Alex, it was truly a wonderful surprise to hear your voice and to walk out see you standing in my families shop! Thank you for entrusting us with restoring your bracelet. I have so many questions I would like to ask you. Your stories always inspire me to go out and look for clues to our past.

These are my ancestral tribal lands on my mother's side. The Esselen tribe. It's said we are the first North American Tribe to get back original ancestral lands from the Government (2020 1,199-acres). Thank you for respecting the lands and bringing its sacred beauty and mystery to your viewers.

Another great trek 🚶‍♀️ to ancient Native American sites. I love that you found some wonderful mortars, a shelter with the cave-like structure, a creek bed, Oak trees with acorns and elderberry bushes. (Your German pronunciation is understood, but it’s fun that you explained how you lived in Germany 🇩🇪 for several years. Makes perfect sense.) Thank you Alex. Your passion is contagious.

Thank you for sharing. California is full of ancient sites. The Napa area certainly has long lost histories of many groups who lived in California long before the history books were written.

@janebeckman3431 8 ай бұрын

Water in cracks in the stone, freezing and thawing over centuries, is perfectly capable of splitting rocks apart. And the occasional earthquake can disrupt the pieces. Those tumbled bedrock mortars are very interesting as a testament to past processes of nature.

@owizzlebeezy123 8 ай бұрын

Due to location, I'd hypothesize about earthquakes causing some of these breaks and the subsequent rolling.

@dharsh007 2 ай бұрын

Nice video..I just have an observation about the broken boulders in this video.Dont forget that you're fairly close to the San Andreas fault, and that the whole state is earthquake prone. A big one in 1854, 7.5ish near Fort Tejon/Frazier Park area, the 1906 of course, and who knows how many others just before white settlement. Of course still could be ancient breaks, just food for thought.Thanks for sharing that awesome site! Darin.

@jamesellsworth9673 8 ай бұрын

Possibly this site was a food gathering and processing site. The shelter you found would suit for overnights on relatively short stays. Fires would be out in the open. Today, the site offers vistas that add to a sense of security.

Great. Now I'm going to have to go the Emergency Room on account of the poison oak you got close to.

@Skyy_415 8 ай бұрын

that area is vast and loaded with an abundance of oak, water and game. Could there have been groups of people living along the san antonio river and surrounding vicinity, and not just the rocky out crops? Was that general area their permanent home , or seasonal?

@storiesbyalex 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching. Not far from the rock shelter there are definitely signs of permanent habitation with several hundred mortars around the landscape......................alex

You must be very controversial per KZfaq. You always fall off my radar. I love watching and learning from you. Thank you so very very much. I live outside of Tehachapi. In Stallion Springs. Cummings Valley. I want you to tell this area's story. Please please please. I'm not getting any younger.

When you give the age of the settlement determining it by the rocks why would you consider those bushes and trees as the food source when they are by no means that old?

@storiesbyalex 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching and your comments. Plants/vegetation are a regenerative source and although those trees or bushes are not the exact same ones from a thousand+ years ago they are all related. This process occurs through the growth and survival of seedlings and saplings that replace large forest trees and other plants as they die. Its through this process that the landscape can remain the same over hundreds and thousands of years. For example, the Amazon rain forest is millions of years old..........alex

@user-yo1pk4ky4k 8 ай бұрын

The Amazon rain forest is largely a product of people living down there for the last 14,000 years or so. The various species of trees were steered by people who promoted trees they could use. The place is a massive garden. Even with people now largely removed, most areas down there the species of plants and trees that persist are ones chosen by people over that time. Without ancient people the Amazon rain forest would be completely different today. Same with the area you went to in this video; these areas are massive gardens created by people. Girdling trees they did not want and fire were their main tools. This is a great channel. Well done, Alex!@@storiesbyalex

@haroldtakahashi8875 8 ай бұрын

💛...a possibility?...being in an active earthquake zone, and with the fragility of the sandstone, wouldn't it be sensible to stay out of the cavernlike structures?...apparently, they were there for an extended period, considering the size of the mortars, but, they might have abandoned the site more recently evidenced by the lack of extensive erosion of the broken stone...just saying...

Well,,,,,,, You were visiting "my old stomping grounds"! There is NO SHORTAGE of evidence of ancient people living in this area. There are 100's of really "cool" places - not documented - for good reasons all over this area. That's all I want to say.
