Fired Clay Artifacts and Portable Rock Art, Hunting the Creek

[@ikamtout]

Our creeks in Indiana have the same type of paleo artifacts! I kept seeing the same shapes over and over with warrior heads (side profiles with headdress), ape looking faces, mammoths, wolves, birds and big cats. I didn't see the images at first, but it clicked one day & now i see them in rocks everywhere on our property, not just the creek. Thanks for sharing!

[@everettwilliams6952]

I love the walking stick effigy u have

[@user-lw8tm4ls8f]

LOOOOVE listening to you! Most of the people I know think I'm crazy and just have a wild imagination. I have quite a large collection 😃

[@mikedooley7991]

Same exact hypothesis I came to. The creeks here in sw Virginia are full of these types of artifacts

[@skellingtonrecords]

Its nice to see my fellow rock hunters. Western Ky here. UNITY is the answer. I will soon be posting some videos that might change up the way we see these beautiful pieces of art so make sure you come by and check them out in a week. Love everyone, together we can create a new beautiful world. I will light the way. ❤

[@everettwilliams6952]

My favorite was the frog effigy

Keep on Keeping on finding them Stones my friend. I'm finding many human face Stones and Thunderbird Effigie Stones too, here n TN. I callem TN Mudd Stones.

[@ArmyHulk]

I have a crrek like this and have found so many face stones. All were qorked to some degree.

[@srf2112]

You are exactly right sir. To 'see' things you've never seen before is a skill that takes years to develop. Without that experience and without even being there the naysayers really are what you described them as .. no need for me to repeat it here. Nice work.

[@cas6892]

I have the exact same problem with a lot of the artifacts I have. They say its just a natural occurrence due to weathering and errosion. Rocks dont have repeated shapes nor does nature work stones!

[@RamblinJer]

For the last 40 years I've been making discoveries. When I say I know, I know! With eyes closed, I can tell a stone from an artifact. I know what stone it's made from,, how it was made, it's intended purpose, it's type, when made, and likely what region it originated. I've located more quarries, villages, camps and artifacts than most could dream. So much it'd make the Smithsonian blush and you stutter. So listen up, you think you know, but you haven't a clue what the difference between a rock and artifact is and you will never know with that attitude. Those are 100% not Native American stones with baked clay around them with surprise effigies inside. Only one possible way they'd have anything to do with Native Americans, and that's if they pissed on them. They're 100% fossils and nothing else and everything in those stones was dead long before they came along. You're making yourself look foolish and then showing yourself to be stupid as you insult and insist you're right and all are wrong.

[@angelahitt1244]

I found one of the two brain cells... @rambling jerk has one of them! It would impress me if you could tell me the definition of artifact... please do not say arrowhead airhead... say something a little smarter than what you know you know you know blah blah you sound like an idiot... that's all

[@jackinthebox507]

GOOD SPOT

ONCE YOU SEE IT YOU CANT UNSEE IT

[@evenodds8791]

The purple paint they use trips you out, the patterns change and whoever made this shit starts drawing in the dirt, grass, and waves around you. I’m not playing

[@mammothriders1325]

Hey Chris I'm a big fan my name is Brian I do carpentry work at the moment but, tile & stone at heart man, I have several favorites and trying figure out what degree way to mount them or a little stand or something that'll, Hold them/display. But do you have a personal collection with Mount maybe make a top 10 video.

[@aaronbaca]

You are spot on with everything, including the run off location. Thank you for what you do and I can't for the doc.

[@captainlurk9380]

I have no desire to hear their opinions on what is an artifact or not from main stream archeology /anthropology . It is their loss if they discount the ancient people as all business and no art . It's pathetic to deny the obvious art . They didn't have any other entertainment , so that's what they did for fun was carve rocks into things . Yes the tools are fun to find , but the art is even more fun to find especially when it's some sort of extinct animal . They are speaking to us from thousands of years ago . Why not listen?

[@cas6892]

I have a piece that looks like a bullet... no joke! I also had a rock carved with a half portrait of a Triceratops!

[@srf2112]

I have found 2 of what I believe to be portable rock art frog effigies. One is almost undeniably a frog effigy out of a green rock that looks very similar to a frogs coloring. The live frog in your video appears to be 'sitting' on a worked stone that looks to me like it could be another frog type effigy.

[@day-goneknights4464]

I saw that right away too... many frog shaped rocks like that. I highly doubt these are carvings though . Toi many similar shapes with huge variety of textures and colors. Also many rocks are smashed things together. Like snakes or snake shapes, or sheet grained rocks are smashed flattened birds, including beaks claws and feathers. Also, 3d movie sets dan be seen in rocks. And the crystals. Are often shaped No. Look closer and dragon bone is top 3d quality So, I'm going with the earth is a 3d printer. No way were these carved by a campfire. Glad to know someone else noticed the frog shaped right away. And glad to know others are looking, but look closer. The faces are infinite.

[@adamjohnson9150]

I see em too. I got tons of them. From Michigan too. Are you from there?

[@Adam-qz3wh]

I've got a two faces and a bird axe/grinder from SE Michigan!

[@stephissteph1359]

The “mammoth” motif…I have some of those, have always thought they were Cardinal (bird) head profiles (central Tx, Cardinals everywhere here). When you outlined the photo, I could see the mammoth 🦣. Coolest part about PRA is the element of surprise. No matter how convincing an image can be, it can change with perspective.

[@-CBA-]

the effigies stack to make totems

[@dannyhaynes1338]

Thanks for the info I'm finding the same fired clay objects here in Tennessee . Have you found any info since this video that u could share ? Question I'm finding owls and birds incised own most all off the artifacts and some even have pictographs are you finds the same any info would be greatly appreciated

[@michelletruelove7783]

Cool stuff

[@pvlamb]

I have made some amazing artifacts in Kentucky, many with baked clay. Mastodons, gorillas, birds and the face profile that all look remarkably similar with large nose, prominent chin and headdress.

[@FacesintheStone]

Someone is catching on! Look at Ancient Celtic. There’s some kind of Phoenician connection. I just uncovered a huge site in North Carolina.

[@SkinnyVinnyLive]

Dude I have it too…I can’t even pronounce it lol

[@user-yd8zb1xp2i]

I must agree with you Chris. I live near Ocmulgee(less than 5 miles).I find rock that I have no idea what it is or who too ask. Many are religious effigy’s where the animal is consuming the human or transiting into the human. Anyway your right.

[@EvanRobinson85]

All rocks... sigh.

[@bellawonderlandkellihoosac5925]

[@williamlake6151]

I found two bear heads applied to a rock and of course archeologist reject it as authentic

[@keithlear44]

Are you kidding me

[@jaypercival431]

He's serious.

[@dsc7772]

love the title because ive found some that blew my mind ,been trying to think how could it of been made ,but yeah they had abilities to fire it ,thanks aloha DC777 DSC777

[@dsc7772]

and its here in hawaii too !!! prehistoric art maybe something older .lol.

[@williamlake6151]

Find micro elephants on quartz rocks. Theses rocks are coming out of banks with many native artifacts. Thousands of years are combined if extinction dates are correct

[@edwinbrashear7729]

Don't be misled by all this, so wrong.

[@carriestottlemyer1200]

I have a very large n even more detailed , then the ones your showing

[@michelletruelove7783]

I have w ton like these

[@lauragrace9818]

what r u smokin

[@rosannelake239]

I love hunting artifacts effigy and pocket art

[@day-goneknights4464]

Thank you. I am going to be long winded but please read as I have held this info tight due to family, friends, professors nd former collegues who are not only not interested but become irritated and snide to this topic Apostles are chosen by Gods to learn certain subjects, the folk affiliated with this you tube channel are apostles of rock details just like I am,therefore we can see in rocks what others canmot due to our apostle tag. Now I don't know how the term portable got applied. Nor do I immediately default to ancient man as the artist....we don't know. I find such portable rocks to be so sophisticated and complex that it transcends our knowledge. Have you noticed intertwined snake heads, jaws open, with coagulated blood creating red colored portions ? ( Blood and bone id living animals, when heated, make for great petrification).Or have you noticedindividual crystals that are etched faces? Or looking within rock pores and seeing 3d cave scenes? Or have you noticed thousands of flattened and smashed birds in sheet like rock structures?..and then breaking that rock and it fractals into smaller exactly shaped birds? Or have you seen petrified slime mold networks?.. and many other features within rocks I've seen huge rocks that are elephants with crocodiles biting their trunks. I have looked at rock outcroppings, taken many photos for later observation. In one case after studying photos of an outcrop II created a detailed story of what I thought I saw in the rocks, and yes I felt a bit crazy. But when I looked up mole rats, because that is one thing I saw in photos, it brought me to a video game called , " Fallout& wasteland, attack of the mole rats....here I was astounded to discover that the story that I created from photos of rocks was in fact this video game. I discussed the game content with my son's friend as he was an avid player he asked how I knew so much about the game, I said that I learned it all from rocks. I mean how can one see a ghoul with a laser gun in a photo of a rock only to see that exact gouhl in a highly popular video game? So these are beyond art carvings. Oh yes, and finally, I noticed similar signatures in almost every rock. This somehow brought me to prototaxites stelliviatori. A bizarre story there as well, which includes the star trek video game that uses the spores of prototaxites stelliviatori to travel through portals to any universe via the mycelliall network. I got stelliviatori to I therefore think this portable rock art goes way deeper than what you have described . A magnifying glass and a relaxed pair of eyes can transport one to 3d realms within the rocks. Often a waxy substance creates what I'll call a snow globe affect.which creates a 3d image. Have you seent the same shape rock at 3" or 50?...how is that possible? So there must be casting molds or computer programmed 3d printers involved. I do not claim to know the process but I do know that geology is B.S. When I graduated my geology studies left me baffled...I just couldn't fit a landscape to a convoluted theory. But now, in my retirement, I now know that this planet is not what we have been lead to believe. It is way more magical and I/ we have a privaledge I saw all the faces you mentioned, easily. , but what I have come to realize is that the reason some folk see their own things in rocks is that they are looking at a different angle, and since these rocks show infinite images they are indeed seeing a different image . Sorry for blabbing, but it's hard to articulate so many epiphanies.

[@Amy_Penney1234]

As usual, great video, Chris! Found some exceptional artifacts…and documented them very well. Super informative.

[@slapshot1x]

Thanks

[@chadr.cutler2790]

Amy Penney. Guessing you have a personal connect to Chris? Stupid Q! Say I'm in SE Iowa and my story starting in Fall2010 resonates with Chris's to a scary degree. It was a fire kilned bird last June that just totally broke the freakin dam wide open. So much art out here. I want in!!! Your orb! I need help with this stuff. Please

[@justinhart130]

I've found the same clay artifacts some better I keep saying they are some kind of baked mold NO points found with them some I think early early axes axe heads but the egffies I have found are unreal Man from Texas

[@slapshot1x]

@@justinhart130Cool.... This is just one visit. Last year I found some incredible fired clay/rock artifacts including a true late archaic birdstone. It’s all over in this area.

[@slapshot1x]

@@chadr.cutler2790 Hey Chad...Tons of this stuff in west Michigan. Some of it is pretty amazing but most very crude. Its hard to pin point who made it as there are generally artifacts mixed in from many eras. However, based upon the projectile points found close in proximity I think the clay objects were made during the middle to late archaic era. Occasionally, if I remove some of the clay-a figure will emerge and I have found some extremely awesome artifacts hidden in the clay. Hit me up on Facebook if you have any questions.

[@ginahobbs3995]

you can't let them get to you. only a few are given the gift to see what's on them .i know that you just want to share the awesomeness that you see in them , but ,that isn't what you should do. it's ok to show others ,but you need to let them figure out what's on them. if you tell them what you see ,then they won't qualify to receive the gift .they can only get it if they care about the people that made them, and respect the same things ,as you seem to do. i know exactly how people are sometimes just because they can't see anything ,just feel sad for them and keep enjoying this gift ,and be happy. try just showing them , but not explaining them .maybe play some native drumming in the background. peace and love to you.

Thank you Gina.:)

[@robintaylor1266]

Yes thank you .

[@stephissteph1359]

I personally have a background in fine details, measurements, color…art. I was a picture framer and designer of custom art framing for over 20 years. I’ve also been a nature lover forever, an observer, very open minded. Always loved finding shapes in clouds, etc.. I attribute my ability to see the art and shapes on these rocks to my background. But, could also just be I’m a lucky recipient of the gift to see what’s there.

[@FacesintheStone]

Right when you said what someone should do is when I stopped reading. You never tell anyone what they should do, you could say could… Just understand that it is important to people that we share this knowledge with as many as we can. We are each on our own individual journeys, and respect - above all as what we need to keep in the forefront of our mind.

[@newenglandnativeamericanar106]

Nice finds Chris! Just ignore the close minded people. They don't understand that native americans only had 3 tools, fire, rock and wood. So what I would ask them is what is the tool supposed to look like?

[@kevinwchapeljr6460]
