I discovered Something on Google Earth that no one has seen Before.
Since I found these strange shapes in the stone on Google Earth, I have wondered how they were created, and if any human beings have ever laid eyes upon them.
When I visited this place, I found several things that lead me to believe that there may have been something here, but probably a very, very long time ago.
This intense journey lead me through a very difficult landscape and took many hours. But, when I finally made it to my destination, I was honestly blown away by what I somehow discovered.
Thanks a ton to all of the new and existing subscribers for watching this video, and if anyone has any sort of expertise that can help me understand how the shapes I find in the stone came to be created, I would love to gain some input.

Is it possible you are the first human in thousands of years to see and walk through that arch/tunnel?
Potentially. I saw 0 footprints and getting there was very sketchy.
All of those features have been extensively eroded by moving water. None of the holes look manmade.
It would be too dangerous for humans to live in that area as rain would flood them out
I went there in 97 .
Nah man not even the first. Back in 99 on vacation i hiked it and sat right to the left if that sandy tannish colored rock and smoked a huge doobie and got the munchies resorting to me having a mre out my pack. It was the stroganoff and it must of went bad cause i got severe gut cramps and had spackled a diarrhea spray fart behind that other rock just over to left and by a sage brush bush. It was gnarly!
Obviously the vast overwhelming majority of people will never ever venture to such places. That is why I applaud you for taking us along to see sights we would otherwise never see. Thank you and your dog... Thumbs Up!
I have it was pretty high on thou.
good doggy
@@howardb.6205 did his dog fall of the cliff?
Me too. Ty.
@@totalt6600 dog fell off cliff?
I am just a Tennessee hillbilly but as pretty as that place is, it's also alien and eerie. I think I'll stick to my mountains and trees. I'll just explore vicariously through you.
maybe not alien but maybe non-human. I think your instincts are right on. see above.
East Tn mountain man here and I still like the Blue Ridge Mountains the best, bare rock just doesn't compare
This Pacific Northwester will stick to the pacific coast, the Cascade mountains and the high desert
Amen!
@@beauealey9300@beauealey9300 I grew up on the North Oregon Coast and tried to live in the Southwest, but I found it to be a dismal place. There are No Trees, No Rain, No Thick Underbrush, No Fog, No Wind and everything is brown when it should be all GREEN. LOL! 98 degrees at midnight felt like I had died and gone to hell.
Freaking love your channel man. I live in SW United States, and I do a lot of Google Earth scouting for my hunting. Sometimes I'll come across something odd, and check it out- but it's quite rare due to familial obligations and time restrictions. Really like the concept of what you have going on here, and makes me want to get out more often and do the same. Keep up the great work! (edit: One thing you might consider investing in is a PLB [personal locating beacon]. I do most of my hunting/camping/hiking solo, and had a bad run in with a rattlesnake once. It's a small device, that when triggered sends out an SOS signal so emergency response can get to you. I'm now a Flight Nurse, and sometimes respond to folks out in the middle of nowhere that get rather injured as you can imagine. Pretty cheap, and can save a life.)
Cheers dude. Get out there!! I have my Sat phone
@@the_pov_channel leave the place at a better state than we found it. that's such an awesome principle to explore. i image it can be difficult if you find too much trash to carry back...
Your dog’s face is hilarious. It’s like he’s saying ‘You came all this way to see rocks?’ 😂😂😂
I'm sure the dog is glad for the adventures. But I keep looking at the steep cliffs, side slopes and giant potholes littering the landscape and wonder: How often does he have to get another dog?
[Dog] : "Look you know I love you dude but I swear too god there better be a steak restaurant around here or a fried chicken spot you brought me all the way out hear and I'm telling you i can't smell any food ..?!!...all I smell is rocks..there at least needs too be a dinosaur bone or a dragon spine I can take back n show the fellas you gotta make something work here or else I will consider this a kidnapping you brought me against my will and I'm not even gotta get some bacon n eggs ?....when we get home we need too sit down n have a talk about my distance covered reward system base and if the situation doesn't improve within the next 45 minutes I'm gonna piss in your shoes 3 times a day for the next 6 months untill my urine has deconstructed your shoes into shreds...now hand over the backpack and the contents need too be a festival off cold meats in there or else this has truly become an unnecessary uncool soul twisting apocalyptic turn off events here today ..."
I bet you the dog gets excited when he sees the hiking pack come out. They don't get bored doing cool things.
I used to go on remote solo hikes when I was your age until I got lost one time in a deep wilderness in Northern California 30 years ago. It changed my life and ended my climbing career and my ability to travel. I reduced my PTSD after a lot of outdoor trips but never got completely over it. I can love your scenery watching it at home but if I was there I would feel exactly like I felt when I was lost: I don't want to be here.
Felt the same way on my own property,gives me chills to think i got lost and could die on my own property within hundreds of yards of the road or trail,truck
what part of Northern california? just curious
@@yourchava Yolla Bolly Wilderness
i have been hunting there at least 15 years! have heard some strange noises there@@w.harrison7277
Don't be such a wuss. Getting lost is part of the fun. I've always wanted to be rescued via helicopter.
I am a Aussie and your dog looks to be a Kelpie/Border Collie cross, two of the most intelligent working dogs. I hope he enjoys the long treks as much as you do. He looked a little tired at the end. Beautiful dog and would be very loyal as is a dominant trait of the breeds.
Yeh. His poor tootsies!
He looks a little overweight...
He's a purebred Australian Shepard, not a mixed breed. I know. I have two of them and this little guy is a spitting image of one of my dogs. They are purebred as he is. Wonderful dogs!
@@Bheckel169 Mine was wxactly like that too, only less white blaze on the face.
@@fabiosplendido9536 not really, he has a very fluffy coat, my dog has the same but as soon as he gets wet he looks like a walking stick and you can easily feel his ribs
My people tell a legend of a great flood around 12 centuries ago that washed away the ancient ones. With this flood, we lost the technology and knowledge of the ancient ones. The elders say the waters from that great flood carved these arches and holes in the sandstone.
I would love to hear more of anything passed down from earlier generations of your people. I think those “legends” are absolutely true and tell us what’s to come. Is there anyway this would be possible, to hear more?
@@wrencoe4016it's in Genesis. Guy named Noah was involved. Read it. It's God's Word.
God. Noah. The Flood. The one True rainbow which is a promise, not the desecration it now represents.
@@JuniorFarquar We don't wanna hear about your fairytale book. But I am also interested in hearing about O.P. ancestors. What tribe are you from?
@@JuniorFarquarThat wasn't 1200 years ago though.
If a geologist could say how long ago the sand dunes were petrified,you could look up around that time to see what types of animals had bear type feet like those prints.
Love your loyal dog has no issues with leading the way. beautiful scenes along the way. thx!
I can only imagine what this place would be like during a rain storm.
Wet.
Monsoon season is INSANE in Utah
No kidding. Can you imagine the waterfalls, streams and pools. Would be something to see.
i think this was done by water many years ago
I definitely wouldn’t want to be anywhere near there during monsoon season! SAR will probably find your body at Lake Powell or something.
That massive sandstone mountain, I think is the one they use in a lot of the cowboy movies etc. You could have done with camping the night there. The tunnel you went through looks like a dried river bed and the whole area is carved out by water. It is really nice to see younger people tidying up the environment and I wish everyone thought like you and myself and many others out there. If everyone looked after their rubbish responsibly the world would be a much better place for us humans and especially wild and marine life, because rubbish blows into the sea no matter where you come from. ❤
Hubby and I own a ranch in Southern California. We have it listed with the film commission, and some limited filming has occurred there. The dirt road leading to the ranch is pretty rough, and in times of heavy rains, becomes impassable. The ranch is extremely beautiful, and we have uninterrupted views for many miles. Perfect for filming, right? Only a 2 hour drive from Los Angeles. But, the road is what keeps all but the most intrepid and adventurous film makers away. They need to be able to bring lots of large production vehicles to the ranch. And lots and lots of vehicles filled with people. And if they can’t drive there, they don’t film there. Which is why I think the truly beautiful place in today’s video, is not a filming location.
Hmmm going from the difficulty in getting in to that location, I think it highly unlikely. No way could production trailers, etc getin there. There are much more popular and aeasily accessible locations in that part of the States that fit the bill. Easy enough to google a movie name and the location. Also there would be evidence from shoots; they weren't so careful and enviro conscious back in the day.
The arch looks carved by water, but it leads right to a dead end. So it doesn't seem fast moving water went through there and just slammed into the wall.
Incredible landscape, thanks for sharing. Andy UK
This video just popped up on my recommendations and after watching it I immediately subscribed. This is absolutely stunning scenery and gorgeous camera work as well. Can't wait to go through the rest of your videos and to share your channel. Great work!
That means a lot. thank you
@@the_pov_channel Hey, love your videos. if you could adjust the sound levels in the beginning of the video, that would be great!!
Dude, that is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life and I'm 66 years old. I admire your tenacity and perseverance. Love your videos and be careful out there buddy.
Thanks dude, appreciate that more than you know. Safety is key, all credit goes to nature for creating such things.
@@the_pov_channel Speaking of not polluting the water and nature: the last part of the video. Any real nature lover would never wear a North Face jacket. N.F. gets away with peddling garbage, synthetic nanofiber jackets to millions of 'nature lovers' oblivious of what they're doing by supporting them. It doesn't take much (heart and brain) power to figure that out. Also, it would be Wise to share with public this little tidbit, so they Real Eyes / Know.
I love that you do this and spend hours all day just studying rock formations and places that want to hike to
We could do a picture explanation book together??? This is real and only smart people will think it thru others dismiss my work as it is very hard to believe but facts are facts.
I love seeing your videos! Roaming the beautiful landscapes with your dog is a dream come true for me. I love the west and go there on vacation as much as i can. Keep posting these awesome escapes. They are much aprecieated!!
Thanks Stanley. Very fortunate to be able to do this often. Hope you get out there and enjoy it!!
@@the_pov_channel Definite Water Erosion all over the site.
Roger from mudfossel university wants to do a collaboration with you bro! Make it happen...I'll watch for sure!
That's funny I was going to leave a comment and tell him to go to Mud fossil University and share the pictures and the video with Rodger! I couldn't help thinking that it was a living beast at one time a giant with the living DNA I'm not joking did you notice the anise :-)😊
Me too! I thought must send this to Roger, I would love to know what he thinks! Amazing find… can’t wait for pt 2 - is it out already?
@@jacekpalka55 Definitely!
What about your dog? No booties? What about when you have to climb steep walls?
I'm positive he would find all kinds of ridiculous ways to interpret these GEOLOGICICAL formations, not a one of them being correct in the slightest. He's a legit loony and I feel bad for him because it is obvious he believes what he is talking about. He will entertain anything but the most rational, simple explanation. I will say that he has mastered the art of fleecing the gullible for views and a minimal income, though. He puts more effort into crackpot theories than I ever put into my full time job for an honest paycheck. By the way, it is spelled Mudfossil, not mudfossel. Spelling is important if you want people to pay any attention to what you have to say.
Thanx for way you shoot these hikes and I especially appreciate that you let the sound of the places you visit simply be natural. It's like being there listening to the wind, birds or crackling of the stones you walk on. Very nice work!
That dog is living his best life! Great video too!
Fortunately for me, he is half mountain goat
This is a gem! Great work on this video, for sure. It looks, like there is a relief carving, in the middle of that tunnel, under the bridge, on the left side. Maybe not, idk, but this place is magical.
Lance, Thank you for more advebture. Reallu like your format. especially like Tui and he make the show. And the droinesanship is so well done.
i lived in nevada for 12 years omg i miss hiking in the desert so much.. i had to move to boston for work and i feel like im trapped in a box here... the southwest desert is the only place i ever felt freedom and peace
I live in Mass too. A few years ago I spent 6 months camping remotely out west. The quietness of the desert is something you couldn't describe to an urban person. One morning I climbed to the top of a big hill where I could watch the sun rise over the desert. It was one of the most spiritual things I've ever experienced. I must do it again before I die.
i loved discovering animals in the desert... so many beautiful birds and lizards. bighorn sheep wow ... i hate boston...this place is ugly.. the south west desert is virgin land so amazing@@Automedon2
I know how ya feel man. Hang in there. Nevada is beautiful
Don't tell anyone where this is or it'll be covered in F-word graffiti within a month. That place is extraordinary! What a cool adventure with a huge payout! Thank you so much for picking up the trash too!
Will never disclose locations... places like this should only be found by those up to the task and who can appreciate and respect it. Also- I disagree with the graffiti piece. Fortunately, most hikes in the Southwest have absolutely 0 graffiti. That's something I have really only found in hikes outside of Los Angeles or big metro cities.
When graffiti is old enough, it gets called petroglyphs.
@@the_pov_channel I've only been around Idaho and Alaska and, unfortunately, there's graffiti in the most out of the way places in both those places. Moreso Idaho than Alaska thank goodness.
@@breezybest6064 that's sad. I hate that. fortunately Natural processes will erode those away long after we are gone
@@the_pov_channel I am glad you made this clear to everyone here. I was pleased that you didn't reveal location data.
Getting pumped when I see a new vid from you man, great work again!
Stoked to see your comment! Thanks man lots more headed your way.
Super cool video, thanks for sharing 😊
SPECTACULAR! Wow man, I am fully blown away. Wish I could be there - It would be hard to leave. Pictures do very little for something of this magnitude. WOW! Thanks so much Brother - Keep going Brother! This is astounding!
Great video! When you entered the area and I saw the arch I got super excited, even more so when I saw there wasn't a fire ring and ton of litter. Great Job, Stay Safe out there!
finding this channel is almost as amazing as what you found in the video, lol. seriously though, this is a really cool concept for a series, and i'm interested to see what else you can find.
Thank you so much. I also look forward to where this series will take us
Awesome trek and discovery! Thanks for caring! Awesome photography!
Just subscribed, keep them comming you are doing a great job. Your dog loves it too. Stay safe.
That arch was absolutely a portal!!! Kudos brother! Most beautiful walk in Wonderland! Gratitude for sharing...Stay free...
Giant structure melted by electrical storms..have done a lot of exploring all over this great land with my dog and a couple different Hondas🤙🏽love your style man! Keep up the great work..also I pick up trash everywhere I go too. Never stop doing that..remember all girls like it but the right one will actually follow your lead and stop and help you when she see you doing it
So true. It's an Electric Universe.
honestly im commenting before the video finishes but if you look more its a very good area for small civilizations, strategic area, great discoveries my man!
Hi! Hiking out there by yourself is very dangerous. I doubt there is a cell tower nearby in case of an emergency. Do you take a satellite phone? You should if you continue this lone hiking. That said, I love this video. I am a retired geologist and specialized in sedimentary rocks for my masters. I am also from that kind of country (Arizona) but now live in Florida. Life takes you around! Thank you for recording this stupendous trek. I discovered previously never seen dinosaur tracks near the LSU geology field camp in Colorado in 1973. The former beach sediments were vertical now, and I was digging out the interbedded shale looking for depositional structures. Then when a big chunk fell away, there was a tri-toed dinosaur footprint about as big as my hand with fingers spread on the surface face of the sandstone bed. I took photos, but was not able to pursue this further because I was an undergrad student on an assignment that was not paleontology! Unlike what you found, the toes were in a v-shape. I was the first anything to see it in about at least 65 million years! I was awed! Not being a paleontologist, I cannot help you identify what you saw. It was definitely a footprint, though.

What magnificent scenery! Thanks so much!
Incredible landscape . Thanks for taking us on a journey into a real wonderland. I get the impression that these formations were created by an ancient inland sea that carved out these fantastic forms.
Definitely a large part of the erosion process. and thank you!!
Wow. Absolutely stunning. Thank you for doing this. I am a lady of a certain age with a partially torn ligament that I am hoping heals without surgery sitting here watching you bring the world into my life. Technology and good people equals amazing.

You have a good energy dude. Keep up the adventures.

The immense power of flowing water ceases to amaze me. That took a tremendous time and serious amount of flow.
Actually all those happened in a pretty short period of time. Vast amounts of water (flood) in matter of a few days

Finding what may have been some petroglyph carved into the stone was cool. I wonder if it was symbolic, or perhaps a rough map?
Beautiful Ausi!

Such a beautiful landscape! Never seen anything like that before.
love it man! nice explr , cant wait for part two !
I discovered you today and I have seen 5 of your videos in a row, congratulations!!!! I have subscribed.
Epic thanks!!
I do a lot of hiking and a good trick I have found is to take a small drone with me, nothing special just something that can give me a view of the land I am hiking on when I come to rough places like this. Not like the one you filmed with, just a small pocket sized one with like a 100 meter range. That way I can plot the best course from the air and find the easiest path and identify any potential problems ahead of me like any dangerous animals or obstacles.
Thank God no gold was found by the old timers..None of this beautiful stone structure would exist.,. Amazing the public hasn't been trashing the place...❤☝️🤗🙏🌹

I heard that just in a part near the end when views from up high were filmed. I think it may be the sound of his camera drone. I thought it was rain at first too.

Also, could the "S" carved in the rock with lines under it be the native American symbol for Water? They used to draw maps and in an area like that it'd be even more important to show where water is at on a map.
It is just geology, not man made.
Love the view
@@Willy_Tepes How do you know? It looks like there's a triangle, an S, and parallel lines all beside each other there.
@@dez6278 because if you look at the other rocks in the area, they all have these types of "engravings". Given the topography, it's likely from water run off over thousands of years. It stands to reason that, given enough random attempts, nature will formulate some shapes that trigger our modern brains to see something that isn't there. Also, along those same lines, given all of the other natural designs and lines in the area, it's unlikely ancient people would have made a marker to something as important as water among all those other natural designs where it could easily blend in and be overlooked. They'd place it somewhere distinctively and clearly as is seen at other sites.
@@dez6278yeah I really wish he filmed there a bit longer. I wanted more screen shots. The upper left looks like a hand but he stopped filming. Humans lived in these area for eons, so I always look at different ideas. Either way they are so beautiful!
There may have been two tracks. One you put your hand in and just to the left.😮
And one further up, if you continue in the video after I pause it
Fascinating every time I’m drawn into the reality that some people were living or using the areas that you and others find and show me.
That’s the most surreal landscape. It would be part of a national park almost anywhere else.
Agreed. Fortunately there are lots and lots of places like this in national parks that are much easier to get to.
The whole Four Corners part of America is mind bogglingly beautiful. You can't look around without seeing something spectacular. And it doesn't stop there, the Ancestral Puebloan culture left ruins all over the area. There are dinosaur tracks everywhere too.
Too cool, makes me wonder exactly how they were eroded. Looks like a lot more than just normal rain and wind.
It always baffles me.
Water. Duh.

What an awesome place! Did you notice that the arch/tunnel you walked through had a trail all the way through it in the very center, like it was etched into the sandstone? That "S" you saw was likely a depiction of a snake or river. I suppose it's possible that nature could have carved it, but it looked to me to have been carved by human hands. What a fun place. Thanks for picking up.

Nice footage, interesting area looks very very old! 👍 digg the background Soundscape. Would be useful to know the measurements of that foot print. Those pot holes looks like alot of fast flowing water once went over this area considering those pot holes.
Awesome scenery, thanks so much!
Genuinely can't even IMAGINE the erosive forces contributing to the development of such a structure... so much water must have flown through here at some point...
Every ancient culture has a flood myth...!
Given enough time, even a little occasional rain will equate to a flood.
