Safford? Wtf
I love this channel. Just saw the copper in the shell ring in Ga video. I have heard stories of ball courts in the mountains of Ga. Maybe connected to the gold trade from north Ga to Mexico... Thank you for all of this pertinent and interesting info!
Thank you for this video. There is so much history right under our noses of ancient civilizations that we otherwise would never be privy to. Keep up the good work. A big fan.
I grew up in Tucson. In the 50's found a lot of pottery at the base of the Catalinas. All houses now. I found a Sandia point east of Tucson near Davidson Wash. Your video sure brings back memories. I have found so much that there is not enough room to comment on . Great video
In 1964 I showed my Catholic friend some stone carvings in a canyon north of Blythe. Some time later he asked me to take him there again. While he went to look at the carvings I went climbing and finally realized I was hearing him striking stone against stone so I climbed back down and discovered he was destroying the carvings. I stopped him and asked him why he was doing that and he said his Priest told him to destroy all non-Christian carvings. I was furious and took him home by a very circuitous route, hoping he couldn't find his way back. That was a valuable lesson for me, to keep any archaeological discoveries to myself.
Right on time! I just moved to Arizona!
Welcome. Try Pueblo Grande to start off.
We moved away and have been heartbroken ever since , we will return to Arizona! Enjoy
Those images of structures and geoglyphs are amazing. I would never have imagined those things would be in Arizona...why dont we know more about these ?. Absolutely amazing stuff dude, peace to ya.
I grew up in Lake Havasu. Arizona history was a required class and repeated again in high school. We learned all about the ancient canals, barely visible foundations of old structures and what may have been something like ziggurats or old grain silos made out of stone. The valley where Phoenix is has been occupied by very advanced cultures for many thousands of years. The evidence is everywhere. One of my high school teachers explained off topic that he believed that an ancient highly technologically advanced culture lived there with the ability to fly, like space craft. Of course we all laughed at him. This was in 1990. After the Phoenix lights, I doubt anyone is laughing at him anymore.
@@twangshanty9559 Thanks for your reply T, and it is really cool to know that these things are being talked about in schools over there. North America has such a rich ancient past that just isn't given the attention it deserves in the rest of the world. Thankfully, there are people like this dude who is making people like me aware of this amazing stuff...peace to ya from England.
we don't know anything about it because there is some sort of concerted effort to make us think our ancestors were nothing more than knuckle draggers, drooling idiots, and noble savages
@@wrongfootmcgee The dogmatic mindset that academia has taken in regards to north American ancient history is shameful. Anything that contradicts Clovis 1st is arrogantly dismissed. We now have much more evidence that there were people there before that. And yes, until Gobekli Tepe was dated to 13,000 years old...we were told that we were primitive cave people rolling around in the mud...we were not.
@@dazuk1969 you hit the nail on the head: arrogantly
i would go one father and accuse them of out right hubris, if not as i suggest; a systematic series of lies and omissions.
Wow, am totally blown away, never realised what wonderful history there was there, it is amazing, thank you for sharing, am literally picking my jaw off the floor now, beautiful!
I worked and lived in the southwestern United States many years ago and loved to search out the fascinating history of the area. I had the perfect job- working 4 days at 12 hours a day, then 4 days off. It felt like I was on vacation every other week. Being a boilermaker union member meant I was sent out to work at a number of mines and power plants across the country. I’d love to go back and visit again- after things settle down a bit!
To the west of Safford is Mt. Graham, a sky island. It's covered with pine trees at the top and very temperate.
We have tones of ancient historical locations across Arizona. Some cool places to checkout are
Polatkie heritage site
Walnut canyon
Wupatki national monument
Montezuma castle
Sunset crater
Antelope canyon
Painted rock petroglyph site
Just to name a few.
Well, shows there was far more going on in Arizona than I'd been led to believe (beyond the Anasazi, etc.) - which makes me wonder what and who else was living around the country and is anyone looking? So much we don't know - thanks for sharing. I'm sure there has to be more to discover even further back in time, as the glaciers didn't cover all of the US & the indigenous locals must have come from somewhere I'd imagine a long time ago...? 👍🦘🐾😮
No, they didn't come from anywhere. They had always been there before many areas turned into desert. Their excessive agricultural activities turned the area into a gigantic desert. Just look at their crazy irrigation systems. There must have been thousands if not millions of people living in Arizona.
Most compelling. Another superb video! Many thanks 🙏🏼
When I was a kid in Mesa , my step father was a well known vet. And right next to his hospital (on his property) was a dirt mound we would play on . One time while digging some roads and such for our Tonka trucks . We found broken pottery and some points . When we showed our step dad . He called ASU and they came and found it was a HoHoKam burial. I haven’t looked on google earth to see if it’s still there. We were never allowed to go back in there. And it was fenced off for protection.
The Mesa area was full of HoHoKam sites when first settled. Most are now gone,. Obliterated by progress.
Mesa grande is the only site preserved
@@lizd85018 thanks for the info.
Hello from Tucson. Arizona is packed with this stuff . Glad your covering it.
I found your page because of an Arizona video. I live in Phoenix and its always great to find places to visit. Thank you for your hard work.
Oh wows I never heard of these agave farms either
Excellent presentation!! A+, thank you🙏
I love visiting the Native American ruins in AZ. They are absolutely amazing to see, especially Montezuma Castle, the way the ruins are built right into the mountain.
This is amazing. In Europe these would be considered national treasures. Or in most other countries but in America it's unknown I have been interested in the subject for many years and just found out about a lot of these unbelievable. Thank you for your work.
Love the intro sound quality and the locations are always something I never seen!!!!
Crazy how much history there is all over the world...human history
Academia would rather not discuss it.
Thanks for sharing!
Great talk.
Now that is some interesting stuff
Sweet, thanks for the info.😎👌
Cool video Chuck! I subscribed to Archeology Southwest. Thanks for the input!
Very good video. I enjoy your channel. Thank you so much for your hard work and your thoughts and information. Greg Chaney in coastal NC
Congrats on 100k!
Thank You! ! ! !
In the areas I hike in Arizona not only do I come across extensive middens, but also campites within these areas and ancient dams along floodplains where water was manipulated to irrigate crops.
Unfortunately, much is being destroyed due to cattle grazing on these lands.
There is so much to see around the Phoenix area. When I lived in Phoenix it seemed like I could find a new place every weekend. If you like this area there is a book called Gila: The Life and Death of an American River. Lots of great information on how much the land changed as more people moved in. The weather changes we see today have been happening for a very long time and water use can sustain only if the weather cooperates. Great video and perfect timing to see some amazing things in the low desert. In the summertime, it is too hot for words. If you want to see some amazing things from the road, a trip up HWY 288 is a good one. Globe / Miami area north to the rim.
Love your videos!!! So much interesting information on ancient america!! Ever do a video on the Sanilac petroglyphs in Michigan? Looking forward to more of your great videos!!
Thanks from Phoenix
Factual history is inconvenient. Thanks for this info.
There was a ball court, at new river, off happy valley road, I believe it was undocumented. There is also a burial ground on jomax off the bank of the augua fria River.
They should be protected.
Check out the stone structure in the ocean just west of the south jetty in warrenton Oregon. Daily Astorian wrote a article about it titled “in one ear written in stone.”
Hi from the UK :-) Great video, thx.
That's amazing the scale just negates the entire premise of anything we've basically been told about pre history.
No, it doesn't. People with the actual appropriate education have known about these things for a very long time. There IS more being discovered almost every day, and some even have brand new information, but they are additions to existing knowledge, not some new revelation of "lies" we were told.
You embraced their beloved lies. Welcome to the light my brother.
The top of san gorgonio mountain has a few structures also. Google them . Very interesting.
I found many ruins on Google Earth looking around the area.
Was wondering if you have any information on 🏰🌟🏰 Star forts or old locations of starforts around United states. They are usually next to water or canals and many of them have be removed or destroyed. The history behind them built in the 1800 is very hidden history? Really enjoy your work. 💯 Thanks 💯
i can imagine that basin being a lake when goat hill was inhabited!! :)
your vids blow me away every time ! Can you have a look at Australia please ? I've lived here 55 years and Im convinced similar things exist here. I spend hours looking at aus on google earth and it looks like cental aus was an ocean that has been drained. cheers mate,love your work
Check out VBarV ranch, verdi valley rim rock etc. Toozigoot area There are tons of un recorded sites some un touched with their clay doors still on the structures with pottery still in tact inside the dwellings.
Hello yinz good day.
Must be a western pennsylvanian. Johnstown PA here☝️
@@sumtngwong4073 yeah BeaverFalls PENNSYLVANIA. GO PENZ.
Beutifull introduction,those stunning epic photo/map landscape sweeps,really make your continent shine,and make me have faith that it all relates to a living landscape.and interesting too,the snake a living symbol around the hottest highest desert in the world.you should research the dam family symbol of the first creature(snake)fire/creative fire/hairs on the back of your neck-T piller carvings/shiva/pharo symbol
That perforated plate would make a nice cook top over a wood fire. Put 3 or 4 properly spaced rocks around a bed of coals to give it support and presto! You have a cooktop.
Around 2:35 was the Bouse fisherman.
Great material. Really appreciate the work all you guys are doing. Just think, Jim Thorpe Olympic Gold Medalist, football player/coach and the first President of the NFL.
The Lakato defeated the American Union Army.
First, Native American Confederate General Stand Watie and the Cherokee, last to surrender to the Union Army.
Real American important history. Very cool.
...and the Seminoles never being conquered.
I live in az and every inch has ancient ruins I explore every weekend
Thank you for expanding my universe. So much to be learned and explored. Wonder how much of meso American influence was! There had to be trade and cultural transfer.
I lived in Arizona, Apache Junction, 1970,on the edge of Superstitions Mountains.
At a barbecue, friends ask how I could maintain miles of trails.
In the morning, I would take a couple dozen ice cubes, if I saw grass I wanted to get rid of, I'd put ice cubes on the ground.
The ants would find the water and take the grass away.
Work with mother nature.
Hey CF,
If you PAUSE at 3:25, I believe the "Blythe Intaglios" is on California's border... Correct me if I'm wrong... also, it bears a striking resemblance to the Orion Constellation.
Your thoughts...
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blythe_Intaglios
I think he did make that connection in one of his vids.
Check out the “Mohave Twins ”. It looks like a hunter after a psychedelic toad to me
@@budgreenjeans2001 please post a link. I'd like to look at that.
@ Joey BoX0RoX ruclips.net/video/81AF-qSgWXE/видео.html
@@budgreenjeans2001 Fascinating images. Thank you friend!👍
Wow great stuff over the years l have heard about extensive ancient canal systems, all over North America, mostly all heavily eroded, filled in added on, but many still intact and used, locals being unaware of their significance , in the end one has to ask , how did they move all that material, and how did they survey , such big systems.
like the Erie Canal, which is actually ancient but rediscovered and dug out by the "New World" settlers
There used to be a Medicine Wheel just North of Tucson. Unfortunately the landowner wanted to set up his property as a big game hunting destination, and when he got wind of the historic site, in came a backhoe and the Wheel disappeared before authorities found out about it. So what else is new????
Hey bud. Is there anything that you have found in southern Alberta, Canada ?
We do have a ancient Buffalo jump. However anything obscure that has been left out of the history books. Watch your videos all the time, brother.
Respect from Canada
I think there were structures in Canada but whatever the catastrophic event/s were that destroyed things elsewhere in the world was so powerful further north that nothing remains. This looks interesting but could well be natural. ruclips.net/video/rEtEwo9eAKc/видео.html
@@thedarkmoon2341 Yeah I did some research on the comments hitting the glaciers and all that scab land in Washington and how it might’ve flowed by where I live. However I’m thinking it was farther east. However when that kind of power is unleashed all things disappear. Thanks buddy.
Respect from Canada
@@thedarkmoon2341 Interesting video. That is quite a distance from where I live. I live in Lethbridge Alberta.
I live in Kingman area. And I'm ready to go hunting for secrets.
Many pottery shards and arrow heads along the highway north of Pima
Thank you for spreading the info!
Damn this stuff is all over the place.
Funny, the canals look like a Pheonix!
So close to Mesa Verdi I went and found pottery shards the same as you have found there. Anasazi??
West southwest of hope mountain and a couple miles north of Bear Camp on the big ORO-JJJ it's called today ...there is an 800ad. city on a hill. Hope you have coordinates enough to find it . Dozen or two round rock houses collapsed and untouched artifacts. Only people know about it are a couple old cowboys...
Never heard of this stuff bro im Phoenix native namaste and shit.
Same here! I grew up in Tucson! My halfbreed grandmother grew up in Phoenix. I’ve always been fascinated with the history of the area. I’m well aware that there’s tons of ruins but had no idea it was so expensive.
Hmmm. Interested to see how their 'ball' was played.. 🤔
What is it about these oval depressions that makes them ball courts? That's what I want to know.
With their enemies heads?
I wish I could find that video that had the erie canal being ancient. Does anyone know where to find it?
It is ancient. I walk the canal often
Look at the aerial view of 4-corners! It’s a Fox with its tail curled around
Mormons be wildin out in Eastern Arizona
Moormons are children of cannanite Moors
I wonder who originally built the canals. I know they say who built them but I find that a little too easy. Different peoples through time probably found them, used them, modified and reworked them and perhaps claimed they built them, that's what people tend to do.
They are using a lot of key line type planting permaculture techniques
RIP CHUCK
Have you gotten into Tartarian theory?
Have you seen this?
Rip
Another idea for a video you could do so well/purely for natural history not architectural, is the historical account of diamond back snakes living with prairydogs in there burrows with them simbiotically,untill man came along.no one has told the snake story well,and your good at telling
What happened to the Shroud video?
I have many on my channel. Just figuring out how to present my new one without it being blocked.
@@cfapps7865 I've watch most of your ancient videos. I just remember you talking about it this past holidays and never heard you speak much more on it. Thanks for replying. 😊
RIP CHUCK
I'm thinking we should stop using BC when referencing years. I've noticed, rightly or wrongly, the younger population doesn't seem to know what it means. And it just means to say the total years back.
Im in Yuma.
Here in American Southwest whom were the Indians here ?
And ......
were the structures here buried in a catastrophic event?
Is that why there are no pyramids exposed in NA ?
Somebody please answer ?
Pima, Apache are two I know of.
They hide the past so that the mass population will keep going forward and create industry and tech so they the few can save themselves from the coming rebirth cycle. And then it starts all over again.
Yuma was the tribe in that area. Hence, the name
Uh um, super...uh um...interesting uhhhh
The ranchers have made Arizona much drier and much worse. They also destroyed many archaeological sites.
Snake!
I don't think it was corn growing. I think it was rice growing by the Giant populations who were living here, probably a strain of wild rice. Climate different back then.
4:30 Were those really meant to be crops, though? Why such weird shapes? It couldn't have been hard to make a more even grid pattern. It reminds me of the drystone walls of Scotland. They go all over the landscape in some areas, and we are told they were sheep paddocks or field boundaries. If so, then they were made by drunks.
Definitely not accepting the story behind the canals. We are expected to believe that primitive people, using only simple tools of stone, scraped out hundreds of miles of waterways? I want to see this demonstrated.
How do you not believe that they made canals? The Aztecs made an entire city surrounded by canals, which is now Mexico City, canals aren't necessarily state of the art technology either.
Okay well theres basically no reason for it to be a perfect grid, and what do you think they’d be if not canals?
@@edwardcarrington3531 It's not the canals I'm disputing, it's the idea that people made them by laboriously scraping at the ground with stones, for hundreds of miles across the land, which is the usual mainstream quackademic explanation for everything. They never demonstrate their claims by doing it themselves. I think we are looking at the remnants of some kind of technology. There are canals all over the United States, now obscured by swamps and forests, or submerged along coastlines. No way were they made by loincloth-wearing natives with flint tools; but they also couldn't have been made by white people later on, because the timeline is well off.
The children of the fallen ones built the first civilizations many Natives tell stories of giants.
@@dontjustbeanotherbrickinthewal okay, everyone here agrees that you're a clown tho.
isn't it the Snake and an Egg? Or is the egg symbolic of the Urth? Or maybe I am conglomerating things not meant to be
when u get a chance can you tell me if alpine butte, cal. looks man made @cf-apps7865
Anything in Kansas? Pawnee Indians? Kansa?
Everything was more or less fine until that first spaniard took his ride up the amazon
Are you using Google earth?
So is this proof the Aztec or Mayans were in the southwest USA?
Some think the HoHoKam came from that culture.
But why would the Maya who live mainly in the Yucatan jungle and SOUTH going into Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, etc...be all the way up there? Most of the indigenous peoples North of them speak Nahuatl and are descendants of the Mexica, Pueblo, Totonacas, Purupechas and other cultures. Why would the Maya suddenly appear North of all those cultures? The Veracruz culture which is Maya like is farther North but that's still in the Gulf of Mexico and their cities were abandoned over 2000 years ago! There was definitely exchange of ideas and we know items, like parrots and turquoise were exchanged... but the farthest Northern evidence of the Maya is at Teotihuacan where a section of the city is decorated for Maya dignitaries. That means that they went up North to trade and perhaps Politic. But Arizona? 🤔 Plus if Maya architecture survives as well as it does in the middle of the Jungle, imagine what it would look like in a desert! 🤯 There are buildings down there. I do wonder what if any connections they had. We do know that they drank Chocolate and had macaws... some Mexican went up there!
Mayan Blue may have some answers for you. A unique pigment that requires a special clay known from Attapulgus Georgia USA seems to have rumors of Mayan's in the general area carving stone relics just like they did it back home. Used to be a video on YT that showed one being used as a company's yard art in the lawn out front along with other heretical mayan claims that was "debunked" as nonsense by archeology authorities of the typical sample. Might not be able to find that video anymore. I didn't have a means to save it at the time, nor did I think to save a link to it either, sorry. Although there are sources for the Palygorskite clay closer, they may have not been in sufficient quantities to maintain a proper and adequate flow rate of sacrifice to please the rain god Chaak. The Georgia deposit is world class in size and is still surface mined.

Centuries-old Maya Blue Mystery Finally Solved

My pet theory is that the southern tribes came north to capture sacrifices and trod them back down there to die in the Sacred Cenote (a natural well) at Chichén Itzá. This prompted the locals in the USA proper to build their houses up high in unreachable cliff dwellings as one possible means of escape. The only other was to migrate well away from the area as they came from a region with far better rain fall patterns and amounts while being quite plentiful at the same time.
great vid maybe get someone to narrate
That guy says Umm_um more than he says any other word. after awhile it becomes very annoying
please don't guzzle while making a video
