#1: New Hampshire's Megaliths and New England's Native American Stone Structures
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- I explored a region in New Hampshire that is full of widely accepted Native American stone structures (a good overview of several types can be found here • Native American Ritual... . These led me to large, undocumented megalithic structures and then to some very large, more speculative structures. I show my reasoning behind the man-made nature of these structures in this video. These photographs were taken over two years and I was able to find patterns of construction spanning many square miles of different structures.
There is at least one error in my talk, which I will correct here, and if you find any more please let me know.
1. The Atlas Obscura article I referenced estimates there to be 100,000 miles of stone walls in New England while I cite a 1939 study estimating 250,000. Either amount is enormous and doesn't affect my thinking that the structures I have found are man-made.
I grew up in N.E. and saw these walls and stones around me all the time and thought of the people who had lived there so long ago, but I never put the two together. Fascinating.
I grew up here as well and never thought about this either.
I spent a lot of time in the woods of western Mass. As kids we built a fort incorporating the rock wall. They were everywhere.
@@GG-Wolfhound Western MA is a great area. I will see if I can find any wall networks there on Google Earth.

My family is from Shirley MA, and as a kid we'd go to Coggshall Park in Fitchburg. I always thought the boulder there was odd. Plus, seeing all the little walls all over N.E. I firmly believe that the entire region was part of Nurembega. Funny synchronicity for me... I was born on the 200th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party... I have many others. Have an amazing day 😊😊😊
I’m so happy to have you in my life ❤❤❤❤
Sweetheart ❤
Love the you more ❤❤❤
Fascinating. I've seen similar stone structures all over the Appalachian mountains and as far south as Macon Ga. Also huge Boulder piles just like found in glacial regions but far to the South.
There's MUCH we don't know and academia is definitely wrong about much if not most of human history.
There’s ancient ruins of castle-like structures in the Appalachians in the Carolinas. More evident in SC there’s videos on here of the sites, but they are also up in North Carolina I have seen em with my own eyes

Thank you for your deeply researched thoughts. Everyone who studied these issues can now go home.
@@KR72534 - aaawww....a snowflake. Just the slightest warm breath from someone that they find offensive for some reason known only to them, and they have a meltdown and lash out butthurt and bothered.
Poor things.
I’ve lived in the area and have seen some of these. The obvious ones are man made. Probably fairly recently. The others? Natural rock formations. Glacier moraine? Freeze/thaw splitting? I have serious doubts about these ancient ones as walls or structures.
Excellent video, thank you for your time and effort!
Thanks so much. Stay tuned!

If you were to visit these sites during the winter and summer solstices, I think you notice many corresponding alignments.
I bet you are right. Many researches have noticed alignments with NE stone structures, especially the stone chambers.

@@jordankert6995 This is purely speculation, but the quartz placed stones may mark a calendar event which the sun might illuminate at that particular time.
@@troller3155 It's good speculation, because such a phenomenon has been documented in stone chambers in archeological studies both in new england and i believe old england
Gungy Wamp in Groton ,CT has baffled many over the year's. They do know it was mentioned in a book from the 1700's but little is known. There was a lot of activity around here,very long ago.
My brother just moved to Warwick MA on 60+ acres on a mountain and I see these features everywhere. We come from the south shore and it's outrageous the feeling of the energy of the mountain which has so many materials, mica quartz granite but nothing like granite in bare cove area were it's everywhere.....very interesting
Know Warwick well, but haven't done much walking there. Will do
Watching Andrew Camarata at his Container Castle. He bulldozed out a line of vertical faced aligned very large stones. If you look at it you can see these rectangular monoliths are (were) sitting on top of a shale bed and propped up by various smaller rocks. This line or wall was in West Saugerties in NY. It may be interesting to you to take a look at his CZcams videos to see if you agree. It's been bugging me that they did not look at all natural in their location but at the time I had not seen any evidence of these walls in the US.
I will say the size was very large compared to most of the walls you are looking at here.
I live in upstate NY and found something very interesting. It looks like the ancient Indians built their stuff on top of a megalithic stone site. It's very intriguing!
I would love to see pictures. There are many colonial reports of "Indian Forts", stone structures on top of hills
Amazing video.
I'm finding the same style ruins here on Kauai Hawaii. There are boulders up to 5 tons built in the terracing. It was all built before the Polynesians arrived.
Mahalo
Mahalo! Would love to see pictures if you have them, keep me posted on your finds.
@@jordankert6995 czcams.com/video/c6bxlZ3szNg/video.html
I've tried to remove the sound. Haha. The large rounded boulders like the ones I'm talking about are in the thousands. This is Kalalau valley but they are all over the island.
@@johnkangas6594 Wild video. I wondered myself why people were building large retaining walls in forests around here as well.
@@jordankert6995 Mahalo.
It's baffling. They are all over the world. In Kalalau valley there are 6000 acres of terracing and some other valleys have more. I found a 1927 photo that shows a pyramid shape right on the waterfront in Kalalau. The government kicked everyone out of that valley and destroyed it for some reason. The evidence is everywhere. Even as I write this parked in my car, I can see giant rounded boulders built into the hillside next to me. It's not natural.
@@johnkangas6594 I've heard other stories about government destroying and claiming sites.

I have a picture of what might be those exact rocks in New Hampshire. About ten years ago I saw them and thought they seemed out of place and too big for any explanation of being put there for a water wheel or something. Cool stuff everywhere.
Would love to see the pictures!
You should go in the woods of Stinson lake. There are so many right angles and structures
I will look at it on google earth now, thank you for the tip.

I'm from maine/new hampshire and can confirm that colonists were in fact moving and using very large stones to create root cellars and such. My grandpa used to explain to me about how they used horses and pulleys to do it. I even have some very old pictures of my grandparents moving their entire barn across the yard and onto a foundation of megalithic sized stones, all done with horses and carriages and ropes and pulleys. Also the entire property line is surrounded by the same type of stone walls you show.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, I will respond fully later this evening!
I don't doubt your grandfather's information especially in regards to work on his own property which he documented. But there is a great deal of work done (for example in Manitou by Mavor and Dix) documenting stone chambers aligned with important celestial events and ample written evidence speaking towards colonists finding stone chambers in forests and not knowing what they were. Jim Vieria, a local stonemason, discusses on CZcams the construction peculiarities of chambers in particular. There are also ample Native American structures like turtle effigies and cairns built in close proximity to walls which do not enclose anything and may be serpent effigies. So in short, not every stone structure in New England is Native, and not every structure is colonial. If you have any pictures you would like to share I would like to see them, let me know and I can provide my email address. Thanks again.
There's another reason to have separate stone root cellars with ventilation in northern NE that no one seems to mention. If your house burns down in the middle of winter you will need a place to stay warm, and perhaps cook some of those root vegetables. Probably a minor consideration, but I doubt that it did not occur to the settlers.
The simplest explanation is likely the correct one, Occam's razor. People underestimate what the pioneers could do with tools they had available.
i recently learned about the Sage Wall in Montana, you are the first person to enlighten me that these Megalithic walls are in New England too!!! thanks for your research, subbed!
I have seen video of this wall in Montana, it corresponds with potential megaliths as well. Thank you for your sub and comment.
The Sage wall is not a man made Megalith . If one just walks to the back side of the wall, it is very clear to see small irregular cracks in solid rock, which give way to larger fissures and give the rock appearance of individual stones. They're not separate stones- the cuts do not go through the rock but simply separate the rock in the same manner as splitting a log with an axe . This is just one very large rock with semi-straight fissures created by millions of years freezing and thawing erosion.
The back side of these formations are not divided into individual blocks that match the front but consist of a solid rock with irregular small cracks and fissures that worked there way to the other side as no one ever shows the back side in these videos because it looks nothing like the side they show. If this were man made this would be well documented and known as the likes of Graham Hancock would of been all over it by now .

You may want to dig at that sight with the triangular pointer stone in the triangle cut out. It resembles what we find out here in the southwest where the Spanish would bury gold ingots. It’s probably a maker for a treasure burial.
I will get a metal detector and see what I find
@@jordankert6995 I would dig anyway. It may be something non metallic like a flint axe head or something else. You never know. Let me know if you find something.
@@jamesstjames1289 I will dig there. It shouldn't be hard to find this site again. Thanks.

Many historic statues and rock carvings have had the noses mysteriously damaged such as the great sphinx and the statue of David… Interesting that the old man in the mountain lost his nose too...
I really enjoyed the narrative. I had a large land parcel in Dover, MA with some interesting features, some of which you described in your feature. Thanks for the share!
Nice! I found a cut stone wall in Linville Gorge NC that no one seems to know anything about.

Thanks for the inspiration! To me, each collection of stones in walls and cairns seems to represent an assembly with unknown value, but socially significant by reason of the cooperative physical effort required in the construction. It may represent ideas in cooperative perseverence and persistence because it is undeniably a landmark assembly that will endure all things and remain immovable and constant over time though perhaps increasing in magnitude and complexity by adjunction and layering. Some assemblies seem more deliberate and well ordered while others are more random and perhaps even freely ramshackle yet all might easily represent a gathering, unity in building, membership, reunion and collective effort often founded upon a clearly recognizable autochthonic archetectural principal.

I really liked this video! I've been interested in these structures since I was a kid. I've found that these walls, in most cases, go all the way down to the bedrock. Certainly the early farmers, would have added rocks, to the walls, when clearing fields, but the walls have been written about, since the pilgrims arrived. The fact that this whole area was covered with ice, up to about 11,000 years ago, makes the mystery deepen. The dolmans certainly were built, after the thaw, but what about the oldest walls? Could they have been covered under ice the thousands of years? Or the dolman and wall builders, one in the same? Keep up the great work Jordan, I love it!
Amazing work! I respect your careful methodical and scientific approach, your curiosity and compassion for the lost cultures, and your respect for humanity
Much Love!
Thank you so much
Hello there Jordan. This is wild! You know, I have been wanting to go out for some time now and take video/photo of rock cairns I've come across while hiking over the years. I live in East Central Georgia, USA. There are many boulder piles similar to the ones you show in my area. Check out Rock Eagle and Rock Hawk when you get a chance. They are believed to be effigy mounds. I'm also a couple of hours Southeast of Stone Mountain. That being said, I'm in my mid-40's and this topic has really grabbed my attention! I've just started my journey... A little late, but that's ok. There is definitely something going on here that is older than what it's being passed off to be. Thank you for all the information and excitement you brought in this presentation. I look forward to see what else you have on your channel. New subscriber here. Take care and Godspeed.
Thank you for the kind words and tips! When you take those photos please let me know, I would love to take a look.
@@jordankert6995 Thank you for the reply. I'll certainly let you know. If the weather holds up, I would like to get out to one of the places this weekend. It's definitely got me excited! Enjoy your evening and keep up the good work.
Just came across this czcams.com/video/C2w-WSl3NN8/video.html will definitely be getting a metal detector
@@jordankert6995 Hey thanks Jordan! I really appreciate that you took the time to share this with me. I don't have cable, but when I did I remember watching this show. I don't recall this particular episode, but the archeologist Scott Wolter comes across as a cool guy imho. I'm definitely going to watch this while episode now. It's kinda nasty outside today, so it's a good night to relax and see what I can find out. Tomorrow's weather forecast looks like it's going to make for an excellent day for an adventure! I'll definitely make a plan before bed tonight so I can get out and start making videos on this topic. My short-term goal is to eventually create a separate channel to upload videos that showcase what's in my neck of the woods. My current channel is all over the place. That being said, it was created many years ago, and I was not anticipating making videos on it. Now that I have a new phone, I want to get some more decent equipment to keep creating quality content like yourself. Thanks again for all of your help. I made sure I'm subbed to your channel, and have the notification bell set. Best of luck to you in all of your adventures! Take care Jordan, and I look forward to watching your next video.

You might be in a really awesome area being from Georgia according to this episode! Let's stay in touch! My email address in in my "about" on CZcams, shoot me a message!
Just a thought, could some of the walls be military fortifications from the many battles in New Hampshire in the late 1600’s to mid 1700’s?
I don't doubt that such walls were built, but I do not think that I show such walls in my videos. If you could show me a wall I would be happy to discuss it with you.
@@jordankert6995 I love this answer. It’s important to acknowledge that in any given area there may have been multiple waves of cultures that have come and gone, leaving behind not only their ruins but sometimes one built on top of another. Like Old St Peter’s foundations underneath the “new” one but more than 1000 years apart.
They could be, but those stones you see that are 20 tons up to even 600 tons, those are from a forgotten episode in human history. We couldn't build like that today if we felt like trying.
@@Nervii_Champion which is a shame because we dont do anything truly big anymore its just greed these days
Great presentation, see a lot of similar features around here shown in the speculation section.
Thank you, would love to see some pictures.
@@jordankert6995 might make a picture presentation like this one. The feature caught my eye was the whale with the open mouth seen that one before and thought the same thing.

When I was about 4, about 1950, I remember a ride on the cog railway and saw the old man!
That's awesome Steve! I saw it once, probably around 10 years of age, 1999. It was from the highway and it took me a long time to spot it, it is so small from that distance. Did you see where I show the back of the old man in the end of my video?
@@jordankert6995
I sure did! I’m wondering if it’s actually a petrified giant?
@@stevewhite7426 I have heard this thought before, I don't know much about this line of thought, but "Mudfossil University" seems to be the expert on this kind of idea.

I've noticed a puzzling wall structure at Kenoza Lake in Haverhill MA. The lake serves as the main water source for the city and has a beautiful wooded park and trails around it. There is a tiny island, about 40 feet across and maybe 100 yards from shore. There is a stone wall that runs downhill toward the lake. In 2020 there was a drought and an isthmus formed to the island and you could walk to it that fall. This revealed that the wall continued underwater toward the island. A far as I have found, the lake is entirely natural and not the result of any dam or dyke. I would be surprised if the topology was much different back through the colonial period. I can't think of a reason colonists would have built the wall as it is. This is easy to find from this description and a look at Google Maps.
I will take a look, thank you!
I am having trouble finding the wall, I am looking in 4/22 when the leaves are off the trees. From which side of the island is the wall?
@@jordankert6995 You're not going to see the wall from maps. It's just a typical 2.5-3 foot stone wall like you see in New England. The wall comes from the west, close to the nearest shore point. The wall runs far up the hill to the west. There is an interruption near the lake where there is a wide dirt path that follows the shore. Very easy access, about a ten minute walk from the main parking area. Get close to the island and you'll find the wall pretty easily. If you learn the area, there are trails from the castle that run close to the wall as it descends the hill. There are also some interesting 19th and early 20th century ruins around as well.
@@kenweller2032 The fact that it runs under a lake means we could date the wall I think?
@@kenweller2032 This sounds like it should be dated and could be dated.
I live in NH and I know where there's a bunch of effigy rocks and other huge boulders that I'm sure are something that the pennacook indians or even older cultures made no way they're natural most of them are around Concord and Loudon areas past couple years I've been exploring around bradeford sunapee areas and finding a lot we should hook up there's not too many folks that find this subject interesting enough to actually go out looking for these .

SO THE QUESTION IS WHAT ANCIENT CIVILIZATION WORSHIPED THE SERPANT?
Serpent appears in many ancient texts
Many... Hindus called em nagas... In my area the serpent people I'm pretty sure we're eventually Iroquois... There were lots, and they always seem to be the enemy of the peaceful/enlightened groups
If you take a drive along Round Hill Road in Greenwich, Ct. before the trees leaf out, you’ll see many stone rows, including a huge serpent reading a book! The serpent’s head is pretty close to the road.

I read a book a long time ago (can't remember name or author) that claimed these New England structures were constructed by Celts many thousands of years ago.
It's definitely a theory that floats around. Native American lore also speaks about a race of white skinned, red haired giants.
I doubt it, I’m not sure if you’re are equating celts with Vikings which would be incorrect since to be a Viking is to be a pirate. The sea people more historically accurate would be the Phoenicians, which makes more sense imo, there’s actually an a theory of the Phoenicians discovering the Americans.

In Calais, VT there is a massive granite serpent carved out of a single piece of granite located next to a serpent wall going straight up a 60 degree cliff.
I live next door in Vermont…there are several mound about that fascinate the hell out of me…not to mention the many, many chambers we have about.
Have you seen any glyphs?
It was really cool to run across your CZcams channel. I have been toying with the theory that the colonial people could not have possibly built all of these rock walls in the time period that history says it happened. I have spent a fair amount of time walking through the woods of NH, ME and VT and they are literally everywhere. I feel like the people before the colonists had already been here for hundreds maybe thousands of years and already had a vast infrastructure of agriculture in place.
I feel like the colonial people " found " most of it already here and claimed it there own. I think the indigenous people were mostly eliminated by a combination of manifest destiny style conquest and disease and slowly re-populated over time.
Nobody wants to admit to destroying somebody and stealing there stuff so over time that kind of history would probably be forgotten about.
Very interesting stuff. Have you seen some of the canal systems in the north east? There is some cool ones in south east NH.
I know our ancestors definitely built a lot of the walls and changed along of the landscape but I definitely think a big chunk was already here.
Great comment. Your instincts are good. There are 250k miles of wall in the northeast, there is a calculation you can do that shows it is completely impossible for colonists to have built all of them, its out of the question. And once you see many walls up close, you see massive boulders that would be totally impractical for them to move. I definitely feel colonists built around the walls that were already here. When I say "native structure" I am thinking it was natives thousands of years before the natives colonists encountered, on par with the Mayans in terms of engineering ability. I have seen stuff I thought might be canal systems, please send pictures to my email of anything you find interesting. Happy hunting!
It would only make sense that if there was ancient structures like that of the Mayan and maybe predating even them all over South America and Central America that they would have been up in North America too.
I do have some canal pictures on my old phone that I will try to send you later. And a stone circle in that same area, they call it a pound but who knows.

Lots of questions and no answers. Find a copy of Treasure Signs, Symbols, Shadow and Sun Signs by Charles Kenworthy. It's hard to find but I managed to find one through an interlibrary loan. Very interesting information about rock formations (ie turtles, etc.) The well place triangle rock at the beginning made me thing of this.
Looked it up, 185 bucks for a copy. But I will keep it in mind for later.

Thanks for putting this together. it is better than most of the videos out there on the stone walls of New England. I have explored some of these structures around Acton ma. it would be nice to know where some of these places are.
Fascinating! Have you looked at the stone circles? They appear to be like the ones found in the British Isles..there is one in Eastern MA (Easton, MA). Again-nobody knows why they were built.

Wow I had no idea these existed. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for commenting. Most new englanders are familiar with the stone walls in the area but assume they are mostly colonial-built. The sheer amount, 250k miles, makes that impossible.

You should take a deep dive into British masonry and dry stone walling, then revisit this. Some of what you're identifying as Native American could be, but definitely not all of it. Europeans have historically been skilled at dry stone masonry and although they did originally just make haphazard piles in NE and fence their fields, they did eventually build organized walls out of those piles of stone which wouldn't rot like their fences did.
I live in New Hampshire and see rock structures constantly. I'm curious how you can tell the difference between post European walls and structures and those that pre date Europeans?
Hi Chris, I would strongly assume that walls like this czcams.com/video/M07CdBOdtu8/video.html which contains significant chunks of quartz, this one pinned into place, with distinct design aesthetics throughout different parts of the structure would be pre European. A border marker wouldn't be built so delicately with particularly shaped stones or pinned quartz, neither would a farmers pile from clearing a field. I just ordered the book "Manitou", the authoritative work on New England's ancient stone works by Mavor and Dix and am excited to read through it again, I highly recommend it to everyone interested in the subject!
Chris on my Facebook group facebook.com/groups/439049278378818 I post many pictures from my weekly hikes. I have dozens ofa 1.5 mile long wall full of huge boulders of quartz. Request to join if you'd like and I'll bring you in
@@jordankert6995 Thanks, I'll give that book a look. I have a number of stone walls running through my property but they're all definitely 1800s construction from when it was a potato farm. The family still lives on the property.
@@c97f If you have a chance I'd love to take a look at any pictures you might have. Another thing about the walls I look at with interest is they "hop" up boulders as they run up mountains, czcams.com/video/C_jnAhRhNCs/video.html
and tend to be one boulder thick all the way through
Grew up on cape cod and my favorite thing to do is get lost in the woods. There are a bunch of stone walls in really odd places. There’s also a ton of big holes in the earth which I always thought were all glacial erratics.. For a long time. Turns out some were dug by colonists to mine granit deposits. But mining is not very fruitful here. Turns out some were dug by natives as winter shelters. They would love on the coast in spring and summer and travel inland in winter. Some families going off cape. Come going into densely wooded areas for the winter. I want to dig for artifacts at those spots but I’m sure it’s illegal
Was looking forward to more of your work Jordan.
There are megalithic structures that are extremely unlikely to have been placed by humans, others that are dubious, at best, and finally the imitations that were almost definitely placed by human ancestors.
There are certainly levels of design and engineering complexity at work. There are megalithic structures in south america where you can clearly see later, less advanced masonry technique added to megalithic walls.

A common occurence with megalithic sites are humans at a later time attempting to rebuild a structure with pieces that has broken off
Lots of sitns of this her3
They cleared the fields of the rocks and used them to build the walls. If you'd ever seen one of those wall you would know that attaching wood to them was not a possibility. Those old Yankees were very practical people. The also milled stone posts from the boulders as they stood using ancient manual techniques. People today would probably use wood and have it rot away in a generation.
some of it is a bit of a reach but I love the way look at these things. I believe people have been on this planet for hundreds of thousands of years, probably longer.
there's stuff like this all over my home state of W.V. we just got to keep looking

I have stuff like this close to my old house, Also a cellar/structure that is made of stone with no straight walls very much like a stone igloo upside down in the ground. Very strage walls and boulders too! Not for property lines or livestock either.

Nice video prehistoric Giants we're everywhere
Glaciers do amazing things people say right angles don't exist in nature , many flat topped mountains stone ground flat smooth many pikes of big rocks on little ones all over USA , not degrading your video great job well done interesting just saying it does happen but some are weird their were giants on the earth but y only remnants a giant Boulder here or there perhaps as markers yes walls in some places rocks look to big but back in the day farmers moved boukdes with horses and di make walls n markers , also there are were giant stone site stones 2 ricks making a sightlines to a hill or other marker stone miles away , but just how did they make those strait edges and sides submit they just used what the glaciers left behind but yes many of yours look great Sharpe edges still so makes you wonder how those edges stayed so sharp so long looking at lichens which is sign of Get but in the n e humidity makes stones only hundred yrs or so look much older .

Certainly. Let me know the timestamps of the images you're interested in and I'll see what I can do!
@@jordankert6995 Pretty much every time you show a salamander or a snake I don't see the image. When you speak of how rocks are stacked, outlining the individual rocks would help to delineated what we cannot see due to the nature of the photographic beast.
@@martyheresniak5203 very good points. Going forward I'll be doing much more videography, I think things will be easier seen this way.

Fascinating First Nation megalithic structures for burials perhaps?
In the area around Groton Conn. there is a place called Gungywamp Rd. there is a structure there that is 5k + years old that is set for the equinox.
Thanks for the comment! I have seen a lot about that area, my friend in the area calls it the place with the "alien stones". In NH we have a popular site called America's Stonehenge with many solstice alignments. Take care.

They are all around because they are natural, stone shape themselves over years. Root cellars are real and man made, stone walls everywhere because of farmers.
Wow that's so cool to learn in Utah we have a lot of similar things we even have our Old Man of the Mountain but nobody really talks about it..
Thanks James. Would love to see Utahs man in the mountain. Lots of interesting archeological rumors stemming from Utah.

Many of these were build during he Colonial period as land was being cleared. Take a look at aerial photos of Ireland - you see the same thing with stone walls all over the place. Many smaller "chambers" are root cellars. There are suspiciously no local Native American stories regarding these structures, so to suggest they're older than the Colonial Period doesn't seem likely.
This is fascinating.

Do you think the might be burial sites? There not that much different then New England cemeteries. You should do a video on America's Stone hedge. It's another piece of the puzzle.
What's the history of Tartaria and the Giants in New England… Looks to me like these stone formations are there playground… I just did a lot of investigating this past month myself in New Hampshire in upstate New York and found tons of Megoulas and stonewalls of course and checked out Sam's pointe in Ellenville New York and definitely a megalithic Structure with water at the top of the mountain and balancing stone
For, Colonists to have built this, (is not even possible). For one, the mold growth & overburden sediment, is only this profound after 100,000's of years. Second, "(cellar hole)" is, often times the roof of, several, supporting; (10 TON lentils). Third, walls are of stone often quarried from Mountain's, that are miles, & miles away from here. Forth, Critter Megablockheads are not Settler Art decor. Fith, these walls are all over New England, & if layed end to end would stretch around the World several times, Sixth, the amount of stone, (in total); is far greater, than all the Egyptian Pyramids combined. Seventh, soil accumulates at a rate of about 1 foot per 10,000 years, & alot of these BUILDINGS, are 20 feet deep. Just saying.🗿
If these wall structures " especially the walls " or smaller rocks were ancient they would of been destroyed and tossed around by the growth of the trees alone over the past 5,000 years as well as being buried under endless cycles of foliage accumulation that eventually turns to soil , not to mention that everything here was once covered in over a mile of ice 11,600 years ago . Also when the glaciers receipted or got destroyed they dragged around and left giant boulders everywhere as I'll see these giant boulders sometimes in piles randomly as I'm bushwhacking through the woods as I've spent countless hours hiking in this state . There's little to no evidence of any ancient megaliths in the New England area but that's just my opinion of course .
I can walk just about anywhere in the woods in NH and come across giant boulders within minutes of walking into the woods due to the Glaciers randomly dropping them everywhere as it's quite common . For example this dam structure in NH is from the 1800's and look how the trees have already grown into it as no trees or any soil was on it as it was clear cut just 150-200 years ago, if these stones were " ancient megaliths " they'd be covered in overgrowth . czcams.com/video/mlX7ZbO0yo0/video.html
By about 15,000 years ago, the ice sheet has melted as far north as the southern border of Vermont. We can still see the boulders and rocks left by those ice sheets today.
Thanks for the thoughts Manchester explorer. I have a few thoughts here but am at work and need to find a few sources before I respond. I'll follow up this evening.
@@mysteriousmountains 15,000 years ago as far as I know Northern America was all covered in ice as the younger dryas period was still around 11,600 years ago and New England was covered by the cordilleran ice sheet
"If these walls were ancient they would be destroyed by tree growth or buried in soil". There are many examples of trees going through walls, and many walls are built on boulders which are mostly submerged in soil. So I see what you're getting at but there is in fact many examples of the structures being buried partially in soil, which doesn't refute my idea. The small rocks are always placed on large boulders which would not have trees growing beneath them. There are numerous professionally archaeologically studied stone chambers in New England and New York which are built with massive stones, one specifically is 70 tons if my memory serves me, weighing as much as one of the largest granite blocks used in the great pyramid of giza. So while megaliths here are rare, many have already been documented.
Further, you say the ice sheet covered the region 11,000 years ago, and give a 5,000 year time frame in which trees would destroy these structures. Even if the structures are 3,000 years old, wouldn't you still call them ancient?
Plus the natives said there were 8 to 10 feet tall 6 finger giants red hair.they could of built them

The Granite does appear to have been carved, and it's so old and crumbly that the Granite must have been worked tens of thousands of years ago.
You might forward this to Uncharted X and Megalithic marvels channels etc.
I would love to have samples tested for age and rock type
@@jordankert6995 a friend of mine worked with decomposed Granite here in San Diego, and he believed that the D.G on his property took hundreds of thousands of years to brake down.
I think your Site may turn out to be more substantial than it appears, most of it may lie beneath the surface and what's visible is already immense.
@Lance Fall The DG is not something I considered, but that would explain the strange flaking appearance of the granite in parts, not something I have seen before. You reminded me of something, when I started looking at the area I did suspect much of the structures were buried and we could only see the tip of the iceberg in some places. I will revisit a particularly large set of structures in a few weeks that typify the DG and buried features and make a video on this. Thanks for spurring my memory.
@@jordankert6995 if you were to contact the Geology department at the local College, I'm sure they would gladly educate you on the aging of Granite and you would likely get a Professor interested in the project.
Hi Lance, I am curious what you think about this comment: Everything in this video is either natural or the result of land clearing. The structure at 4.00 is not native that is from the early settlers, I have seen one of these in Connecticut out in the woods where an old homestead long gone was, simply cold storage. I have seen piles of stones everywhere even on my parents property that was from when they were clearing land and building stonewalls to sell off parcels. If any of these walls were built by natives there would be lithic material everywhere in massive amounts. The natives would have no reason to waste energy building walls or balancing rocks either, just natural occurrence is all that is. Their wigwams were warmer than most English houses. Everything these days has to be something much bigger than what it is it seems. You may find some old stones with carvings for marking the solstice but that's about it.
Its hard to know what's original regarding "Americas Stonehenge". Unfortunately the guy who owned the land moved stones around to fit how he thought it should look,
We’re these taken in Raymond
They weren't
I am impressed with your 'eye of discernment' to SEE these ancient megalithic remains! Myself growing up in Southern Conn. our landscape is not obviously showing off almost any megalithic evidences to the common man on the street. Indeed, I' happy to say that I Got OUT of CT and through life's adventures ended up in Central American doing Mayan tours and later Israel which ancient stone age cultures go back as far as they can.
re: Graham Hancock - and tracing human development back 12,800 years this is For Sure a HUGE threat to the average Christian's today as they naively accept their pastors interpretation that EVERYTHING has to be contained within a 6000 year 'Box'! Yet, I am A Christian- but hold a Creationists Perspective and when you 'really' understand (Gen.1.-) all of this indeed does 'fit into place very succinctly! Thereby I encourage you to continue with your research and follow what you 'see'- despite an unsympathetic general public stuck-on its own self and closes its eyes to what truly is!!
Thank you!
Your story is interesting and inspiring
Nice. N the old man was a titan.
who traipses about in the woods in shorts, undershirt, and sandals?
Me 7 years ago
That was so sad. I couldn't believe how many times I had drove by the old man and when I heard he fell it was so😮 sad
We need more documentation if this was in Europe it would be a national treasure

I want to do some exploring! I'm in Londonderry. I am fat af and feel like this would be a great way to get out and lose some weight.
Old Yankees would not screw around wasting time and energy on those stone walls, look's like "dressed stones", that were worked by someone.
Quackadamia will never admit that these structures are far more ancient than they are lying about.
USA is extremely ancient civilization. The dates given by just about anyone are way off! We are not talking thousands of years. There so many findings in coal beds, river beds, mountain sides, stone or iron objects found. These coal beds are several hundred million years old. Without going into to much details. There are miles of prehistoric carvings visible still today, albeit very faint to the naked eye. All over USA. These structures that are being pointed out are in the ranges mentioned and no less. These we're built by giants, nephilim. Plenty of nephilim bones found all over USA. soon the scientific community will be made fools for the repeated hiding of the true age of these prehistoric sites.

Have you read anything by mary gage and James gage?
Something reminiscent in your findings and those of Jean Ward (see his CZcams films) of very clear NASA photos of Mars and the dozens ( Hundreds?) of 'rocks arranged upon' rocks on Mars , plus just too many geometric 'rocks' for commonsense to accept.
I will check him out. New england has 250k miles of stone walls at least, measured by LIDAR. Enough to build 6 giza pyramids and circle Earth 10x. Impossible to have been built by colonists.
What technology did the native Americans have that allowed them to move such large stones. I've seen well built cairns from W. MA up into NH but they were made with much smaller stone. I think without evidence that the big structures that the big stuff was glacially produced.
they put heavy stones on top of each other to cause pressure to make them "sing". the lighter rocks having more crystals and more vibrations.🍻
It's interesting you say that. There is a book www.amazon.com/Seed-Knowledge-Stone-Plenty-Megalith-Builders/dp/1571781846 that posits piezo electricity is generated from megalithic sites which were used to enhance seed growth.

@@jordankert6995 yeah ok, dinosaurs are real along with the pyramids and other obviously man made structures, you have nothing but natural occurrence and piles of stones from early settlers, again if these "structures" you claim were made by natives or pre natives they would be littered with thousands of lithic material, WHERE IS IT?...Dig a little and you should come up with thousands of pieces of debitage and stone tools but there are none because it is nothing but natural. The video you sent me is really cute and childish btw. Conspiracy clowns hate facts.
Thanks for the comments VenusIsle. Per the structure at 4:00, the interior is too small for a single person to fit inside, it doesn't make sense as storage. Certainly there are many stone piles in the area left by colonists clearing fields, but there are also stone rows which enclose nothing and are cited by Native historians as serpent effigies. If Natives wouldn't waste energy building stone structures, why would colonists waste their time doing the same? I find it hard to believe colonists built 1 mile+ walls in straight lines enclosing nothing one Boulder thick while organizing similarly shaped boulders together and sometimes pinning quartz stones in the walls. And what of commonly accepted native stone structures like turtle effigies? Are these just conspiracy theories?
@@jordankert6995 Yes the structure at 4.00 was merely storage. I have seen Mystery Hill, Gungywamp, Queens Fort and yes these were inhabited by Natives at one time but Gungywamp and Mystery Hill were obviously very reconstructed by early settlers. Yes effigies did exist I have been digging and collecting native artifacts for many years and have seen all sorts of carved stone pipes and trinkets, but large effigies are natural just like old man on the mountain. In native times there were no pigs or cows to ruin their corn beans and squash so to enclose a field with walls there would be no reason. The Queens Fort had some stone walls but this was not the norm. I could see maybe a V pattern to herd wild game into but I have never even seen that. Native American men lived a very idol life, the woman did all the work and the men hunted. They were not like Egyptians where thousands of men cut and moved large blocks of stone around with levers. Again I will say this, if there is what you claim then the place would be completely littered with lithic material, there would be debitage, stone tools, bones and burn pits also. Did a native stand on that stone while hunting, sure, could there be a marker carved in stone to show a spring a trail or mark a solstice? Absolutely but to say something is a megalith or native stone structure is easily debunked by the lack of lithic material period. Any archaeologist will tell you that.
@@gep2771 Per debitage, I haven't dug around these sites so it could be there. And how would you explain the Cahokia mounds site? It is cited as Pre-Columbian Native, perhaps these natives were less "idol" than post Columbian.

Maybe weave in words about being in these places...access, insect protection, safety. I suggest wearing pants.
You're absolutely right. I didn't realize the prevelance of tics in the area until recently. Will definitely be better suited up this spring and summer.
