  • Viewing the path of the October 2023 Solar Eclipse on Google Earth led me down a series of events, resulting in the discovery of seemingly impossible Geometric shapes and evidence of an ancient civilization living among them.
    I was puzzled by these objects, and I had many questions about them. So I drove to the top of this remote cliff to look at them.
    I found many things here that defy explanation. One of which turned out to be much stranger than I could have imagined.
    What conclusions do you think these objects point to? Do you take this as confirmation of intelligent design? Evidence of a very specific series of geologic and erosional processes ? Or perhaps, we are living in a video game (Minecraft or Roblox? )
    Thanks for watching this video, and if anyone has any sort of expertise that can help me make sense of what I found towards the end of the video, how these earth blocks were formed, or the questions I posed I would love to hear from you in the comments.
    If you enjoyed this video - please subscribe to The_POV_Channel and stay tuned for a lot more like this!
    ********* Yep. I am officially terrible at numbers. Turns out sandstone is much much heavier than 12.5 lbs / cubic foot. In fact it is much closer to ~150 lbs / cubic feet. Multiply every weight I mention in this video times 12 for a much more accurate number. ******

    Ok, Thank you all. Cant believe how far I missed the mark on the pounds -per-cubic - foot weight of sandstone ☠☠☠Turns out these things are WAY heavier than I calculated. On a magnitude of 12x. The first object weighs closer to 1,354,500 lbs, about the same weight as a Giant Crane. The second object probably weighs 5,356,800 lbs which is about the weight of 4-5 Giant Cranes.

It took me a long time and a lot of tough experiences to realize that even my seemingly insignificant life can be helpful to someone else. It seems we all have a basic need to matter, to make a difference somehow, to have a purpose. It's hard to feel one's purpose when we have so many barriers in our way. Right? I have learned to think of my barriers as channels instead. Channels that guide my energy into where it needs to be. I have come to believe my life is meant for being thankful and having a good spirit. Thankfulness has taught me many things and brought me great blessings, like YOU! Others may have the ability to make a larger impact but my little service can be part of the glue that helps hold us all together in times of trouble. I send you a big warm squeezy hug and encourage you to hang on tight! Every little thing's gonna be alright. Thank you for helping me reflect on my blessings! I absolutely LOVE moments like this. ❤️

    Im just pleasantly amazed that there isnt piles of garbage everywhere.
    Since i was a young boy i loved to explore, to see an interesting rock outcrop or geological feature and hike to it in hopes that id be the 1st person to set foot on the site and perhaps discover something incredible.
    Without fail, EVERY single place ive ever visited dissapointed me to find remnants of others carelessness and disrespect for nature. Broken beer bottles, cans and trash around an accompanying fire pit was all i found. It used to make me so angry that people could be so lazy and apathetic to the beauty of nature.
    To see such a spectacular place unmolested by careless people is so refreshing.

I've been watching a lot of stuff about ancient aliens and giants and ancient civilisations and this to me, looks like yet more evidence of an ancient pre--flood / glacial civilisation involving giants and lost technology we don't know about today. That just looks like a quarry no doubt about it. Even the petroglyphs look similar to those found in Sinai. Look up ancient pre--flood megaliths, you'll find loads of similar advanced technology stonework all over the planet.

    This is orthogonal jointing in the uppermost massive sandstone member of the Permian (~270 Ma) Cedar Mesa Sandstone (of the Cutler Group). It formed due to a combination of 1. changes in the stress field as the Laramide-era (75-50 Ma) compression in the Colorado Plateau gave way to tectonic relaxation and extension, 2. development of the joint pattern due to thermal cycling and freeze/thaw physical weathering as the overburden above the Cedar Mesa sandstone was denuded and the unit exposed, concomitant with a Neogene uplift of the Colorado plateau, and 3. endogenous, auxetic effects on quartz grains in massive sandstone due to burial and subsequent uplift. There are numerous papers on this subject: Wagon & Curran. (2021). “Sandstone Geometry on the Colorado Plateau”. The Mathematical Intelligencer., Bai et al. (2002). “Orthogonal cross joints: do they imply a regional stress rotation?”. Journal of Structural Geology., Rives et al. (1994). “Analogue simulation of natural orthogonal joint set formation in brittle varnish”. Journal of Structural Geology., Li & Ji. (2020). “A new interpretation for formation of orthogonal joints in quartz sandstone”. Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering., to name but a few.

Am sure there is a PhD thesis or two which examines the sandstone, the under laying formation and what it went through over time with pressures. There are lots of examples across the planet of fracturing along , more or less, angular lines then movement occurred as underlying formations shifted.

      What always captures my imagination are the forces that cause these huge blocks to separate and fall from the formation. Water and freezing temps. Water seeps into the initial hairline crack, freezes causing expansion of water into ice and pushes on the block, moving it away ever so slightly. Ice melts, more water enters crack, freezes, pushes block. It's referred to as freeze-thaw erosion. Eventually gravity is the greater force that tumbles the block.

      I am well aware that indigenous tribes explored the whole of North America many thousands of years before Europeans arrived. My comment was intended to say "the first European explorers, the mountain men, who came after the Lousanna purchase". I assumed the words, ""mountain men" would be enough, but I errored. Please note the phrase, "the mountain men". I should have placed a comma after the word "men" to be clear.

    Those "coral" stones are likely just the same sandstone that's all around, but with a mineralized layer of what I believe is calcite that has created a kind of shell over the sandstone. I had it explained by a geologist once ages ago, so I may be wrong saying calcite... But if you were to look at the cliff right where you saw those, I would wager you could find more of that stuff as well as evidence of water. You find those "shells" often on cliff faces where you can tell there used to be a drainage of sorts. I believe the water deposits minerals on the sandstone as it moves over it, and over time this hard layer builds up, often with little annoying bumps for some reason. (I'm a rock climber, and that stuff hurts when its on your hold!) I think its a similar idea to how stalactites / stalagmites form in caves. In some spots, you can see the shell layer has broken away from the sandstone, and you can even grab little flakes of it if it's loose enough. So I would guess that those rocks you found on the ground either fell off of the cliff, or were dripped on, or perhaps were sitting in a puddle of mineral rich water for ages.
    All that being said, in certain high areas in the desert like that you can indeed find ancient sea life! I see it most often in limestone. There are little shells and mini "shark jaws" stuck in the rock sometimes 7-8k+ feet above see level! Nature is so cool.

      A new interpretation for formation of orthogonal joints in quartz sandstone
      by Le Li, Shaocheng Ji

  • @harrisonsimons3846
    @harrisonsimons3846 Před 2 měsíci +81

    This rock formation is the Cedar Mesa Sandstone Member of the Permian Cutler formation. The Cedar Mesa Sandstone Member consists of two totally unlike facies- a sandstone facies present only in the area near Cedar Mesa and a gypsiferous facies. As typically exposed on Cedar Mesa, the sandstone facies consists of a sequence that is dominantly sandstone having minor interbedded siltstone. The sandstone is grayish orange, very pale orange, and yellowish gray and shows at places pale-reddish-brown and very light greenish-gray mottling. It consists of rounded to subangular very fine to medium quartz grains and minor accessory minerals and is generally well cemented by calcium carbonate. The sandstone occurs in thick prominent ledges as much as 125 feet thick that consist of individual beds from 5 to 35 feet thick. Many sandstone beds are cross laminated, and the inclination of the laminae is dominantly eastward (Read and Wanek, 1961, p. 7).
    Sears ( 1956) rnapped and described a "lower soft" part of the sandstone facies, which is locally present and contrasts markedly with the typical sandstone facies of the Cedar Mesa Sandstone noted above. This lower softer zone forms a steep slope and is overlain by remnants of cliff-forming grayish -orange cross bedded sandstone in all respects similar to typical Cedar Mesa exposed at the type locality near Cedar Point.
    From s structural standpoint, the area in this video falls along the fold axis of the Cedar Mesa Anticline which is referred to in the literature as "Essentially the summit of the Monument Upwarp ". The monument upwarp is considered to be a large structural element of the Colorado Plateau, and is characterized as a broad northward trending uplift about 35 miles wide and 100 miles long extending from near the junetion of the Green and Colorado Rivers to near Kayenta, Ariz. The upwarp is asymmetrical and has a gently dipping west limb and a steeply dipping east limb.
    I think that the regional structural deformation and local surface conditions, consisting of relatively brittle sandstone over the "lower softer, gypsiferous" member of the Cedar Mesa Standstone, produced thenearly perfect symmetrical joint sets shown in this video.

    This is a great find, and a clue as to why ancient people used specific types of stone in their megaliths. If you're curious, look into the dimensions of polygonal megalithic masonry; it is earthquake-proof material as ancient people used it, arresting seismic tremors.
    What you are showcasing here are 'greater harmonics'. All crystallization has stable substructures you can see as 'harmonics'. We appreciate these as types of minerals: feldspar, carbonates, quartz, etc. you are looking at the longer-time, larger-space form of sandstone's matrix, which is either chalcedony or opaline depending on the density.
    (I'm not an expert, but I have studied harmonics most of my life...they appear in galaxies, planetary atmospheres, DNA, atoms, etc. DNA is a double-helix; this is a mated pair of Golden Ratios. They would spiral forever outwards if not mated together...each hemisphere of your brain represents one helix. All form is harmonic)

      Though I don't deny the obvious fact that there are geologic processes at work here, it would be a misnomer to state that these rock formations are natural or geologically formed. Clearly, these mirror the ancient megaliths found the world over from Egypt, South and Central America, Central Asia, China, Greece,... Even Vietnam. This is one of the most incredible sites I've ever seen, to be honest. You had not only evidence of ancient stonework of cutting out giant symmetrically perfect cubes from the hillside, but also a dolmen head, at the same site. And you also had ancient hieroglyphs. This site is absolutely fantastic. These are not ancient American Indians, these are pre younger dryas impact event megalithic structures... Unknown in both date and origin. But that impact event was 12,800 years ago. And it ended the ice age, in a virtual blink of the eye. These particular megaliths, with the dolmen head, could literally be hundreds of thousands of years old.

    Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland has some fascinating rock formations, too, but not nearly as massive!

    The formation at the top of the mesa is the Cedar Mesa sandstone member of the Cutler formation. The vertical "cuts" are naturally-occurring fractures (aka joints) that are formed during gentle warping of the Earth's surface. One such fold (the Halgaito anticline) is southwest of the mesa. It is not unusual joints to occur in orthogonal patterns in a given stress field (conjugate joints). See "Photogeologic map of the Bluff-12 quadrangle, San Juan County, Utah" by the USGS. The rocks @19:00 look like calcite probably formed by spring flow at some point in the past.

      How is the sandstone created? its almost like loafs of bread getting baked up and then separating.

      Thanks for putting them in perspective. It would be good to see and compare the different areas.

      @extx Thanks for the information. I wasn’t nearly this knowledgeable about the formation but recognized some of the attributes. I love geology and am glad you had more info on it!

    How lucky you are to have Mars on your doorstep.
    What a great video, those human markings looked really ancient.
    The whole thing just screams massive ancient flood!
