While searching Google Earth, I came upon a strange symbol hidden in the desert. I hiked in to see what it was. After finding it, I followed where it pointed me, and uncovered a series of clues that led me to a stunning discovery.

This is the first Desert Drifter vid that may actually be worth watching all the way through. I'm just starting up and plan to skip most of it. As Strunk wrote, "Omit needless words! Omit needless words! Omit needless words!"

I watch this guy’s videos every week. While I question some of his logic in this one - “I can see the mountain, therefore these are all in a line” - or at least he doesn’t “prove” it with a real plot map, the glyphs were amazing. Not sure I have see that style in any of the videos the various similar folks post.

Wow.
Haven’t been here in 10 years or so, great to see you’re hanging in there!
God Bless!

my guess is an old drug dealer marker for airplanes to dump their cargo

[Fungi]

You can do better than that. That is suppose to be facetious?

Where is this?

The ancient hand swipes originally made in obviously soft mud and the became hardened, what was that? How long did it take the mud to turn solid?

Old Mail Plane marker?....................

I think those were made from poured concrete, and often included a shining tower beacon that pilots could see at night.
If it's made by modern man it would have to be drug dealers, but I kinda doubt it. The petroglyphs nearby indicate that it's Native American.

Is it an ancient marker or recent, 19th cantury or so? Should be pretty easy to determine.

Or a straight up hoax for clicks & views...

One of the few videos I’ve seen recently where I need faster than 2x speed.

Actually, this one is less insightful than many of his other ones. Found it unfulfilling.

The Trek Planner is another good channel. I love this kind of stuff.

That’s what I think as well, it was the aliens 👽.

Since they didn’t have glass blowing, they had to mark the ground to show the way to the “red light” district.
