    Please don't go inside one bump and the whole thing comes tumbling down just because you needed to go in. One of the supports that you were admiring was not extended all the way to the other wall and was precariously being held up by basically what now looks like a Jenga. I'm sure the wall was wider back in the day but it isn't now. All it would take is one bump and it would be all your fault so just don't do it. There's obviously evidence of past people there that have helped the structure a bit to survive. You're far from the first modern people there but don't be the ones that ruin it for everybody.

      I would guess that the Tribe was trying to reinforce the roof after a partial collapse of the wall. Probably from some trespassing jack wagon who was crawling around inside it that caused it to collapse.

    The thick wall....had to support a lot of weight. The "pass thru" window was for defense. Black ceiling,many many fires. And proof people lived there rather than using it for storage. Keep hiking around the canyons you will find hundreds or even thousands of ancient pueblo cliff dwellings. 500 to 1000 yrs old. Very fragile, treat with respect, do not enter, climb,lean,or touch, no food or drink that could attract rodents, and thats also one reason you shouldnt camp too close.

    I’m pretty sure that’s Tribal land and I believe you need Tribal permission to go to one of these sites and they probably won’t let you go in them. If not then your trespassing, I wouldn’t let the tribal police see your video or you could be in some serious trouble. Plus stay out of them! They aren’t a jungle Jim for you to tear up. Look with your eyes and not your hands and feet.

    Interesting. A few things noticeable: The ruin does not look so interesting, but what you see in the distance. What you see in the distance should be researched. The visible (metal) support under the wood beams is remarkable. It looks like a gold seeker hut, not really interesting. Look at the gigantic buildings, everywhere around, in the distance; isn't that overwhelming? Giant buildings; mountains are buildings :-)

    That was so much fun. They built their roofs very similar to the ancient Hebrews. I believe the tall outer wall may have added insulation from the wind and driving monsoon rains to protect mortar on the inner support walls. Also makes the ruin look larger than it was so would give the appearance of a larger group. I think they were smaller people and quite adept at navigating the rock walls compared to us.
    They most likely collected rain water for daily use and to make the mortar. The climate would have been a bit wetter hundreds of years ago. At the beginning that one area the was a nook in the rock that was blackened inside was probably a smoke house and an area to dry the corn and possibly even a cooking area. The roof logs being black. If you peel the bark then burn the outside of the log it preserves it from rotting. I would so love to do some hikes like that but would be stuck as my knees cannot handle going down slope for extended periods of time. So I love how well done your videos are. I live in Arizona north of Prescott. So many places to go see.

    24:20 looks like someone installed a brace to hold up the structure. I don't think the ancient people had thing's like that. Very kool. But still very out of place for that structure.

    So beautiful !! Thats the biggest man made structures I've ever seen in the desert. So cool someone has taken the time to support the roof with metal pole. The lava rock that you're seeing is called pumice. To make wood waterproof they would burn it causing a shell stealing it from moisture.
    That bee wants too BEE A STAR !!😂😂
    The helicopter was probably showing people the man made structures.
