‘Scientoids’
Apachango Impressions of the Geo-Metaphysic: Mesa, Arizona, 4/16/25

James,
Take a think about anything you want to see in Arizona. Let me know if you have your cerebrum on anything in particular or if there is some place you want to see that may aid your writing. I will do my best to get ya looking at that place.
Arizona is a pretty psychedelic place if you look past the mileages of strip malls and folded in half fentheads. I've been cogitating this part of earth for a while and it's more than it seems.
Arizona has been purported by scienctoids to have been covered by a sea at different points in time. Their explanation for this is glacial melting and then for some reason the waters recede. This landscape is so harsh and peppered with all sorts of differing rock formations, waterways, rock varnishes and more that I think this whole area was part of a giant cataclysm.
First of all along I40 that runs through Flagstaff to ABQ there are a string of anomalies. There is the Grand Canyon, lava cave, a mile wide meteor crater and the petrified forest all almost on a line. Above and below that line are Sedona and up north there is Arches National Monument (both red rock areas full of iron). Second much of the rocks have what scientoids call "rock varnish" which a layer on rocks that appears burnt. Next there are areas where it is obvious that large volumes of water flowed in extremely high volumes for long periods of time as evidenced by canyons with smoothed rock 30 plus feet up on the sides. Most of these areas have a small trickle remaining of what must have been powerful rivers. Note that many of the areas have water at some point in the year but then completely dry up. It appears that some of these areas still have water running underground since aspen or species in the aspen family can be observed from high points as growing along dry waterways. I suspect some of the water flow in these areas is due to underground aquifers being filled or empty due to farming utilizing most of the h20 (UAE guys have farms here to raise hay for their horses which is water intensive and has caused some hubbub for farmers). Lastly much of central to west Arizona is an inactive volcanic field.
There are some people who speculate that the Grand Canyon was a result of Noah's flood. While possible, I speculate it was a result of the area being burnt to a crisp probably in a huge plasma event. There is a neat yt channel titled The Thunderbolt Project where they show in a small scale how plasma arcing can rip the earth open just like the Grand Canyon. Additionally they show that plasma arc take the form of many of the ancient petroglyphs. These petroglyphs are etched into the rock varnish layer.
Scientoids have had trouble figuring out what the rock varnish is and what creates it. The current hypothesis is that it is a mix of organic material and dust that settles on rocks creating one thin layer every 1000 years. They think that Indians used rocks to chip away the layer of varnish to create the glyphs. Note I am speculating here but I have seen many of the plasma arc glyphs and from the first time I saw them, they looked etched in, not chipped. Some of the glyphs of horses etc look chipped but the glyph ones look more etched. The edges are of these glyphs are uniform and the etching normally goes to a uniform depth. Seems pretty tough to do with a flint rock tomahawk. Scienctoids state that the petroglyphs are "probably" a calendar or tell others that there are animals to hunt in the area. Put yourself in the shoes of an Indian during that time. You know where animals are as hunting is passed down orally. People don't need a rock to tell them where to hunt. Secondly seasons are normal cycle so is there really a reason to put so much effort into chipping away day after day to tell some other hunters that its summer in arizona? The scientoids answers seem stupid to a desert rock wanderer. Now if they witnessed a huge plasma event that wiped out the land and most of its inhabitants...well that would be worth noting. Note that the plasma glyphs are the same all over the world indicating, if this speculation is correct, of a world wide cataclysm. Velicovsky style. Bible style.
The Thunderbolt Project speculates that petrifaction, the process of petrifying things can happen instantly as a result of plasma. So the petrified national forest in north east AZ now makes sense with the Grand Canyon getting ripped open. They state that in this process gold and jеwels can encrust the thing being petrified. I wonder if all the placer gold, that which is on top of the earth, was a result of this process....this is what started the gold rush in the late 1800s. Everybody seems to know of the value of gold yet no one ever used it?

I am not sure what to make of Meteor Crater. It is huge and people used to be allowed to wander the crater freely. Now one can only observe from a distance. Nasa dug a hole to study something in the bottom so something is up with this thing. The scientoid view is that a meteor fell and created a crater that is perfectly round. In the process of the impact diamonds were created. These diamonds used to be able to be found all over the ground there. Note that the process of petrifaction may in theory create diamonds etc. That the crater is perfectly round makes an uneducated person like me wonder...wouldn't it be at an angle as it seems unlikely that it hit at a perfect 90 degrees? But i don't know. Suffice to say that this whole strip had some wild event or series of events unfold.
Across the USA and the world there are buildings we are told were built in a year out with huge amounts of granite that was often mined hundreds of miles away and carried supposedly by horse and cart to craftsmen who, without the use of powertools created astounding architecture. Many of the "architects" were in their 20's with no previous experience....and no pictures of the process of building exist for most of these structures. The thing to note is that these buildings are few and far between in Arizona. I think there was a world's fair type exhibit in Salt Lake City but not much in Arizona from what I've seen but that is only from observation. I will keep my eyes out. The point I am getting at is that this area seems to have been wrecked at some point.
The Thunderbolt project also has a video on how plasma could cause soil to liquify and arc creating natural bridges like "Devil's Bridge" in Sedona or those found in Arches National Monument.
The water here and disappearing, the varnish, the petrified wood, the gems in the earth (diamonds? also there are areas in the 4 Peaks area that one can kick over rocks and find amethysts), the volcanic fields the pockmarked landscape all in my opinion point toward a cataclysm.
Now lets get weird. Mount Graham is a sacred mountain to 5 tribes out here, amonst them the Apache. They say that gods came down from the sky there and taught them things. The Vatican rolled up and took the mountain. There was a long court case with the Vatican arguing that because the Apache didn't have churches or altars on the mountain that it cannot be sacred to them. The devils won and put a telescope on the mountain nicknamed Lucifer.
This mirrors the Biblical Genesis 6/Enoch event of the watchers coming down and banging ladies. I suspect Quartz Peak had something like this happen too as it is a peak south west of Phoenix that is covered in quartz on the top only. No other peaks are covered like this. It is truly bizarre. But that's just wild speculation. So we got the devils with a telescope watching for the return of the devils on a mountain which has more light pollution than others in the area...but they demanded this one. They also only let people on the top with a permit at certain appointed times. Creeps do what creeps do.
Now travel with me to the Hopi land. I inadvertently stumbled on a Hopi religious celebration on one of the Mesas. White folk aren't usually allowed up there...it's a long story I think I told you at one point which isn't particularly relevant except for a few points. I don't want to write too much about that encounter but there were representations of snake people and the Katchinas got me thinking. Most Katchinas are human animal chimeras. Human animal hybrids. This is the realm of what the watchers were doing. Changing genetics. And here we are with scientoids changing genetics.
Now to the snake people and Babel. Hopi legend has it that all the tribes spoke the same language then something happened. I can't remember if it was Hopi or another tribe that said that someone tried to raid heaven. Anyway the Hopi legend says that they were dispersed and fighting with each other so a bird from God came over and helped them decide to have different languages for the tribes. Overnight this happened and they no longer spoke the same language. Now they were looking for an area to live in. They were in an area in Arizona but had to leave because the snake people lived underground there. They decided they wanted to leave this realm and sent a bird up to find the hole in the sky to leave. The first bird said he found it but it was too high. They sent bird after bird each trying to get to the portal in the sky but failing. So the Hopi gave up and found their land. So this is basically an iteration of the tower of Babel story. I am interested in the underground snake people story but haven't found more info yet.
There are lots of caverns but most are pretty secret. One can join a caving group and over time if you aren't a dickhead they will take you to some hidden caves (because many are on BLM land so they are technically accessible to all). Katchner Caverns is one that was found by some college guys who looked for certain things (hill full of occatillo bushes that signify water drainage) and a sinkhole indicating something under is hollow). Anyway they found one that had the remains of a giant sloth. You can visit the cave today. But this sloth they call a "ground sloth" because they say it just walked around. It is the size of a volkswagon bug and weighed a ton or so. Seems pretty odd that a sloth would survive unless there were trees of a giant nature out there. I suspect this was the case. Maybe there were giant trees?
There are people speculating that Monument Valley and other areas are remnants of giant trees. Here is a little over the top video with this...
Verse 2 states that the angels (fallen) labored at the trees which sounds like cutting them down. If you read further you will see that the bad boi angels are put in "the valley" and there are mountains of gold, silver, metal and tin. All of which are found in Arizona. Additionally the greater Phoenix area is termed "the valley." Also note that there were great waterways here and even out in the small town of Coolidge made by ancients. These waterways were so precise that when modern engineers sought to get the canals going again they found that the old waterways were perfect and used them. Also of interest is that the city built upon the bones of a previous civilization is called Phoenix. As in the phoenix that will rise from the ash.
Now consider that much of the land in Arizona is federal BLM land. I wonder what would be found if there were archaeological excavations? I think the use of federal lands and especially "Wilderness areas" is a way to keep some things under wraps. Two Wilderness areas I know of have ruins on them, running water and are oases. We can trek them but especially in Wilderness areas the state says stay on the path and don't diverge.
So maybe this is a Biblical land. We have legends of the watchers coming down, human animal hybrids, underground snake people, mountains of gold silver and tin, evidence of a cataclysm(s?), ancient advanced societies and so on.
Some things to think about when you come to this land. As an aside I was deep in Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian the first time I moved here. I was coming across I10 in 120 degree heat thinking what manner of hell is this and how did the real guys that McCarthy based the story on live and traverse such murderous climate on horse...as I tried to crank up the ac that was already at 10. Blood Meridian gets the essence of this area.
Banjo

Banjo, thank you so much for these interesting observations. You are willing t discuss things that most people regard as taboo. Most people that see Big Foot will not speak of it. If you did, you would. You are a cool observer even when busy. When we were sparring together three years ago in Jersey and the cops started rolling up, I did not have to say a thing, confident that you saw them, even though you did not turn your head. You then kept your head and we made our way.
I mention that as a story, that most people I tell disbelive. No, no way that seven cop cars, 3 county and 4 park police, rolled up on two self degense practitioners training alone, out of the way, in a park. Why, how would they be able to take time out of their busy day protecting and serving the innocent?
I trust your observations because you have no bullshit in you, have, through your quiet, blunt honesty lost much that humans vale in life. Also, I note that the explanations that you describe are standard science babble to explain why the world is a perfectly lineal safe place with no natural cycles that can harm humanity.
Science is a lie.
God, gods & angels, devils & demons are real.
I suggest that the Tower of Babble is civilization itself, and its tools like politics, law, science, news and religion.
The superstition Mountains do look ominous from here.
I am no sight seer. I dislike travel immensely. But thank you.
I have noted that I am unable to name a single plant for what it is in these parts. I have spent a week in New Mexico, where there were only 3 breeds of tree on the Mesa. A total of a year I have spent in Utah being guided by an expert, and can identify dozens of plants. The only thing I can pick out down here is the rose bush. It is like a line has been crossed to another planet simply from a single state away. Granted, they are large states, but not California size. I am amazed and fearful, actually, of this alien landscape, and would rather freeze in Pennsylvania, be drenched in Washington or swelter under un-evaporating sweat in Maryland.
Here, I am fine in the cool den of Curator Rex.
Thank you.
