I discovered Impossible Geometry on Google Earth

Viewing the path of the October 2023 Solar Eclipse on Google Earth led me down a series of events, resulting in the discovery of seemingly impossible Geometric shapes and evidence of an ancient civilization living among them.
I was puzzled by these objects, and I had many questions about them. So I drove to the top of this remote cliff to look at them.
I found many things here that defy explanation. One of which turned out to be much stranger than I could have imagined.
What conclusions do you think these objects point to? Do you take this as confirmation of intelligent design? Evidence of a very specific series of geologic and erosional processes ? Or perhaps, we are living in a video game (Minecraft or Roblox? )
Thanks for watching this video, and if anyone has any sort of expertise that can help me make sense of what I found towards the end of the video, how these earth blocks were formed, or the questions I posed I would love to hear from you in the comments.

********* Yep. I am officially terrible at numbers. Turns out sandstone is much much heavier than 12.5 lbs / cubic foot. In fact it is much closer to ~150 lbs / cubic feet. Multiply every weight I mention in this video times 12 for a much more accurate number. ******

Ok, Thank you all. Cant believe how far I missed the mark on the pounds -per-cubic - foot weight of sandstone ☠☠☠Turns out these things are WAY heavier than I calculated. On a magnitude of 12x. The first object weighs closer to 1,354,500 lbs, about the same weight as a Giant Crane. The second object probably weighs 5,356,800 lbs which is about the weight of 4-5 Giant Cranes.

I’m a Stonemason and I’m interested to know your thoughts on these rocks, please. Do you believe they are natural formations or cut by Humans or an Ancient Advanced Life?

[@Sailor376also]

@@user-hb1ve6mc6f Interesting. Strictly natural, no question. I may even be able to guess why and how. A guess, based upon personal observation. I have traveled that area a few times,, mostly via canoe on the river. Trust me,, traveling at the astronomical pace 2+ mph, you have lots of time to think. That same regularly broken plateau covers thousands of square miles. Bring your google maps or Google Earth to look at the Confluence of the Colorado and the Green Rivers, you will see that same corrugation and the fractures in the same or similar directions. And,, if traveling I-70 somewhere near Grand Junction,, I don't remember exactly where. Earthquakes ripple ground like waves on the ocean. It has been reported many times, people looking across a flat expanse can see the waves as the Earth undulates. The waves are a regular spacing,, such that a 5 story building, or a 10 story or 15 story building, develop a rhythm,, every 50 feet or 5 stories. A 7 story building will survive an earthquake that demolishes a 5 story building. Take a rigid flat plate and ripple it into waves, I can easily imagine fractures regular at half the wave length, the rock gets bent from peak to peak with a trough in the middle. 21.5 X 2 MIGHT imply a 43 foot wave form. Fractured in the other direction,, my first guess is a separate earthquake. It IS of interest to note,, that approximate fracture direction? NE to SW is perhaps exactly perpendicular the to dinosaur killing event of 68 million years ago,, the impact that formed the Chixalub (sp?) Crater. The strike was so fierce it rippled the earth in waves like a storm at sea. A guess. (With a very high probability of being correct.) That interesting feature along I-70 ? Earthquakes can semi liquefy the earth. Sand 'blows' are a common occurrence. A sand blow is like a temporary sand geyser. At that point along I-70 is a line, approx north/south of sand hills,, all the same size. The earthquake that could have created that line of sand blows,, must have been huge. Something I just looked up Hudson Bay, northern Canada. There is a strike crater there.. scientists will say it could not possibly be,,, but sorry, no,, the shape is too exactly a meteor strike crater 350 miles in diameter. Sanikilauq And it IS almost exactly at right angles to the fractures from the Chixalub Crater to that point in the Southwest. Those fractures are from an earthquake,, a very, very, very large earthquake. Oh. I should have said. I do some stone work, not much, but some. One of may favourite jobs over the years. Set up a sturdy bench, and stand in the jobsite, 2.5 or 3 pound jack, a 2 to 3 inch chisel, and comb, and point and whack away at rocks to fit the need, to size and shape,, hour after hour, day after day,,, good work to have. I have thoroughly enjoyed that work. I may have a stone house , structural, coming up next winter. Native stone on site,, have not yet done some test cutting to see if the stone is suitable. We'll see.

This is orthogonal jointing in the uppermost massive sandstone member of the Permian (~270 Ma) Cedar Mesa Sandstone (of the Cutler Group). It formed due to a combination of 1. changes in the stress field as the Laramide-era (75-50 Ma) compression in the Colorado Plateau gave way to tectonic relaxation and extension, 2. development of the joint pattern due to thermal cycling and freeze/thaw physical weathering as the overburden above the Cedar Mesa sandstone was denuded and the unit exposed, concomitant with a Neogene uplift of the Colorado plateau, and 3. endogenous, auxetic effects on quartz grains in massive sandstone due to burial and subsequent uplift. There are numerous papers on this subject: Wagon & Curran. (2021). “Sandstone Geometry on the Colorado Plateau”. The Mathematical Intelligencer., Bai et al. (2002). “Orthogonal cross joints: do they imply a regional stress rotation?”. Journal of Structural Geology., Rives et al.

I'm a geologist, it's all natural baby. That's *Cedar Mesa* Sandstone which have been cut up by jointing, 2 sets of joints which don't always intersect at 90°, typically 60°-120°, and are caused by tension from tectonic forces. If you look around northeastern AZ and southwest UT you'll find them everywhere. They can cut parallelograms and introduce weak points in the rock for water to etch and erode and wind to blast, this is also how slot canyons begin to form. If you pull on rock it fractures at 90° to the direction of the pull. These aren't artifical. The bottom and top of the cubes are bedding planes, where sediment of different lithologies and grain size are deposited and introduce natural planes for things to break.

[@andrewshomemovies]

Nah it’s aliens

[@ChaosAssistant]

I might've been mistaken about the horizontal fractures, they may not be bedding planes and I should've known better. The Navajo Sandstone can be many hundreds of feet thick. These may infact be another set of joints, but not principally due to tectonics. They're likely unloading joints. Loose sediment needs to be buried by other sediment for a looonnggg time before grains are cemented and lithified into solid rock, which means they're cememented at depth and greater pressures than at the surface where we find them now. The Navajo Sandstone had the overlying mass which it was buried under "unloaded" by weathering and erosion. As the pressure above is relieved it creates a differential pressure vertically, the difference can mimic tensional forces such that the rock still fractures in joints, still at 90° to the direction, but now they're horizontal since the pressure difference is marked vertically.

[@NME1012]

Geologist here. These blocks are caused by a process called "jointing." It is not uncommon for orthogonal joint sets to form perpendicular to one another like this. This is a result of the minimum and maximum stress axes in the rock being perpindicular to one another (which is always the case in geologic settings). Because joints form with respect to the orientation of the internal stresses, all of the joints form with a preferred orientation, which results in parallel jointing in two directions, creating a rectangular grid of joints. Then over time, the jointed blocks on the cliffside slump off from the main formation due to mechanical weathering (e.g. water filling the joint, freezing, and expanding). If you'd like to learn more about this, Google "orthogonal joints." Super cool site! Thanks for sharing it.

Standing at the edge of the cliff looking down you can see what happened there. You filmed this on top of a massive geological uplift, right at the edge of the uplift. Isostacy clearly pushed the high ground straight upward and that caused massive earthquakes. The sandstone is very uniform in density and shock waves from the upward Isostatic force caused the uniform fractures. The uniformity originates from a 90* force emanating from beneath the earths crust. Gravitational forces dont do twists and turns. Very interesting footage, the landscape is fascinating.

What always captures my imagination are the forces that cause these huge blocks to separate and fall from the formation. Water and freezing temps. Water seeps into the initial hairline crack, freezes causing expansion of water into ice and pushes on the block, moving it away ever so slightly. Ice melts, more water enters crack, freezes, pushes block. It's referred to as freeze-thaw erosion. Eventually gravity is the greater force that tumbles the block.

Bar none, one of the best, most watchable, most exciting and most fascinating "travel" videos I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your adventure with us.

Did you report this to a local anthropology and archaeological society? This is so cool!

11 : 55 when you walked whew.. i feel sooo dizzy.. iam feeling i was there doing the leaping.

When thinking about the geological processes, the time scales involved. Starts to blow my mind. Those boulders that look like they’re on the edge. Could be sitting there for the next hundred thousand-million years. Our life span is barely a blip.

[@simonaarflot4743]

I agree, but the fact that they are so high up goes to show how quickly the landscape from the plateau is raising. The sheer energy potential that forces water and salt down the cracks, yet dry so they remain for soo long. Insanity. Mesa mountains never cease to amaze.

Though I don't deny the obvious fact that there are geologic processes at work here, it would be a misnomer to state that these rock formations are natural or geologically formed. Clearly, these mirror the ancient megaliths found the world over from Egypt, South and Central America, Central Asia, China, Greece,... Even Vietnam. This is one of the most incredible sites I've ever seen, to be honest. You had not only evidence of ancient stonework of cutting out giant symmetrically perfect cubes from the hillside, but also a dolmen head, at the same site. And you also had ancient hieroglyphs. This site is absolutely fantastic. These are not ancient American Indians, these are pre younger dryas impact event megalithic structures... Unknown in both date and origin. But that impact event was 12,800 years ago. And it ended the ice age, in a virtual blink of the eye. These particular megaliths, with the dolmen head, could literally be hundreds of thousands of years old. Check out chimney Rock in North Carolina. Similar views and almost all cases.

Exactly. So while I understand there are a multitude of geological processes that could create these formations, I dont think its completely insane to believe that wayyy before modern recorded history this was some type of quarry. Regardless its still cool to think about at least.

This video made me remember how much curiosity and wonder I felt when I was a kid going on hikes, and how much I wanted to be archeologist. We all need to find time like you do, to go out and explore more.

[@ellinlukman3181]

OMG .. me too ….❤

[@poneyfeathersart1442]

Bro gave me anxiety squeezing between those blocks. Lol!!

[@DrissDaief-kv7zg]

Thanks for the vidéo.. Those blocs are the same at the pyramide construction..!!..isn't it??..oh my god ..good continuation and courage..

[@evoxpop2088]

Yes, I am afraid of heights, I got butterflies in my stomach every time you point your camera down the cliff or your dog walks to the edge. Awesome site🎉 thanks for sharing🎉

[@chrystallee5528]

Me too. I had to look away. He was giving me the Willie's. Especially because, he said his friends had fled and left him alone.

[@double2mo382]

Haha! Yes, me too!

[@silvertbird1]

This was clearly the most interesting thing I’ve seen today. Had no idea such a place existed - absolutely spectacular. I live in Rockwall, Texas named for an odd and once supposedly ancient wall unearthed in the 1850s and later supposedly confirmed to be a completely natural geologic phenomenon. Perhaps what you discovered is similar but on a colossally grander scale. I love the shot where doggo is watching the drone.

[@nicklewis7291]

Thanks for sharing this on here. This is fascinating stuff. I wonder if ancient advanced people were going to make a pyramid or something. 😃
