Cliff Dwellings Of The Sierra Ancha: The Main Pueblo (part 2 of 3) | Aquachigger

[@leenielsen7928]

Your very best video by far! I watch this once or twice a year. I am an easterner, but have a "romantic" love for the west. Going by yourself and whispering adds so much to the charm. Thanks so much.

[@aquachigger]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@jennasleepdream]

I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Im a unemployed british girl who's passport ran out in 2004 and you have provided me with the most fun little expeditions and treasure hunts. You help my wonderlust for travel at a time when im unable to afford to explore. Every single instalment from Aquachigger makes me smile and think "One day i will go there,see that and experience it all in person" You make my day, day after day. Thank you again and Hold Your Breath lol Xx

[@drhambone1598]

chig and wonderhussy always providing great historical exploration entertainment

[@Katenpie]

Beau, thank you for taking me along on your journey. It was always my dream to visit these cliff dwellings. I'm a disabled vet and at 51 am now on a walker to prevent further falls so my dream has slipped away. But through you I feel I'm almost there.

[@lessismore6062]

I visited Mesa Verde with my parents when I was a kid. My impression back then was it's just a bunch of rocks. As my love for history grew I became obcessed with history of the ancients. Thank you so much for this series! I greatly enjoyed it!

[@sparkpresentmax]

Thanks for clear speech. It's always easy to hear every word you say, as Im not a native English speaker, that means a lot for me.

[@rrhodes4433]

I just want to thank you for taking me on this amazing journey with you Chig. I am disabled and there is no way for me to go explore the world like you do. When you go to these places its like im there with you the way you explain things and the awesome video images you get. So, thank you so much for this!!

[@stratocaster1greg]

Chigg these are fascinating. Thanks for doing this. I will watch these several times. God Bless Us All.

[@nancyphillips7558]

Amazing, the people were able to build a home that has truly lasted through the years. The bonus being, I think, they didn't destroy the beauty of nature as sadly, we have done. I love these videos's allowing those of us who can't get around well enough anymore, to be able to enjoy nature as it was meant to be. I love your channel. Thank you for making these!

[@aatuvaan7563]

Watching this 'Pueblo trilogy' again. This is so mesmerizing stuff i never get tired of it. I my opinion probably the best stuff you have uploaded in youtube!

[@justtodd1969]

Like a modern day Indiana Jones..lol. My folks took me out west as a teenager and I've wanted to go back ever since. Thank you for taking the time to share so much with all of us. Love your channel!

[@gmpugh7606]

This is not only your best video but one of the best on all of utube in my opinion . This is just as good as it gets.

[@anndodds8781]

Wow! ! absolutely amazing. I bet those woman made beautiful woven mats and blankets for their families.

[@doverdiane]

This is just amazing. The talent, creativity and thought that went into creating these amazing cliff dwellings is hard to imagine. How they could move those huge rocks up there is hard to picture. Another piece of history that I wouldn't have read about as living.in Canada you don't just think to research these areas unless your heading there. Thanks for sharing.

[@sandiscuriousthings]

I love your videos like this! You go places I've always wanted to visit and you see things in depth the way I would want to, not just in passing so that I'm actually seeing what I'm wanting to see and learning what I want to learn! Thank you for that!

[@Jason_Phillips3679]

History lessons with The Chigg! I love it! I am so fascinated with old historic ruins..

[@Uniquelyyours1]

So very cool, Beau. Thank you so much for taking us along. What an experience:)

[@TomFromMN]

This may have been from a few years ago, but there is always something for me to learn from Aquachigger. Incredible video. Thank you.

[@nobodyatall9946]

Phenomenal video Chigg! I didn't even know our land had this history still in existence. I love it. Thank you so much for bringing us along. Can't wait for the next video!

[@sarajane_75]

Thank you for taking me on this journey; something I most likely won't ever see. Love the history lesson and exploring!

[@wilkiepup1]

Okay, dogs went nuts over the coyote again!! Lol! This series is so great. You are a good teacher too. So cool to think that you fit your hand into another humans handprint from so long ago.

[@jasonandhillary]

Marilyn Wilkie lol mine too

[@edsmetaldetecting31]

By far the best video yet!! Awesome

[@treasuretrackertim3742]

I enjoy your respect for Archaeological sites. It is so important to destroy as little as possible when researching. You are also well informed Aquachigger. Great video. Better than National Geographic.You got me hooked.

[@bo49685]

I sure hope you have more video of this area coming....man I DID NOT want these videos to end. Those, for me were probably the videos I have enjoyed the most and that is saying LOT because you have made some truly AMAZING videos. Thank you so so much for sharing those. I sure wish you would come to Northern Michigan, I would drive anywhere to meet up with you😊

[@candysantillo3325]

mark Bohamed my thoughts,exactly!

[@moetivateme]

I waited for this video to come online! So excited! Mr. Chiggels keep up the good work.

[@deadeye7667]

so hard to believe that all that was done by hand it blows the mind again thanx for showing us chigg

[@peterdorninbalance]

Nobody builds such elaborate, hard-to-reach dwellings in seclusion without a valid reason. It is difficult to imagine that people lived there permanently. When in the early Middle Ages in Occitania, today's southern France, the Cathar community was persecuted and opposed by the inquisition of the Catholic Church, people also withdrew to fortified cave settlements. There were also difficult to access and impregnable hilltop settlements that were only permanently inhabited in times of need, as they were dependent on outside supplies. Both the hill settlements and the caves were also religious sites, so that ceremonial reasons could also play a role. Thank you for these extraordinary impressions of a breathtaking landscape, its treasures and secrets. It is always a great pleasure for me to be able to accompany you on your excursions from afar.

[@curezilla]

Incredible video Chigg!! I love the variety of vids you post. They are all entertaining, educational, and humorous! Hopefully your travels bring you close to me sometime, and I can go on a hunt or just bring some refreshments! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@samilt13]

The scenery is breath taking. Those dwellings took along time to build and difficult.

[@shawnlanphere3978]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful exploration. Because of your narrative, I feel like I was there with you. : )

[@faqsmarm3207]

I know this is about two year too late, but this is my favorite series of yours. I have been watching your videos about about 5 years now and have to say, you're amazing at what you do and your videos are one of a kind. Its like watching the old Nat Geo without all the bullshit!!!

[@crazyhorseaz5224]

Thanks man it's great to see you appreciate our history and respect the dwellings. You are a good man and I love your enthusiasm, not just for this area away from your own area,, but even on your own area.

[@shortyyy4321]

Such a pleasure to watch each and every one of your videos. You only talk when necessary and are always informative and insightful. Very peaceful content. Thank you, as i very much enjoy viewing these moments youve captured

[@shortyyy4321]

I love people like you

[@tomsmith5881]

I watch all your videos new and old these are by far the most enjoyable to me I bought a metal detector as I was inspired by your video I bought the same that you use the Mac Pro I enjoy detecting I’m 71and feel like a kid with the treasure I find thanks

[@candysantillo3325]

I'm generally a patient person but must admit I had trouble waiting for this one.Thanking you in advance.💝

[@noluv4u100]

Yey I'm so excited to watch this I've been waiting all day on the edge of my seat for it!!I love your work Aquachigger, I'm addicted to your videos! And your personality!!

[@candysantillo3325]

andrea lewis me,too!

[@williamna5800]

I think this is one of your most interesting videos, very nice work. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos up.

[@lavenderrose22h55]

That was awesome thanks can't wait part 3 just amazing to still be able to go into them

[@cat441]

really enjoying this video, and thank you, I'm not able to hike any longer and so would never be able to get there. I love that you show everything, share what you know about it, and include 'close ups' even into the cracks and crannies... just like I would look IF I were there. I really appreciate you taking us along. Looking forward to the next part.

[@greywolfcreations5121]

The "too round" hole in the ceiling beam may well be a core sample taken in order to date the age of the tree (Dendrochronology). This has been standard practice at Chaco Canyon, Mesa Verde, etc.

[@chalkhills1569]

Holy Bobbins! I caught a fresh, new upload. Keep up the good work Chigg. I love watching your adventures from across the pond.

[@RetroRobbin59]

Thank you for taking us with you! I miss all your exploration videos, so it was really nice to come across this one from so long ago. What a beautiful place, seems like a good area to wait out the apocalypse. 😅

[@jde9095]

Absolutely an amazing adventure, looking forward to part 3. Would not complain if there is a part 4,5,6. Thanks for sharing.

[@bobnichols2356]

Look at a video of Chaco Canyon. Same type of masonry, same openings with a T shape, same corner doors, and the rounded room at this location resembles a Chaco Kiva.

[@TUSSCANNY]

Are you a teacher? I love your videos so much. I. can't even tell you how much. I've missed so much in life in my old old age and you've share such beauty with all of us. Can't thank you enough. Granny fan

[@candysantillo3325]

GRANNY TG TG GRANNY Me,also

[@oigeeeni]

You are my favorite channel. Always interesting.

[@Seahorse1414]

Seeing someone today placing their fingers in the marks a person made many centuries ago just gives me goosebumps , it is truly stretching out your hand to touch another...time travel !

[@tuxedoinn]

Love it! Thanks for taking me along!

[@sabrinafelber]

Thank you so much for this adventure. I am disabled and could not have done this myself but it was like I was right there beside you making it up a mountain to see it too.

[@WHUFC71]

Absolutely incredible! I wish I had the means to explore the way you do. I'm British and live in Florida and love history especially Native American history. I did buy a metal detector after watching you and Nuggetnogin. Next is the magnet although locating one is difficult! can't wait until the next instalment. stay safe.

[@coltonzack8714]

love your channel man use to live in new Mexico when I was younger going to these sites and my dads bestfriend like my uncles pow wows even though I'm white and it's not my culture I still feel spiritually connected to it growing up around it seeing this gave me pure joy makes me wanna move back to new mexico to go back and study the sites and culture and people more true joy to my heart!

[@davidvanderwel4669]

aguachigger thank you for taking us with you on your trips

[@smithk6977]

[@frankrice5364]

Again I say georgous vedio love history thank you for taking the time to share and we know how much time it takes

[@Katseye102]

Places like this are ALWAYS worth exploring! Where else are you going to get hands on the history of the Native Americans? Doing things like this! Thanks Chig!

[@22nola]

Thanks. I loved the video. I enjoy trying to picture how they overcame life challenges.

[@SandTguy]

I can not even imagine how they were able to build and carry all of what they had to have to build. By all accounts a fortress like that so for up in the what I would call the bad lands A.K.A very dangerous territory. Amazing in my book.Great video.

[@phillivingston8237]

I appreciate this second video; quite a lot to take in. Thank you for sharing.

[@rayrowe2664]

KUDOS OUT TO YOU MY FRIEND TO HAVE THE STRENGTH TO BRING US THIS FANTASTIC VIDEO SERIES

[@TNgrandee3]

Can't wait for part 3. I so enjoy getting to go to these wondrous places through videos from explorers like yourself. And Bear Grylls has nothing on you.:)

[@patchingmagic]

I've always thought the people who lived in those homes were doing so for protection, yet the more you talked the more the other reasons made a great deal of sense, its beautiful and the location more ambient.

[@cherylmatthews7172]

Aquachigger thank you so much for these videos. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the next one. The hike and seeing these structures is just like being there. It would be so cool to hike this one day. but I'm not to sure if I can because of my knees too give me problems. But your videos are just like being there. Thank you.

[@GoldenEagleTuH]

Great video as always, love to see the history of your country. I can not wait for the next part.

[@tracybradshaw1362]

[@courtneyhall7140]

such a informative video,keep up the great work make no mistake,you are appreciatated.

[@carlcantrell4781]

The Mogollon (Mo-gee-yon) and Anasazi Indians lived in that area until about 1,200 years ago when the Apaches, Navajos, and Comanches moved in and killed most of them off. Some managed to survive by moving into big pueblos with larger tribes near rivers but most were kill. The ranchers finding the Indian belongings in place tell me the Indians were probably ambushed below and killed, probably taking their food and anything they had with them but the raiding Indians never found the cliff dwellings.

[@ZeldaRosenthal]

Thanks for the great explanation! 😁

[@Marlonscrazy]

This is absolutely amazing!! I stumbled upon a dwelling similar to this that hadn't been explored and there was no trails leading to it.

[@matthewwilliams8220]

Aqua-yapper! I love love love your videos. You are a wealth of knowledge, you have a personality that makes you super easy to love and listen to. Great fucking videos...there is nothing on television that even almost compares

[@stacywilliams1624]

It's staggering to think of how old those beams are. Touching fingerprints left hundreds ago is just amazing, the human connection.

[@lforand53]

So amazing...thanks for sharing 😃👍

[@billiefloyd7106]
