- When I was exploring on Google Earth, I noticed something interesting. Could it be an ancient village on top of a 1,500 foot cliff? It required climbing up a sketchy ridge, can we make it up there?

Great find, and good job keeping its location secret, preservation of these ruins is key, for future generations.
Thank you for watching!
Our country is so beautiful there is no need to travel over seas. Thank you .
Yes, indeed! So many interesting places! Thank you for watching!
My sentiment exactly.....I came from the hills of Virginia and could tell people things. Same as where I live now Sand mountains in Alabama 😎.....I love looking around always something new... Sometimes it's in your own backyard...❤
@@jeanlawson9133 Va Beach here. Love our mountains. Have you been to Cherokee City Alabama? Beautiful.
Tell that to your military
Man, imagine living up there.
Very interesting! Thank you for showing this. 😊
Thank you!
Around the 8 minute mark, are those homes way down in the valley ?
Yes, it is a town.
Perfect video I love the whole video!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing the adventure with us. Nice music, too.
Thank you for watching!
Things like that dont last like cliff dwellings , because they are fully exposed to the elements .
Yes, definitely. Couple days ago we went to a place that has hilltop homes and cliff homes in the same area, built around the same time, and cliff ones still have roof rafters, etc, while hilltop ones are much more broken down. Thank you for watching!
Imagine lugging water, game, and cultivated crops all the way up there all the time. 😬
Yes, they must have been strong.
Looks like Arizona landscaping.
It is.
Seems like you could have done all that by drone and saved yourselves the danger of falling off some of those dangerous looking precipes. My guess is that those dwellings were made in the same period as Chaco canyon, when Aztecs came north hunting for human meat. They were cannibals. Also, the climate could have been wetter a thousand years ago, facilitating the growing of crops at that location. Tulane Lake in California for example, didn't dry up until 100 years ago. Do you live in those suburbs in the distance?
Yes, most likely built around the time of Chaco culture existence.
Very cool site. Thanks for sharing.
Subbin.
Thank you!
great video, about the weirdness of the location, pure speculation, but what if the pueblo was founded first in a period where there was water way closer? like during an extreme flood event? just thinking...besides a very defensible position, water would be the biggest difficulty up there.
Thank you for watching! Yes, good thoughts. Since this dwelling is most likely dated to around 1,000 AD, the landscape did not change much since then. The creek is pretty close, 0.8 miles straight line, but walking to it would be more like 1.5 miles of difficult steep and dangerous climbing with heavy water jugs.
First of all, a big thank you for what you do. And a big thank you to those who accompany you.
Every video of yours makes my body shiver and I feel creepy and electric currents running through my body. I don't even know how to describe it: the fear of heights, even though I'm not climbing mountains, and the great surprise, even the pupils of my eyes dilate.
And a million questions: how did they go about their daily lives in such inaccessible places, why did they choose to do it, or did the whole environment look so different at that time that these places were not inaccessible, just normally safe?
Thank you for watching!
Many of these places are definitely difficult to access, in some places, modern hikers even have to use ropes and climbing gear! I don't think the landscape was very different back then, just maybe more water in the creeks. But these people lived in very steep places between 800 and 1350 AD. Archeologists don't even have an answer why, there are many theories.
Why would the "whole environment look different"? Do you know how long landscapes take to change in any significant way?
@@liamx6636, perhaps I conveyed my thoughts too emphatically. What I intended to say was that there was significantly more water, the weather presented more challenges, and people simply had to settle in higher elevations. I often ponder this when I hear about people living in mountainous, remote areas. It always raises the question of whether it was due to climatic conditions or other human factors.
Nicely made video!
Thank you for watching! :)
Thank you very much!
they lived like savages old age was 30 they ate bugs snakes rabbits whatever lack of civility was a good reason to hide in the hills
Thanks for watching! I could not find any history on this specific ruin, so I'm not sure if it has been excavated by archeologists or not. However, in this same area, there are some 500+ native sites dating to around 1,000 AD, and they are similar. There is little if any evidence found in these sites showing violence. There is also very intricate and sophisticated basketry, pottery, complex woven clothing, intricate jewelry, and very well built buildings. Mortar was used in many places and homes were decorated with paints that were made so well that bright colors remain to this day. They also built very clever irrigation canals to water their crops.
