Dear Mr Hiker, I went to butler wash in 2008 on a raft trip, and I walked to the same cliff area, and cave grotto, above the pond, and explored the very same petroglyphs that you have documented here. I burned a small fire using bits of brush and sticks, way up in the hanging cliff bowl that you showed a glimpse of, above the pond. Incredible area. I have photos of the same rock grafitti. One symbol that was recurrent that I saw was a sprial that ended with a dog leg. I later learned from Navajo elders that the spiral symbolizes the endless universe and time. There are so many rock carvings that it looks like an area where lots of Dine, the Navajo people, met, lived and hunted for thousands of years. It's a national treasure trove of their presence. I'm very happy to revisit this place through your video. Thank you very much!

The confluence of a creek and river were always popular and very busy locations for American Indians; usually the site of a village, or important meeting place, etc. I've found petroglyphs one time that kept going, and they became more numerous as I followed them. They even continued around a blind corner - I walked around the corner and there was a huge pool of water with a fresh spring! I also found an old Pueblo cliff dwelling in a cave around 300' up (I don't think it was explored much before if at all). I got inside, and the ceiling was covered in petroglyphs. I was kind of tired, so I sat down inside, ate my lunch, and then took a nice 4-hour nap! I then watched the sun start to set from it before I headed back... From that cave home you could see for miles and miles - a very good defensive position!

I’d love to see this panel after LiDAR scanned. I bet we’d see a lot more details.

That panel would be Ideal for my favorite way to photo them, as a Panorama. You could create a long photo very detailed and get the whole panel in one photo could probaly shoot 5 or 6 shots and stitch them together. Looks like the bottom of the panel is slowly eroding away. Great Video!

Float the San Juan River from Sand Island to Mexican Hat....this is a stop along the way .....a one day float....can sign up in Bluff, Utah.....nice video.

Είναι ένας μοναδικός μαγικός κόσμος που οι πρωτόγονοι ανακάλυπταν την Γη τα αστέρια και τις μαγικές δυνάμεις της ζωής και του θανάτου. Ένα μεγάλο ευχαριστώ για την πραγματικά ολοκληρωμένη παρουσίαση σου..🇬🇷👏👏💖

Amazing capture, thank you for sharing your experience, is just beautiful.

So much for taking the time to document this years ago I went to see the petroglyphs up in Valley of Fire in Nevada lots of them bright Bryant nothing like this and twenty years later when I Revisited it they had faded out so much it was sad so I hope someone somewhere is making really good record of these before they're totally lost time your videos will be a huge record for future Generations so thank you keep it up

Good job , well done , always seen the first 30 second of the beginning !!!! 😮 But at 58 years old, WoW. Never saw the rest. , never knew there was more to see !!!! Thank so much , I'm glad you liked it so much Teresa Hayward CA USA

It took me to another world. Just by watching. Amazing

😲 WOW, that just blowed my mind , I think this is the best KZfaq video, that I have ever seen, I'm going to watch it again, right now, WOW

What a beautiful experience. I hope I'm able to find this place before I die.

Thanks, I am inspired to draw these types of things now. People with 3 or 4 horizontal lines over their heads, animals that have horns, simplest forms, no struggles!

Have you seen the Dineh Navajo swimming pool? It's brilliant and took some manual work, but it still works today. It's just a nice hole at least 3-5 ft deep. The Anasazi carved out channels in the rock above, so when water fell, it funneled into the pool! There are several "channels" carved out of the red rock, all leading to the "swimming pool". I'd never seen a think like it before. It's a genius move by those ppl for sure.

This panel proves there were many more Native People than most people think. That's thousands of years of history there. Family after Family, united here. I never realized how large that panel is. Thank You for sharing with us.

Have you hiked up to the Hidden Valley panel on the western Moab Rim? That's the LONGEST series of petroglyph panel's I've seen yet. My FAVORITE hike. Gonna do it tomorrow! Hit me up if you want to check it out! Couple of false kivas and dino tracks on top of the panels. Absolutely INCREDIBLE location.

Fantastic! The habitations nearby which I've seen on KZfaq are also amazing! I MUST go there someday.

My question is "HOW they got up there? It's so high!"

Wow thanks a lot for sharing it makes me feel like I'm underwater and I can't breathe because it's the lack of knowledge of who did it when they did it why they did it what year was the history of the people The Village what they look like the clothes they wore amazing mystery and how I would like to be there to see them and meet them and to eat some of their yummies

Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Wow, thanks

great stuff wish we could get there in person so it is great to get there through your eyes thank you be safe out there god bless

Amazing!! I wonder how Ancient it is?!

Very interesting space type creatures with lots of details, what's your opinion as to the origin of the pets mainly the space creatures do you think it was imagination or creatures they had seen, my opinion i think they had seen them them , almost all the pets ive seen in these west Midwest areas have space creatures that are spooky and some just give you the chills and give off a very uneasy feeling i might add , last question, have you ever been visiting one of these and had any uncomfortable feelings . Awesome video sir thank you so much, although i have explored so much of the tristate area of Nevada California and Arizona desert growing up in Kingman Arizona this i have not been to and probably won't in my lifetime at 50 now living in Ohio so the video is priceless, i still have family in Kingman and different parts of Arizona and California but with things going the way they are in this country i have my doubts but i guess u never know, so anyway thank you for the priceless videos

This must have been a meeting place or something? They detail the clans and the number of people that were there.

That panel was just beautiful. I would love to recreate part of it and frame it for my room. Thank You for sharing it!💕

Wow!

Amazing place.

That is an amazing place ! I love the giant big foot / big hand beings. And noticed that 1 of the smaller ones looked to be holding 2 of the big guys back. 2 different sizes of sponge Bob robots? I find it strange that most of the human looking ? Beings, are shaped like that all over the DSW. This one also looks as if 1 person crafted all of the sponge Bob robots. Oh, they all look like they have ... weeners ? Is that like, Hi, I'm biological. ? Great video, 1/4 in. Do you think that the black material they chipped away was very old vitrified rock ? 😊

I’ve recently come across your videos and have been loving following your experiences and travels. You’re inspiring me to get out there and and just exploring and getting outside of my comfort zone to see what’s out there. Let me know if you’d like a hiking buddy at some point as I try to get to the area a few times a year with my teenage son.

Wow, I don't know what else to say. Too bad the vitrified material has slipped off and made that long long wall hard to enjoy. Fantastic, thank you. 😊

Have these ever been interpreted in anyway? What are the stories they tell?

Very nice but you move way too fast. Please slow down when filming the petroglyphs. I love seeing them!

is this the longest petroglyph panel in the world? or at the top of the list...

Fascinating. It appears they are all, or mostly, above ground level. Do we assume they used a scaffold to get that high, or some other explanation?

That one panel looks like an army of-...umm...

What makes the parts of the rock so dark and how did the climb so high?

Fabulous ..do you take heaps of still photos ..would be awesome to really study them...thanks for the great vision .. amazing area . From Australia 🦘🦘🦘

So how did they get up that high to carve them?

Who was Stillmore? You said you kept seeing him. 😂😂

Makes me wonder what scorched that wall and turned it black. Could it have been the micro nova from our sun 12,000 to 13,000 years ago? Similar scorch marks have been found near the pyramids in Egypt.

Whenever I look at them, I imagine that the natives centuries ago depicted those who did this abomination to the Earth. They took millions of cubic meters of rock from these places. These ancient quarries were once a paradise. 🤔

People dont see the real story behind these petroglyphs they tell about about an encounter extraterresttial life as they saw it in there way of interopetion as you can see by the way they look very strange figures indeed i love it wow amazing what they saw ?

At 2:30 I see a face profile that fills the whole picture. I wonder if the native people saw that.

how did they get up there???????

Nice video. Early July a few of us will riding dual sport motorcycles north starting in Mexican Hat. We will be heading north up Butler Wash after a loop through Valley of the Gods. How many miles up Butler Wash is this area heading north off Hwy 163? Thx

Thank YOU very much it was great to see. Maybe you were in a bit of a hurry, maybe you had a reason, I don't know. anyway don't run home, and your hitch is precious to me ❤ Thank you so much! 👨‍🦽

What i want to know is how did they reach so far up the cliff without any discernable wikiups leading to them? What if these are the same race of giants as in Lovelock cave that carved them?

Super cool! I recently found similar paintings on a large scale in China near Mongolia - check it out id love your feedback. Regards!

Why are the lower parts of the glyphs missing ? Souvenir hunters ?

I wonder if this was ancient humans way of communicating with the spirit/God and an affirmation if you will to help bridge the connection between spirit and our earthly life.

Gee - could you pan past these any faster?

Good work. This maybe one of the sites where Anthony Peratt photographed what he considered petroglyphs depicting plasma discharge events in the night sky witnessed and copied by early inhabitants.
