Howdy Y'all, thanks for watching this video and all the amazing feedback. Thought it was a good idea to clarify some thoughts I left out of the final edit. It is my goal to share my love for the outdoors and human / natural history to likeminded people, young people, people who do not have the ability to get outside anymore. Not to increase traffic to sensitive locations. I don't usually say this- but I respectfully ask you to keep this location limited to your discussions with friends and family. Theres a couple reasons I don't show the artwork here: 1.) I do not want to show the names modern people have carved into the face of the artwork because it's a crime against humanity 2.) the permit process states I legally cannot show petroglyphs / pictographs online. On a personal note- Since I started making outdoor exploration videos several months ago, I have been completely astounded by the huge volume of viewers and overwhelming positive feedback. Every day I wake up able to pursue this dream feels too good to be true. From the bottom of my heart- thank you to everyone here. More and more I have to consider the impact I may have. I hope you can understand that I'm just a regular person trying to do the right thing while sharing my love for nature and the ways humans lived on this planet long before our strange modern world. I love discussing differing ideas and opinions if you are willing to articulate reasonably. Much love to you all and hope you are having a good start to the leap year yewwww- POV

Good answer to unasked, but interesting questions. I will try to give you some interesting places near where we live in Tennessee to Google Earth. Of course they are, for the most part, better seen in person. When possible. We live in SE Tennessee near the junction on Tn, Ga and Aladamnbama near Nickajack Dam on the Tennessee River. Also near the now flooded Nickajack Cave. The old dam upriver, Hales Bar Dam, has been featured on a couple of ghost hunter channels. Coincidentally I died on Lock and Dam road in 1978. It's the dead end road to the old dam on the west side of the river. I guess the ghost of the hit man I survived might be wandering around out there somewhere. I've gone out there at night a few times to check but no contact. Just wanted to piss him off. Um, it's a true, but long, story. One of many in my undeserved miracles filled life. We live on the southern end of the Sequatchie Valley which, according to Louis L'Amour, is one of the most beautiful places in the world. As spoken thru his character Jubal Sackett. Coincidentally also the name of the book. If you don't read L'Amour you might want to check out some of his fiction novels for interesting places to Google Earth out where the wild things are near you. He was famous, kinda, for the areas featured in his books being "real" places. Be back in a minute, 5yr old granddaughter has a question....

That entire valley was a massive 400-600 mile long shallow inland tidal sea and marshland surrounded by live Oaks & other trees when the Spanish first arrived , the cavettes were once on the ancient shoreline formed by wave and wind action from the intense north winds in the previous pleistoscene epoch when the inland sea level was higher & much deeper. The grass is called Spanish Grass an invasive specie brought from Spain and introduced to the area to feed the massive herds of cattle being raised and grazed there long before the Euro pilgrims settled on east coast. People tend to forget or never knew that the pueblos of San Diego & Los Angeles were in existence 150++ years before the US was created in 1776 .The 1st rock outcrop shown with the entrance passage facing due north is known by indigenous peoples as a sacred "Yoni" the shape and cavities within representing a female's vagina & birth canal. (as can be seen from above in the drone shots) The latter day anglo Americans started draining the shallow sea for agricultural purposes in the mid-late 1800's as by then the massive pleistoscene sea had evaporated into a huge fresh water marshland fed by the snow runoff from the Sierra Nevada & coastal mountain ranges, and in time the Oak trees succumbed to the axe and saw by the over achieving land hungry gringo American pioneers in their infinite wisedumb & thoughtless concept of progress, having met the same fate at the same time as that of 95% of the coastal Redwood forests that existed from North Los Angeles/ Malibu creek up into what is now called Oregon along the coastal range to the west. Devolving from a natural landscape to unnatural manscape in a paltry 170 years. At the southern end of the valley's once watery terminus there are now fossil beds exposed containing whale bones, shark teeth and other marine fossils in great profusion, as well as Mammoth, Mastodon, Sloth, Camel, Horse, Dire Wolf, Sabre Tooth Cat & other mega fauna remains just above the not so ancient and ancient remnants of shorelines still existing in some places along the base of the mountain ranges, though most has now gone under by the tractor & plow.

It was an excellent video and edit. I really enjoyed the sounds during the drone footage. At 20:00 you can clearly see the line between Tan color sandstone and the Grey color of the Concrete Lichen that is all over the exterior of this structure. There are also other colors of lichen on these rocks. The Grey concrete lichen will help resist the erosion of the sandstone over time. At 28:41 the uniformly shaped + dispersed mounds in this valley floor are called Mima Mounds. These are most commonly thought by geologists' to be caused by seismic earthquakes resulting in a Simatic pattern. Quite a bit of study has been done on these. I've seen them in Washington State.

Thank you, Nolan. This is an amazing place and your videography, especially the drone shots and high altitude shots of the meandering waterways, give me a sense of really being there and 'knowing' the place. By birth, I'm a natural-born nature mystic. As a boy I knew nothing about such things-only that when I was out doors and away from people, nature sometimes 'spoke' to me and gave me sensations and experiences that 'rocked' me to the core-that I later learned are called "ecstatic," and "transcendent." As an adult, my life-path has led me to live in a vast urban area. In my younger years I managed to get out of it occasionally, into the wilderness. On a few occasions I managed to back-pack far enough and for long enough that the bindings of so-called 'civilization' were shed and I found myself once again in the true reality of our ancestors. They lived in a world so different from ours, it is now difficult for us to even imagine, let alone experience. But we can, if we allow ourselves to go far enough and long enough to let go of what we think we know. There, in a world without clocks, a world without machines, a world without the history we are taught, or the 'science' that we think explains what is 'real' and what is 'not', we live among the 'gods'. They reside in stars, the sun, the moon, the air, the clouds, the lightening, thunder, and rain-and everywhere upon the earth. In the plants, the animals, the rocks, the rivers and streams, the fish, and the insects that populate shallow pools of water. And they speak to us and tell us how long they have been and how often we have come and gone, over and over and over again. Our human history is far more ancient and far stranger than we've been told. Our origins are mythological. Literally. This work of art you've shared has reminded me of all that-now old and infirm and unable to physically return to what is my (our) true home. I thank you for that! Very much!

@@davidfileccia6317 Perhaps. Perhaps it could benefit us both. But first, do you understand that any wisdom you glean from words you read or hear is yours? It isn't contained in these shapes we call letters assembled into words strung together into sentences. It isn't contained in the sounds we make when pronouncing them, either. If that is true, we have to ask, where is it then? It's a good question, one worthy of a lifetime of search, hopefully never satisfied with answers expressed in words alone. Moreover, the words I typed were inspired by Nolan's work, having reminded me of truths I seldom recall, much less embody or give voice. He's given us a true gift-a genuine work of art (and I do not use that word lightly). My peculiar life led me to find and sit in the presence of some far more focused and dedicated to the search than am I. By comparison, I'm an irresponsible slug-too ashamed to look the best of them steadily in the eye; knowing I lack the strength and will to sacrifice what is necessary to shoulder even a small portion of the responsibility they bear. Yet, I suspect such words of lamentation would be regarded as foolishness by them. As one (a British Lord, no less-who passed from this world decades ago) said in response to my report of observing the forces of attraction and repulsion taking place within myself said, "We do not reward objective self-observation, it being reward enough in itself." For what it may be worth, I do have a rather odd substack, to which I seldom post. But you're welcome to follow if you like, there's no fee required.

The features in sandstone that you said you’ve never seen before are common, especially in arid and coastal areas-it’s called Tafoni, and is a type of weathering that mostly occurs in sandstone. There is still no scientific consensus on how tafoni exactly forms, but one common hypothesis involves salt weathering (hence why it is common in arid and coastal areas) and that would track given this basin’s past, hosting an alkaline pluvial lake during the Pleistocene, into which salts and clays were deposited. After the Pleistocene, these salty sediments would have basically sandblasted the rock when picked up by winds and thrown against them.

The lake in the background makes me feeling shuree that the this rocks were eroded by the water coz long time ago the waterline changed all the time. What we see is typical water erosion. Imagen this rocks laying directly at the shores of this big lake and water is constantly clashing against it. Later when the water line sunk dramatically this rocks were getting dry and animals and humans found shelter in it.

It is so great to see someone who enjoys their natural environment to the degree that you do. It is also brilliant that you are so willing to take your followers for the journey too. You are able to express your sincere appreciation for the peoples that used to live in these regions, where as you are also able to tell us of the total disregard that others have for the sacred history that the ancient people's left behind. It is so pleasing to be taken to areas of the States that would normally be never seen by a tourist. Thank you so much.

I really enjoy your videos, i like how you are more about the wonder, and exploring more than filling the quiet parts with facts or cutting for time. The lack of the "youtube" meta for videos is refreshing

I have read about this fascinating location, seen photos of the amazing pictographs and zoomed around that area via Google Earth, but will likely never get to visit in person as I live hundreds of miles away in Oregon. Your great video has allowed me to see it from ground level and I very much enjoyed it. Thanks and praise for your efforts and sharing here. Very nice videography on a gorgeous day.

Another amazing post! Found you a week ago and subscribed immediately! It is beyond disgusting how people vandalize/ruin nature and historic sites! Best things on this post: 2 min in love the hilly, mtn shots and in general love the overviews of all the big formations so we get an idea of scope and the multiple sites. What are those things swimming around in the pond at the top? Are those tadpoles? I'm sure the ancient people used the pond as a natural catchment for water. Interesting how many ticks are in grass -- I was thinking ticks were mostly in forests. Wouldn't like to see how many ticks your dog brought home! Thank you for bringing us to this special place and for spending so much time there + all the amazing drone footage. The land is so green! Best, from Colorado!

Those aren't tadpoles, they're fairy shrimp. Look at them closely and you'll see there's a whole bunch of legs moving around while they're swimming, because they swim upside down to get their food from the surface of the water. Fairy shrimp are extremely rare to see and will often wait decades to hatch when conditions are perfect for them to survive long enough to reproduce.

At 5:18 you mention storing food in there, but at that point u filmed the ceiling and it was black. That's a great indication for ash from fire at the ceiling - veeeery interesting. I think it was a great place for shelter too, the heat goes up, no water can come inside, because the whole caveground is moving up - you found a great place! Watch the ceiling at 11:24 right left behind the head - most parts came off, but the black part....! :) 11:51 what a great watching spot for invaders right in front of your feet :P

This was an easy subscribe. I love the way you incorporated birdsong and wind to enrich the experience.

That's a nice video and story, but you are so full of bull!! What you "discovered is an ancient rock formation known as Painted Rock. Painted Rock is a smooth horseshoe-shaped marine sandstone rock formation with pictograph rock art about 250 feet across and 45 feet tall near Soda Lake within the Carrizo Plain National Monument on the southwest side of the northern Carrizo Plain, west of Bakersfield and about 70 miles (110 km) east of San Luis Obispo and 45 miles (72 km) west of Taft, in California. I have been there many times over the years. Anyone can visit it for a $10.00 fee. (At least that is what they charged the last time I went there.) There are no "wetlands" within 50 miles of that place other than the old dried up "Soda Lake" which is about 20 miles from Painted Rock. That monolith and all the so-called passages were carved by water and wind when it was part of an ancient sea, not by man. Estimates are that the Chumash people first populated the Carrizo Plain about 2000 BCE but mostly abandoned it, possibly due to drought, about CE 600. The Yokuts people common in the nearby San Joaquin Valley moved in and out of the Carrizo Plain area after the Chumash departed, creating their own rock art. There is much debate about what group of native peoples lived in this area, as the Salinan, Yokut and Chumash peoples all lay claim to it. Painted Rock was a holy place to the native American tribes. They called it Mother Earth because of it's resemblance to the human vagina. Native peoples did not live there - they only went there to gather for religious ceremonies. The rock art at Painted Rock is inferred to have been produced in shamanic tradition or ritual. The meanings of the symbols have many interpretations but can only be inferred. The paintings were painted using red, black and white yucca pigments, and some yellow, green and blue were painted with rodent tail hair brushes or simple finger painting. Ongoing literature discussion speculates that the imagery was produced in association with shamanic trance and hallucination. Spaniards came through the area in the 18th century; rancheros of Portuguese descent left engravings on Painted Rock in the late 19th century. The rock art now attracts thousands of visitors each year. Unfortunately, heavy graffiti and reckless gunshot damage to the prehistoric rock art was mostly done in the 1920s. Ongoing damage has continued. As a result, the site is now protected by law, has limited access, and has vigilant surveillance. Although volunteers removed some of the damage in 1991, the extent of destruction is almost overwhelming to observers (Painted Rock is often described as a "ruined" heritage site). However, even the modern damage may be evaluated in a historic context by future generations. Ongoing animal burrowing, natural weathering, and erosion are also degrading the site. The Goodwin Education Center is located near Painted Rock and provides environmental education and guided tours. Painted Rock is closed during raptor nesting season (March 1 through July 15). Native Americans still frequently use Painted Rock for ceremonies and other activities

Just an add-on question of mine, concerning gathering dating evidence for some sites. Some of those caves in this video had lots of carbon left over on the ceilings from fires long ago. Would it be possible to unobtrusively scrape some small amounts for carbon dating?

An oasis in the plains where many feet have felt the grounds. It's so overwhelming. I hate the assault on the artwork.... How egotistical, to think your art is more important than the FEW messages they have preserved for us.

That one cave with the spiders you had to crawl into must've been like a hotbox/sweat lodge type space. You can see the blacked out ceiling from the smoke. I can't imagine sitting with a fire in such a small space, must've gotten toasty

Geologically, imagine yourself being in Yellowstone Park. The geysers, mud pots etc. Due to plate techtonics, the hot spot that is currently beneath Yellowstone, has been traveling or more correctly the continent has traveled over from the SW direction. This has occurred over millions of years. So possibly that rock is an old mud pot. You must try to imagine how the earth was formed and the crazy geological processes that have occurred. Ancient seas, volcanoes, meteor strikes, floods, glaciers and more have contributed to the way it is today.

It's a lovely theory, but mud pots would lithify into a type of mudrock (very original name, I know) such as shale/slate/claystone, rather than sandstone. I'm sure there are plenty of such examples elsewhere though. This particular formation was created by the lithification of sand bars and dunes from an ancient river that once flowed through the area.

Thankyou for this 🙏Your presentation is intoxicating and camera work hypnotic and ethereal.... You have a real gift in sharing the essence and detail ....Wonderful ,truly wonderful !
