DAY 2: I Discovered Terrifying Beauty on Google Earth
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- Searching high in the cliffs of a desert canyon in the American Southwest led me to finding surprising evidence of the people who lived here for thousands of years.
This was my second day backpacking a Terrifyingly Beautiful canyon I discovered using Google Earth. What I found on this day left me speechless and unsure about the fate of this beautiful place.
This was probably one of the most interesting and dangerous places I have hiked and flown my drone.
As always, please leave a place better than you found it. Thanks for watching, and make sure to subscribe to The_POV_Channel for lots more like this.

The ending is gold the destruction of the mine most people need to see that
It’s horrible to see the destruction grow as the Mine expands like that.
@@rallycrosscraig I live in S. Arizona and I see it everyday. Right in front of my face.
10:30 brick wall ^?^
I know you feel deeply about something. If you could express your feelings in sentence form, I might understand what you are thinking also.
The communal area with all the grinding stones in place is a treasure.. glad you photographed it!!
Can't you imagine the women sitting there together grinding and chatting with the beautiful sounds of birds in the background?
Yes! Those stone still in the grounder!! Amazing...they left and never back
@@sharonh9239 wow. you can imagine their hands grinding away still. so cool.
Ever noticed how the further you get from human settlements, the more beautiful nature becomes.
I wonder why that is
It was cool until the end of the video seeing all the strip mining going on. That made me sick, and I envision that place the hiker visited will end up like what the mining operation today. They'll just move on to the next plot of land. Kinda like what they do with logging. However, society benefits one way or another from the mining. We can't manufacture land.. Thank you for picking up the garbage.
Yep, the pursuit of $ is in stark contrast to giving an F towards Nature. Nolan is a gem, Twoey too!
And the rarer the animals, I mean a Coatimundi !! WOW
Of course it’s nice there are no stupid self centered people who don’t care disrespecting nature
Perfect choice. No music during your videos...just the natural sounds of the place... magical!
I totally agree!
Sir, you have the eye of the artist, the ear of a musician/pro. soundman, the mind of the adventurer, the heart of a mystic and the soul of an ancient spirit. I love watching your adventures. Thank you for this amazing post.
Many thanks
❤❤❤❤
It blows my mind how many people disrespect our planet and litter it with trash. Thanks for the vlogs, man. Love your channel. It’s growing fast! 👊🏻
I love it that your dog gets to go on the adventures!!!
in my next life, I want to come back as his dog.
The dog is awesome.
The dog needs special boots for hiking. Those sharp rocks do a number on their feet.
🤣🤣
@@the_pov_channel Can I ask what's funny considering they do make doggy boots but whatever
Sad to see the land being treated like this. Really bothers me how people can go into these areas and leave crap around, thanks for carrying bags out.
When I was kid I imagined doing this kind of adventure. Congratulations for yours discovered👏👏👏
Me as well, I hiked all over the woods as a young kid and young adult, I used to ride horses too and even though the woods of Virginia are beautiful, nothing like the desert and the mesas in the southwest.
So stunning! The end really made me quite sad. I hope the sacred spaces can be held from our avarice and greed. Love your adventures, man... keep it up. Awesome!
This comment should be pinned, by the comments I’m not sure how many people watched until the end
I am 85 years old and just got inspired by this young man.
Thank you. that means a lot
That is so sad to see such a beautiful place get destroyed.
I LOVE being able to enjoy such incredible sights, despite being too old & feeble to get there in person. As much as my stomach is usually in a knot worrying that you or the pup might slip, I'm still addicted to watching!
Me tambien
That's an oven, probably used to make charcoal or cook large pieces of meat. That's why there is so much soot. Miners took over after the Indigenous People. Definitely a nice place to live.
Very very cool. That would make sense due to its size.
It's like a little slice of heaven in places. Just beautiful footage, the sound of nature adds volumes.
You do great videos and deserve way more subs.
That beautiful white stripe at @16:42 may be quartz crystal. Fantastic place !! You continue to outdo yourself !!
or marble
Yes my guess too
Very cool
This little canyon, with grass, trees, a beautiful river, animals, is like a lost dream world. Continue your aventures, man. That's so cool to see such places. Greetings from Paris, France.
Nolan, you are a poet. And a warrior in your own way. And, I love you for all that you bring to us.
Yes he is indeed.
Thanks to you
Earth...the most beautiful planet in the universe!
Yes it is
There are many other planets FAR more beautiful than our own lovely Earth. 😊
Plane!
with the least intelligent species ever.
According to humans
Epic. Thanks for taking the time to share and treating the place with such respect.
What a beautiful hike to some cool historic and prehistoric places. The area the mine has decimated looks oddly like how some cancers grow.
Thank you for sharing and picking up the trash left behind ❤️
but you benefit from it too. most people do not want to go back to a simpler lifestyle, easier on the environment.
ol but here you are using the copper pulled from it
@@wout123100No one said don't use the resources. It's common knowledge resources can easily be extracted without doing so much damage. It's about the profit margin.
My thoughts exactly watching that Timelapse
Great beauty, awesome finds, as well as great wisdom. Thank you for sharing!
I love and greatly appreciate your respect while exploring those culturally significant sites! Awesome video, I too spend the nights scrolling around google earth searching for canyons.
17:38 I paused and took a look at the interior wall, and it looks like a coating has partially remained. This is a spectacular discovery, the grind stones were honestly unbelievable. This video is a GEM and your respect for the terrain, and beautiful footage are a great look into a world I’ve never seen. Best wishes from Rhode Island.
Cheers and thanks!
@@the_pov_channel ever think about doing a episode of your favorite gear, or what you bring on certain trips?
You’ve inspired me to get out and explore man I appreciate it. Just turnt 21 and on the journey to explore the world. Keep up the hard work and I admire the dedication man 🙌🏼
Love to hear that. That’s great. Nature is healing just make sure to take good care of it wherever you go!
You are a heck of a drone pilot. Tremendous shots without too many unnecessary chances. You're teaching me 🙂
Ohhh but the risky shots are the best. Gotta send it every once in a while
When your camera first showed that red, curling tail at 10:35 - my mind went 'wtf!? I didn't know there were monkey's in the Southwest!' I honestly had never heard of a "coatimundi" aka "coati" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coati - I swear, ya learn something new every day!*
Once again, Nolan has created an amazing work of art, rekindling our sense of awe. An up-close as if you were there along with him record of his fascination and wonder for a rarely seen canyon in the vast Southwest. In Part 1 he (more-or-less) happily endures mosquito swarms to record the sight of 10s of thousands of bats doing what they have been doing nightly for 100s of thousands, if not millions of years: Swarming out of a cave to devour a percentage of the swarms of bugs that would otherwise have long ago devoured all of us!
Now here, in Part 2, he treks into a world with no name. His drone flies around and over geological formations that are awesome, strange, yet somehow familiar. As if we know such places from within the depths of our dreams-here real and made of stone. He also discovers remnants of habitation, some relatively recent, others dating back to an archaic culture that managed to live amidst these natural wonders for who knows how long without spoiling it-reminding us we should do the same. I agree, but can we without feeling the reverence they had for a world they knew was that of the spirits of their ancestors going so far back as to be the beginning of time, as is said, immemorial? That is, to the edge of our species' memory?
Thanks so much for this, Nolan, excellent work and a tremendous gift to us all!
Now that UnchardedX has revealed literally granite-hard and undeniable evidence for a highly advanced technological civilization-one capable of producing granite vessels with such complex geometries and precise symmetries with tolerances so fine (within 1/1000 of an inch) that our civilization has only within my lifetime developed the means to even measure, let alone explicate-a civilization that (apparently) pre-dates what we call "history," that the ancient Egyptians regarded as 'the time of the gods,' and about which we know absolutely nothing-we're having to ask not only "who were these people?" but, indeed, "who are we?!" (Cf: ruclips.net/video/WAyQQRNoQaE/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/PrhFnai2TGs/видео.html to start) How is it possible that we had forgotten them? And what does it mean that we're now remembering through discovering this previously missing piece of the puzzle we thought we'd already assembled?
Wonders never cease, my friends, so long as you continue to wonder.
*(If you're like me, by the time you get to be my age, you'll know so much you can no longer remember, you'll realize just how stupid you really are. But that's ok. In my lifetime I've read more books on everything from art history to quantum mechanics, archeology to zoology-all totaled more books than everyone in my genealogy all the way back to Adam-yet, I'm happy to say, I remain the awe-struck fascinated child I've always been and endeavored always to remain.)
@michaelwells6075
I really appreciate Nolan's adventures and explorations as well. They are fantastic documents of our planet and of its inhabitant's past. But instead of watching Ben's sensationalized and wildly unsubstantiated claims in Uncharted X (he only ''seems'' to substantiate his claims and theories), you might want to try the ''History for GRANITE''' channel. He has a video dedicated to the granite vessels, as well as many unique specifics about the history and design and construction of the pyramids and other sites in Egypt.
Also take a gander at geologist Myron Cook's channel to explain some of the geology and geologic processes that you might see in places that Nolan explores.
And ''Andy Ward's Ancient Pottery'' takes you back in time describing the great variety of native American tribes and peoples and their traditions and culture based on the fascinating variety and specific design and techniques used in their pottery. ;)
First beehive structure is probably a charcoal making kiln. The cabin has primitive cement/mortar which may also have been produced on site using the nearby kiln.
Check out the 4 massive beehive Charcoal Kilns in remote Cave Valley, NV near what was once Parker (Stagecoach) Station and the Riordan Ranch. Ely, NV is the closest town. Each of the 4 rock beehive kilns were large enough to fit a mule team.
My father spent his summers as a teen cowboy working on the Riordan Ranch cattle ranch (Dan & Elda Riordan) in Cave Valley in the early 1940's. Elda's was my father's great aunt.
Parker Station was formerly an important stop on the Toano-Pioche Stagecoach Line (transporting and delivering mail, goods & supplies) before the advent of the railroad and automobile.
My father lived in the lower "lean-to" side addition of the Parker Station log building which became the main Riordan Ranch house when Dan & Elda Riordon purchased the ranch and buildings in 1917.
On the upper floor and loft of the log building, there were multiple small 8" square holes cut into the perimeter walls around the building to ward off Indian or bandit attacks with rifles such as the lever-action Winchester Model 30-30. There was/is a natural spring nearby the ranch house with a windmill pump, and to this day wild horses, pigs, coyotes, water foul, and escaped cattle use it as a watering hole.
There were many Native American artifacts found in the Indian caves in the foothills across the valley. Most are in Native American museums in NV. Cave Valley was so remote and vast that the valley was at one time being considered in the 1980's by the U.S. government as the site for the new at the time LGM-118 Peacekeeper/MX ICBM missile defense system, but luckily other sites were chosen.
As a child, I spent a very spooky night camping inside one of these massive rock beehive charcoal kilns when my family visited the site. It was a natural horn-shaped echo-chamber, and the sound of the bats and birds fluttering about above us in complete darkness was nerve-racking, in addition to the potential for rattlesnakes. Needless to say, I wasn't able to sleep until exhaustion took over, and it's a night I'll never forget, LOL.
Neat. Love learning about the places I have visit from people like you
That is a great story and information!!@@bbfoto7248
Great dog, great video. Keep up the great work. You are great. 👍🏻
Love your POV Channel, love your drone work and the fact you don't use music in your videos but rather you use the natural sounds of the places you visit. Thank You for taking these trips into the outback and your sharing. And, I love your faith companion Dog. Thank You both for taking us along.
I am continuously amazed at the ruins you guys explore I watch you ,Trek planner and desert drifter never before have I seen such beauty let alone knew it existed Thank you and I truly enjoy Chewy
Me too sister! Desert Drifter and POV are my favorites. They lift my heart and I'm so grateful to see beauty I would never be able to get to anymore. Such a blessing! BTW, the dog's name is Toowie.....no idea how to spell it. Aren't they a pair?
Toohey is his name. Thanks !!
Don't give your coordinates keep your secret. Keep up the good work I really like your stuff
Great video, Thanks for taking us along and thanks for picking up all that shit on the way out. Shame on those who leave garbage in these places.
Thanks. It’s the least I can do
It is so stunning beautiful there. We have nothing even remote similar to this in Germany. I have to admit, i'm a little jealous, but at least some of us have the privilege to enjoy it
Yes it is beautiful here in the States
On a trip to Germany and Europe, I was amazed by some of the canyons in France. Plenty to see out where you are!!
@@the_pov_channel Yes, that is true, France has indeed some amazing canyons. But i didn't like the french people enough and vice versa, to make much use of that and as long as you keep running your channel, i'm totally fine with that
Wow,those grindstones in their holes blew my mind!!
Same
The videography and editing brings the ultimate adventure. This is my favorite channel of this type of content! Thank you. Enjoy your Point of View!
Yes! Those stone still in the grounder!! Amazing...they left and never back
Dude your videos are my absolute favorite. I get STOKED when i see a new video notification. You're so cool
Haha amazing. Thanks for watching just filmed a ton over the last couple months I’m excited to share with ya
Cottonwood snow...
You inspired me to spontaneously take a backpacking trip yesterday. super glad I went, keep making great stuff man! I love your videos so much. I really want to go on the same kind of adventures that you do someday
Really glad to hear that. Hope it went well. Just make sure to take good care of the places you visit. And stay safe
What an interesting place to hike
Do you check your dog for ticks? And wassup with those pigs and your dog….would they attack your heeler? Sick spot for sure. Have fun.
Javelina are not pigs.
When you found those traces of people that used to live there…wow! So cool. Your videos are a blessing . Thank you!!🙏🏻 😊
I, too, appreciate the fact that you don't feel the need to drown out the sounds of nature with a soundtrack. Your videos and adventures are breathtaking and I thank you so much for bringing us along. The fact that you don't use profanity makes it so that my children and grandchildren can develop an appreciation and love for the wild places even if they haven't had the advantage of seeing them in person. Yet
Thankyou for being such a good person everyone can learn from you
Amazing u found an untouched ancient indigenous site! Grain stones IN the holes no less. Where nearby was the grain grown...u think? And also there was likely MUCH more water in the canyons way back when..right? Love your channel. I geek out on one a day : )
Wow such an incredible video thanks! So much beauty and knowledge packed in to less than 30mins. It was awesome!
Amazing
Man I love Aussies. Such a great companion to have, yours seems like the PERFECT adventure dog. That shot at 6:05 was too cute.
Also, love your channel man. You genuinely capture the rawness of the nature you're exploring, you record ambience from the settings you're in. No stupid music soundtracks in the background. Really deserve more views than you get.
Thanks a ton. I can’t believe how many I get tbh
Powerful video. I’ve watched mining across the west since the 1960’s. Entire mountains destroyed. The mining companies don’t give at flying shit. It’s all about money. Keep up the good work. There are millions of us who love the Earth.
@TheAlex8675309 There might be millions of you who love the earth, but you don't love the one who created it. If you did, the world would not be in the shape it is in. Individually, it's not your fault; you have been blinded and deceived by those who came before you.
What’s your point? If you’re talking about your personal concept of god!, You’re talking to the wrong guy. I am talking about mining companies who don’t care about the planet or their employees. It’s all about money for them. As for creation, I have been gifted with direct experience of universal being, this is just not about that.🤠@@jimwills2094
Thanks. We need more people like you. Lots to be optimistic about, and I think the young people will not repeat the mistakes of those before
Wow. I am blown away. What an incredibly idyllic place that must have been to exist in. The terrain, the richness of that habitat, full of game and resources. Blown away, I am. I would have had a hard time leaving such a beautiful place… My hat is off to you, Nolan. Thanks for taking us along and sharing this with us. Absolutely fantastic. That is a singularly unique area.
Thanks.
It's absolutely incredible: your approach is really interesting, touching the artifacts without disturbing them and keeping the site in place....
Thank you very much.
Great video and thanks for taking the time to hike there to bring us the wonderful scenery. Be safe In your future adventures.
You have the most beautiful video I have ever seen. And it is so nice to have people like yourself that cares about the environment. And you have the most awesome dog. Give him a big hug for me..😊
Fantastic!! Highest marks. The combo of you, the well behaved dog, the drone and this location, is a complete escape adventure. No notes. Thanks for sharing. Liked and subbed.
Amazing location and wonderful drone footage. It's so inspiring to see a young person take such a meaningful interest in ancient history, as well as the environment. Bless you, safe travels and thank you for sharing. You're one special young man.
Cheers and thank you
I really enjoy your content. Makes me want to get back into hiking.
Your channel is definitely my favourite of the group of people who are doing what you do,it could be your awesome dog,but,your vibe is really great to just live vicariously through. In Oman,after the rain for a few weeks,sometimes a month,it would be a green as it was on thus trip. And though rare there was a type of hawk moth,that was active during daylight hours, which looked exactly like a hummingbird. I know I'm just superimposing my old memories, but,the terrain is remarkably similar, as is the chance of finding pictogram or glyphs as well as evidence of people who were there for the last 6-8,000 + years. This I know firca fact,because my parents lived there fir 30 years & my mother would take use on digs. Particularly along waddi walls,like your canyons and when you reached the sea,that was where you'd find the burial sights,the skeletons curled into a foetal position,nearly always with evidence of red ochre, skell necklaces & tools. To set up camp & watch bats set off fir their night time hunting makes it feel like where you were & I was were only separated by a couple of bluffs,not,oceans & continents.
Wishing you&yours the very best,safe journeys until,next time.
Oh yeah… where you mentioned is high on my list. Someday in the future I will be taking off for a long while to explore there and nearby. Thanks for your comment
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hummingbird_hawk-moth ? I had them growing up as well.
thank you for showing off such beautiful places in my home state! i've always lived in the capital or big cities in the valley and it's so easy to forget just how amazing the surrounding nature is. i'm a super indoorsy person but you've inspired me to do some hiking this year for my birthday instead of staying in and moping like i usually would lol 🫶🏼
Hey hope you see this response. I saw your comment and it made my day. Hope you had a great birthday and thanks for watching
Thank you for taking us all along this journey.
Great video! Love the bird sounds in the background.
Awesome! What a great channel!! This thing that you do, exploring, documenting & commenting on, is awesome. Every time you get on a ledge makes me so nervous tho because you stand so close. Please be safe out there.
This is the best one yet! That’s what I think when I see a new video of yours!
It brings back good memories of the time when I was able to get out there and hike wherever I wanted to!
I throughly enjoyed this trip!😊
That canyon was a piece of paradise! Would live there if I could. Like you, I hope it remains pristine
Love your respect for the places you go a remove refuse that disrespectful people discard. It’s utterly beautiful an I can imagine what it’s like in person. It really is going back in time. Thx you inspire!
Thank you so much for picking up the garbage and cherishing these beautiful places, this earth needs more people like you 🥰
The best channel on RUclips. Period
The time lapse at the end 😢
I just love your adventures. Thanks for the video. 🤩
Thanks for taking me along. Gorgeous! Yeah, a lot of copper salt showing in one of those cliff faces you did a fly-by of.
Sheeeeew! What a ride. Thanks for another banger.
Hi. I really enjoy your channel! Thanks for the great content!
Another fantastic video with some fantastic drone footage following you as you walk. Keep discovering and keep sharing!
This is your best one so far. The story underlying the beauty is just gut-wrenching. Well done.
Loving all the ‘sounds’ in nature that you pick up in your videos, along with the stunning views! So relaxing! Thx for sharing, especially from those of us who don’t have the circumstances to go anymore ❤️🇨🇦
What a horrible ending 😢
Necessary.
@@the_pov_channel Absolutely
Thats a nice discovery
Thank you for sharing with us all this magnificent hidden place.
Loved your video ❤❤ so beautiful. Thank you also for caring so much to keep it all clean from human littering. It's beyond me how callous people can be. Your the greatest❤❤
Wow, and the care you take with your surroundings and findings is so thoughtful.
Great video, seen some new things to look for next time I’m out in the area. There’s an old apple orchard down in there we used to camp at as teenagers, but for the life of me I can’t remember its exact location. Also some old gravesite. Last summer we hiked up to a small rock home up on one of the plateaus, first time I’d seen it, so had to explore. This place is a popular fishing/UTV area as it provides cooler weather than the other local rivers, glad you kept the name a little bit of a mystery. Hope you enjoyed the area.
Not only do I admire your sense of adventure & discovery, but I greatly admire your respect & propriety for historical/ancient artifacts & locations... Kudos to you, sir👍
Another enjoyable video for this ole man. Really enjoyed this view of a place I will never see. But I am privileged to have seen it through you. Thank you sir.
No you! Thanks to you
SO AMAZING ! Stay safe .
thank you for giving us the chance to live the experience through you.
I love the sounds of nature in the background of your videos. This was such a beautiful journey...though te destruction of these beautiful lands makes me want to cry.
Incredible hike! Thank you for sharing.
Keep up the good contnent man. U make the videos so well. I find all.your videos so interesting. Thanks for takin us along on ur adventures. Watching from england
I apreciate this video a lot, I always loved the midwest rural areas of the United States since it remembers me a lot of our rural spaces here in Spain. The discoveries you made are awesome and I'm amazed that after so many decades many structures and tools made by the original native americans of the area still are intact. I'm deeply grateful for this great video you made and the great respect you have towards nature. I would love to know where this is situated since I'm pretty curious about this area and I love to scout pretty remote areas like this one through Google Earth because I find it so beautiful, but also such a shame all the area is owned by a mining company unfortunatly. Cheers mate, big respect towards you and your dog.
Thanks for sharing your fantastic🎉 travels to the past
Epic as always! Meditaion and ax skills! Nolan is a gem, Twoey too! Those who expliot for greed, destroy Nature and us all.
What an outstanding video of your trip. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love the southwest. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.
You and your dog. What a great friendship for exploring.
This video took me through all the feels…wonder at the awesome, raw natural place with its wildlife, sentimental tears at the alcove revealing it’s remnants of a time long ago, anger at the trash left behind by irresponsible humans, and then…sadness at the devastation of this beautiful country. I also love your dog, who feels the need to always lead the way, looking back to make sure you are following. And to his credit and yours, he appears very obedient! Great work! You are very creative.
marvellous video and channel my friend thank you both.
I feel love for u and your companion. Yall are both special beings.
Incredible videos bro! The grind stones inside the mortar holes are amazing!? What happened to make them leave so suddenly...? Wow.
amazing find!
Your drone work is beautiful. It's some of the best I've seen. Be careful. People hike off by themselves and disappear every year.
