“You’ll never guess, they have a model” I laughed out loud at this, your models are legendary Kevin. Really nice audio for this video outside btw. Hope you enjoyed AZ!
@thehistorysquad Good video, AZ is great. WITH RESPECT (and mostly in jest), I'm confused. I KNOW you're a big RUclips star, but as a Southern gentleman from rural Appalachia, I would NEVER put my sweetheart at risk while she walked on treacherous ground. (SCREW women's lib!) Also, we're pretty close in age (I think), and I'm a bit of an old warhorse, too. I know that our bodies wear down & wear out, but that fuzz bucket that you call a "dog" can't be of much service if you carry it everywhere. (Unless it serves to build up your arms by carrying it.) 😂 Get a Lab, we've had two. One was 125 lb, the other was only 95 lb... We could almost be saddle & ride those monsters!
They are protected from the rain. There are loads of small ones all over the desert under natural overhanging rock. This one is extraordinary though because of the size.
@djabroni_brochacho4644 there is a ruien that wasn't under an overhang and it's very damaged compared to these. It's called 'casa grande' like the city it's next to.
I've always found it funny. How people consider Aztec, Inca etc Mesoamerican cultures as 'Ancients'. When yep, they're very much medieval. Particularly those we usually consider. I actually find it stunning how perfected to a way of life the cultures were, and the contrast of theirs with European at the same times. Also, as you've noted here, how ubiquitous some of these techniques are. Even across styles.
This is because the Americas is the true old world so there civilisations and cultures inherited far more advanced knowledge, advanced agriculture, architecture etc especially the creative side poetry art statutes decorations when you actually take a look at the civilisations old and recent in the Americas tis clear it’s the true old world
There is a place in Colorado called Mesa Verde that is spectacular as well. It was built by the Puebloans. Ironically, it is in Montezuma COUNTY in Colorado.
I really enjoyed learning this bit of history from you, Kevin. The details you bring up are fascinating. Thanks for taking such an interest in the Southwest. And great camera work, Julie!
My fourth grade teacher went there on vacation in the 90s, and during our unit on the history of the Southwest, she showed us slides from her trip. She actually went while the site still had the ladders out on display, though it must have been soon after they were removed, since she had a photo of the model of the homes. She was definitely one of my favorite teachers.
What an absolutely fantastic team you and Julie are, she really understands framing a shot, and you are an absolute joy to listen to; thank you so much!
Is that The History Dog? Yet again I learnt something new about a new people I've never read about. Being English we tend to forget about the rest of the world's ancient history. Great vid.
You are officially one of my favorite people in the world you respected the old ways and even honored them godbless you and much love from arkansas from Arizona.
Remarkable I live in Missouri and need to make the drive down there. It’s amazing to think that between the time William was crossing the English Channel and Exeter Cathedral was being built, these people were eating their cornmeal and chilling on the cliffside during their evenings. Great video.
As a resident of Arizona, I'll tell you what happened. The apache murdered or assimilated them. That's what happens when a warlike tribe contacts a tribe of farmers. Like the Comanche, they drove the apache out of west texas and eastern new mexico when they migrated down from the northern plains
There's no one Ah-Ha moment for why they left. But studies of the materials used by pack rats to build their nests shows a major shift to a drier climate 700 years ago. This would have forced the war-like tribes to start raiding the farmers more and more. Eventually the farmers had enough and left.
Good morning, Kevin and Julie. Your tour brings back memories of being there myself back in the mid 60s with my parents. I still have the photographs. I'm so glad you visited, and I agree, it is a magical place. Cheers from Texas.
Welcome to Arizona. Have not been to the Castels or the well in some time. I remember as a child in the early 60s that you could e ter into the mid to upper levels of Castel A. Darn now I've got to up there this summer. Thank you😊
I love your channel. I have always loved history. You have the gift of bringing history to life in a special way. It's never boring with you, and leaves you wanting to see more. Thank you.
I grew up down the road from here. Montezuma's well is also a neat spot. If you're heading north go on 89A from Sedona to Flagstaff, it's a beautiful drive through Oak Creek Canyon
Love this video! We’re leaving on an extended road trip and because of you, we’ve just added Montezuma’s Castle as a stop on our next adventure.👌 The history squad rocks!😁👌 Orlando, Florida USA🏝️😎
I learn something every time I watch your channel. I wasn't even aware this castle existed. I have seen the ruins at Mesa Verde and other cliff dwellings, but not these. You have a great channel and an abounding knowledge. Hope to watch for the tears I have left.
I love that you venture to the new world to record history as well as your home of the old. Thank you for your videos, truly one of my favorites on RUclips ❤
Thanks for making my morning educational Kevin. I thought Arizona was just golf courses for rich Canadians with time shares.😉. Apologies for not stopping by. Stuff happened.I had to rush home..all good tho. Happy Easter to you, Julia and Rupert.
@@thehistorysquad- Did you have American beer? Do you enjoy American beers or do you stick strictly to European varieties? We have some horrible beer here like Budweiser, but quite a few good ones as well with all the micro breweries we have.
What an amazing convergence of geological features that allowed people to create this community. Absolutely fascinating to see as someone also from northwestern Europe, so many differences but also similarities! It shows that humans everywhere are so creative with their resources, and that we often think of the same things but execute them with the materials on hand.
There’s so many places not easily accessible by vehicles but by hiking or horses to see pre-Colombian indigenous occupation along with old cowboys campgrounds as people traveled through the state before paved roads. Amazing how the desert preserves so much history because of it’s dryness. Telling how the climate has changed since the ice age when the are was wetter with rivers & streams.
Hey friend, you've got another like and sub here. I'm in Georgia and have found many old artifacts while adventuring and metal detecting, quartz spear tip, pottery, etc. I find it all fascinating as I have some native blood in me for sure. I hunt and fish too and process everything myself to try to be closer to those past. I make and pit fire clay pottery from our red clay here too. So I'm telling you this only to say I've got my hands as well into trying to understand and even try to practice some of the skills these people had before all of our technology changed everything. I was recommended another video about this site and started watching, eager to learn, but the voice narrating it was annoying as heck, I couldn't take it. Saw yours in the side bar and clicked. Immediately I was taken in by your voice, your enthusiasm, and your ability to just be a normal really cool dude while filling us in on this awesome site. My great thanks to you and your helpers my friend, this is priceless forgotten history and a lot of it is surrounded with so much mystery so that any knowledge I can get about it is so much appreciated. Hats off mate.
You, sir, are a wonderful storyteller, and you have a great voice. I'm so glad that I discovered your channel... Admiration and respect sent from Canada, I think you're awesome
This absolutely blew my mind. There's a castle in Asheville, NC but not medieval. I never knew this! Absolutely beautiful! I've gotta visit Arizona lol.
They were more isolated, in an arid landscape with few trees than in Europe so they used what they had. Amazing! Thank you. 🩸🏹I always look forward to Friday and your next video.
I’m 44 but will you be my grandpa? I love your passion for not only for historical figures but every day people who lived, had dreams, laughed, cried and died. Actually pictured someone eating and sharing some venison with children in those houses.
Wow! Photography, editing, sound quality was superb! Love the respect and interest in other cultures. I would love to see you with a guest where you each share your respective cultures' bow and arrow skills. Excellent video... as usual.
Brother Kevin: I love how you keep the week to week subjects mixed up. Very enjoyable. The three of you should make a loop through North Carolina, plenty to see here, to include the site of a former Spanish fort, in the mountains. Plenty to see, from the mountains to the sea.
I'm eating my dinner completely alone in my room and I let out an involuntary "Wow!" Looking at that beautiful architecture, even thought they're run down and mostly destroyed, it still amazes me.
I had no idea this place existed. Thank you for sharing it with us. I find your videos really interesting, I've always liked history but in school history was taught by two teachers, one who made it interesting and the other who believed learning must be long, dull grind.
What a lovely perspective on the history of my home state. Anyone who has the chance should visit Montezuma's Well. It is every bit as extraordinary as Kevin relayed. A good book for further reading on some of the previous inhabitants of the area (though not the Sin Augua specifically) is House of Rain by Craig Childs. It's a fascinating and eye-opening perspective of the history of a good portion of the Desert Southwest. Great book.
Kevin, I saw these as well as many other sights in Arizona while I was there doing a tour of the state many years ago. It was really interesting to see in person. Good stuff, Mike.
I have recently discovered this channel. I love history and am greatful for such an amazing, entertaining and informative host. He reminds me of my sophomore high school teacher who allowed his students to learn though sight, sound and touch. Watching this channel makes me feel like I am participating in forgotten battles, living in medieval castles, or exploring the less traveled roads of time. Thank you for the journey.
Welcome to my state good sir! You are looking quite tan. I've spent many hours at this place and I'm happy you've presented it to your audience. I think you would also appreciate Wupatki to the north near Flagstaff. I've enjoyed your videos for quite a long time. Thank you for your effort.
Man I live in anthem Arizona you’re literally like 45 minutes away for me. Love watching your videos. I’ve been up there a handful of times in my life as well. Such a beautiful location. I was definitely bummed out as a teenager not being able to explore the castle.
I'm born & raised here . My father took me here in there early 2000's & at the time he told me he was there in his 20's now I will take my kids there . I'm glad you enjoyed this monument ! I enjoyed your video and hit that LIKE !
As a child I was able to Explorer that location. There was a special open day that my grandparents registered for. I still remember climbing the ladders and being told not to touch the walls. Amazing location
Thankyou Kevin and Julie and the dog for this tour that I would not have enjoyed otherwise. What an amazing oasis this is. Imagining how it was with families living there a thousand years ago.
I'm a new subscriber and I can tell I'll learn from you every time you post a new video! I never heard of arrow straightening stones; how fascinating to think of them being used by Sinagua (sp?) people as well as people in what's now the UK.
Ah, the beauty of central Arizona. I had the pleasure of working in this area for a number of years; watching this brings back the good times. Thanks Kevin, from Arizona.
“You’ll never guess, they have a model” I laughed out loud at this, your models are legendary Kevin. Really nice audio for this video outside btw. Hope you enjoyed AZ!
I enjoyed it very much 👍
I did too!😂
I, too, would have thought it was a Kevin model until he immediately mentioned it was done by others. 😄
@thehistorysquad Good video, AZ is great. WITH RESPECT (and mostly in jest), I'm confused. I KNOW you're a big RUclips star, but as a Southern gentleman from rural Appalachia, I would NEVER put my sweetheart at risk while she walked on treacherous ground. (SCREW women's lib!)

This man is overflowing with charisma, I could listen to him for hours!
I often do. Make a playlist and listen on long road trips or to fall asleep to
indeed, i do 😂
You're a simp
Me too. Thanks Kevin!
It touched me very much. It shows me why the History Squad is all about: be human. Respect history and look at it with your heart
How lovely, thank you.
Hmm, Human Squad?! ;)
I love that you're visiting historical sites all over the world! You and your wife are amazing!
Thank you!
What has me gobsmacked is that all those dwellings/structures still survive ; that after so many centuries, erosion hasn't destroyed them.
It doesn't ever rain there.
Lot you know. It rains a lot during the winter here and get below freezing often.
They are protected from the rain. There are loads of small ones all over the desert under natural overhanging rock. This one is extraordinary though because of the size.
It's possible a lot has eroded and all that's left is what was backed up under the mountain.
@djabroni_brochacho4644 there is a ruien that wasn't under an overhang and it's very damaged compared to these. It's called 'casa grande' like the city it's next to.
They are all over the place out west. It's crazy that some of them are over 1,000 years old, and all of the wood is still intact, even the ladders.
Just wonderful, the history of it.
I forget that The States has a lot of cool history as well. Thanks to The Squad for showcasing our own great history that we should be proud of.
Absolutely, so well said! 👍🏻
I've always found it funny. How people consider Aztec, Inca etc Mesoamerican cultures as 'Ancients'. When yep, they're very much medieval. Particularly those we usually consider. I actually find it stunning how perfected to a way of life the cultures were, and the contrast of theirs with European at the same times. Also, as you've noted here, how ubiquitous some of these techniques are. Even across styles.
American peoples have a complete different looks cus they had no beasts of burden
This is because the Americas is the true old world so there civilisations and cultures inherited far more advanced knowledge, advanced agriculture, architecture etc especially the creative side poetry art statutes decorations when you actually take a look at the civilisations old and recent in the Americas tis clear it’s the true old world
Hard to associate them with the word "medieval" when they never left the stone age...
@@djabroni_brochacho4644 cmon they were doing metal working
@@JanJansen985 a bit of jewelry but centuries behind Europeans. Not tryna hate just sayin
There is a place in Colorado called Mesa Verde that is spectacular as well. It was built by the Puebloans. Ironically, it is in Montezuma COUNTY in Colorado.
Yes, we did want to visit but our route home ended up going the other way. 👍🏻
Yes, Mesa Verde is wondrous. I have been there three times and each time discovered new things!
So glad you got to see the castle! Arizona is rich in history and natural beauty, hope you enjoyed it!
I absolutely did!
I really enjoyed learning this bit of history from you, Kevin. The details you bring up are fascinating. Thanks for taking such an interest in the Southwest. And great camera work, Julie!

The last thing i expected to see on this channel was a video done at a location not an hour away from me.
What a pleasant surprise!
This!!!
Ah Kev gets about
I’m only in Camp Verde, so only like five minutes away.

I'm in Casa Grande-116 miles away.Home of the Casa Grande ruins made by the Hopi's in the 1400's🌵
What an absolutely fantastic team you and Julie are, she really understands framing a shot, and you are an absolute joy to listen to; thank you so much!
Thank you too - she will be pleased 👍🏻
Haha leave it to Kevin to find the model they have. Really enjoyed this, Kevin! A lot of interesting facts and architectural marvels 👍

cool to see kevin in america
Rumor has it he’s here to start high density burial sights. He plans to make a killing. (he hasn’t noticed all the space yet)
Kevin lending his Olde worlde charm to this gauche new one lol

Nooooooo. Stay. Go check out the Cahokia Mounds. The medieval mound builder city built in the same area of St. Louis.
Our protagonist looks quite hale and healthy here, I think the Arizona climate agrees with him.
As a resident of Arizona, I'll tell you what happened. The apache murdered or assimilated them. That's what happens when a warlike tribe contacts a tribe of farmers.
Like the Comanche, they drove the apache out of west texas and eastern new mexico when they migrated down from the northern plains
Well it seems all the natives have migrated to federal reservations.
@@JoeyGumbo not all of them. Many live off the rez.
There's no one Ah-Ha moment for why they left. But studies of the materials used by pack rats to build their nests shows a major shift to a drier climate 700 years ago. This would have forced the war-like tribes to start raiding the farmers more and more. Eventually the farmers had enough and left.
@@JoeyGumboI'm native and I don't live on a reservation. Lol, I'm just a normal American like any other.
Wasn't there a volcano eruption around this time. If so then the ash could have made farming difficult or impossible due to ash dimming the sun.
Good morning, Kevin and Julie. Your tour brings back memories of being there myself back in the mid 60s with my parents. I still have the photographs. I'm so glad you visited, and I agree, it is a magical place. Cheers from Texas.
