The circle of rocks at the very peak is a signal fire location and the small drill marks are from twirling a stick against tinder to start the fire over and over. Once the hole gets too deep to easily scoop out the burning tinder they have to move to a fresh location. It's not religious, it's just a signal fire and that's probably an outpost chosen for it's height and strategic advantage
Something religious. Thank you so much. There are many older people like me and many handicapped that can’t get out there anymore. You are a treasure for so many.
@@LoriLockwood-hj1bf Every time he does a shot of the camera watching him walkaway I think, "Nice shot... BUT then you have to go back and pick up the camera, NOT with my legs!!!!!!!!!"
@@kengreenfield-nman At least his questions give food for thought. Nobody knows for sure the answers but we can speculate and with deep wonder imagine how it was back in that age.

Art, I saw a video recently that was from a tribal member, and he said sometimes we take things too seriously, then he showed some rock drawings and how they were basically a comic strip in the native language.
@@swankyginger5407 Indian villages here are easy to find. They are on the top tier of the creek/river flood plane. They usually plow around the mounds. Every year a new crop of arrow heads are exposed.👍
Navajo Grandma says this is a language to those that pass thru for various first peoples across North America to each other, not art necessarily. She describes in her RUclips videos what these symbols mean.
her video was interesting. She talked about people keeping to the high ridges and lighting fires to communicate from ridge to ridge and what some of the petroglyph’s meanings meant.
When I read Spanish missionary manuscripts talking about Pericu natives of the Southern Baja, they talked about the natives building rock sort of corrals/enclosures with no roofs simply for sleeping in. There is very little rain most of the year down there but the wind is pretty constant and can be cold at night. So some of the circles you found might have been sleeping shelters if not defensive. Great video.
The petroglyphs could be a personal diary of their isolation and survival up there. Trying to reach the heavens was very real to them I know at 13 years many tribes have a ceremony of isolation to mark the transformation to adulthood so this could be many generations taking on such challenges for young people because you have to be fit to scale those rocks. Loved the mystery as always you leave us questioning existance lol. :) :)
Wow! What an amazing video! Watching you free climb up those rocks too was badass! It’s good to know that you have a rock climbing background too - I guess that explains how you’re able to do crazy stuff like this!
Over 50 years ago as a young middle school student I knew that there was a significance to the cultural artifacts from the state of Arizona. Your videos inspire youngsters who can respect and appreciate the importance of preserving our relationship with the land and the artifacts for future generations to learn about the ancients .
There used to be a river. The natural beauty of the whole area seems pretty significant, and like majestic and overwhelming. It's spiritual, I think. I love your work. Thank you.
Cleared circles are prevalent in the upper Mojave in many remote locations. Especially in Sailine Valley, west of Lone Pine, CA. Many have holes around the outside indicating they may have been used for construction on a brush wind block or shelter.
They're from drilling a stick into tinder thousands of times over the years to start a fire in the fire pit circle of stones. Remote because signal fires can be seen for many miles and info can be passed over huge distances with a network of signal fire outposts
@@SM-mc2zl That seems to be the most logical explanation to me. Also, signal fires and smoke signals aren't just a cliche from western movies. They were really used.
That's about what I would think, something along those lines. People lived high up on cliffs in similar areas. Maybe they were to hold poles for walls or holders for poles for hanging things on, fences, or floor poles?
I'm from the UK. I really like your videos. I hope that all the ancient structures and rock art, you find, are properly documented and recorded, by the appropriate authorities, before they're lost forever.
A very tiny portion of them have been properly documented and catalogued. My son is studying cultural anthropology and materials art history. He was STUNNED to learn how little is known about the art, the lives and history of North American peoples.
Appropriate authorities? Seriously? They are often tied to the dogma long proven false but it supports the whole education narrative and that's the point of education of the formal sense. To support itself. No free thinkers . Listen to the people and your own ideas
I really appreciate the peaceful vibe your videos carry. Instead of trying to force anything you really let the landscapes speak for themselves. Thanks for sharing these adventures.
That would make a great watchtower. Or a signal post. (I hate to mention the old 'smoke signal tripe, but a signal fire might have been good on that point.) In any case, a very cool find.
You are so lucky to be in such a beautiful place !I have never realized the wonder and the beauty of the western desserts of the United States I hiked a very small part of the Appalachian trail and the Smokey mountains where our people are from I have only driven thru the desserts.I am a quarter Apache and you have seen more than I have! I grew up in the cities, running to the oceans and the mountains every chance I could! I like your show and the respect you show to those who came before us. God Bless.
Thank you for taking us to this beautiful place! I know there are lots of reasons for these structures, from spiritual, to defense, to finding and storing food, but I hope another reason was to sit and enjoy the beauty around them, like you’re helping us to do, today.
I always think that too, whenever someone says “why did they climb all the way up here?” The answer can be as simple as they did it for the view, the same reason people still do it today.
Thank you for adding the historical information about the peoples that inhabited this area. That, along with the drone footage, really makes this an interesting video!
I get the feeling that it was a look out. A warning system. Maybe they lit a fire in the small circle on top. Maybe the drill holes were purely done from boredom by the posted watcher. Lol Great explore! I really enjoyed this one. Thank you 🙏
Your boredom hypothesis is interesting. It reminded me of a story by an old WWII navy vet I worked with in the 1980's. He told me how when he was enlisted he'd frequently get drunk & insubordinate. The punishment was to get thrown into the lockup with a two pound length of the thick rope used to tie ships to the docks. The prisoners would get released only when they'd completely unbraided the rope. The fibres would be weighed before release. Some sailors would unbraid the rope in a day, others a week. My coworker said he once did it in a day but his fingernails & gums were bleeding from the effort it took to pick & knaw apart the tightly braded cable. Anyways, thinking of the boredom hypothesis and my story, maybe a young warrior had to stay posted up there until they produced a satisfactory hole?
I could talk about this one forever. In the end, I will mention the second horse. You mentioned on, but not the other. When I screenshot that one for my family, they each said--"Horse". Cool stuff.
I think the thing to remember is how different it all would have looked hundreds of years ago. There was clearly a river running beside the hills and mesas that would have been able to sustain life. It is just so very amazing what they were able to accomplish.
So COOL! I'm handicapped and can't hike anymore. But man, this stuff is so cool! I used to live out there with my parents in the West. Brings back so many good memories with my parents! Thank you for this!
I get huge vibes that was a place of desperation and fear. They were afraid of others and built a very difficult construction on hard to climb ground. They were at war...Or were being hunted. I have theories, but I do not think I can ever prove them. As I travel the southwest and go to all of these beautiful sites, the overwhelming impression is DEFENCE and fortification. Mesa Verde with all of it's beauty...the Anasazi wouldn't move from the mesa tops that they had inhabited for 100's of years and then move into cliff dwellings where access to everything was difficult unless they were defending against attack. And then they migrated away to the Rio Grande Valley. When they moved, everything changed...the pottery styles changed and the Old religion, with the stepped iconography went away and they changed to the Kachina religion. A major cultural shift. The Anasazi died then and became the Ancestral Puebloan and the tribes we know today. (Hopi, Acoma, Zuni etc.) The construction you found are all over (As you well know) and they all are of a defensive style, in difficult locations typically quite away from water and places they could farm. I could blather on, but for anyone wanting to get a great insight into the history of the southwest, please read Stephen Lekson's book "A History of the Ancient Southwest"...a fantastic book that is radically different than what you get at national parks. Violence is not something the Park Rangers want to talk about and I think that omission has hurt the true history of a fascinating and complex peoples.
It’s mind boggling what these structures could be, and why they are there. All I really can understand is how significant they are to their creators because of their efforts to make them. The artwork is amazing also. I wish we could go back in time and see who did this and learn why!
wonderful video. I am a maker of flutes and drums in the native style. when you show shots of you atop the stones with the land spread out below. I wish to sit there one night by firelight and weave music out under the stars. As I am sure was done in one form or another by the people who lived there long ago. perhaps it is just my thinking. those who made their homes upon lofty stone. If they still linger there. may not understand our words. But if it were to slip through the weave of time the notes of music. they would understand. And perhaps answer in kind.
And I want to join you. Years ago, a friend played her violin in the evening at Chaco Canyon. The next morning, people told her they wept at the beautiful sound.
There's a Fremont ruin about a mile away from my brother's house in Sandy Utah. It's in a city park in a suburban area but after study by the university of Utah, it was buried to protect it from vandalism.
@@TheTrekPlanner I've seen a video where a researcher found a series of holes on a rock near the famous Lascaux cave in France. That's the cave with what is arguably the most famous cave paintings, believed to be 17,000 years old. The researcher was able to show that the series of holes was an astronomical & lunar calendar that was shown to be very easy to use. Notably, it was concluded it would have been used to calculate when there'd be a rare alignment with the cave opening, likely considered sacred. If the Utah holes had a similar explanation, I wonder if there was a particular alignment that was significant to its creators and what that might be?
Thank you so much again for your Super Thanks, DJ! Fear of heights has stopped me on a few adventures. But it’s been nice the last few years to really stop and do an inventory on my fear and analyze if these fears are legitimate or just a worry that has little merit. I’ve learned a lot about myself and of course, will always keep learning. Thanks again!! 🙏☺️ -Jeff
Another awesome find. I'd recommend sending a photo of the holes to the State archeologist to record it or perhaps find out what they know about them. Great video. Happy trails. Be safe.
Thank you for taking us through so many adventures through time, sure feels like it, just those long forgotten places and petroglyphs, they force you on sight and pull you through time....... it demands your attention when seen..... so many stories,
@@LadyDi82 A fews days after hitting Bermuda, the remnants of it (no longer a hurricane) hit us here in Atlantic Canada. Lots of rain! Hopefully only blue skies from now on for both of us! 🙂
Great video and thanks for showing things I could not see otherwise due to physical limitations. Your difficult and dangerous work investigating these remote locations is greatly appreciated!
What an incredible place. People need to be aware that you make it look easy. If anyone goes out there they need to be prepared and have knowledge of bad critters and plants. Where you mentioned pack rat nests would be a good place for a rattle snake. Awesome video. Thanks for sharing.
I wonder if it could be a watch tower/fire tower. Did you see any wood tucked under that rock? I could see a teenager up there, maybe the circle had a pile of wood and the attached bit was a little covered area to sit out of the sun? Light the fire and run away if they see anyone come around the bend of the river?
I want to let you know you’re my favorite hiking channel because you go all the places I could possibly go. I can’t scale mountains and climb dangerous areas. I’m a senior so you keep doing safe treks that I enjoy most. Thank you very much, sir.

The beauty never ceases to amaze me.
Some of the walls, right on the edge look like they were designed to come down all at once with removal of a couple stones. Giant defence.
I would think they are torch holders. It looks like a security lookout 😊 Also a way to communicate, as you can see another lookout at a distance.
That would make a great watchtower. Or a signal post. (I hate to mention the old 'smoke signal tripe, but a signal fire might have been good on that point.)

To prevent anyone from 'vanadlizing' it they buried it so it's instead, forever lost. Good plan.

I could see a teenager up there, maybe the circle had a pile of wood and the attached bit was a little covered area to sit out of the sun? Light the fire and run away if they see anyone come around the bend of the river?
Thank you for taking me along on this great TREK.
Let's go!
They look like they're very sacred places that people came to these are very special places😊 maybe a special place put a one person only
Outstanding!
Loved it!

Jak sie masz?
Dziękuję doborze:) pozdrawiam
I want to let you know you’re my favorite hiking channel because you go all the places I could possibly go. I can’t scale mountains and climb dangerous areas. I’m a senior so you keep doing safe treks that I enjoy most. Thank you very much, sir.
