Quail Point Petroglyphs - Arizona

[@ShelleeGraham]

I’m enjoying viewing this video a second and third time. These are wonderful documentaries about ancient cultures. Petroglyphs, pictographs and other formats of expression are beautiful and I am grateful for this content. Thank you.

[@MrDrletendre]

Alex, Your videos are well done! I am addicted to them. I also love simply going around seeing evidence of the ancients. I lived in Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Calif. And never tire of seeing the glyphs, rock art and encampments. Thank you for sharing, putting so much effort into your videos!

[@storiesbyalex]

dennis, thanks for watching the series and your comments. I feel the same way - keep on trekking.......alex

[@philipcallicoat3147]

Seven years later, Still very interesting and informative 🕊️!!!

[@tuledude89]

Very cool with the different filters really brings them out..... Thanks for the tour

[@storiesbyalex]

+tuledude89 Hey Tuledude, glad to hear from you and thanks for watching. It was a fun trek..........alex

[@XC797]

Thanks for showing us some fascinating things about our desert history

[@LoamReaper]

Excellent, thanks! You were lucky to go there when you did--it's closed to visitors now.

When using a compass, it always points to magnetic north, not true north. You adjust the compass to match the magnetic declination. In the southwest, it's about 15º from true north. I don't know how much off it is in that part of México, but I'm willing to bet that if you find true north the compass on the cross petroglyph will be even more accurate. In regards to the cross with the four circles at Quail Point, the arrangement of the four circles closely resembles the arrangement of the stars in the constellation of Cygnus, also a cross.

Thanks for watching and your comments....................................alex

Another fine video, I have seen a lot of Petroglyphs none that heavy to make It hard to see the orginals. Nice spot at 9:35 I love to see petroglyphs that show interaction with each other I have found a few....This video has so much to see I'm amazed really nice glad I watched to the end..The Jaquar Petroglyph and up side down man possible meaning death. I have seen a few up side down men .

[@itscomplicated5507]

I interpreted the last glyph as representing how many days it takes to go between villages. There are six circles within circles in a line. It represents six days and nights. ( six suns and six moons). The line is the Gila River.

[@TheZeekgeek1]

Imagine holding that mortar grinding stone that ancient ladies used several hundred years ago

[@zanderalijah615]

You probably dont give a shit but if you guys are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my brother lately xD

[@sterlingronnie9739]

@Zander Alijah yup, been watching on InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D

[@TheMoofy8]

loved the compass example!

[@germancampoy7885]

Hi Alex. I just stumble upon your videos and wonder if you have ever found representations of the feathered/plumed/horned serpent. I am very curious about it's possible connection to the Mexica/Aztec god Quetalcoatl. It is known that the Mexicas emigrated to today's center of Mexico from "far away up north."

[@BootsEditor11]

In 1,000 years this video will also be a relic...

[@chrisk7626]

Chatsworth Park in the San Fernando Valley has all the grinding stone holes at the end of the park behind the rec center underneath the oak tree .if anyone wants to go see them the stones were laying there but probably long gone. We pointed them out to the Rangers we don't know if they did anything

[@madhistory]

Alex we are doing all the gila bend petroglyph just finished quail point and sears point , I have oatman mapped and the rest mapped How did you map Hummingbird Thanks enjoy your vids Thanks jss

[@Steinzeichen_Obo74]

Absolut fantastic 🌍✨

[@floranderson2251]

Excellente video! EXCELLENT IMAGES!!

[@storiesbyalex]

Flor, thanks for watching. I intend to return to that site and film some aerial footage. Hopefully, sometime this year..............alex

[@floranderson2251]

[@ledauphindebourbon6956]

Possible hunt and possible jaguar .... while on 12:29-12:33 is certainly a dragon. Vertically. lol

[@aquillafleetwood8180]

Those circles or boundries might divide clans of their tribe, like Cherokees had seven clans.

[@johnallen2771]

People lived in areas where they could get food and water in addition to shelter. If water dried up or food wasn't plentiful they would just pick up and move to a new place. So they were nomadic but at the same time settled for long periods.

[@chenydeniz3594]

Exactly, it s fantastic

[@munkypark2560]

What happened to the rocks to blacken them? Were they deliberately burnt to vitrify the surface?

[@storiesbyalex]

Munky, the burnt color is formed naturally in arid regions and is often referred to as Desert Varnish and is described a thin coating (patina) of manganese, iron and clays on the surface of sun-baked boulders..........alex

[@munkypark2560]

@@storiesbyalex thanks

[@Mav8887.]

Subscribed! Best videos ever

[@storiesbyalex]

LeadCaster87, thanks for watching and you kind words..........alex

[@aquillafleetwood8180]

I love watching this stuff, growing up in west Texas...

[@holdtrue2021]

💯same @9:06 kind of looks like butterfly

[@Saladmama57]

Alex, you must have a high clearance vehicle to get into some of these places. Newspaper Rock is a tremendous site. (I've been to Newspaper Rock in Canyonlands) I am heading to the Sun City/Peoria AZ area to visit my folks in another week. Are there any sites close by I can get to with a rental car? Thank you for sharing your discoveries.

[@storiesbyalex]

+Chris Colson Chris, I have a Suburban which I use for my treks. Its a second hand vehicle I bought for $2,500 several years ago. Well worth the investment. There are many sites around the Phoenix area where you can park your vehicle and hike a short distance. In Peoria there is the White Tank Mountain site. Do a Google search for petroglyphs in Phoenix and you should come up with several sites to visit. This is the link for White Tank: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qorWdIWKmbmssKc

[@Saladmama57]

+storiesbyalex Great, I'll check that out. Thank you!

[@SonOfGod-sz5yc]

The bird above the jaguar to the left with the fallen man looks like a condor or vulture with out stretched wings like when they sun themselves on a cliff. Do you know what culture are the artist? My guess would be O'ODHAM or HOHOKHAM.

[@storiesbyalex]

+dakota38rip+Dakota, thanks for watching. The Payatan and Hohokham are represented. However, the cultures that pre-dated them is unknown except to say they were desert archaic people. The following link is a short article on Quail Point. www.archaeologysouthwest.org/what-we-do/initiatives/protected/quail-point/

[@nakoawarrior3186]

Some believe that your petroglyps were ancients recording celestial phenomenon. That might possibly occur when other plannet's get too close or a polar shift occurs causing a plasma discharge event. Those stickmen were really plasma discharge formation's.

[@aquillafleetwood8180]

The stars shall be for signs.... Genesis 1: 14....

[@patricktillett766]

Hi Alex! I see you made it to this place. Love your video.

[@storiesbyalex]

+Patrick Tillett Hello Patrick, it was a fun trek and I hope you make it out there one day.. Last week I went out to Hummingbird Point, but it was a 102 degrees and I had to pause my trek. I'll return to that spot in several months......alex

[@cameronsmith5868]

Jaguars still live in southern Arizona, look up Macho B

[@justinparker7795]

Spectulation , say " this is my thoughts" 15;10 Sematar. 24;22 antilope !

[@bcbconklin]

very interesting spot, Alex; thanks.

[@tinhtrinh3537]

Did you see a snake at 10:26? Right on top of the petroglyphs!1

[@MrChristianbowman82]

No

[@rd264]

at ~21 mins the sun casts shadows toward the east [not the west as you have it].

[@royramey5659]

i think the upside down ones are like that because the rock rolled over

[@storiesbyalex]

Roy, thanks for watching and your comment. I took a second look at several photos of the upside down man and I could see that that the upside down man was located on a cliff face wall which had not separated or tumbled over from the cliff...................alex

[@TroutWest]

Hello, appreciate the video. I recently went to Sears point, how do I get to this one? What road?

[@TroutWest]

Nevermind, found it..

[@codekey74]

how did he not know to understand that the stone maches up right away?

Why the blue Jewelry?

[@storiesbyalex]

Yakov, why not - should I change the color?

[@rickpearce4653]

That animal wasn’t upside down, the rock had rolled from above .

[@zeynelocak9557]

Thanks a lot

[@AlreadyImmortal]

Perhaps the ' newspaper rock' is a 'fertility rock'...

[@AlreadyImmortal]

The lizard glyphs are perhaps the Lizard People spoken of in their stories...

[@greyseal7]

What I believe is that you are somewhat atlatl crazed. I will admit to your showing us a great natural wonder!

[@storiesbyalex]

+greyseal7 Thanks for watching....alex

[@cbrucesbiz]

Alex you have to contact me. I know what these petroglyphs represent. I respect your desire to explain and discover the things you have seen only you must know what I know if you are to continue your quest and maintain the respect you have built up. Your fans will want to know and respect you even more when you explain your new discovery. The world need to know. If enough know what I want you to tell them then we will push the world history ahead by many decades. Contact me ASAP. I will be out of town for Christmas but I will try to keep looking for your reply. Be well, be safe and question everything.

[@REVOLUTION91]

If you have something to share Bruce, please do!

[@makskeisag7042]

There are analogies to some symbolic images in the Caucasus. I have been researching village symbols and signs for 20 years. Read my monograph " the History of mankind. Sensational discovery". Account on Facebook "Keisag"

[@storiesbyalex]

Maks, thanks youfor watching the video and your information. I reviewed your Facebook "Keisag". The images of the area and the symbols are beautiful. Thank you for sharing..............................alex

[@robertspies4695]

Alex, I am enjoying your videos of suthwestern and Califonia petroglyphs. Your enthusiasm is quite evident. If you wanted to make improvements a few less "look at this over here" and jtedaust pointing the camera would help. Are your opinions/conclusions about older and younger images substantiated by professional archeoilogists? Keep up the good work.

[@aquillafleetwood8180]

The asterism, the Northern Cross is mostly inside the Great Summer Triangle for a reason! I have the first 5 books of the Bible written in Paleo-Hebrew! The triangle plus the cross spell "law" in Paleo-Hebrew, with the word picture reading, "Door of the Cross", near the North Star! Psalms 75: 6,....exaltation comes from God out of the North... Looking north is like looking upward towards God! Google, the Northern Cross, by Aquilla Fleetwood, youtube! There are no such things as a so called big dipper or a little dipper! Hieroglyphs are in our night skies around the North Star pointing to Christ! Hence, the Northern Cross, near the North Star! You ought to see it in color! Amazing....... Shalom...
