Wonderful series, Alex, thank you.

[@JohnPaul-158]

first time viewer! it was nice to see the places, but also, the respect you showed them!

[@Jota-rc8yq]

Thank you for sharing all your adventures with us, content this good is hard to come by!

[@laurasedano7755]

Fascinating! And so beautiful. I love your videos. My family and I visit Monterey county a few times each year. Your videos have opened my eyes to the history there. Thank you!

[@corinneowens4583]

I love learning about ancient people and where and how they lived, I came across your channel after visiting Moab for the first time and seeing the petroglyphs on the cliff walls around there and it's a joy to learn more from you!

[@NazPhura2]

Awesome pieces, Alex.. Creatively blending environmental wonders & offering/revealing historically relevant elements are all set to beautifully curated soundscapes, applicable to each individual treck. The resulting multi-dimension montages are unique & top-notch! How incredibly redeeming it must be to have submerged yourself unto such majestically poignant atmospheres, ultimately producing very spellbinding content. Thanks for sharing!

[@crystgh]

I’m happy to always see your videos in my feed! Great job!

[@brad45c]

Your productions are always viewed with pleasure and amazement, Alex. Thanks so much! Brad

[@storiesbyalex]

Brad, thanks for the kind words..............alex

[@ingvarellingsen2925]

Wow, what a fantastic adventure! Cedar Mesa is one of my favorite places on the planet. And I haven't even been there. Thank you!

[@ibrahimnet707]

Yes, we have the same old houses also identical to them here on the slopes of the mountains in my country, as I told you earlier!!!!

[@claimtofame373]

Thank you so much for sharing this wealth of history, and knowledge that I would have never seen! So much beauty in this great land we share! I truly love these videos Alex! Keep up the amazing work!

[@storiesbyalex]

Thanks for watching and I appreciate your kind words. My regards - alex

[@813lem]

From what I understand the spirals indicate a water source? If I was there I'd probably never leave. I'd spend the rest of my days living and roaming around the cliffs and mesas searching for ancient structures every waking moment. I love ancient history, to walk through it, touch it, live beside it would be the best life I can imagine.

[@janebeckman3431]

Always amazes me to see sites with some of the roof still intact. Thanks for sharing!

[@storiesbyalex]

Janes, thanks for watching. Yes, I agree as its always amazing to encounter these ancient places............................alex

[@BarefootBill]

My old knees say "Thank You, Alex".

[@jerbearlolz]

You’re the man Alex!

[@marin4311]

Nice travel through time and old Civilisations.

[@GrandmaBev64]

I just discovered this site. I'm glad I did. The site at that starts at 22:21, looks blown up, not naturally decomposed. It's more of a debri field. When everything is in pieces, something bad happened. I'm working on a video, showing the difference between natural erosion and purposeful destruction.The Calvary was ordered to exterminate Native American People and they were getting a quarter a scalp, then, raised the price to $5. I'm so disgusted with the government with how they handled the Native American People. The history that has been lost is immense. We need to preserve what is left. Thank You for the videos. Stuff like this video, are a step in the right direction.

[@jigold22571]

Magnificent. Thank You ❣

[@harirao12345]

Wow .. beautiful video! I especially enjoyed the pictures of the natives in the end in homolovi.

[@storiesbyalex]

Thanks for watching and your comment. I filmed these sequences about 5 years ago and just recently decide to produce this segment...................alex

[@michaelnewton2292]

Thank you Alex. As always, your video and the story was very moving.

[@storiesbyalex]

Mike, thanks for watching and I appreciate your comment..............................alex

[@raymonddettlaff1386]

Alex it's so fantastic to see another one of your videos. I'm still new to your channel so, while there was a break, I've started watching your older videos. I had no idea you've made so many episodes, so cool. I grew up in Arizona and just love southwest history, archeology, anthropology. Good to see your friendly face, look forward to the next one.

[@storiesbyalex]

Raymond, thanks for watching and your kind words. Arizona is a great place to trek through and has some amazing sites..................alex

[@HistoryofAztlan]

It’s good to see you out in the field again! I hope you’ve been doing well.

[@storiesbyalex]

Thanks for watching. All is well.............................alex

[@Saladmama57]

Great to see you again with these educational, interesting videos. Cedar Mesa area is my fave.....

[@storiesbyalex]

Chris, thanks for watching. Cedar Mesa is an awesome place. Several years ago I filmed the Cave Tower cliff dwelling which is situated on three levels and that was amazing...........................alex

[@cj4688]

[@maisis.2139]

Thank you for sharing.. I like learning about ancient culture... watching from Montevideo

[@samsmom1491]

Remarkably sophisticated for just 150 people. I think there were a lot more there. The ball court is a surprise. Maybe picked up or brought from cultures farther south?

[@TansGauntlett]

ALEX GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!! BRAVO!

[@storiesbyalex]

Thanks for watching and your kind words. Keep on playing that guitar - sounds great..............................alex

[@Me97202]

Nice that you were able to get that close at Mesa Verde. When I was there access was closed.

[@blackcatgypsiesshonny]

Don't get eaten by a mountain lion Alex, we need you to keep taking us on these great adventures 🤠

[@toddmccowen8206]

just the drive to masa verde is spectacular , and when u get there for old people u dont have to walk long ways to see it -lots of drive around form one side to the other to see most of the buildings from a car in fall after leaves fall . dont know what's best the drive UP or the village's .

[@brianferris1233]

Thank you for sharing it was engrossing entertaining thought inspiring.

[@briansorci2784]

Cool ring collection

[@devinwessels5092]

Your ah legend man, these symbols and ancient sights are exciting to spectate on a video, I can only imagine being there in person

[@weswarren5987]

I’ve driven and walked around a little there, it’s so worth a four day tour/driving around. One can do the Mesa verde loop driving and getting out to view. Figure two eight hour days to do the loop..... twice of course

Great video as always But please the song that starts around nine minutes Beautiful native singing Can you tell me the song and artist Anyone?¿?¿?¿?¿ Thanks so much

[@chha6439]

All those bare rocks that are exposed ,would've been covered with some kind of stucco ,lime stone slurry ,probably was absolutely gorgeous in it's time. Not counting the Colors they chose to add!

[@zeynelocak9557]

Danke sehr

[@pamelaattrux336]

That’s a lot of stones to make these structures wow

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

Это мои родные люди

[@Bassmasterwitacaster]

So you can just walk around this place freely or is there a fence?

[@storiesbyalex]

Hello Slick Willy, thanks for watching. There are paths around the area where you can stroll through, but most visits to the structures require a guided tour by a Ranger....................Alex

[@14149bb]

Thank you ###!!!

[@onlythewise1]

must of been a tough life there

[@369motoman]

Incredible places! Do you use dstretch to enhance the pictographs? Keep up the awesome content.

[@storiesbyalex]

Thanks for watching and your comments. I have used D-Stretch in several films which contained pictographs - you can find them on my channel playlist...........................alex

[@daveulmer]

When will you realize that kivas were water/ice cold food storage containers? They could also be used for fermenting foods and making beer. Same as a root cellar in most cases.

[@jackreisewitz7219]

How about raising the volume of the narration, and dropping the volume on the flute.

[@onlythewise1]

weather was different then

[@lenturtle7954]

Thier dwellings will still be standing long after our strand board boxes have fallen apart 😂

[@chrisk7626]

It's amazing that people find the so amazing like they're so far ahead and 860 the Church of Notre Dame was built. Don't get me wrong love watching this like watching the work of the atlanteans. That will come to light as soon as the smithsonian's destroyed. For whatever reason they don't want us to know our true history in America or the world. All the Egyptian names in the Grand Canyon we're told To Us by the Native Americans who had no idea there was a place called Egypt with the same names. why isn't anyone talking about this PS Anasazi means ancient ones before what we call the Native Americans ask a Zuni about their history?

[@ritareadyerbible2166]

It’s spelled Wupatki, one of my favorite places.

[@johnwilliams8296]

Aelph Gamma Vate!!!

[@813lem]

How can you be sure the ancient people made all the petroglyphs and not some modern human in last 20,40,50 yrs.? I know some are obviously too weathered to be recent but some seem to bright (?) to me. Maybe that's just how video makes them look?

[@timothyhall7375]

Palace this is an ancient apartment complex

[@nicholaslibby1515]

[@demarrsurfboards3656]

Kivas look like sleeping quarters to me

[@foxyauragems6146]

Stone tools is very rudimentary compared to the ancient megalithic sites around the world ...

[@Paid2Win]

According to the Navajo, these people were slavers. (Anasazi) Their people died out because other tribes refused to trade with them after they started to fall from honor. Not my account, parroted poorly from the words of a Navajo elder.

[@Robinhood1966]

The same day I was at Mesa Verde with my family, a mountain lion killed a 10 yr old girl less than an hour away on a mountain hiking trail, when ran ahead of her parents. Was around 1997.

[@devinwessels5092]

They really knew the worth of the sun

[@darlahenri8095]

Thanks lovely. Wish we knew more. I feel like I almost recall but mostly just almost. Would it be wonderful if real history were taught instead of that c____p that is taught.

[@saradale9028]

Why native moved out from the old ancient cave dweller is that earth quick, volcanic exploration, disease came with Turkey people, they said, they came from the land of Turkey land. Killed alot of native, but survived the diseases. The turkey immigrants stayed with Navajos. They got lost in the wide great water. They didnt tried to back. Navajo men were knitters, crocs for the family. Navajos were great writer, read. The enemies citizens their tongues out, cut the fingers off, cut the feet off. Stole the rest golden paper booklet of plates. But god told them one day u will get your books back, write, read again!!

[@gravitybong7785]

Oh it's a walking stick for a second I thought it was a gun. Like we are really searching for the acients here, what part of KZbin did I find? Oh it's a walking stick. I'm retarded, it's OK I know it. Thanks for the upload!

Ok, 4:30 minutes in & I'm out of here.
