The lined up trees by the water cistern were most likely some sort of fruit, nut tree orchard, and could be used for shade as well. The line was to water the trees.
They always show the picture of how low the water is at Hoover Dam to express how bad the drought is. When what they should really show is the footage of stuff like this where entire valleys that used to be 100 feet underwater are so exposed that you can’t even see the lake from them anymore
at 8:26 fresh water mullosks grew in lake mead, and ancient shells from thousands of years ago..Often they were huge bed of shells thoughmany feet high and wide. I havent seen any in nev,but they exist over in southern california near Borrego desert where he colorado emptied into the southern cochella valley
Re Jimmy Jamm: LetYriteShine I think you said it well "don't watch the video". He's one of those people that will go on a trip such as yours and say.. That's a house, that's a tree, that's a swing in the tree, okay let's go home. No imagination as to what went on in this town or what could have gone on, the history behind the town, or a town that's disappeared underwater for years suddenly reappears. FORGET HIM just as you have done. It was a great video and thank you for it. Some people such as I are now up in age with failing health and can no longer go or do what you guys are doing. It put's us there with you. :)
That was a very interesting video. I was out in that area back in August. I wish I had known about that then. Anyway, you guys are a hoot. Very funny how you ended that. I really enjoyed. Thank you.
Any chance the Lord was not happy with driving people from their homes. Has He with held rain and dried up Lake Mead. Hummmm... I wonder.... something to consider. .
I guess it's their belief that its best to let the unknown remain unknown and let it continue to decay in time underground and/or become unobtainable again rather than to discover and save whatever and maybe learn something from it.
Black ppl lived there my family and your ancestors basically put lakes built a down town over a bunch of black towns and black bodies so those ppl on that picture was placed there cos no way that picture been there that long and look brand new tell them to put the truth out there instead of lying
In case you didn't know, fossils from once a sea are found on mountain tops. Good video by the way, loved it. I must visit it myself one day.

That 28.40 A V8 engine block & other heavy components held together with a long length of steel cable probably used for a boat anchor
Thank ya'll. This was great!
When you build a big city in the desert water is always going to be a problem.

That only was the hounds and everything to merge but imagine all the Grave Sites that were emerged !
at #25 those look like fence posts or wind breaks. . Some windbreaks could have done double duty as a wind break and fence posts.

The first structure was partially covered with silt...
Your dirt at your house most likely has shells in it because pretty much all of Nevada was once covered in water. It was called the Lahontan Sea.
Wow that's interesting.

Thank you.
At 18:30, it's called a cistern.
We would scuba dive in the town back in the day. ;)
That would be freaky.

You should not speak for god.
how much depth of water covered St Thomas
Not sure but deep enough that boats could go over and not hit the structures.
That was a Chevrolet engine block. I dont think that engine came out until the mid 50's.
I'd guess that was a boat anchor.
Awesome you haven’t seen a snake?
Interesting there’s no gravesite either?
I would enjoy you researching and walking through an old cemetery? Idea?
No snakes that I saw. Good point, I saw no gravestones but could have been moved when building the dam.
Sad that very resourceful people had to be uprooted, sometimes trees were windbreaks.
There are wild horses and burrows that run that land
Thank you again for another video. I'd love to see a video lake Las Vegas, lake Mead, the Hoover dam or the Mt Charleston area 😁
We did Mt Charleston. The others are on our bucket list.👍
It's too bad that the law prohibits metal detecting there. That area would be a hobbyist's dream to go wild with their metal detector.
Yeah I know.

The school was also the church.
water is not an Endless Resource
Progress from beginning to end, destroyed for money

Right! Settlers=Colonizers=Lake Cemetery
Put sock on your mike and mute all the bs crap
Edit your video next time. It reasonably could have been an interesting 20 minutes rather then a 40 minute ramblefest.
Or....don't watch it? Just a thought.
@@LetYrLiteShine well said.
Thank you.😁
