I love your spirit, how you love exploring the past, looking at how our ancients lived and flourished in places modern day people can't imagine how they did it. When I was much younger I loved doing that too! Keep on keeping on as long as possible, my body gave out, now I'm enjoying watching people like you, "Johnny Out West." What joy you bring to so many of us.. I for one am loving it! Thank you!
You know, if there were more people like you out there the world would be a better place. Really appreciate your kind words, it means a lot. More western adventures coming soon - stay tuned. -Johnny
@@johnnyoutwest you're doing a wonderful thing for everyone and may not know it. These videos might help to get officials to pay you or someone to put simple signs out there saying "do not touch or remove anything." Maybe official stickers so it doesn't weigh anything. Thanks again! Take care out there. 🙏
When I was a young man back in the 1970's living in New Mexico we went to many cliff dwellings. We used to hike for miles in the mountains with butterflys waiting for what we might find around the corner. Im glad to see this adventurous spirit still ;ives on today. Thanks for the free ride.
You should familiarize yourself with arrowheads and stone tools so that you can recognize a worked tool artifact. Most of the things you thought were artifacts were simply rocks or flakes. Rock Country Relics would be a good channel to check out 😜. Fun adventure. Thanks for sharing
Cool video guys! The pictograph color is quite rare. Keep in mind to avoid eating snacks near ancient structure sites as crumbs and food scents attract rodents who will further erode the ancient structures. Best etiquette is no food on the site.
The thing about rain, it’s not the rain nearby that is so dangerous, it’s the rain 10 or 20 miles away, way upstream, where it is joined by dozens or hundreds of other similar streams… which all feed into your canyon!
The mud with sticks is called “dab and wattle,” or something very like that! It’s a very common primitive mode of construction everywhere. This is one of the most impressive ancientAmerican sites I ever saw, that wasn’t already a museum. I hope the scientists notice. This site deserves to be recorded, studied and protected.
22:16 my guess is that would be just a general cutting tool. It's edge is smooth from being struck off the rock they were spalling, but it hasn't been worked. So the edge is sharp, but fragile and dulls fast. A worked edge will look wavy from continuously pressure flaking. (also maybe could of just been a piece they were saving to make into an arrowhead but just didnt get around to doing)
I am an artifact hunter myself and I absolutely hate it when I visit a site where a previous explorer has disturbed, collected and displayed the artifacts that they found. It destroys the authenticity of the site!
Yeah I hear ya on that. Honestly I was just grateful to find and see the pottery...but I do kind of agree with you. Thanks for watching my friend -Johnny
The Anasazi used stone like what you see, not adobe. The stone was often set in place with mud mortar and then sometimes mudded over for a smooth appearance. Second, the "grainery" at 16 minutes, isn't. It's a cultural object meant to be seen. And, your commenter was correct. The people who lived out there were masters of their environment in the same way you're master of yours. It was only when the weather changed, making it hard to live, that they moved on.
You need to be cautious around structures with deer mice pee dried in inside of them. If you see feces, there is likely dried urine. This is the source of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, (HPS) prevalent in the southwest. When disturbed, it can become airborne. This is just an extra caution to take. Approximately 38% of those contracting the respiratory virus die. Archeologists don't recommend entering ruin sites, but cliff sides can have concentrations too. Another suggestion in rattlesnake country: never put your hand where your eyes haven't first seen. ❤ Happy trails from Arizona.
I watch Desert Drifter and Treck Planner and you have found the best habitats artefacts and Pictoghraphs by far.. You have a gift for sussing them out!
At 15:43 look at where you are sitting and look at the curve of rock over your head, look at the matching curve of rock under you. I remember seeing in your video just before you arrived of the climb of the slope, the loose scree. The rocks were small, sharp, they looked either worked of the debris of shaping stones. I have done stonework with hammer and chisel. Stood in the front yard with a sawhorse bench and shaped limestone for the next puzzle piece for a chimney. My debris looked like your debris. Also, look at the smoke stains,, but there is no matching hearth below. Yes, there is a hearth,, and very likely a large habitation under where you are sitting. You may well be sitting on the top of the collapsed roof of where there was a habitation. It is all under you,, and yes the small square, stand alone structure was meant to be seen. It is the funerary monument to the family buried below when the cliff house ceiling collapsed.
Dude I think you just made a discovery🎉 the green pictograph looks like Aztec or Mayan hieroglyph🎉. Somebody of some intelligence should look at this would like a professor of archeology no joke. This means something. Wow🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love the theory about it being a possible booby trap to distract unwanted travelers, beautiful findings love the adventure. Always great content. Glad I subscribed.
Interesting that you regard that can as an artifact. It’s a pop top, and not the original kind. I forget when those came in, but I’d guess the 1980s, well within my lifetime. I consider it to be (old) trash, which is interesting, but not very…
I've always seen those as signs of subsistence, merest survival culture existence, almost as if running from something, that is, if I were to believe those were living quarters and not just high ground storage caches. I don't know the likelihood for flash floods in those arroyos or canyons during the periods when used. The idea that they were "safe rooms" from some natural disasters or predator are suggested, again, only to my own gut reaction. You'd probably know better. Still i find it hard to fit that habitude in that environment with the verb "thrive".
Yeah you raise some interesting points. From what I understand, the Anasazi would inhabit locations until the local conditions were no longer providing sustenance (long droughts would force them to move elsewhere so they could continue their farming). Its an interesting thing to ponder
I watch Like a dozen TH-camrs or more do the same thing you do I've never seen any Adobe you mentioned all the same as what you're standing in front of. The only Adobe I've ever seen is in New Mexico. For some reason no one wants to cover that. I comment a lot if it bothers you let me know. I figure it helps your channel helps your algorithm.
You guys need to watch all the Native American stories on how they live etcetera to understand the the structures better. From what I understand you're thinking of these places in a western concept like as a house is something you stay in. Native Americans Simply Built them as shelters with only for sleeping and getting out of the weather. That's what the Native Americans say. They weren't sit around people. They got up in the morning first light to do whatever they needed to do. According to them. I think the big question is what were they hiding from. You said yourself they blend in you really have to look for them that's on purpose. It's very apparent to me and other people who do this then they're hiding from something or what it is nobody knows. I think either 6 finger Giants or other tribes. The indigenous people said they had to deal with both unfriendly other tribes and red-haired six-fingered Giants that tried to eat them. Like in the Lovelock Cave Story. A mother mentioned this to you before so I apologize I watch a lot of these I'm just really into it and like discussing it. Thanks for the adventure you guys have a great day🎉
You see all over this site where people have come and stacked all the pot shards and artifacts on the Rocks don't do that the Rangers tell you don't do that pick it up look at it and put it right back where you found it if you must pick it up at all. It ruins it for everyone. Let me illiterate if they're looking for the other pieces of this pot which they often do and put back together. You've just removed it from the closest place where it might be containing the other parts of it. It's not helping anyone. It does not look good either. Just like rock Karen's
The term "ancestral pueblo" is a recently manufactured fake terminology that is not true. The people who built these defensive living positions, did so to escape the threat of the raiding, murdering, cannibal slavers who came from the south... the Ana Sa a' Zi ... Who were eventually wiped out completely... SOME of these places you consider to be "graineries" were burials, that were raided in antiquity.. But again, "ancestral Pueblo" is a fake terminology... Two things are apparent.. You don't really know what you are describing about building techniques at THIS location. And the soda can was left there in 1978 during the time that Safeway sold Cragmont Soda... 😂
MORE OGHAM! Bro just look into ancient ogham or read any work by Barry Fell or Dexter Warren. Those are ogham the same as your last video was. MaBo the Irish God was in your last video.
28:40 funy this one look like the wind or the rain the design look like zapotec god of rain really strange for this ancient Pueblo area maybe they got influenced or maybe just cohincidence
@@mysteriousoklahoma777 dn't know mate iv studie those nevr heard abt it maybe some of them did but not all the tribs yu have huge diff between north america natives and maeixan one ...
@@FunkyPyramid-t5n …there are still true indigenous villages in Mexico, central and South America. Only remnants of the old ways are left of Americas indigenous cultures. Too much modernization.
@@FunkyPyramid-t5n … when you get into the archeological evidence of cannibalism and sacrifices at ancient sites in the USA….does one see the influx of foreign cultures throughout the southwest. From the parrot clans of Acoma to evidence of cannibalism cults at Chaco and many Anasazi sites…one can’t doubt outside influences.
@@FunkyPyramid-t5n even the venerated kokopelli is theorized to be be flute player who entered villages playing his flute as to not startle Pueblo sites…of course he was naked and had brought trade from the central Mexico and as far as South America.
btw yur wife and yu remind me and my gf true love my friend yur blessed by the ancestors for what yu doing and for yur cute wife :) yu guys are so cute
Just a bit of a pointer, as to what you are calling “soot” or smoked areas. For the most part, most of that is oxidation from the rain and snow, leaching out minerals as well as botanical stains. It’s not soot. Become a bit more familiar with the difference, as it could give you wrong concepts about where the ancestors lived. I spent a fair amount of time monitoring such sacred places for BLM/FS and State Trust Lands.
Please don't leave the trash that you find and call it artifact. Have respect for those who call that land sancred. I am not of that tribe but I am native and we are still here!
@@johnnyoutwest I appreciate that you wanted to err on the side of caution, so much better then most. For anything modern, it is safe to say that if it hasn't been modified, then it really is trash. We are all for repurposing like with the cones on our jingle dresses, the started out being the lids from snuff cans. We use bleach bottles in making some of our traditional hair pieces (Choctaw of Oklahoma).
I worked with the Arizona conservation corps and I had a few jobs cleaning out overgrowth so Archeologists could more accurately document certain sites. UNFORTUNATELY tin cans, pieces of metal, glass, fabrics....if they are over 70 years old they are infact protected and must be left in place. Remember most of the pottery pieces, broken points and flakes were once TRASH as well. 200 years from now a beer can from 1950 will be just as interesting as the pottery is to us today.
U need to be careful exploring ancient ruins specially indigenous ones, you should smudge urself before so nothing sticks to you, spiritually stick, sage smudge to keep them from connecting to you. Thank you for not taking anything that's respectful something the colonizers did not have respect! Please don't leave any way of viewers being able to retrace ur steps because there's still alot of people who for no reason hate indigenous groups and history! But they want to live in our country!! All indigenous groups lived peacefully unless they were forced to fight, history books have our history all wrong! With everything still standing shows how well they were made! Something the white colored people of this planet couldn't figure out how to do.but sadly it's haters that destroy it. I watch another explorer that goes to these sites, he's learning our ways to understand the way and area they were built.
Overall a nice video with beautiful nature shots, but unfortunately there is way too much video of people, as in close-ups of peoples faces, which ruins it completely for me; I click to see the nature and the ruins/dwellings and not human beings, I know what they look like. And why is everything a 'GRANARY', and why so much endless babble about what these structures could have been for and what every room was used for... We don't know much about the people who lived here and we don't have a clue about the utility of every room, nor does it matter until we have some real proof. The only highlight was when the lady said that one of the rooms was probably a baby's room...:):):) It was hillarious but just as likely as all the constant guesswork and babble about something we don't know. But bottom line is that for me these videos are worth watching because of the beauty of the nature, but from here on in I'll be watching w/o sound; the non-stop babble is just too annoying, and I do my best to FF through all the close-ups of faces so it's all good. I've been to many of these sites, including this one, and they are amazing. So keep exploring. Cheers
Relax, Jungle Jim! You're trying to sound too smart. This is TH-cam, not National Geographic. Don't get into the weeds. We're just here for the adventure, not for a PHD.
It’s funny how you say “this is youtube” as if you couldn’t literally acquire the knowledge of a PHD from the thousands of TH-cam channels that educate. See what I’m saying my man? Appreciate your viewership. More jungle Jim adventures coming your way soon
nice to see you my friend im shaman and artist from france and love yur knowledge abt the ancestors iv studye mainly mayan and olmecs culture but all native culture was peacefull and really in deep relation with there suroundings
25:50 the ppl should let the artefact at there place ...... regroup them alll in the same area is lame and not constructiv at all .... better to keep them than doing that ...

Incredible structures and you found more pottery and more variety than most people do, great video loved the internal view.
Thanks for those kind words! I was stunned by all the pottery. More western adventures coming soon.

Archaeologists could go there and make a thorough record and analysis. Untouched or relatively untouched sites are rare.
It’s like a Hopi pueblo, probably a very early version of one. This is more than the usual site. It is complex. I think it’s special!
Pretty amazing, right? thanks for watching my friend! more western adventures coming soon.

I noticed metates ground into that large sandstone rock eith several mono stones on top
At 15:43 look at where you are sitting and look at the curve of rock over your head, look at the matching curve of rock under you. I remember seeing in your video just before you arrived of the climb of the slope, the loose scree. The rocks were small, sharp, they looked either worked of the debris of shaping stones. I have done stonework with hammer and chisel. Stood in the front yard with a sawhorse bench and shaped limestone for the next puzzle piece for a chimney. My debris looked like your debris. Also, look at the smoke stains,, but there is no matching hearth below.
Yes, there is a hearth,, and very likely a large habitation under where you are sitting. You may well be sitting on the top of the collapsed roof of where there was a habitation. It is all under you,, and yes the small square, stand alone structure was meant to be seen. It is the funerary monument to the family buried below when the cliff house ceiling collapsed.
Interesting, I appreciate all your insights. Pretty wild. Thanks for watching!

Nice find
Thank you my friend! More western adventures coming soon
-Johnny
It looks like you all are in my backyard. Literally. We find this stuff all over here.
Right on! Where are you located??
That green rock you found definitely was a stone tool and looked like a possible chopper for butchering
I think their biggest struggle was their enemies. Look at how defensive most sites are in the way they were built and where they were located.
Yeah, pretty interesting. Thanks for watching!
-Johnny
the one you think was for a trap, i think it was where they smoked meat and cured it.
oh interesting theory. totally could be
The different masonry techniques can identify the different Pueblo periods along with the pottery type
Dude I think you just made a discovery🎉 the green pictograph looks like Aztec or Mayan hieroglyph🎉. Somebody of some intelligence should look at this would like a professor of archeology no joke. This means something. Wow🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

@28:26 there's a foot pictograph to right.
At 14 minutes 26 seconds isn't that numbers up on the top of the cave looks like 14 and then 1967 or 1987😮
These were little people
Interesting that you regard that can as an artifact. It’s a pop top, and not the original kind. I forget when those came in, but I’d guess the 1980s, well within my lifetime. I consider it to be (old) trash, which is interesting, but not very…
I've always seen those as signs of subsistence, merest survival culture existence, almost as if running from something, that is, if I were to believe those were living quarters and not just high ground storage caches.
I don't know the likelihood for flash floods in those arroyos or canyons during the periods when used. The idea that they were "safe rooms" from some natural disasters or predator are suggested, again, only to my own gut reaction.

the green snake like one...i seen a love snake do same thing,i think it was getting vibes from the ground,maybe over a lay line no clue
The little jaws and bones are pack rat bones.
Interesting, thanks for the info!
Do you ever find pieces of stone and beads that once were used to make jewelry?
I didnt, that would be super cool though.

Overall a nice video with beautiful nature shots, but unfortunately there is way too much video of people, as in close-ups of peoples faces, which ruins it completely for me; I click to see the nature and the ruins/dwellings and not human beings, I know what they look like. And why is everything a 'GRANARY', and why so much endless babble about what these structures could have been for and what every room was used for... We don't know much about the people who lived here and we don't have a clue about the utility of every room, nor does it matter until we have some real proof. The only highlight was when the lady said that one of the rooms was probably a baby's room...:):):) It was hillarious but just as likely as all the constant guesswork and babble about something we don't know. But bottom line is that for me these videos are worth watching because of the beauty of the nature, but from here on in I'll be watching w/o sound; the non-stop babble is just too annoying, and I do my best to FF through all the close-ups of faces so it's all good. I've been to many of these sites, including this one, and they are amazing. So keep exploring. Cheers
Thanks for the feedback. As they say - "to each their own". glad to hear you are enjoying the nature shots.
cheers
Perfect example of a constant complainer trying to find something to harp on and can’t. So he complains anyway just to watch himself type. Pitiful!🧐
Relax, Jungle Jim! You're trying to sound too smart. This is TH-cam, not National Geographic. Don't get into the weeds. We're just here for the adventure, not for a PHD.
It’s funny how you say “this is youtube” as if you couldn’t literally acquire the knowledge of a PHD from the thousands of TH-cam channels that educate. See what I’m saying my man? Appreciate your viewership. More jungle Jim adventures coming your way soon
