Finding ANCIENT CORN - Arizona Cliff Dwellings

November 1st, 2023: "Cavates" - or hand-carved caves - are a common form of ancient dwelling you will find in central Arizona's Verde Valley. In this video, I explore some Indian cavates in Camp Verde and identify pottery shards and ancient cobs of corn.
There is a decent trail to the caves that starts at the McDonald Trailhead. It's conveniently located near a Dollar General.

I lived in that neighborhood by clear creek ober 30 years ago, it's called Verde Lakes. You missed a lot of mesa top ruins on top, The holes in the floor of the room are from looters, every room had stone lined holes or vaults carved in the floor that they kept things in. I found hundreds of pieces of turquoise and turquoise & shell beads on the side of those hills that washed down from the cavettes over the centuries. Made some things out of them for my daughters who are of Yavapai Apache/Puebloan descent and likely Sinagua too who were likely the people who created these caves. I donated the rest of the Turquoise i didnt use and other artifacts i found to Verde Valley Archeo Society. The bottom lands down by the river were heavily farmed by the Sinagua. When they chewed up the land to make all the new neighborhoods there were artifacts everywhere stone tools, pottery & especially metates and manos for processing corn and seeds. I even found some pieces of broken Spanish crockery that dated close to 400- 500 years ago. Interesting place, Can't believe there is a dollar general store there now the development looks 10x the size of what it was when i lived there. A lot of dog crap on the trail from dog walkers

Thank you for this video. These rock shelters or caves as we see from 5 min 30 sec were a natural hiding spot during very bad weather conditions but also a surviving place during the most dramatic event in the history of mankind. That is the crossing of planet 9 that occurs every few thousand years. That planet 9 is orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit so it crosses close to our sun at a very high speed. Due to the gravitational force it causes a huge tidal wave, storms, rains, flooding and earthquakes in unprecedented amounts and a bombardment of fiery meteors. Only people who are in a shelter with a very strong roof, a mountain above your head will do, survive this disaster. In those caves they recorded messages for us. That they were human, many, by printing the hands. A spiral is the first sign of the approaching planet. A square cross is a closer planet and hands up means that they are frightened. That planet is sometimes presented as an agressive animal with big teeth. The event occurs in seven days. Another result of the cycle of disasters is a cycle of civilizations. They emerge and vanish according to a fixed schedule. This is ancient knowledge that is available for everyone who is searching for it but that is forgotten, neglected or denied by all scientists. To learn much more about planet 9, the recurring flood cycle and its timeline, the rebirth of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". This book answers many of your questions about ancient history. It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: planet 9 roest

It’s good you are thin! The dwelling is narrow
