Mysterious Stone Sites in the Hudson Valley

[@randomvintagefilm273]

It truly is disgraceful how these ancient sites have been destroyed and ignored. There is so much to see all over North America.

[@TheYeti308]

Grew up in Stone laden geography , lots of stone walls . Assumed Colonist farm clearing , not so sure about that , had to have been started much earlier . beautiful .

[@phillipyannone3195]

Fascinating subject. Obviously a lot of time and effort was put into the building of these monuments. Hopefully one day we will understand what the ancient people were trying to tell us or at least why it was so important at that time. Keep up the good work.😊

[@alanmarwine4125]

thank you so much for sparking my interest in these structures - simply amazing analyses. I do hope to visit at least one!

[@daveistrading]

I recommend searching for Lidar of these sites - especially Mt Merino

[@johnreilly9748]

So don't know if you will read this but I am a former Ghent, NY resident and there was a news paper going way back called the Chatham Courier and I remember reading one of their archived articles about a pastor of the Krum church in North Hillsdale Harlemville area taking the last spoken word death bed testament from a native person to the effect that his people settled there after a cata clysmic flood event that brought them up the Hudson River Valley and there is the remnants of a celestial stone observatory on a ridge there in N.Hillsdale,NY. There are lots of stoneworks all over that area!

[@SkunkyNugz]

would definitely like to learn more about this if possible and if you can send the link to the archives article.

[@swainsongable]

Well done! Such a truly fascinating field of study - Archeoastronomy and Sacred Geometry. Sure wish they had these subjects at uni when I was there in the early 80s because we were on our own back then and thus considered heretics. Academia had already veered away from teaching us how to think into their present curriculum of what to think. Thankfully, the Internet is our new Library if Alexandria. Thanks again for your erudite presentation.

Golf courses are such a blight on just about any landscape. Constant poisoning needed to keep useless grass perfect.

[@westho7314]

I agree Golf Courses are a mindless, environmentally unfriendly butt ugly blight, Besides the poison used for all the non indigenous often exotic plants, the tonnage of nitrates used for fast green growth and acre feet of water wasted used to keep the grass and petunias green of coarse seeps down deep polluting the aquafirs, Especially out west places like Palm Springs, Coachella valley , Las Vegas Valley, Phoenix Valley & so many other Desert & Mountain resorts, which used to be seasonal, but now year round resorts, where for months keeping the grass green during 110++ degree days requires alot of water and fertilizer to jeep the money green, It is far more than a mental drought & compulsive obsession. I think Palm Springs has close to 100 golf courses now, I remember years ago there were 7 courses in Palm Springs. Of coarse back then In Vegas ha 1 or 2 golf Coarses & you could see the open desert from each end of the Strip looking north or south from either end town, there was an end to it... Of coarse gas was 19 cents a gallon, breakfast was 39 cents, , steak & eggs 69 cents, and there was still table service, no "all you can eat buffets", & no fat golfers either.. And people were not in such a hurry. I was a Chef in many resorts, the waste produced for an exclusive few recreators and clubbers is completely mind numbing. Instant gratification and fingertip living. I was totally abused as a child forced to be a golf caddy on weekends during my formative years for daddy dearest, and the boys from work that was pure torture. Later in life the few resorts i worked at that had a golf courses made me think,, the smell of heavy nitrates layiing low while evaporating in the sprinklers mist, permeating the hot desert air at night.

The Pleiades were referred to as the Seven Sisters in early Greek mythology. The Greek Explorers traveled all over the world and were the ones who gave the Arctic people of Alaska their present-day name "Thule". Some of the Thule later moved to Canada and renamed themselves the Inuit Several cultures use the Pleiades to align stone structures - The Egyptians, Mayans, Maori, etc... 471 might be related to 4 seasons, 7 stars, and 1 Sun.

Curious where one could find a link to the map of sites you share in your vid? thank you!!!

[@robertbray7855]

I appreciate the effort you have put into this film. Have you read “Some Geological Rambles Near Vassar College “ by George Burbank Shattuck He speaks about one of the Pearched Boulders in Poughkeepsie NY and has photos of it in his book with its location. Also Barry Fells book America B C or America Rediscovered?

[@thumbygreen]

it is more likely these stone construction were built by possibly the Irish or Vikings as natives were and are not known to build with stone in any significant way. this is all pre Columbus discovery

[@koltoncrane3099]

Thumbygreen You do realize native Americans built stone structures right? There’s pyramids in Mexico, machu pichu etc. Basically anyone here before Columbus is a Native American I assume. The trouble is if you’re a welsh red headed Native American tribe academia doesn’t want that to be known. The pauites Native American tribe In Nevada tell how they killed a red headed tribe. Then ya got Easter island with statues with beards even though today’s Native Americans can’t grow beards. My point is clearly there were groups in the America before Columbus and probably way before the Vikings etc. Maybe the Vikings made Easter island or visited there for the locals to then make bearded statues, but there’s probably been global trade and travel even back in Roman times and older.

[@siriusfun]

@@thumbygreen Precisely. She - like many others in mainstream archaeology - tries to assign it to the native Americans who themselves have said repeatedly over the years that many of these structures (mounds, earthworks ) were already there when their ancestors arrived. Add to that the 250,000 miles of stone walls running through the northeastern US, many parts completely out of the way and in remote areas (definitely not farming) and there emerges a genuine mystery that is very unpopular to talk about in these highly politically charged times. False narratives are being pushed everywhere. It's very disappointing.

[@siriusfun]

@@koltoncrane3099 Machu Pichu was most certainly not built by the Aztecs. They said so themselves. Further, the indigenous peoples of Peru and Bolivia have their own origin stories about those megalithic structures (Puma Punku, etc) and who built them. But go on and contradict them, just as the western academics do to the indigenous folks here in North America who also state that many of the earthworks and mounds were already built when their ancestors arrived (or the even more daring claims some elders are on record as saying that their ancestors came from the East). Then there's that pesky haplogroup X thing... ;)

[@michaeldantoni4911]

Theres lots of sites in British Isles and Europe with similar construction so saying Indians built doesn't make alot of sense. Maybe Mayan or Phoenicians or Celts. Or a prehistoric culture of the distant past

[@csluau5913]

Great video, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@MrChristianDT]

You get these kinds of things all over the place. There is allegedly one in northern West Virginia that isn't well known, but is archaeologically attributed to Natives from the Monongahela Culture. In northeast Ohio, locals discovered a site in the swamps near the Grand River in Bristolville that's allegedly mostly still there, though the original account states the land owner had already demolished half of it before realizing they were looking at something man-made. There was also allegedly a chamber in Youngstown in Mill Creek park that the park service had sealed because they didn't want anyone to wander in & get hurt, but experts always denied its relation to Natives. There may have also been some sort of site in Austintown that was demolished to make an apartment complex. Local superstition claims it was a burial ground, though reading accounts of what was actually there, I think it was just a stone site. Another person found a few more that no longer exist using lidar maps for Summit County. You can just go on & on with this. Even the Hopewell Mound sites in Indiana- some of the park experts will even let on that a lot of the Mound clusters used to be surrounded by low stone walls. Likely a sacred site marker added by later Algonquian residents, like the Miami.

[@dominickrizzo6148]

Love the amount of information thank you

[@SumNumber]

I feel your anger but the " sense " of it is across the board on many avenues . It feels like many have lost the sense of appreciation and understanding of what we ALL have. The handing down of ideas have ceased for a few generations and this is what we get. Thanks for your ideas and share. It is what it it is and that is to say that no one should say anything , it is to say it is very very hard to change. :O) Funny too !

[@jasontheflyingfarrierhays]

Fantastic presentation

[@melkel2010]

The chamber in 37:40 would look like an eye (of a rattlesnake?) when the chamber is illuminated. And the hillock its built on looks like the snake's head. I wonder if the rest of the landscape has features that look like a snake body. The next chamber makes me think of a dragon's eye, and it has a pointed rock that shades into the "iris" of that eye. Have you found or are you aware of chambers with snake art carved on them or near them?

[@celerywhelan2988]

I bet you are correct because there are many instances of incorporating the landscape into the design all over the Americas, the best known example is the Ohio Serpent mound, which is built on the edge of an old impact crater, I’m not sure what it’s called, a cliff (?) which actually looks like the head of a serpent and then the surrounding area also looks like a serpent, so there are two in one! Also the perched boulder in North Salem she showed to me looks like a feline head, just as so many others look like representations of turtles, snakes, and other things. Totally fascinating. And another thing, though I’m sure in this day and age I could be lambasted, but the Native Americans say that these structures were here when they got here and they know nothing about them, and this includes the mounds, stone “walls”, chambers, etc. I don’t know why history is getting rewritten, but it’s very clearly stated in their early history.

[@teyanuputorti7927]

Really is a fascinating topic thank you for talking about it, I would for the northeast to have ancient stone structures like the rest of the country.

[@abrahamsorby8193]

I think we've got ancient stone walls here in wyoming, just to the northwest of Casper wyoming. You can see them from the highway

[@mrbaab5932]

Have you asked any of the local Native Americans about these sites? The Native Americans had farming in pre-contact Northeast, so basic stone walls at the edge of fields should be common. For farmers without writing, stone or wood hedges are very important and are common in other parts of US.

[@lg8498]

This area has no original indigenous natives. Entire tribes were wiped out and any that survived were absorbed into other tribes in other parts of the country. We have some stories and some words that have remained but no way to verify because they are all gone. 😢 But one story that I've heard myself being 6th generation Hudson Valley is as per the stone chambers they weren't made by local natives. But they were here before their ancestors arrived

[@eddier7525]

No WAY natives built anyone of these structures

[@DaveDahuh]

Do you know of any structures in the WNY Erie county area? I've only searched satellite images and have only seen one area that is of interest. Its a area of either old hedges or ancient walls with over growth. These walls structures were out of place for the area and looks like they were part of a larger structure. I could get the satellite location if you would like to take a look?

[@PorchHonkey]

There's a rock outcropping on top the mountain in between Wind Gap,PA. and Totts' Gap,PA. that has about a 30' cliff(drop) facing south with a boulder a little less than twice as big as the one you are rocking that will teeter like a see saw on the edge of that cliff but won't roll off. Know of 2 possible 3 what I believe to be cairns too within 15 mile radius of the boulder but can't be specific about that

Ships pics faces beings and the stone wall sacredness waterfall facing north but barred off and now others say we can even go there.

[@nancyfrances344]

I think it was the ancestors of the Native American people who built them. They are much older than they are. Native Americans say the mounds were already here and they didn't build them. They are 2000 years old. ....Lost tribes of Israel built them

[@sherigraham3873]

Please, has a native American mentioned the tribes of Isreal? Because I believe that.

[@celerywhelan2988]

Yes, history is getting rewritten, very strange, because it is in every single Native American history that these structures were here when they got here, and they repeatedly said that they knew nothing about them, but now they’re claiming them and the bones found so that they are allowed by law to bury them and therefore we can do no studies on them because they now have the rights to them.

[@siriusfun]

@@sherigraham3873 Many tribes have origin stories referring to ancestors from the east. There were definitely explorers here many thousands of years ago from as far away as the Mediterranean basin and possibly even from China. The lost tribes of Israel is a Mormon story and may or may not have some truth to it, but that would've been in 450BC or so. There were others here in North America long before that who were not of native American descent. Their DNA is still present in some indigenous tribes - both Denisovan and Haplogroup X, which is found in Europe, west Asia, North Africa (Egypt, middle east). Look in to the Windover Bog people in Florida. 10,000yrs old and not native Americans. History is not what we've been taught. That needs to change and people like Zimmerman should be more responsible and do the research instead of perpetuating these false narratives.

[@westho7314]

Megalithic Age Sea Peoples were mobile and advanced in abstract steller mathematics, navigation, night sky knowledge most on land didn't know of & had little use for. Sea people existed the world over were not restricted to confines of claimed land or geopolitics, peoples wars over regions, especiially when resources became scarce, back when the earliest advent of agriculture became necessary by many cultures to feed all the people to prevent famine & war, The Sea people could leave & look for greener pastures . The Ocean has seasons & Sea people spent time on the land likely looking for that special place on land, with the right wood to build their craft, the next New World, that paradise with fewer people they could call their own. They knew it existed but by 12k-9k bce/ the sea people knew the earth was round and how to build the craft for getting around it, and knew there were populations of people living on all contenients, Polynesians, Asians,.South Americans, Arab.Indian & Africans all had a very small population of Sea Faring people. The knowledge of boatbuilding as was the knowledge of navigation at sea, other lands around the world and passages to get there, all was kept close for at least a couple thousand years before early"civilization and advent of armies & warfare.
