Thank you sharing for this beautiful story . I enjoyed it tremendously . You have brought this amazing spot to someone who will probably never get the chance to see it otherwise. Thank you sir!
Cool. Thank you for the video. My Mom and Dad found a grass, sticks and mud hut, right outside of Kanab Utah. It was intact, but hidden. I've always wondered if anyone else has ever found it again. We always wanted to go back, but never could. I just love these kinds of places.
That small rock with small holes could also have been used as a base for starting a fire with a spinning stick & a bow. My daughter learned the art while working at a wilderness camp. The rock holds it's place while the stick spins & the grass or tiny sticks in the hole get hot with embers & then you blow on them & add grass & it ignites & then you can dump that into a prepared fire area. Wallah, camp fire. It is a hard thing to do actually.
Thank you for sharing this. I live in Pennsylvania, which is so full of Native American history. I love getting out and exploring the area, imagining where I would make a settlement and finding that precious proof of ancient peoples.
How exciting. This place, looks like it was home for thousands, if not, tens of thousands of years old. The glacial or water striations are over some of the gliffs I see. Good sites have been utilized, since the beginning of time and life. I think I get just as excited as you. I wish more people saw these sites, that way. When I am physically at these places, I get overwhelmed with emotion, excitement, and, depending on the site, an inner peace at untouched sites, or disbelief and anger, where blood was spilled and everything destroyed. In the 1800's, the first governor of California, Peter H. Burnett, upped the bounty for Native American scalps, from a quarter, to $5, people came from all over the world to hunt and "Exterminate" Native American People. Just who exactly, were the savages here?
Thank you for your episodes, super cool! It's hard to believe much of this land is still in tacked after all that's happened to the natives so many years ago.
I love the video and you share the passion for the histories like myself. I was just wondering how old do you think those are? They aren't real standing huts are they?
storiesbyalex Thank you so much for sharing, I know it was a far fetched question but you never know these days. Just like the Ute Wikiups that still stand in some forests of Colorado, and Sheep-eater Shoshone lodges in here in Idaho. Very rare but still there. Keep up the good work, this history is fascinating and I wish more people were passionate about it.
So sorry but the holes go all the way through. And the holes are way to big for the Pinyon nuts you're talking about. The grinding holes were used for primarily grass seeds harvested from the valley. There are no acorns anywhere close to here. The nearest pinyons grow at higher elevetions. They could have brought them here.
"A second type of riparian habitat occurs along Sierran streams coursing down the western half of Owens Valley. Crosscutting many vegetation zones, typically below 2440 m (Grenfell 1 988b), montane riparian habitats provided many distinct plant and animal species. Trees characteristic of this habitat include cottonwood (Poplusfremontii), willow (Salix sp.), water birch (Betula occidentalis), and black oak (Quercus kelloggii). "
I love your enthusiasm and thank you for sharing the video of your interpretation of what you are seeing. All very interesting, BUT...you completely befuddled me by hiding that “cooking implement” so people can’t see it? Trust me, if it’s been in that spot for a thousand years you are not the first one to discover it and identify it. It’s not up to you to decide who gets to see an artifact at this site and it is not up to you to hide it away in some misguided effort to protect it. In my humble opinion you have defaced that site just as any other artifact vandal would have. You should have left it undisturbed and reported your concern to the authorities overseeing that site.
I noticed that, in one of the old pictures, several men had full beards. I've always heard and read that no native North American men had facial hair. Could there had been some mixture with Spaniards, or am I wrong about the facial hair?
+steve kelly Steve, thanks for watching. Each trek is a learning experience. In the Owens Valley the grinding of food sources involved the use of various edible grassland plants and pinyons gathered at higher elevations..................alex
Steve you have clairvoyance we don’t possess . I don’t know what the fauna and flora was 5-10 thousand years ago in that area, with the presence of water. How nice for you that you possess those abilities to read the past so clearly. Myself...I’ll go with the acorns, even if there are no oaks there now.
I love the enthusiasm....im also obsessed with native/primitive past. Thanks for sharing

Thank you
looks familiar to dwellings in se Australia coincidently similar to Yaghan structures

Alex, thank you very much for this video. I hope that stone will be there for ages to come. Thanks again.
Never found mortars underneath a ledge li,e that... may cooler. But had to be awkward
..they could work in the rain maybe..
Thanks for the update....

grandmama536 Thanks for watching..........alex
Nice presentation, a bit of an unusual subject (at least to me).
Oh a nut
I love the video and you share the passion for the histories like myself. I was just wondering how old do you think those are? They aren't real standing huts are they?
Nick, thanks for watching. The huts were put together several years ago in the backyard of a museum in the local area.

I brecciated for your video thank you so much
I wish you take me there
Tourists, saw them standing on petroglypfs and wondering where they might be. Like blind. (Canarias, La Palma)
Facial hair? Not many Native People can grow facial hair that I'm aware of.
That stone appears to be for fingerholes to grip while grinding :-):-)

Uhhh those pictures of native Americans look like black people with long hair. They don't look like people from asia
What's the song playing.???
The track is "The White Feather" by Diane Arkenstone, David Arkenstone.
2nd song is called "Chirapaq". I love it!
Chirapaq is sung in Quechuan language.
I noticed that, in one of the old pictures, several men had full beards. I've always heard and read that no native North American men had facial hair. Could there had been some mixture with Spaniards, or am I wrong about the facial hair?
why would anyone talk about acorns here. It shows ignorance. we like you al. why would you show your ignorance

Can you explain why he always says "found" of "my find"? Its not like this stuff was lost or unknown to modern humans.
Judgy McJudgerton...Ever heard of trade?
The climate and flora used to be different.
