I found Colossal, Impossible Geometry with Desert Drifter

An incredible coincidence resulted in Desert Drifter and I standing atop a mysterious and gargantuan block of stone in the middle of a forest.
This thing had many secrets, but one stands out above all else. The history of this block, truly is puzzling.
Had I not seen it with my own two eyes, I might not have believed it was real.

Hello everyone. I had a lot of technical problems with the initial upload of this video. Sincere apologies for the delay in posts. I think I am good at the whole exploring and finding things part of this job- the editing process, not so much. It can be a real challenge. Im trying to optimize this to reduce the gap between videos. Either way, thanks a million for watching - POV

[@OldFatAndAlone]

I love your videos and your absolutely gorgeous video shots. Both of you are the inspiration for me as I made my channel to get back into shape to do the kinds of long hikes you guys do. Thank you for your work. Never stop inspiring, OFaA

[@Shift18]

I know it would probably be better for the algorithm if you put videos out faster, but as a viewer I gotta say that I don't mind when channels take time to put out videos, especially when they take a lot of work to go out and make. You'll always have your core audience no matter how long you take to post so just keep up the awesome work man!

[@ShannonDavis-eq4fj]

Where are they?? I'll ike what state

[@gkj8765]

Nothin but Love bro! You content is so valuable to all of us. Thank you!!!

[@jeremiemekerke5637]

I hope you see the amount of similar but smaller debris around your location a lot of them also having incredible flat surfaces, some are half burried, it just looking like something so massive got destroyed with a huge debris field. Something like the remains of a great civilisation that would not fit our current narative. One of the few remains of the result of the cataclysmic great flood, thanks for sharing

[@shoarmadad5307]

I love how you don't use music to fill up the parts where "nothing" is happening. Please don't ever change that.

[@thedude8046]

Very calming 😌

[@MBSfilms77]

i was just about to say that he should put music XD

[@frostbyte101]

Seconded!!! Let us listen to what you actually heard.

[@eddiemaloney4404]

maybe he could add more sound effects, the current one are nice but things do feel to drone on just a bit sometimes, especially with how consistent his story voice is it would be nice for some subtle noises.

[@justincavinder5504]

Heck yeah, so tired of music being shoehorned in absolutely everywhere

[@Desert.Drifter]

Great vid! What a good time it was. And for everyone thinking the story of Nolan and I both planning to film this separately (unbeknownst to eachother) is only a story, it is 100% true. I guess it was just meant to be 😂

[@TheSSoSS]

overjoyed to see this collab combo, have been secretly wishing for it, so glad - and at such an epic place, I hope you all team up more and make full movies of awsome! thanks to you all! keep safe and keep exploring ! x

[@shirleygilchrest2187]

What a wonderful surprise Collab! And seeing Mrs Desert Drifter was just a bonus!

[@coolbaj]

The story of the collab makes this even cooler! y'all are basically the two channels I watch about rocks 🤠🥸

[@quinonesdeserie8679]

Love seeing Andrew of Desert Drifter in this video with you!!

[@Ken-gz5mo]

My two favourite explorer channels! Happy to see you doing a video together.

[@cwicker454]

Often thought they would be a great pair, but knowing it wasn't possible. I let that thought go. Who knew it would work out like this? wonderful, my two favorite (and only two) desert explorers, reminding me how I was when stationed at DM AFB in Tuscon, AZ in 1978-1981.

[@peatmoss4415]

Nolan, Chewy, Andrew and Evelyn...! What an unexpected and enjoyable collaboration..! I think I left a better comment on the 1st video, but either way Nolan, your quad copter piloting skills and aerial photography is the frosting on this dessert..!

[@KyliWallsArtwork]

I audibly gasped when I saw you two collabed. So stoked!!!

[@capnsheevus4857]

the collab I didn't know I needed. opening intro gave me chills, kept me for the duration. bravo

[@pdjinne65]

Next time bring in the adventure twins for cave exploration! Pretty cool stuff, and thank you for not immediately jumping to ancient aliens conclusions!

[@alicer7271]

Dude, I know you camped in a lot of cool spots before. But that must have been one of the absolute coolest places ever to set up your tent.

[@MohammadKhan-lv5vz]

earth was just learning how to use the square cube law in math class

[@larsstougaard7097]

Ha ha 😅

[@rcordiner]

Rotate it back through 90° and the top of it would have been the back of it where it split off. The uneven side with the vegetation was it's base. The rough front was the top and the horizontal ridges would have been vertical and are evidence of water penetration. Cycles of ice expansion would have caused the split.

[@susanvaughan4210]

That makes a lot of sense.

[@christopherhovord3516]

am i losing my mind? didn't this get uploaded the other day?

[@diegoace12]

Yes, he uploaded it but someone deleted the video

[@the_pov_channel]

Yep. You are not losing your mind. The original version somehow lost the first 20 minutes after I uploaded it. Don’t know what happened but I had to re upload a new version.

[@maloryboswell2725]

I remember a similar video I think of a big ass cube rock

[@Mr_Friendly_B]

@@the_pov_channel Hi, can you tell us if this new version is shorter than the first one? Thanks.

[@Sampli-hi]

I think it’s fairly obvious to me at least that this block was just carried down (possibly by glacier) from the cliffs above and behind it. still a massive feat that it stayed in one large piece like that. The cave is probably a sink hole from many years of glacial melt under/around the rock

[@Nomicakes]

At last, someone here that didn't immediately jump to aliens or ancient civilizations. A material structure like that isn't magical or alien, and corners and flat lines are more common in geological formations than you'd expect, and you're honestly spot on about the cave.

[@robins3352]

Ah come on - Its Aliens with unknown technology... absolute proof 100%... I mean its as good as finding a space ship!

[@ytmadpoo]

That was my first impression. It slid gradually (glacially pushed like you mentioned) on the side that is now facing uphill. At some point it reached that edge, probably about the time the glacier receded, and it tipped down into its current position. So the one side we see is pretty worn flat. As for the other sides, it may have been part of a larger chunk that fractured and those other sides moved along independently, wearing the other sides flatter. Somewhere further up/down slope there may be remnants of the other surfaces that this "cube" slid against, or they may have broken into smaller chunks/eroded by now, but still pretty cool to see.

[@Dtchmastrkilla7]

Falling Block in Wyoming. "Believe it or not, Falling Rock in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains is a giant 75-foot square boulder that is all natural. No human or alien influences shaped this huge cube."

[@cerberus6654]

Nolan, it's a Borg vessel.

[@EnforcementDronEd209]

Petrified 🖖👽👍

[@saddlelac]

Wow. Thanks guys. Awesome episode. My two favourite adventurers!

[@MrVegas-vm2kp]

@ 3:46 .... 😮 Very happy you had the common sense,to keep your pup harnessed... Those Elk would have stomped it to death... With that amount of yearlings.... Elk will stomp a grown man to death ! ... Great content, love the natural audibles as well ..... Love the DD duo 😁... I'm a " PATREON " in their channel 😁 .... I'm going to follow you as well .... Be safe 🇺🇸 🥾

[@Ivantheterrible495]

This must be The Cube from Transformers

[@nancyparker8363]

With the drone, it looked like a rock quarry debris field!?

[@gregkerr725]

Trek Planner says no freaking way bro! Good thing about the Trek Planner though is that he goes to places which are more accessible by car, and a reasonable hike, for us folks too old or too out of shape to do what you and the Drifter do! Love your dog man...take care of him!

[@thybreadstick101]

YOOOOO i watch you both , and always thought, what if you guys bumped into each other in the Desert in the middle of no where , but here we are collabing ... Love you both :)

[@cwicker454]

Yes, yes, yes!

[@Eco-VillePatagoniaChile]

Mine craft for the giants hehe.

[@fourbandits]

Awesome video, beautifully shot, but I have a small bone to pick. At 13:25 you said that "What I don't understand is how.... it came to exist in the middle of a forest." But at 13:44 I'm looking up and behind you and there are three almost identical blocks on the cliff above. The explanation was right there.

[@deborahm6036]

As exhilarating and this video is thought-provoking. Love this epic adventure pairing with Desert Drifter and Evelyn. Thank you so much for taking us along.

[@TheOnlyKontrol]

Masterpiece of a video glad it’s up again

[@bluwtrgypsy]

Amazingly magical, mystical place. Incredible video. So great to see you with Andrew. Stay safe.

[@Howard-bj1jq]

I agree with you that the rock is a natural feature. It was not shaped or moved by man!

[@makecutlerygreatagain1884]

Awesome yall did this one together!!

[@nheffel2]

It’s quite obvious that block sheared off the high cliffs above it. It has not eroded and rounded off yet. In the video you can see several smaller cubicle boulders below the cliff.

[@LMGphilanthropy]

Welcome back!

[@lolz.s]

2 of my favorite channels and creators! Hope you both do more collabs in the future!

[@jkdruid]

Best video yet!

[@maxym3823]

This is a place for thousands of years. It looks like a fortress made of rock. I don't think everything is natural here. The caves would have to be explored. Take better flashlights. I don't want to believe that this descent is natural. These two Formations at the top, hmm, the remains... Generally, where the cube is located, the area looks like someone blew it up. One can only guess what it was. One of the places that arouses curiosity and imagination 👍

[@Geregamo]

yeah, the hill full of debris made me think the cube was a part of an even larger structure but who knows

[@donaldbrown9437]

This is a really neat anomaly of nature! Thanks so much for bringing it to us with Desert Drifter! I follow both of you.

[@charlottegibson9992]

I think your amazing. I truly love to hear what you think. Thanks for another wonderful adventure.

[@user-sl5bh8kr8h]

A more accurate measure and easier is a 3 4 5 triangle for 90 degree corners 😉

[@EnforcementDronEd209]

Whatever this structure may have been looks like it was blown to smithereens.

[@dakotaiv]

You just keep adding the wow factor! Awesome adventure. Loved seeing you with Desert Drifter too.

[@elduderinolebowski3888]

I love desert drifter! Thanks for investigating gigantic pre-younger dryas/great flood megalithic sites. This was cut and moved y’all. No other section is as smooth as that block.

[@walterhat1638]

This episode was worth watching twice. Thanks!

[@ryantaccone6285]

I need a gf thats interested in this stuff

[@CentralCalPiper]

Wow! Those are some cool rock formations!

[@ismewhat1234]

Bro gets me nervous every time he's at the edge.

[@newworldsoldier81]

x2

[@garytull7730]

What a treat having these people (and dog) together. Hope this leads to other collaborations

[@SMMBHQ-cg2zy]

I guess I already watched Drews vid and was impressed with both of you , I'm very proud to be a viewer of you two, guys, looks like your looking for a lot more than Drew on this one and I;m glad were on the same page , are any of the blocks up on the cliff as big as this one , is it probable it fell from up there above it? Is the rippled side matched with any other separations in that area ? or is it unique to this one stone edifice . What you found underneath may be more intrigueing than the megalith itself, It appears that it goes and goes , It would be epic if you did a collab with ''Action Adventure Twins''' cave explorers on YT , my favorite . be good be safe

[@dmn3773]

Glad you didn’t venture down there! When I visited, a skunk had made the cave its home, and we also spotted a snake, though we couldn’t identify it. I agree with your take-it seems like a random geological quirk. If you explore the surrounding area, you'll notice other similarly shaped boulders. There’s definitely something unique about this place. Even though it's gained a bit of popularity over the years, I really hope it stays somewhat off the radar. Thanks for sharing the video!

[@jessebenpierce4977]

My two favorite desert trekkers! So great to see you guys collaborate!

[@jamesn.economou9922]

This place is fantastic! It is the best video of it, out there. I know, I have seen them all. I have different theories than the geologists on this one. the lack of fossil record in the big blocks is disturbing. the fact that the enormous structures, that you camped under, that are sitting isolated on top of the plateau, should not even be there. Iron deposits on the rocks, are curious too. What ever produced this place, it happened a really long time ago. Really good work here!!

[@walletracer9882]

Have you tried starting her up? The pioneers used to ride these babies for miles.

[@TinyBubbleExtreme]

at 2:48, isnt that a submerged structure on the bottom left?

[@tiorontoron7531]

this country is so immensely beautiful and people go their entire lives without even comprehending its beauty, thanks for sharing

[@therooster1234]

I don't think Indians would spend much time shaping large blocks. It wouldn't have occurred to them to do something like that. We have the benifit of seeing Easter Island or Egypt and understanding excavation and shaping the world to match our vision. I believe they thought mostly of practical things food and not freezing to death.

[@polkadots2823]

Such a stunning view

[@LeahMarie-111]

This is absolutely incredible. I have been hoping you too would collaborate. How neat is this!! Thank you boys for sharing!!

[@jasmineolivine]

No way you just found that fossil on the surface of a lil stream!

[@wolf359survivor2]

Great vid, Cousin. I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to stick my head under a ledge just to see what's under there. Fear of Snakes. Keep on Trekking, dude! Washington State?

[@billbradley2480]

Looking above the cube type rock I see several other right angles on the rock cliffs. I assume it broke off and landed down there.

[@laxdrew9]

That was a great adventure! Thoroughly enjoyed the collab from two of my favorites.

[@rallycrosscraig]

Amazing film great to see two of my favourite channels doing content together ( have been watching both channels for over a year and did once think how good it would be to see you do something together ) Watching with interest and enjoying ( from London). Look forward to more like this …

Maybe you guys should use Occam's razor...

[@sativothegrail461]

Is it Christmas already?

[@cynthiaconnor400]

You guys scare the heck out of me. I'm so afraid of heights. But love watching you guys do what you do.

[@williampacey9194]

As usual you have added another adventure to this old mans life. This one I had to look away a couple times as you walked the edge of the block. A little dizzy looking. Just me staring at my screen but still experiencing some physical and visual discomfort. Great drone video as usual. You never leave me wanting more. Thanks agin.

[@krisbandle3989]

I watch both channels and enjoyed this one!

[@PSS-MKR]

Incredible video.

[@mjokffsgfjs]

You will never find any secret service officer up there, with that incline.

[@SMMBHQ-cg2zy]

the thing you captured looked cryptic to me ,

[@JamesHawkeYouTube]

Extraordinary. Damn fine video work too guys. Makes me wonder.

[@YoungerDryas]

Thanks for reposting this video. I shared the original a few days ago on the FB "Younger Dryas" channel, and it disappeared!

[@Bethabara9]

okay, I wasnt afraid of heights UNTIL this video, ha ha. Y'all scaring me to death!

[@angeldreams2713]

Me too. I was hanging on to my seat! Lol

[@kristymanning987]

That really was quite amazing, thank you!❤

[@shirleygilchrest2187]

Cool collab!! What a fascinating place.

[@Starman261A]

Very cool. My guess is either Northeastern Arizona or Colorado. Beautiful land. I saw a video where someplace in Siberia has geometric stone like this. Fascinating.

[@UnderControlofSoma]

My 2 favorite adventurers together on the same video? Shit I know I'm dreaming LOL awesome to see you and Andrew, hope to see more of this from y'all!

[@descai10]

9:12 just two dudes on a giant cube in the wilderness

[@marthazan9732]

OK, acrophobia by proxy. Fascinating video, thanks, also thanks I will never do that.

[@DavidMcFarner]

Yeah, that was tough for me too.

[@AugnierCalyenin]

There seems to be more blocks on top of the mountain, not sure though, could be that the ones at the bottom fell from the top. I remember there was another site that had these types of blocks

[@OkieDokie680]

Just watching you get so close to the edge makes my heart race. So scary!

[@coolbaj]

Dude my mind is blown. One of your best adventures! The monolith clearly fell off that cliff and the finished stone clearly looks worked on since. Wildly cool stuff. The complex at the end with the oyster mushroom rock looks like a sacred space. It is such unique topography from the drone. All those rolling hills and then this cluster of massive limestone arranged in such a way. Wow really makes me wonder about our ancient past. So good, love you POV💙

[@xxPROMETHEUSxx1.]

At 2:30, it looks like some block work there on the left. It left squish marks underneath like they were placed on mortar and something strange under the left block. I'd like to investigate that section. I think this is the work of the giants.

[@akkitty22]

It appears to be a fortress with a lengthy wall-like side. You can see another at a distance there was one other one, now surrounded by forests. I think he was actually walking on the bottom of it, it was "shot off" a distance and landed head first. The marking of black might be from the blast(s). But there seems to be a veil that prevents most commenters here from seeing that this is in fact handiwork of giants. @24:44 just more of what we see at Grand Canyon, decimated buildings.

[@joshuameier378]

As a rock climber this thing is like a dream, I MUST know where this is and climb it myself

[@loyalUSguy]

What about that other similarly rectangular shaped chunk laying nearby? Could that have been the part that broke off leaving flat surface? Nice video.

[@justbe1451]

Wow, I love your walks so much! Thank you for giving me these thrills, the video and narration experience, are epic. ❤

[@MrE-]

Yes I'm glad you guys did a collab

[@dalcassian9098]

Can see evenly spaced striations on the cubes sides...

[@clamsoup]

Still in the opening scenes. I like seeing mashups between channels I subscribe to..... Dog is begging to catch one of those elk. Show Randall Carlson your video of nature's masonry.

[@ArchangelExile]

12:06 "Not perfectly cubuler"... he says...

[@kellymcgrew9931]

This block is only twice as heavy as fully loaded starship

[@gdroege44]

Truly amazing! Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@annemariemcnamara8756]

Seriously amazing to see, love the collaboration, love Andrew and was impressive to see the climb up to top although lol was getting dizzy with the pics from the edge lol. But love the beauty and mystery of this place thanks for bringing the adventure to us.

[@Knytz]

Damn, i need to climb there

[@JDZiemba1773]

It sounds like dogo really wants to play with those elk...

[@dt-wq7ql]

Great watch , great investigation.

[@DeltaLima50]

This is a beautiful spot. Where is this located?

[@dcallan812]

Great video It is a very strange rock stuck all by its self. Mother nature is a wonderful thing. I watch Andrew, Eveline has only been in a couple of videos so its nice to see her again.

[@earthquakeveiwer]

Hello,, Looks like a Stone cut at a quarry. A long forgotten quarry.

[@Auroral_Anomaly]

Mother nature started playing Minecraft before GTA 6.

[@fe2nq]

It’s been cut that used to be a regular rock. I can hear the rock, but a machine has cut the sides like that. or people a super long time ago

[@selmalunast]

I really enjoyed this video, what an adventure! The world is beautiful, but also a great mystery. Thanks for showing us the most beautiful places in North America, greetings from the Netherlands
