no idea about a flood but I have found many places between 5000 and 7000 feet above sea level with tons of fossilized sea shells. An inland sea emptying quickly could give the results you are talking about… just conjecture. Thanks for watching!

      They've all been detected hundreds of times believe it or not. There really aren't any old places left to detect unless your looking for modern bottle caps, pull tabs and aluminum cans. Plus it's suddenly become illegal to detect in most government lands. They actually call it removal of artifacts. We've detected all those back in the 70s when silver was 65 dollars an ounce. None of these areas used metal though until going to the reservation and learning the trade. Down in south Mexico was another story though. But now it's too dangerous down there.

      I think this will Pueblo had parts that were several stories high. I do believe it’s been po hunted. The Pueblo has very fine masonry and its walls would not have fallen in all directions from the summit like that from freeze thaw cycles. The wall sections were probably pushed over or otherwise weakened as the site was looted.

    Though it goes against my nature I will offer suggestions, since you asked, about your new channel. I am a long time "consumer" not a creator.
    We all know where the comment section is. We don't need to be reminded that it's "below". Everybody does it as if reading from a script. Please don't. We also know how to subscribe, like, unlike, etc.
    Speaking only for myself I seek and appreciate new and interesting information without any drama or "steering" or manipulation and repetition like commercials. It wastes my time. Details like lighting and focus are nice but it's the content that I'm after, not necessarily quality. I ditched TV about 15 years ago for these and many other reasons.
    If you're "out there" and loving it I'm with ya. If you're focused on getting more subs by doing what the cool kids are doing I'm probably not gonna last Do what you love and share it. Please. And thanks for this interesting and informative vid!
