Chalfant Petroglyph Site, Mono County, California

Trek with me to Chalfant Valley, Mono County, California, and view images carved into stone by ancient man.

[@peggynulsen1365]

Wonderful glyphs. Thanks so much for the tour. Vandals should be horsewhipped. Not kidding.

[@claimtofame373]

Very sad to see this kind of vandalism, and attempted theft on this great historic preservation in stone! Their history handed down by mouth has been wiped out, and now the history in stone is being attacked. Wonderful video Alex! Thank you so much for sharing!♥️💯👍🖐👏👏

[@mohamedalkurdi643]

Thank you Alex for this informative video keep up you are marvelous .

[@ShelleeGraham]

Chalfant is an interesting site with very unique petroglyphs on the volcanic rock. Thank you Alex.

[@duketogo13]

Keep up the good work, nice chatting with you recently! Stay safe out there in the heat!

[@huntingtonbeachsasquatch]

Thank you Alex, We always look forward to your videos and knowledge.😉👍🧐

[@kelliethomas8171]

Very interesting. I have friends who walk where their ancestors walked in Mono Country. They are proud of their Native ancestry. Thank you for sharing!!

[@user-pp4nd7vw8m]

What a beautiful site! Thank you for all of your effort traveling, recording and editing! The snake and purple flowers were amazing! What a fine Gallery of art!

[@ingvarellingsen2925]

Exellent edit! So many beautiful petroglyphs. Thank you for sharing, Alex!

[@suemacias667]

Love your videos, Alex. Thank you!

[@TheSlimej]

Incredible. Thanks for sharing these, living vicariously through these videos is the only way for me.

[@darlenelane9010]

Thank you so much for sharing this ancient rock art. I wish I had known these were in that area when I hiked thru the ancient forest of Bristlecone pines.....and I love the music in this video!

[@fishboi987]

Hello friend, your journeys are a grace to me and my friends! The circular Steele could represent a volcano in the center. Perhaps ancient man learned of or witnessed a great event. The sides may represent weather or represent knowledge of tuffa formation. Just my first impression. Happy travels my dearest friends!

[@UyenTranonyoutube]

THANK YOU

[@iamtheroadwanderer]

Cool video. Thanks for taking us along!

[@myronbenware8779]

I find all your videos interesting, informative, educational and relaxing. Thank you.

A theory about the shields. The center ring is the sun, rays going down to give the light to the crops below. The spheres at 12 3 and 9 oclock are the moon cycle. One is even black to indicate new moon, ones has rays to indicate it is different than the one opposite, and one of them shows the otherwise buried phase (usually covered by the rays) by being slightly off set to the left. Maybe it was believed to bring a better harvest, and if that was the case, then the scale and quality could have been symbolic.

[@lydiaweatherwax994]

and maybe its a calendar - notice the 7 lines at "Spring" - and then 7 rays from the sun? but whats the blackness from the upper moon pouring down on the middle sun? are they showing an eclipse? An eclipse is pretty amazing and would be a spiritual experience I am sure.

[@BrendanDavies-xb6ry]

It's a giant aurora they were depicting, check out Anthony perat

[@Qingeaton]

@@lydiaweatherwax994 Yeah, I guess if you add all the small notches, you get something close to a number of days in a month?

[@sallyscott9172]

Lovely, those flowers were pretty.

[@KathleenMcCormickLCSWMPH]

I’ve been to the area around Bishop many times and never knew these were there. Thank you, Alex, for such a comprehensive documentation of these beautiful etchings. Really a trip. If only we knew what they were trying to tell us….

[@Monts-zw3hi]

some know...

[@ronridd]

Thank you again for these Alex. Like someone else pointed out, the shield looks instantly very much to me like a volcano. It happened between the sun and moon, or went on a whole day.

[@tronskifpv]

lots of interesting shapes here. thank you!

[@ronaldbarrett3112]

Wonderful video of the petroglyphs in Mono County. Thanks (Ref. I live in MO!)

[@exploringwithJim]

Hey Alex I’m thinking the three similar shield designs are rudimentary calendars. Each one a refinement of the previous with the most detailed being the latest. The year is divided into the long vertical lines and the “weeks” the marks on the edge of the circle. with the hatch line below being a guide showing which parts of the calendar were most productive for sustenance. The fist lines indicating game, the middle the growth of plants and the last part the barren part of the year with no symbols above the vertical lines.

[@woodyhaney]

The purple flowers may have been Fremont's Indigo Bush, Psorothamnus fremontii

[@katielin2379]

Yes, and they smell devine.

[@bethbartlett5692]

Excellent thought share.

[@donkeytico13]

Big shield symbol looks like a volcano. Smoke plume rising up with the lava pouring out below. ??

[@EarthFixVids]

Very nice film

[@jameshudson7053]

Beautiful images thanks so much and yes, it is sad some people disrespect heritage by desecrating and vandalizing it!

[@WilliamLaraway]

thank you for sharing this is awesome

[@normgustafson4525]

Did you see “Chidago” also?

[@HarleyRunner]

Traditional Bishop Paiute sacred lands!

[@zeynelocak9557]

Thanks

[@morrisl7]

these rock formations seems like an ancient structure to me, the flat surfaces, square shapes that fit perfectly (5:30, 7:21, 10:57, etc) show these could be some kind of ancient megalithic ruins. lot of talk of "melted buildings" on the internet now, perhaps the plasma events depicted could have had something to do with it, the natives trying to say "this is what happened to this structure"

[@annhien6306]

Oh wow, amazing video right here! Thank you for your sharing! Can I repost your channel on another platform called Ganjing World? Everything will be kept as is with full credit and sources. Please let me know.

[@storiesbyalex]

An Nhien, thanks for watching the film and yes you can re-post on Ganjing................alex

[@annhien6306]

@@storiesbyalex Thank you so much!

[@glenmcclatchey7443]

Your multi legged alien. I've seen in conjunction with pictures brought from Agartha. He triangular head is interesting there's many with inverted triangular bodies. That may represent a landing

[@bcbconklin]

Some unique glyphs at this site. Isolated tribe, I suppose.

[@youlikeanh]

The "Shields" to me look like a representation of the world with a volcano erupting in the middle of it...maybe the two half circles represent the sun or moon? maybe an asteroid?

[@toymaker20]

thanks for sharing a bit of history before it just disappears

[@rosariosalazar3938]

This is amazing!! Isn't a wall?

[@TheSlimej]

You'll find the shield pattern around the world in similar formations depending on latitude. Plasma discharge....

[@hologramonhalloground1638]

Cool What type of camera are you using the pictures are really good

[@jot9073]

At 5:06 it appears to be keep the commandments so you can cross the bridge in to the next life

[@VinBSunday]

For answers regarding the glyphs look up the electric universe folks.

[@stringdoc]

Alex, have you been to Sego Canyon, Utah? I'm going there and am really excited about the pictographs there.

[@storiesbyalex]

Thanks for watching the series. Yes, I have been there and it was an awesome place when I visited years ago. I filmed the site and its included in one of my Utah films.....................alex

[@courtmarker1779]

your a super star ALEX

[@richardmorrison2686]

The shields look like family or tribe identity, as in a coat of arms today

[@TheSlimej]

The petroglyph at 10:00 is a beautiful example of a plasma pinch...

[@brianferris1233]

👍👍

[@Ed-ym4tu]

I notice a lot of petroglyphs that resemble the Ogham style of writing. Since we know native Americans have some Eiropian DNA, I wonder if this is a similar style of writing.

[@Donatuis]

is it appropriate to reveal this location in such detail on a map? especially considering this location has already been vandalized?

[@storiesbyalex]

Thanks for watching and your concern. This site is open to the public and directions to get there are on the internet. There has been some vandalism at that site, but for the most part it is intact...................................alex

[@Donatuis]

That may be the case, but why invite increased access? why make it easier? the educational component of the video can exist without the navigational component in the intro@@storiesbyalex

[@sofiasteinhagen5160]

I lived in Chalfant 20+ years ago. Went to the site one day and some fool was running cattle out there. Yeah.

[@richardprofit6363]

Was wondering what tribe is thought to have made these ? And are there any tribal members left..perhaps if so they could explain some of the symbols ?

[@louisroth5941]

Ah yes. Depression. A disease with many cures. Stories by Alex is one of them!

[@Humpeltrulla]

see the shadow (!) on the wall at 3:00 to 3:02...

[@BillyBrujoShow]

The thing @ 3:37 is a map of the moon. Reach out to me somehow. I want to show you something.

[@Monts-zw3hi]

In the old world whenever that was they say that there were international slaves kept in the California caves who were the slavers this is before britian french Spanish colonial times

[@jot9073]

At the 4:44 mark that Y figure is Yahweh pointing at the serpent Satan

[@PUPPYBONZ]

POS to try and cut pieces out for selfish reasons. I'm surprised there isn't graffiti .

[@marilenejonez2561]

Good job sir but i dont think tjose r done by the native American Indians b cuz those symblos r too high up on walls...

[@emgiemaico]

that wasnt a shield. that was an alien

[@franzwaltenspuhl8892]

So completely disrespectful to try to remove one! Yet they didn’t. Wonder why…Maybe some karma.

[@marilenejonez2561]

I really think those symbols or art done by the Nephilum aliens not humans ...! Bcuz they r too high up on those rocks ...
