Thank you for getting permission to film and again thank the owner. Would have loved to see this place in it's heyday. Beautiful shots of sunset and ruins...❤😊

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you for watching. Yes, it would be nice to know how it actually looked many hundreds of years ago.

[@GailSchneider-lj6wn]

I really appreciate your respect for the ruins, but also for the property owners by coordinating your access. Good on you!

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you!

[@kevincrooks639]

Many thanks to the owner for allowing you to film. I so appreciate your respect for ruins and you reinforcing the need to leave things as they are. I'm so impressed with your knowledge and analysis of what you're seeing l. I look forward to more of your adventures!

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you! Yes, I believe the most important thing you can do when visiting these sites is respect them.

[@Dlokey4315]

Nice find and great job on documenting it for everyone. Looks to me as some kind of hideout for native people or for settlers wanting protection and a place to live a while. Stay safe. ✌️😁

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you very much!

[@ChrisChris-mp1zi]

As always, your videos are done with respect to the past. You are the reason i watch. Your knowledge of the ruins and areas you visit is impressive. I wish i could go on an adventure with you someday. I look forward to your videos. ❤.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you! I appreciate your kind comments!

[@ChrisChris-mp1zi]

@ruinsandridges you're welcome.

[@CWS-h5z]

Wow.... those walls - so tall and so thick and SO well laid. It makes me wonder how many people worked to build them and how long it took. Many thanks to you and the owner for allowing this site to be filmed. Really special place.

[@ruinsandridges]

Yes, it is hard work to build a big wall like that. Thank you! I am also grateful for the owners allowing me to visit and film.

[@dawnhuso6096]

Thanks for the adventure. I can’t imagine ‘owning’ an ancient site.

[@ruinsandridges]

Many if not most of ancient sites are on private lands, so yes, many people in the American Southwest also find artifacts on their land.

[@bcbconklin]

A real fortress, for sure. Well done!

[@ruinsandridges]

Yes. Thank you!

[@TheMoofy8]

your drone sots and narration are getting quite masterful! really enjoying it!

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you very much!

[@Desertkns60]

I love that you respect and honor the current land owners as well as the ancients and encourage us all to do the same! Thank you!!!

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you very much!

[@Outrjs]

All hills and mountains are ancient giant trees from before the Biblical flood lying on their sides. Whether high, petrified, and broken by earthquakes or low, very washed out and smooth branches of a tree. A trunk of one of these trees, though small in comparison to a lot more, is Devils Tower in Wyoming. Great photography. The desert is a mythological place.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you!

[@cookiekitty8122]

Beautiful scenic still shots and videos.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thanks for letting me know!

[@Landstander-to9vh]

The little room with the banded boulder looks like it has two stone" chairs "looking out the door.@4:05

[@ruinsandridges]

Those are just modern restacked rocks. But thank you for pointing it out!

[@MikeOsborne-b7s]

Just found your channel. Love it already. Respect to you. 😊

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you so much!

[@Dawnabrat]

Thank you for sharing. Beautiful site.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you!

[@diggingarizona8592]

Been to that site several times back in the 90's. My Aunt lives nearby. Cool video.

[@ruinsandridges]

Very cool. Its an amazing site for sure. Thank you!

[@BurleyBob0010]

Outstanding young sir! You are going far man! Thank you for sharing your journeys and expertise. Learning every day!

[@ruinsandridges]

I appreciate that! Thank you!

[@davebowles1957]

Good job, well done, young man.Very interesting site. I hope you keep these finds coming because I just subscribed. I love the respect you've shown by asking permission and leaving the site undesturbed.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you! Yes, I have tons of videos filmed waiting to be posted. More cool adventures coming up!

[@labcat647]

Such an incredible site. And thank you for sharing your informative, well produced videos.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[@AudibleSounds112]

Oh how amazing to see the structure of that proportion from the sky! Great video, really enjoyed this one too. 😊

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you so much! 😀Glad you enjoyed it!

[@chippywarren9706]

That young man looks like a Fortress. Walls are huge. Very trusting of the owners and very deserved of it too. Stay safe young man. Did I see an Arch in that structure or a trick of the light?????

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you!

[@davemichelson1330]

Looks like a legit native Prescott Culture fortified site from the 1100's. The site seems like a formerly roofed room(s) and a courtyard/ activity area. I know there's a fortification element here, but I was told by veteran archaeologists that the low peaking buttes in your area have better sun exposure in winter, as well. Have I tested this theory? Not by choice, lol.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you. Yes, true, many hilltop sites are very exposed to the sun.

[@garytull7730]

Interesting site and well documented, thank you for taking the time to do this. Notice at about the 4 minute mark it looks like a pair of "chairs" and a "table", seem to be quite modern for this location. Thanks for being respectful, take only pictures and leave only footprints.

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you so much! Those are just rocks someone placed like that in modern times.

[@KennonSmith-do8os]

I always wonder when you see walls partially collapsed if the area has been seismically active was it natural forces or man that cause it. What do you think.

[@ruinsandridges]

Usually just from cows, or humans, or just collapsing from snow and weather changes I would think.

[@maryannereed5525]

amazing video!!!!!! :) :) :)

[@ruinsandridges]

Glad you liked it! Thank you! 👍

[@michaelfoley6670]

Great video! I’m surprised you didn’t come across any rock art. Thanks for sharing! Please tell buddy I’m a subscriber now, WOOF!

[@ruinsandridges]

Thanks for the sub!

[@fredmancuso7457]

Thank you for showing us these spectacular ruins

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you!

[@dianjardas11]

The owners have any idea how old,or what it was used for,and by whom,those walls would have to be done, because being up there the wind would have to be,a bloody pain,THANKS FOR THE GREAT VIDEO,S !!!

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you! No, the owners do not know. Yes, the environment is rugged, but pretty much similar to most of this part of Arizona.

[@peterhead7729]

where's Buddy?

[@ruinsandridges]

Unfortunately, buddy is getting older, and this hike would be a bit rough for him. Dogs are also not allowed in archeological sites. Hope buddy gets to join more adventures soon!

[@cynergy4]

I enjoy watching you scramble around. It helps when you don't weigh anything 😅 Very impressive ruins

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you! Scrambles are my favorite part 😆

[@williamreeder3660]

Please be careful when reaching into places where a snake could be .

[@ruinsandridges]

All rattlesnakes are hibernating right now. The temps during the night get below freezing. But in summer, I would not even consider doing this hike. Thank you for your concern.

[@jacobgates1986]

Wow amazing find. Did you find this place by Google Earth?

[@ruinsandridges]

Yes, I did. Thank you!

[@jacobgates1986]

@ruinsandridges I spend hours doing the same thing here in northern New Mexico.

[@patrisha573]

Thxs Luke

[@ruinsandridges]

Thank you!

[@toddincabo]

👍

[@iwasfloyd]

Where is your helmet???? Another great video!!

[@ruinsandridges]

This was not a dangerous climb, so I did not need a helmet. Thank you! I appreciate your concern.

[@mikelellsaesser1320]

What the heck was this used for. To tall to be a hunting blind. U couldn't really live there, on those rocks. Maybe, just a look out point, but there's no holes in the wall for that. So what heck is it.

[@ruinsandridges]

Lol, yes too large and tall for hunting blind. I do think they lived in the overhangs as there are fire marks there and pottery sherds, and the top structure also would have been a dwelling or a defensive fort.
