A Trail of Artifacts Led Me to an Ancient Building in the Sky - 1 Year Anniversary SPECIAL

[@Desert.Drifter]

UPDATE: I'm trying to work with KZbin Creator Support to figure out why some of you are having strange language issues with this video. Some have said that refreshing the video will eventually get it to English. I'm sorry, once I have an update I will post here.* Hey all, I had to take this down after my initial upload because of a strange glitch where people were only seeing the video in German. So I re-uploaded and hope I fixed the issue. Thank you for supporting the channel over the past year, excited for what's coming in year 2! Check out today's sponsor, Surfshark for a Desert Drifter discount surfshark.com/desert

[@alannachristie6495]

Thank you for making that clear...thought I was the one glitching! I did watch the first time round and don't believe I was hearing it in German! Keep up the good videos! Your voice is very soothing to listen to! ❤😊

[@mlgauss60435]

You shouldn't have to apologize for not telling where you are. MOST of us, totally understand! I personally couldn't get to those places even if I knew where! I'd rather leave it up to the experts, like you, to show us what you find. I have watched your channel for almost a year, so have a happy anniversary! I thoroughly appreciate and enjoy your videos and hope you continue to do these!

[@thatguy6111]

Can’t agree more, no one complains that you can’t touch ancient masterpieces in a museum because your denied access to the spaces they are kept in, this is no different just because it’s not in a building. The fact it’s on public ground does not mean we have any “right” to know where to find these ancient master works of their day.

[@mj2745]

Same! I'm glad you don't reveal the locations. It would all be lost.

[@stephengraham1153]

"You shouldn't have to apologize for not telling where you are" I agree totally. Although I suspect that the vast majority of subscribers would tread lightly if visiting one of these locations, it really only takes one or two people to ruin them for everyone else.

[@warrenpatten7717]

Thanks for your hard work. Fantastic job on all your camera footage. Congratulations on the year and enjoy watching each show. Cheers from Sydney Australia. Have a great Christmas. 👍 thanks mate 👍

[@dolls-er1bq]

Those who are familiar with the American west can recognize every single place he has gone to. So far every place he has shown in his videos, I could give you an exact coordinate. And 99% of the places he shows are well known and well documented by archeologists. To make them look mystical or a "legend" is ridiculous. There is no legend. These people lived here as real people. These same places had been written about in dozens of articles and many books. It is very obvious he does not reveal even general locations is because he wants to create an image of mysterious secrecy and some kind of "I am a hero" image. Deceiving for the viewers, not to mention it is wrong to not give credit to the people who explored these places before him. Like the cowboy who preserved this very canyon. Why not tell his story?

The DD's videos are educational and quite fascinating. One of the best uses of YT I have seen. We get to see places that we are unlikely ever to visit. Particularly like the excellent drone camerawork where we see vistas that have remained essentially unchanged for thousands of years. Makes you realise how lucky we are to live on such a beautiful planet.

[@pmccoy8924]

I came to your channel for education reasons. Been a lurker for quite some time and I find it not only calming but easy to understand. A distant first cousin quite a few generations removed was Dr. Michael Steck, former Indian Agent for the Chiricahua and Superintendent of Indian Affairs appointed by President Lincoln. He had great respect for the Apache nation, respect was mutual until the death of Cochise family members by miners and the slaying of Colorada by the Army. Shortly after was the US Civil War. Dr. Steck opposed the reservation for Navajo nation because it lacked adequate size, agricultural needs were little to none, and he argued that the land should be on their own land. It was ignored and was a disaster for all involved. Thank you for teaching me a thing or two along your journey.

[@chuckie5671]

To think that whole families climbed those cliffs, young and old folks and the young men hauling the wood up to make their dwellings. They were remarkable people. Congrats on your one year anniversary. As always a great video and exploration.

Happy 1yr. Anniversary!You have accomplished alot. You have accrued a great many followers, and should be proud. You are a self taught historian, an archaelogist and a story teller , you're gracious and humble and we all get to live a little vicariously through you. You have alot to teach people and you lead by example, which is so important so that other people who are interested, do not take, or steal, not even a pottery shard, or an arrow head, from these ancient archaeological sites, you make sure people know the proper etiquette when visiting, so they know not to camp near or in a site, so that it may be preserved so that people can continue to enjoy and protect so many of these known and unknown sites. Ive shared your channel with my sons, and they have shown ur channel to their friends, and so on ,and I would urge your other viewers to share as well. Keep on keeping on, sir. Your doing a tremendous service so that the indigenous people that once roamed this land, when it was wild and free, have a proper history told and not forgotten. ❤️🌎

[@ObamAmerican48]

Congratulations, Andrew! 🎉😊 It's a challenge to comprehend how people lived 100s or 1000s of years ago...why they lived the way they did and the choices they made to live there. They lived in harmony and symmetry with the rocks, trees, and streams. We can't fathom their choices, but we can appreciate and respect their ingenuity and dignity.

[@scout06171]

Come on, be real. If they lived in Harmony they wouldn’t have exhausted their resources and left. They also didn’t practice “leave no trace”. They also didn’t have a choice where they lived. They were limited to places with water and enough fertile ground to farm. Plus they needed a lot of animals to kill to feed themselves. Heck, we cherish their efforts to deface nature. 🤣 The truth is that they did the best they could with what they had. They lived extremely difficult, short and violent lives. They made war upon other groups who violated what they thought of as their hunting territory and they took slaves and raped the captured women to replenish their bloodlines. In very difficult times most of these groups resorted to cannibalism according to the archeological evidence. Ever wonder why we don’t find many Native American skeletal remains? My ancestors were the Powhatan Confederacy and we were wiped off the face of the earth by the Iroquois. To understand the Native American you first have to get rid of all that rubbish about how perfect and peaceful their existence was. There’s a reason they built their dwelling high up on cliffs that were almost impossible to get to.

Age has robbed me of the ability and opportunity to see them again personally. You allow me to do so again. Be certain that you share these moments with those that you love.

[@leighellington21]

That's one of the most stunning locations. I wasn't aware that it was open to the public. It is public land. But it holds a special.place in the realm of what it contains. The countless sites withing the range, many absolutely insane in their testament to the climbing skills of these ancient peoples. Truly are incredible! One can't help but assume it was more a life fraught with struggle and life threatening feats of climbing to inaccessible locations absolutely inaccessible come sunset and even in broad daylight only the most intrepid and daring would dain to attempt, unless the threats were far more severe than to not even attempt them to begin with! Thank you as always for taking us along for the absolute thrill and the unparalleled experience to witness it all!

@jimbe: I could understand it if there was a limit on how many days and the number of persons in the group just to keep from getting anything destroyed. That's about all I can figure out logically.

You do an amazing job! Crazy only 1 year with all of the quality content! You actually reach the destination every episode! This is like 6099 years of Oak Island! Thank You!!!

Beautiful video, and thank you for being respectful when putting the artifacts back down. That is true class.

Congrats on one year! Woo hop! I started watching you a year ago but your videos were so good I didn't realize your channel was that new. I've told you before, you were my favorite desert videographer, still are. This was truly one of the most beautiful places I've seen you go. What I wouldn't give to be able to go with you on one of these hikes.

I had no idea you channel was so young... I must have one of your early subscribers ... Happy Anniversary! Keep up the excellent content ! Maybe some dinosaur sites or get into the giant people that lived in North America pre history... Even Lincoln had interest in the Giants and talked out about them. Or maybe Egyptians in the grand cannon... . Good luck in everything!

One year? And you've shown us so much! I loved the time I got to spend in the SW desert. I miss it there. The hunt for ruins and rock art was so much fun! The best time of my life. The speculations you share are similar to my own. Thank you for not sharing locations! I'm so happy to go on adventures with you! Please keep making videos. And no more falling! Gosh!!
