I received my undergraduate degree in Colorado, and I am currently pursuing my PhD in geology. Your video is very accurate in terms of all accounts of the geologic history of the region. Colorado is the most exceptional area in the United States for learning geology, and I make sure to come back every year to visit all of the fascinating locations available to the geoscientist.
Utah is more interesting
@@kennethgibson1092fuck Utah bud.
I have lived here my whole life and so has my family dating back 5 generations. I got really emotional during this documentary and I am so happy you did such a stellar job in making it, the respect and care you put into this production is without flaw. I had no idea about 99% of what was told in this program and it really showed me how I cant take for granted the epic history lying under my feet that supports my life and the lives of everything I love. thank you so so much.
Me too, I come from a pioneer family in the San Luis Valley. And I learned a lot from this amazing video.
As a Colorado native I absolutely loved this documentary! The topographic views and computer animation were amazing. Thank you so much!!
Navajo native??
I am a Colorado native. I don't live there anymore but my heart will always be in Colorado❤ Great documentary💜
@@bettyboop4263 Ute ?? ..Lakota??
As a Native™ of 1 year myself, I wholeheartedly agree!
Foreal though stop calling yourself native if you aren't native american.
@@PanthraxIV you are RIGHT👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❗
I can only imagine the amount of work that went into making this all come together. brilliant. I agree with Gondwana " This video sets a new standard for any self-respecting institution when it comes to describing the geological history of any region they wish to study."
I wish this was a series, covering several parts around the world. So good!
I am in gratitude and respect for the people who have made this video. The way it is laid out to show where the cities are all along the time line , the geological movement in respect to now and the million year ticker on the side ... excellent. .. will share this to many. 😊
I second that.
100% agree!!
Stupid is as stupid does.
Agree except for the terrible voice over. I had to put CC on just to make it through.
why did you not tell them to turn the music up MUCH louder?
This is quite literally 1/3 RUclips videos I watch over and over again.
Other videos pls????
Absolutely superb video. Can't wait to return to Colorado. This time with a wife and two children to share it with. Thank you.
I would like to shake the hand of the people who made this video. Just stunning.
Sure, just go to Shell or Chevron. Their executives would love to your shake your hand. It would give them another opportunity to tell you how awesome oil in in Colorado, the jobs it brings, blah blah blah.
I didn’t once hear oil portrayed negatively
This is wonderful.....the animated map of the changing continents and water. Priceless. So grateful to all involved.
Every aspect of this presentation is a class act! I lived in Colorado for ten years and I learned much more from this presentation than I did when I lived there. Thank you, keep up your good work.
not too late to "unlearn" lies
Can’t believe it took me so long to find this video. I moved to Boulder from Chicago, and lived there for 4 years. To this day wish I had never left!
Great video. Also kudos on the timeline box in the lower right.
Plus, you used Christopher Scotese’s incredible animations of plate tectonics. Again, very well done!
my friday night: crackin some PBrs wand watching geology videos on youtube.
Sounds like a party
Not sure you could do any better. It's what I spend my time doing as well.
Party animal
Ayyy high as balls here lol nothing else better to do
Sunday edibles mornings are the best.
This is amazing. It really illustrates how dynamic the Earth's surface is. I bet the vast majority of people had no idea that the land of Colorado was once south of the equator. I didn't know that the area was mostly flat "only" 18 million years ago. I had always assumed that the mountains were revealed and generally shaped 60 million years ago when the rock formed and uplifted. Colorado's climate started warming 20,000 years ago at the peak of the most recent glacial period. I enjoy hiking and climbing all around the state. I'm always looking at the rock and amazing geomorphology of the landscape.
Best state ever. Love every second, of every day living here. The weather is second to none. If you enjoy the outdoors, nothing compares to Colorado.
Amen.
No, weather is only giant snow storms, the outdoors are crowded with dangerous animals, no one should come here!
@@dubthedirector Agreed. Very dangerous to come here and live. No question. Stay in the state you live in, much safer....
@@dubthedirector yes agreed Colorado is the worst place to live dont come here
Dubthedirector hehehe I see watch you did there.😂 Oh wait I mean they did nothing they are telling the truth it’s terrible my friend was frozen in a block of ice on his way to school and bears ate him
I took a few geology courses including geomorphology decades ago. Over the years I always look at rocks and landforms, especially when I visit Colorado and remember those fascinating lessons. Thank you so much for this wonderful refresher!
This the finest geographic history of Colorado ever !!! I’ve vacationed and explored Colorado for nearly 50 yrs. I’ve been to nearly every National Park. As a Kansan this my get away state for recreation; skiing, hiking and just plain sight seeing. Oh and I want to thank Colorado for all the dirt provided.
I’m trying to plan a trip so see national parks. I am based in Colorado and will be traveling by car. Which national parks were your favorite? We recently got back from moab and dead horse national park and it was all breathtaking. I had never seen desert like that before.
Really freakin' cool to see the timeline of geological history for my home area in such a comprehensive format- Thank you to all involved in this video's creation. Will watch this several times.
❗🤔❗ Well, let me offer up a more realistic, "alternate" timeline: Approx 6,000 years ago, on a Wednesday, God wished the Earth into existence. That next Saturday, he took a rib from Adam and created Eve. For the first few hundred years, it was just Adam, Eve, and dinosaurs roaming the land. Then God got angry, and all the dinosaurs died during the great flood. But Noah saved ALL of the hundreds of thousands of other living creatures on his ark.
👉 Then, when there was but 1 giant continent called "Pangaea", Jesus and the Israelites moved from Israel to Utah. They walked because buses hadn't been invented yet. Then Columbus discovered America(again... Jesus had already been here, remember)! Joseph Smith later learned about Jesus already having lived in America, when the angels showed him the golden plates, which he used to write the book of Mormon.
Oh, I forgot to talk about all that geological stuff. Well, it was all created during the 40 days and 40 nights of flooding created by God's angry wrath, when Noah saved all the animals but decided not to save ANY dinosaurs(because he was worried they'd eat all the other animals on the ark). Doesn't that seem like a more more logical explanation? Any questions? 😁
Probably one of the best geology videos I have ever watched!
jmonty31 You’re not to smart
jmonty31.
For me... remove Probably!
Check out Nick on the Rocks and his lectures as well. ✌️
I am a Colorado native and enjoyed this video very much.
I am a Colorado native and enjoyed this video very much.
Great timeline! I'll have to watch this many times to internalize the geologic history. Well researched, well written, well narrated. Thanks
Fantastic journey, this touched on and explained more in 25 minutes then I learned in high school growing up here. Thanks so much
I have no words to describe this breath-taking, stuningly beautiful video. From the tectonic history of the area to the level of detail in the graphics and the voice over. This video sets a new standard for any self-respecting institution when it comes to describing the geological history of any region they wish to study.
This must be the first time I get genuinely emotional watching this kind of documentary. Thank you so much for the upload and my utmost respect, admiration and gratitude for the people involved in the creation of this video (including the past and present generations of geoscientists that gathered the data that made this possible).
It’s called propaganda.
Isn’t it suspicious how positive they were in the video about oil?
It take a certain amount of maturity to appreciate the amount of work that goes into this kind of production. But don't worry along will come an ignorant democrat voting millennial and make a stupid comment about how bad or wrong it is. Because the dumb ignorant uneducated stupid millennial is trying its best to look smart by down talking everything it comes across. Democrats will ruin Colorado in less than 50 years. Colorado will be just like California very soon.
@@Cindy-ls3dj It's well on its way, sorry to say.
Reunite Gondwanaland
Cindy keep your politics out of my geology videos
Just awesome!! I have wastedmy life watching television. This stuff is what America needs more of!!
Holy smokes. Maybe the best most professional interesting quality thing I have ever seen on RUclips. Nicely done and thank you.
I often re-watch this video and see something new every time. This is the best geology video!
I was just about to start working/being productive and RUclips threw this at me. The temptation. Powerless and ashamed i clicked and began watching. You got me again!
Seriously though, great video.
Splendid work, gentlemen. Lots of good data, no talking heads.
What a delight! Thank you, 7 years late. Very well done guys.
The Glenwood canyon is truly something to behold. Absolutely awe-some
Have been a visitor to Colorado since I was a kid and always marveled at the geology and topography. This was outstanding in giving a brief history of forces and change to what is seen today. Great work folks!!
that was such a good documentary. Easily followed, lots of extra details, like the moving geologic timeline, great pictures and names of places I wrote down. thanks
This was SO informative, thank you!! Thinking about all of the discovery and innovation that went in to understanding all of this is mind boggling and incredible!
This was so awesome I thank God everyday for planting me in this beautiful state :) fantastic video.
I pray to God to let me live in that state lol
I live in a small town surrounded by giant mountains in co and I swear some days when everything is going wrong... I just look at them, breath deep and everything feel right again. They are so unbelievably beautiful it feels like taking a drug, it's a really comfortable protected feeling.
Same here!!!!!
Thank you for an extremely entertaining and informative video. Now I understand the history behind all the world class scenery from our national park trip.
Excellent presentation. Thank you very much. I've lived in Colorado most of my life and appreciate its natural beauty more all the time.
Brilliant production! As a longtime developer of collegiate Geology texts (Tarbuck, Hamblin, Skinner, etc.), I deeply appreciate the power of this production as a teaching tool. Bravo!!
"teaching" more b.s. for indoctrination?
Thanks for loading this precious documentary. Greetings from the Swiss Alps!
This was a really stunning video. I put it on in the background while doing other tasks but I couldn't look away. Very well done.
That bit at the end there where the pattern left by the credits mirrored the different directions of the strata in the final shot . . . brilliant. Just brilliant.
This is a spectacular presentation. Now I have a much clearer understanding of the geology of Colorado.
Wow! THE best geology video I've ever seen. Incredibly comprehensive, extending far beyond Colorado. I'd love to see this creator expand their content.
Great, great job. Geology made accessible to the unenlightened.
Appreciate the soft touch on the background music. Complemented rather than diminished.
Thank you very much for the education.
You mean propaganda
Unenlightened lol douche
What a piece of history-art you put together here! Thank you kindly whom ever did this
A very brief ,concise and to the point. Thank you Sir, you did a great contribution in our geological time.
The narration and music selection make this a soothing geology video!
I LOVE this! So fascinating about the geology and also the facts about the areas... very good!❤️
Fake 🤫
This is how you make a geology history video. this must have taken so much time! I would love to see others.
another more believable perspective of the geologic evolution of Colorado and the world ruclips.net/video/fFrLkNrATGA/видео.html ruclips.net/video/NovvYzzOI70/видео.html
"this must have taken so much time! "
I see what you did there.
With oil company propaganda? Isn’t it suspicious how positive they were in the video about oil?
@@technusking If it's that obvious, it's not suspicious, by definition.
@@srats56 Oh!!!! Right!!!! GIGANTIC TREES!!! And all scientists are deluded. That explains everything!!!! Thank you. Now I'm woke!
This video really helps getting a sense of geologic time. Plus it's gorgeous.
Being a colorado Native, I knew part of it had once been submerged by an inland sea, but that it was an island, an equatorial rainforest, deserts, sea floor, had glaciers and been underwater almost as long as it's been above water, that's amazing! Just to hear the phrase "Colorado's East Coast" is mind boggling... I wonder what other places have had so many different geological ups and downs and have turned out so beautiful for us to witness today.
Yes, all land was submerged during the great flood. It's amazing how videos like this, although misleading in the areas of how things were formed, it does confirm a lot of the Bible's teachings.
@@raydavis108 there was no global flood. End of story.
@@raydavis108 - amazing how gullible you people are. Do you realize that there are hundreds of billions of stars in the milky way galaxy (where we live, in case you didn't know it), and now due to the Hubble telescope, we also know that there are hundreds of billions of other galaxies in the universe? And you think that the humans that occupy the earth are significant? Get over yourselves.
@@terryrust4973 Amazing you believe all that although you have zero physical evidence from which to make such claims. You believe the Hubble telescope is where you are told it is and it sees what you are told it sees.
I do not know one way or the other what is true and what is not yet you are totally confident everything they tell you is 100% true.
On various parts of earth you cannot use a cell phone for communications yet you believe Billions of miles into space Hubble can send back signals we can pick up crystal clearly.
And you say those who believe the bible are gullible.
Maybe they are but you are even more gullible for believing the photo of earth from voyager1 taken how many millions of miles from earth yet it never took a picture of earth any closer. And what did it show? 1 pixel on a huge background with an arrow saying " We are here". And you believe such rubbish.
@@raydavis108the flood of the Bible has not been documented by geology (There is no geologic evidence of a global flood during the time man has been on earth).
So good. I wish more documentaries were like this. They are too slick with nearly non stop dramatic music.
Look at who funded the video. You will understand why it was “so good”
Amazing video! 10/10!! Narration, CG, everything about this video was excellent! I learned so much!!!!! Thank you!
"unlearn"
I wish there was a similar video for every state.
The epidemic left me without a job, but with time to watch documentaries like this! I agree with others that the background music is not distracting, grateful for that, and the graphics are super. This video is nicely paced, informative, and I really appreciate the work that went into creating it. I'll watch it again and try and absorb more of the interesting info here!
When I took college geology in 1964 they were still working on plate tectonics, in fact I wrote a short paper on isostaic disequilibrium, the early interpretation. Amazing they can figure out the details examined here.
My gosh this video coming to me like a dream . Thanks for your support
On a recent tour around Colorado I was fascinated by the variety of rock formations and beauty of the landscapes. Thanks for the clear explanation of how these came into existence by way of excellent graphics and animations.
I love how it confirms the Bible's teachings on how the mountains were created during the flood.
@@raydavis108 why don't you thump your biBULL somewhere else!
@@raydavis108 - too bad the bible doesn't confirm how you idiots were created during the flood.
Wonderful visualization of geological processes and their embedding into the plate tectonics. Really shows how mountain ranges that to us human observers seem eternal in fact are built up and eroded away when given enough time.
Thanks from Germany for this video.
Beautiful Colorado!
Thank you for this fascinating documentary
Hard to imagine a place with the current average height of 6,800 feet as being a vast inland waterway - but I guess the rocks and fossil's don't lie. AMAZING geological detective work and the absolute best chronological geographical representation of Colorado's history as has ever been presented ! KUDOS to you fellows for using your knowledge, skills, abilities and patience to put it all together... truly a masterpiece ! Congratulations, and thank you for sharing !
Sure,, fossils don't lie...............................................but..... PEOPLE DO~!~ BETTER THAN 90% OF THIS PRESENTATION IS ABSOLUTE SPECULATION!!! FACT!!! Continental drift is only a theory, and has much to be desired, as far as factual "land-movement" is concerned! In order for any land mass movement, such as a continent, it would have to divorce itself from it's roots/base, which goes down below the surface hundreds/thousands of miles. In order for huge land masses to move, they would have to have an open pathway for that movement. Any other land mass(es) would have to move at the very same time in order to allow this movement. And, the diameter of the earth would be also altering, which hasn't happened. An example of this is made by taking an ordinary balloon and filling it with only half it's normal volume of air, and then drawing the continents with a magic marker all around the balloon. If you want the continents to "move", you would have to blow the balloon up fully, which represents the changing of the diameter of the earth, and of course, earths diameter is constant, therefore ""drifting"" of continents is not possible! Another example is taking an orange, which represents earth, and separating all the segments, which represents the earths matter/crust, and putting them together as a sphere again. Try to move a segment around to a different position,,,, you can't! Because just like the orange segment, the land masses are not islands, or, a raft,, that can drift only because it's not solidly founded. As I said, the drifting theory, is just that, a theory!!!
I'd LOVE to see where you got this "knowledge" from. @SonnyCannon
Sonny Cannon so what is enough evidence for you?? The fact that South America fits in perfectly with Africa, and you can find similar plants and fossils on both continents
Anyone who punctuates his spew with ____________ is *just* a theory only reveals him or herself to be a blithering idiot, impaired by religion.
pangea bitch
Thank you so much for posting this fantastic video. I have students study our rocks and fossils, trying to piece together the history of the state. Now they can really visualize it by watching this video! Really well done, love when you show the actual rocks that tell us what was happening during certain time periods. I wish it went back even further, to Precambrian times! There is, however, way too much about the oil and coal deposits, but it was made for the AAPG so I guess that is to be expected (Amer. Assoc. of Petroleum Geologists!)
By far the best video explaining this topic
Great visuals and easy to understand info
You guys did an awesome job of creating this presentation. Four years later, I've seen few as good. Thank you.
This is an amazing piece of work. I will be thinking on this for awhile…and rewatching. Thank you.
That was fascinating, interesting and extremely well done, thank you. Best 25 minutes spent in a long time. I think this type of presentation would be cool and interesting for states in other geographic regions of the U.S. as well.
tj...My thoughts also. I live in Arkansas and it also has a diverse geologic past and would love to see this production team do one on Arkansas, The Natural State.
Just recommend any state with oil, I guarantee they will make it. Oil companies love making Bs like this that tricks dumb people into supporting oil.
Yikes, how far we have fallen
Michael W what if... you’re the dumb one?

Thank you for this documentation of fascinating geological history.
Excellent graphics and clear explanation of amazing geo-history, thanks, I learned something today
This is one of the best explain geology videos out there
Incredibly beautiful portrayal of Colorado's geologic history.
The quality of the graphics is off the scales. Just amazing!!!!!!!!!!
This is one of the coolest videos I've watched in a long time
That was the most fascinating video! I learned so much. Even the end credits were brilliant! Thank you!
This deserves an Oskar for best geology documentary and education.
It's disinfo
The history channel should make a video like this for every state and countries too. This is a real improvement on the whole do it in your imagination that I learned with.
Wow. Excellent work. We can all easily see so much more now in the landscape of Colorado just from one well done 24 minute video. Thank you!
This was one of the best videos I've seen on RUclips in a while. Great education about the State I live in. I loved it.
As a third generation native this had me hanging on every word. It is now saved and will be shared with family right after this comment. Love Colorado history and learned a lot from this. My father would have loved this! My grandfather, his dad, was a surveyer in the state for the National Geological Society. I remember backpacking in and camping on Gore Creek without seeing anyone outside our party for a full week. The one drawback to the beauty, everyone who sees it wants to stay. Can't blame them though. I live on the front range again but also spent many years on the eastern plains. I would have liked to seen more about that also.
You certainly knocked this one out of the park! Awesome presentation. Thank You.
Though I am not a CO native, after a decade in the Springs, I now call this state home. I do find it interesting that anyone could visit this area and retain a 'New Earth' belief.
how tall was this candle before i lit it? you can,t know..
@@johnrogers7620 lol, yeah you got it all figured out. All it takes is "faith", right? How about a bit of "faith" in what can be proven then? ...you know, SCIENCE!
@@GrumblingGrognard hello friend. let it be known that i love science. however, first off, in regards to science, not all truth is taught, and therefore corrupt. secondly, we only know what we know. the unknowns are still unknown. so, you could say that the unknowns make it difficult to know what you know. in conclusion, it,s hard to make good decisions with bad information. you know?
@@johnrogers7620 No, that is double-talk. That "logic" basically indicates that because we do not 'know' everything nothing we know is (more) worthy (than fantasy).
@@GrumblingGrognard no.... what i said was, your science is flawed. do you recall the scab lands debate.? the powers that were, ruinedf one mans career because of pride. your science pride has blinded you to the truth.. many years ago the patent office was demkmed useless because nothing new could be invented.. and then.. look.. something new was invented. get off your high horse and join reality.. or? dont comment on other peoples opinions. i clearly dont have all the facts.. and you dont either.. good day sir.!
This is great! Very understandable and very watchable. I wish every state had a video like this. Thank you for publishing this.
Worth every second of my time in this Colorado history. Thank you.
What a great video. Nice voice work - simple and beautifully paced. I'm subbing in hope of more videos of length
This is an amazing video...thank you so much for making this very interesting and informative video...if I had not come across this I would have never known this amazing information...
Thank you again...
I would love to see many more videos like this,but I know it takes years to put something like this together...
Well done everyone...
Starting BEFORE pangea, this geological history of Colorado fascinates with great maps, excellent research and consistent attention to detail by knowledgeable scientist/geologists.
An absolute awesome presentation and the best I have ever seen. The time and hours of study to put this much knowledge together must be tremendous. I love the way the video shows Colorado as it relates to the land as it moved. I never knew it was below the equator for so long. Then as the presentation moves through time, it shows great examples of what a particular past time period created. It's just a fantastic way to help understand how our planet has evolved over many many years. The geologist that understand all of this are amazing, and it's so fascinating. I would love to see other states produce this type of video as well. Congratulations on an excellent presentation and thanks for sharing it!
I am so glad I clicked on this video. Might just be one of the most interesting videos I have ever watched.
Magnificent job in describing historical geology! Bravo!
Just what a relatively new (15 yrs) Coloradan needed. Thank you!
This was an amazing video! Colorado wasn’t a place on my list to visit before, and now it is! I hope to see these videos on other states as well! Really well put together piece:)
You will be glad! It is one of our gems...upbeat, sunny, geologically fascinating...and so beautiful. No, I do not live there...but I went to school in Boulder. A wonder I did not flunk out, as I did not like to study on sunny days..
Outstanding! I never realized that mountains weren't simply pushed out of the ground... I had always assumed that's what plate tectonics was saying, that one plate pushes rocks up and that's how we get mountains... I never realized that it pushed up relatively flat ground and then water carved out the mountains we see now. I've lived in Colorado all my life... I've visited all those parks... I saw Metallica at Red Rocks on my 16th birthday... this was sooo fascinating, nostalgic, informative... and just outstanding.
Great doc. Missing closed captions however
Just superb! Reminds me of my vacation 2007. Just loved the geology of Mesa Verde and Great Sand dunes. This video was well done.
My goodness, I am 63 years old, and when i was, oh maybe 22 or 23 i lived in Leadville and worked at Climax Mine. WoW From what i have seen on the pictures of the town, Man has it changed. After the mine i worked at Taber restaurant washing dishes. I don`t know if the Side Door is still there, i worked there as well. Had some really good times in that town. some or i should say most i will always remember,,,,,,,,
...wow! I want to shake your hand
beautifully and technically produced great use of applications, music, geological history and presented in an interesting and informative way.
Awesome educational tool for all ages. Two thumbs up!
Awesome compilation. Makes you feel tiny and so wise at the same time.
Grew up in Basalt ( AKA Ute Junction As to Aspen was first known as Ute city ) Gramps was one of Colorados' first wild life officers , Showed me many places, From east to west & North and south... Been to all of these places and all are even more awsome in person ! I still have places I would like to go here in Colorado !
Scott T I’ve grown up in Glenwood Springs. Couldn’t have asked for a better area to live.
I since have move to southern Colorado.. wouldn't live any other place ... too many people have taken over that valley ... I was very fortunate growing up there , Give my reguards to the Hot Springs... Our Mom MADE us kids take swim lessons there , Because she was deathly afraid of the water , and she did not know how to swim... 50 years later .... still swimming ... and going to ) other ... smaller ... more relaxed ..hot springs ... Swim on Sage :)
One of the Best Geology Video educational of the Colorado state History of the evolution
One of the best geology videos I've seen.
Isn’t it suspicious how positive they were in the video about oil?
@@technusking Suspicious? Hydrocarbon deposits throughout the geologic history of CO is cool to talk about and extremely relevant. They mentioned mining as well which I didn't find "suspicious". Oil wasn't even the main focus of the video at all. I thought they cast a wide net and did a great job people who studied Geology (like myself) or just have a passing interest in it. I'm confused that this is what you took away considering how great this video is?
Very interesting. Fantastic. Thank you.
