I discovered Impossible Geometry on Google Earth

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.

THANK YOU, for slow smooth camera panning, and no lame ass background music!
-
Fantastic footage my friend. Thank you for not adding any lame soundtrack and obscuring the magical natural sounds of that location.

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.

Not gonna lie, even if there is a perfectly reasonable geological explanation for this, those damn sure look like a quarry..

As a structural and architectural engineer I am super sensitive to geometry and you have given me the absolute best video I have ever watched....late in my 70s I can't go there to see it for myself so thank you for your great adventure
-
I know nothing of filming anything. But i see skill in the way you operate. Wonderful video. To see those petroglyphs, thank the universe for that moment

Im just pleasantly amazed that there isnt piles of garbage everywhere. Since i was a young boy i loved to explore, to see an interesting rock outcrop or geological feature and hike to it in hopes that id be the 1st person to set foot on the site and perhaps discover something incredible. Without fail, EVERY single place ive ever visited dissapointed me to find remnants of others carelessness and disrespect for nature. Broken beer bottles, cans and trash around an accompanying fire pit was all i found. It used to make me so angry that people could be so lazy and apathetic to the beauty of nature. To see such a spectacular place unmolested by careless people is so refreshing. Beautiful cinematography btw. Thank you for sharing. Youve got quite a talent.

"I can't even get to where I want to go, I just can't stop finding things." Same.

The way a log burns in a fire, then falls into separate square/rectangular pieces is what this reminds me of, just on a massive scale. Awesome find !
-
The strangest part I noticed at 6.40 into the video, the aerial view show's the background. The whole are has outlines of these pre-cut lines. Have you ever tried to ask a geologist or someone what could have caused these naturally ? I'm thinking, in Ireland there is the Giants Causeway, but they are tiny compared to these but there are over 40,000 interlocking square columns over there. This is amazing though, i'd love to have come on this adventure with you !!

6:34 The blocks are not missing. Those blocks are just turn over and slpit in to two pieces. Now they are just lie down ;) If you make a messurment horizontal side of the block that are in lower position I am almost sure that the distance will be the same as the hight of the block that you standing :)

I think these cubes weigh a LOT more than you are estimating. A cubic foot of sandstone weighs about 150 pounds. Regardless of their mass.....this is another stunning video. You are putting out some very unique and amazing content.
-
You are exactly correct! That is fossilized coral. This entire region was once an inland sea, and when Earth changes happened long ago, the land rose, the water fled to the current oceans, and what was once at the bottom of the sea is now high above the current sea level.
-
From your aerial view, it appears there's a grid pattern for quarrying stones. Megaliths in South America were often quarried from a much higher elevation and the glyphs kinda remind of Nazca. Awesome video by the way

Been a builder all my life, Stone is about the same as concrete 150 pounds per cubic foot. Some stone a little lighter , some a little heavier. The 12.5 could only be a board foot,, 12X12x1 inches 21.5X21X20 yields 9030 cubic feet, weighs 1,354,500 pounds 677.25 tons. edited,, When my comment was entered,, it landed on my screen immediately below your correction. Same answer. Thought I was seeing double for a moment. (That is the San Juan down below? Not far from Goose Neck. I have never been up on that ridge,, I have paddled the full length of the San Juan,, That cliff is visible and distinctive from below,)

Your dog getting so close to the edge and wanting to follow you is KILLING me!
-
It boggles the mind to believe this is natural. There are so many lines that look like precise cuts.

Incredible video this is something that I’ve always wondered about. I drive-through a couple times a year and it makes me so happy that somebody else shares the same curiosity and enthusiasm for what these are and why.
