I found Colossal, Impossible Geometry with Desert Drifter [36:52]

Transcript
0:00 · earlier this summer I learned of the existence of an immensely large block of stone in a remote Forest that has such
0:07 · incredible symmetry it appears to be carved out of the earth nothing was known about it except that it was
0:14 · composed of limestone no one knew where it came from only three photographs existed on the internet that proved it
0:21 · wasn't a myth I couldn't stop wondering where did it come from did humans have
0:26 · any role in its creation what else is out here and if it truly was almost a
0:32 · perfect Cube as these pictures made it out to be so I devised a strategy on how
0:37 · to figure it out there was just one massive hole in my plans I needed to find a way to get
0:44 · onto the top of it in the weeks leading up to my departure I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing and
0:51 · there might be someone else who knows about it so I called up Andrew AKA
0:58 · desert Drifter it just so happened that he not only knew about it but was
1:03 · planning on trying to climb up it the very same week what we found here went
1:09 · far deeper than a strangely shaped rock it is a mystery that extends beneath the Earth and far back into
1:17 · history but there was something I only noticed long after we left this place
1:23 · that revealed a crucially important detail that we somehow overlooked even though it was right under our feet F
1:30 · feet one single drone shot changed my entire perspective on this object and
1:36 · has left me wondering ever sense how was this
1:54 · possible so this is how we're going to get on top of this giant Cube
2:01 · we've got desert Drifter and Evelyn here yeah it's kind of crazy how serendipitously it all came
2:13 · about we see the Wild Desert Drifter many times lonely Wanderers have
2:21 · mistaken him for the Sasquatch
2:54 · we are starting to see this layer of limestone we got the whole boy going on
3:01 · look at this fossil that we just
3:08 · found wow it's an ammonite I'm pretty
3:20 · sure so we are currently
3:27 · listening is a big that is the corner of the cube and at the top of the hill
3:34 · we're hearing these elk Andrew's going to try to sneak up and get close
3:49 · [Music]
4:01 · [Music]
4:06 · [Music] see it just past that tree
4:12 · there what the
4:27 · heck look at this thing
4:43 · wow this is
4:55 · massive it's a huge chunk of limestone
5:11 · oh yeah I see bolts right there yeah there's a bunch so one of the features
5:16 · of this rock that caught my eye are these eroded
5:22 · lines and you can see a couple more up there
5:49 · okay the more colorful it is the safer totally it's a pretty epic route up the
5:57 · corner what would you rate this at it's hard to say 58 59 maybe yeah it's
6:04 · hard to say till you're really on it it's going salt blink yes sir okay let's
6:09 · do it see you tuy this rock is a little crumbly here
6:17 · oo heads up Rock
6:41 · ohy did you want to get the Drone in yeah bu two
6:46 · seconds all right
6:53 · [Music]
7:04 · [Music]
7:23 · clipping woo yeah wow this is awesome look at this
7:32 · thing
7:45 · insane C it's quite impressive
8:01 · H these nuts need to be tightened the bolts itself are a little bit
8:19 · [Music]
8:28 · sus all
8:38 · all
8:49 · right here's Nolan about to top out Evelyn and tuille are hanging out down
8:55 · there
9:05 · woohoo let's go wow that was fun thanks
9:28 · Evelyn for
10:34 · and you through two hard points Evelyn
10:57 · yeah this side the cube and then the opposite side of the cube have a very
11:03 · rough sort of unrefined look when you get to the top here it's pretty darn
11:10 · smooth and this side right here the overhanging ledge
11:16 · pretty pretty smooth as well and has a bit more of a black varnish on
11:23 · it we have brought a 100ft tape measure to measure the top Evelyn
11:30 · s this side careful on the edge right mhm so if this Cube turns out to have
11:37 · four equidistant
11:44 · sides all right 50 ft on the money W yeah 50 ft
11:51 · exactly 50 ft on the money look at that wow he's got a Big Tuna
12:04 · 41 ft and 8 in h so not perfectly
12:10 · cubular bummer I got excited there for a
12:16 · second 54 right there
12:21 · 54 40 5 and 1/2 ft what do we conclude from
12:27 · this were pretty close to making it a and
12:33 · then they got tired okay so its dimensions are 50 ft by 42 ft by 54 ft by 45.5 ft flying the
12:43 · Drone from the base to the top I assess that it's about 60 ft tall this is when it becomes apparent
12:51 · that this object is not like a cube whatsoever it is much closer to a
12:56 · rectangular Leaning Tower the weight of Dolomite Limestone per cubic foot is about 170
13:03 · lb which means this thing roughly weighs about 23 million lb 11,500 tons or
13:12 · 10,433 kg which is about the weight of a small cruise ship but what I still didn't
13:20 · understand is how a 23 million pound block of stone came to exist in the middle of a forest 0 de perfect y
13:30 · angle measure there's a lot of different angles on this Cliff but this one looks
13:37 · the nicest
13:44 · okay 92.9 de what does this mean wait try a little
13:51 · further closer to me science
13:59 · 80 he dropped it oh wow we're way
14:11 · off how uh holding
14:17 · onb okay clearly I was starting to feel a bit silly for trying to use such a tiny angle measure on such a gargantuan
14:25 · object ultimately I think it's pretty apparent that this is remarkably close to having 90° angles on many of the
14:33 · sides of
14:49 · it for example compare it to the right angle on your YouTube
14:55 · window it is important to note that while exceedingly rare it is possible for 90° angles to appear
15:02 · in nature this is most clearly demonstrated by pyite
15:08 · crystals and strangest of all wombat poop okay definitely not a perfect CU
15:15 · but still how crazy is
15:26 · that yeah yep that's
15:32 · cool see how you you feel it on your harness now yep so now you're you're Cruiser
15:50 · now couple hours later our mission is partially finished
16:01 · all right Nolan's going to go into this cave here some of the blocks I
16:08 · found they have a layer underneath cuz they don't actually fall flush with the ground so we're going to see how far it
16:14 · goes oh man yeah I got to go ahead first I think you have to no head
16:22 · lamp actually kind of opens up a lot
16:32 · whoa whoa what it's kind of like a cave or
16:40 · something no way yeah yeah well don't do it to we don't do it oh
16:48 · my whoa there's a lot of
16:55 · bugs a lot all right so that is the
17:03 · entrance this is the first chamber and right on top of us is the entire
17:11 · block look at
17:18 · that oh my God yeah well I'm not going in
17:25 · there hi buddy all right I'm coming back out I could easily go down into this
17:30 · thing but I oh my okay
17:37 · oh my okay what oh
17:42 · yeah what' you see I don't know but there's water down there and I heard a
17:49 · splash of water and then something moved Mountain line no I don't think so
17:56 · it's probably like a big gopher or something there were tons of like rat and mice
18:17 · droppings it's almost like what you would see people's flooring made out of it Lim
18:23 · [Music] Stone wow look at this all
18:29 · yeah it's weird weird
18:35 · rock looks like lizard scales cool
18:44 · rock Chasm that's
18:55 · cool it feels sketchy
19:00 · yeah there's barely anything supporting this giant block of Earth
19:07 · from falling down there's Fisher like that runs almost the entire way around
19:25 · it there's a very good chance it came from right here and you can kind of see a path of debris leading right down to
19:32 · where it would have [Music] rolled using Google Earth from before
19:40 · this trip I had spotted this Gap in the cliffs in a path of Destruction from
19:45 · above clearly it had rolled down these cliffs in what must have been an incredibly catastrophic event before
19:53 · coming to rest at the bottom
20:01 · I measured these Cliffs to be around 60 ft tall which also supported my belief that the block came from here but I was
20:09 · surprised to see that the cliffs had clearly rounded eroded edges in a far
20:16 · darker coloration nowhere on the Block even the
20:22 · underside looked anything like this
20:29 · the traditional geologic explanation for this type of erosional pattern is best described as the process of tensional
20:37 · fractures creating joint sets underneath this Hillside lays
20:43 · hundreds more of these rectangular blocks now imagine you were there to see
20:48 · this block come down the energy expended of a 23 million PB block of limestone
20:54 · falling 100 ft is over 3.12 billion jewles equivalent to roughly 746,000 lb
21:02 · of TNT it probably blasted away a large amount of the trees nearby with
21:08 · Limestone shrapnel and could have been heard for miles and miles in all
21:13 · directions this is also when I realized something about the way that it
21:18 · came to rest at the bottom is so truly remarkable it almost
21:24 · seems intentional
21:33 · [Music]
21:47 · directly due north is this way so imagine that right corner of the cube is
21:53 · facing directly due north when I said this I didn't even realize how true it was was every corner of this Cube was
22:01 · pointing in every one of the four cardinal directions almost perfectly and
22:07 · still that Revelation pales in comparison with what I realized about
22:12 · this structure long after we had all parted ways it does make you
22:18 · wonder so as we're standing here just looking out over this vast
22:23 · expanse you know this would be a pretty incredible place to drive Wild Wildlife
22:29 · through this Valley and these Cliffs create a natural barrier on these rocks some of the most
22:35 · incredible looking Moss we have ever seen it's like heads of broccoli down
22:43 · there there's a stacked K right here potentially where the sun's going to
22:49 · drop you see how there's kind of this like shallow indentation here the one of the
22:56 · other tribes that uh frequented this area a lot are the crow the crows in particular were known for making these
23:02 · fasting beds they called them so they would go on these Vision quests and they would build these small enclosures and
23:09 · then it was like just enough space for a man on a vision quest to lay down there
23:14 · and fast and he would often stay there until he had you know received whatever Vision um that he expected to
23:22 · receive this is obviously a natural indentation is this K just somebody
23:29 · thought you know hey I'm going to build it here it looks cool or is this a prehistoric can and this was sort of
23:37 · commemorating you know somebody's fasting bed here you know I don't know
23:42 · but that was something I thought of as well in addition to the the game drive line that you were talking about noan no
23:48 · matter what time you live as a human being you are going to look at something like this and being complete awe of it
23:54 · it kind of connects you with the human beings that may have been here for thousands of
24:01 · years wow this is a cool view of the here it actually looks like broccoli
24:07 · almost yeah it's exactly what Andrew said wow that's amazing I need to find
24:12 · out what species that
24:22 · is that is a statue a monolith
24:29 · dude there's like Edge over here oh my gosh this could definitely be like a
24:34 · camp spot it makes me
24:40 · wonder you know are there overhangs back there
24:50 · honly yeah
25:04 · a human life is but a blink of an eye compared with the eons in which these
25:10 · rocks will remain standing imagine you are an ancient human being that has lived a long life
25:17 · traversing across endless mountains and forests believing you had seen
25:23 · everything and then one day you walk into an open clear clearing and witness
25:30 · this sight before
25:36 · you how would you react to seeing something so immense and strange
25:43 · looking would you tell your friends and family about what you had found and maybe set up camp here would you try to
25:50 · find a way onto the top of it to gain a strategic position or would you celebrate its
25:57 · beauty its strangeness either way it would leave an impression on your mind
26:03 · the very same that I have felt that would remain long after you resumed your
26:09 · wandering to never find it
26:18 · again so I just keeping my eyes peeled we're kind of down in the bottom of the valley you know next to uh there's a
26:24 · little creek down here and I saw this it's actually just sitting on a rock and
26:30 · it's all fractured and broken but I mean there's clearly a worked edge here it's
26:36 · defin I mean there's no doubt about it you can see both both sides how it was sharpened now whether it was some kind
26:43 · of projectile point or a knife you know it's way too broken up to tell here's the other other side of it but yeah you
26:49 · know the tip would have come up here the base somewhere down there but you know
26:55 · just goes to show this Valley was I undoubtedly inhabited and you know
27:00 · probably the nomadic tribes came in and out of it came up here in the summertime and went down to lower elevations during
27:07 · the winter
27:36 · in
28:06 · actually brought my headlamp this time so I don't have any excuses as a reminder I am mildly claustrophobic I'd
28:27 · say there's just chasms in the ground
28:33 · here oh my gosh oh my gosh it just keeps
28:44 · going hey just trying to assess if there's
28:49 · anything living inside of here this
29:14 · oh my God it keeps going I just heard that rock fall so far
29:38 · I think I hear water down there so maybe it connects to a Cave
29:45 · System yeah I definitely hear water dripping
29:54 · [Music]
30:01 · but it looks like it gets pretty narrow so that's my excuse to turn
30:09 · around right here listen you can hear the
30:17 · water yeah time to get out
30:49 · this is a chir flake from when they would be creating an
30:56 · arrowhead and I've seen these a couple different spots around here leave them where they lie so really I do feel
31:04 · it strongly points towards this clearing being or a place of habitation for humans these rocks are amazing kind of
31:11 · look like uh oyster mushrooms
31:35 · that is wild I thought I had it figured out the
31:43 · process of the Block's violent fall to the Earth was the proverbial hand that sculpted
31:49 · it as it rolled down its outer softer layers of limestone were crushed
31:54 · fractured and then flung into the air by the rotation energy of the Rolling Block
32:00 · the amorphus larger block that started at the top lost its rounded outside
32:06 · layers during the violent tumble and only the newer smoother wider core of
32:11 · the block remained at the bottom of the cliff sort of like peeling an onion upon
32:16 · closer inspection its surface is quite bumpy which points against human
32:23 · design it was only a month later after having looked at these shots countless
32:30 · times sitting at my computer did I find a shot that I hadn't
32:35 · looked at I realized something and my mind was
32:41 · blown there was something off about the corner we had been so fixated on the
32:49 · appearance of a square at the top of the block that we had missed the forest through the
32:54 · trees the northeastern Corner was missing meaning at one point in the past
33:03 · the block would have been far more symmetrical like a perfect Cube but flat
33:09 · on one side almost outside of the realm of belief it was almost as if the lowest
33:17 · and nearest to the ground Corner had been cut away to create an easier way up
33:23 · we had been literally Standing On Top of the perfect symmetry we had been searching for and not even known
33:30 · it Andrew and I had been thinking about it all wrong we had not been standing on the top of
33:36 · it we had been standing on the side of it
34:10 · so there are currently wildfires everywhere Across the Western United States the sunsets when they're
34:17 · passing through a layer of smoke do turn out very beautiful
34:35 · all right good morning we have returned just as impressive as I
34:41 · remember the lighting has been a challenge when filming this the sides are pretty dark and the top of it is
34:48 · such a bright white color
35:06 · so when I first saw this Object online I
35:13 · thought I I came up with this theory that perhaps what monoliths
35:19 · are are a combination of natural and
35:25 · man-made perhaps nature did most of the work when it comes to sculpting and
35:31 · shaping the incredibly huge blocks but then what if humans found those
35:36 · blocks and were so struck by the Beauty and the Symmetry that they decided to go
35:41 · the extra step and continue shaping and enhancing that
35:47 · symmetry you know smoothing over those bumps and creating what ultimately looks
35:54 · like a perfect geometrically shaped object I don't think this is the case with this one I think this is a random
36:01 · chance creation somehow this thing did not break into a million pieces when it fell off the cliff somehow it landed
36:09 · just so perfectly and somehow through a bunch of luck this thing came to exist
36:16 · what do you think

2:13	·	about we see the Wild Desert Drifter many times lonely Wanderers have
2:21	·	mistaken him for the Sasquatch
2:54	·	we are starting to see this layer of limestone we got the whole boy going on

4:43	·	wow this is
4:55	·	massive it's a huge chunk of limestone
5:11	·	oh yeah I see bolts right there yeah there's a bunch so one of the features

6:09	·	do it see you tuy this rock is a little crumbly here
6:17	·	oo heads up Rock
6:41	·	ohy did you want to get the Drone in yeah bu two
6:46	·	seconds all right
6:53	·	[Music]
7:04	·	[Music]
7:23	·	clipping woo yeah wow this is awesome look at this
7:32	·	thing
7:45	·	insane C it's quite impressive
8:01	·	H these nuts need to be tightened the bolts itself are a little bit
8:19	·	[Music]
8:28	·	sus all
8:38	·	all
8:49	·	right here's Nolan about to top out Evelyn and tuille are hanging out down
8:55	·	there
9:05	·	woohoo let's go wow that was fun thanks
9:28	·	Evelyn for
10:34	·	and you through two hard points Evelyn
10:57	·	yeah this side the cube and then the opposite side of the cube have a very

11:23	·	it we have brought a 100ft tape measure to measure the top Evelyn
11:30	·	s this side careful on the edge right mhm so if this Cube turns out to have
11:37	·	four equidistant
11:44	·	sides all right 50 ft on the money W yeah 50 ft
11:51	·	exactly 50 ft on the money look at that wow he's got a Big Tuna
12:04	·	41 ft and 8 in h so not perfectly
12:10	·	cubular bummer I got excited there for a
12:16	·	second 54 right there

15:15	·	but still how crazy is
15:26	·	that yeah yep that's
15:32	·	cool see how you you feel it on your harness now yep so now you're you're Cruiser
15:50	·	now couple hours later our mission is partially finished
16:01	·	all right Nolan's going to go into this cave here some of the blocks I
16:08	·	found they have a layer underneath cuz they don't actually fall flush with the ground so we're going to see how far it
16:14	·	goes oh man yeah I got to go ahead first I think you have to no head
16:22	·	lamp actually kind of opens up a lot
16:32	·	whoa whoa what it's kind of like a cave or
16:40	·	something no way yeah yeah well don't do it to we don't do it oh
16:48	·	my whoa there's a lot of
16:55	·	bugs a lot all right so that is the
17:03	·	entrance this is the first chamber and right on top of us is the entire
17:11	·	block look at
17:18	·	that oh my God yeah well I'm not going in
17:25	·	there hi buddy all right I'm coming back out I could easily go down into this
17:30	·	thing but I oh my okay
17:37	·	oh my okay what oh
17:42	·	yeah what' you see I don't know but there's water down there and I heard a
17:49	·	splash of water and then something moved Mountain line no I don't think so
17:56	·	it's probably like a big gopher or something there were tons of like rat and mice
18:17	·	droppings it's almost like what you would see people's flooring made out of it Lim
18:23	·	[Music] Stone wow look at this all
18:29	·	yeah it's weird weird
18:35	·	rock looks like lizard scales cool
18:44	·	rock Chasm that's
18:55	·	cool it feels sketchy
19:00	·	yeah there's barely anything supporting this giant block of Earth
19:07	·	from falling down there's Fisher like that runs almost the entire way around
19:25	·	it there's a very good chance it came from right here and you can kind of see a path of debris leading right down to
19:32	·	where it would have [Music] rolled using Google Earth from before
19:40	·	this trip I had spotted this Gap in the cliffs in a path of Destruction from
19:45	·	above clearly it had rolled down these cliffs in what must have been an incredibly catastrophic event before
19:53	·	coming to rest at the bottom
20:01	·	I measured these Cliffs to be around 60 ft tall which also supported my belief that the block came from here but I was
20:09	·	surprised to see that the cliffs had clearly rounded eroded edges in a far
20:16	·	darker coloration nowhere on the Block even the
20:22	·	underside looked anything like this
20:29	·	the traditional geologic explanation for this type of erosional pattern is best described as the process of tensional
20:37	·	fractures creating joint sets underneath this Hillside lays
20:43	·	hundreds more of these rectangular blocks now imagine you were there to see
20:48	·	this block come down the energy expended of a 23 million PB block of limestone
20:54	·	falling 100 ft is over 3.12 billion jewles equivalent to roughly 746,000 lb
21:02	·	of TNT it probably blasted away a large amount of the trees nearby with
21:08	·	Limestone shrapnel and could have been heard for miles and miles in all
21:13	·	directions this is also when I realized something about the way that it
21:18	·	came to rest at the bottom is so truly remarkable it almost
21:24	·	seems intentional
21:33	·	[Music]
21:47	·	directly due north is this way so imagine that right corner of the cube is
21:53	·	facing directly due north when I said this I didn't even realize how true it was was every corner of this Cube was
22:01	·	pointing in every one of the four cardinal directions almost perfectly and
22:07	·	still that Revelation pales in comparison with what I realized about
22:12	·	this structure long after we had all parted ways it does make you
22:18	·	wonder so as we're standing here just looking out over this vast
22:23	·	expanse you know this would be a pretty incredible place to drive Wild Wildlife
22:29	·	through this Valley and these Cliffs create a natural barrier on these rocks some of the most
22:35	·	incredible looking Moss we have ever seen it's like heads of broccoli down
22:43	·	there there's a stacked K right here potentially where the sun's going to
22:49	·	drop you see how there's kind of this like shallow indentation here the one of the
22:56	·	other tribes that uh frequented this area a lot are the crow the crows in particular were known for making these
23:02	·	fasting beds they called them so they would go on these Vision quests and they would build these small enclosures and
23:09	·	then it was like just enough space for a man on a vision quest to lay down there
23:14	·	and fast and he would often stay there until he had you know received whatever Vision um that he expected to
23:22	·	receive this is obviously a natural indentation is this K just somebody
23:29	·	thought you know hey I'm going to build it here it looks cool or is this a prehistoric can and this was sort of
23:37	·	commemorating you know somebody's fasting bed here you know I don't know
23:42	·	but that was something I thought of as well in addition to the the game drive line that you were talking about noan no
23:48	·	matter what time you live as a human being you are going to look at something like this and being complete awe of it
23:54	·	it kind of connects you with the human beings that may have been here for thousands of
24:01	·	years wow this is a cool view of the here it actually looks like broccoli
24:07	·	almost yeah it's exactly what Andrew said wow that's amazing I need to find
24:12	·	out what species that
24:22	·	is that is a statue a monolith
24:29	·	dude there's like Edge over here oh my gosh this could definitely be like a
24:34	·	camp spot it makes me
24:40	·	wonder you know are there overhangs back there
24:50	·	honly yeah
25:04	·	a human life is but a blink of an eye compared with the eons in which these
25:10	·	rocks will remain standing imagine you are an ancient human being that has lived a long life
25:17	·	traversing across endless mountains and forests believing you had seen
25:23	·	everything and then one day you walk into an open clear clearing and witness
25:30	·	this sight before
25:36	·	you how would you react to seeing something so immense and strange
25:43	·	looking would you tell your friends and family about what you had found and maybe set up camp here would you try to
25:50	·	find a way onto the top of it to gain a strategic position or would you celebrate its
25:57	·	beauty its strangeness either way it would leave an impression on your mind
26:03	·	the very same that I have felt that would remain long after you resumed your
26:09	·	wandering to never find it
26:18	·	again so I just keeping my eyes peeled we're kind of down in the bottom of the valley you know next to uh there's a
26:24	·	little creek down here and I saw this it's actually just sitting on a rock and
26:30	·	it's all fractured and broken but I mean there's clearly a worked edge here it's
26:36	·	defin I mean there's no doubt about it you can see both both sides how it was sharpened now whether it was some kind
26:43	·	of projectile point or a knife you know it's way too broken up to tell here's the other other side of it but yeah you
26:49	·	know the tip would have come up here the base somewhere down there but you know
26:55	·	just goes to show this Valley was I undoubtedly inhabited and you know
27:00	·	probably the nomadic tribes came in and out of it came up here in the summertime and went down to lower elevations during
27:07	·	the winter
27:36	·	in
28:06	·	actually brought my headlamp this time so I don't have any excuses as a reminder I am mildly claustrophobic I'd
28:27	·	say there's just chasms in the ground
28:33	·	here oh my gosh oh my gosh it just keeps
28:44	·	going hey just trying to assess if there's
28:49	·	anything living inside of here this
29:14	·	oh my God it keeps going I just heard that rock fall so far
29:38	·	I think I hear water down there so maybe it connects to a Cave
29:45	·	System yeah I definitely hear water dripping
29:54	·	[Music]
30:01	·	but it looks like it gets pretty narrow so that's my excuse to turn
30:09	·	around right here listen you can hear the
30:17	·	water yeah time to get out
30:49	·	this is a chir flake from when they would be creating an
30:56	·	arrowhead and I've seen these a couple different spots around here leave them where they lie so really I do feel
31:04	·	it strongly points towards this clearing being or a place of habitation for humans these rocks are amazing kind of
31:11	·	look like uh oyster mushrooms
31:35	·	that is wild I thought I had it figured out the
31:43	·	process of the Block's violent fall to the Earth was the proverbial hand that sculpted
31:49	·	it as it rolled down its outer softer layers of limestone were crushed
31:54	·	fractured and then flung into the air by the rotation energy of the Rolling Block
32:00	·	the amorphus larger block that started at the top lost its rounded outside
32:06	·	layers during the violent tumble and only the newer smoother wider core of
32:11	·	the block remained at the bottom of the cliff sort of like peeling an onion upon
32:16	·	closer inspection its surface is quite bumpy which points against human
32:23	·	design it was only a month later after having looked at these shots countless
32:30	·	times sitting at my computer did I find a shot that I hadn't
32:35	·	looked at I realized something and my mind was
32:41	·	blown there was something off about the corner we had been so fixated on the
32:49	·	appearance of a square at the top of the block that we had missed the forest through the
32:54	·	trees the northeastern Corner was missing meaning at one point in the past
33:03	·	the block would have been far more symmetrical like a perfect Cube but flat
33:09	·	on one side almost outside of the realm of belief it was almost as if the lowest
33:17	·	and nearest to the ground Corner had been cut away to create an easier way up
33:23	·	we had been literally Standing On Top of the perfect symmetry we had been searching for and not even known
33:30	·	it Andrew and I had been thinking about it all wrong we had not been standing on the top of
33:36	·	it we had been standing on the side of it
34:10	·	so there are currently wildfires everywhere Across the Western United States the sunsets when they're
34:17	·	passing through a layer of smoke do turn out very beautiful
34:35	·	all right good morning we have returned just as impressive as I
34:41	·	remember the lighting has been a challenge when filming this the sides are pretty dark and the top of it is
34:48	·	such a bright white color
35:06	·	so when I first saw this Object online I
35:13	·	thought I I came up with this theory that perhaps what monoliths
35:19	·	are are a combination of natural and
35:25	·	man-made perhaps nature did most of the work when it comes to sculpting and
35:31	·	shaping the incredibly huge blocks but then what if humans found those
35:36	·	blocks and were so struck by the Beauty and the Symmetry that they decided to go
35:41	·	the extra step and continue shaping and enhancing that
35:47	·	symmetry you know smoothing over those bumps and creating what ultimately looks
35:54	·	like a perfect geometrically shaped object I don't think this is the case with this one I think this is a random
36:01	·	chance creation somehow this thing did not break into a million pieces when it fell off the cliff somehow it landed
36:09	·	just so perfectly and somehow through a bunch of luck this thing came to exist
36:16	·	what do you think
