Did The Aztecs Carve These Mine Tunnels In Southern Utah?

———-Here is the legend————-
Some people believe that the tunnels carved here in this Southern Utah spot were created by the Aztecs some 500 years ago. The Spanish, during this time, were invading the Aztec homeland, which was governed by King Montezuma, and were intent on taking all their wealth. The Aztecs supposedly had so much gold that in todayโ€™s dollars it would value in the billions. The Aztecs didn’t want the Spanish to have their gold and treasure, so they loaded it and headed north to their original homeland – Aztlan. Some people believe that Aztlan is in the four-corners region of the United States. The Aztecs supposedly dug tunnels in this area to hide their immense wealth and sealed it up for when they could come back and get it at a future time.

Fast forward to about the 1900s, when a man named Freddie Crystal was sure he knew where the Aztec gold was hidden. He said that he found a map that showed him exactly where the treasure was: the Kanab area. Freddie found some petroglyphs and steps carved in the rock and he even found a tunnel that was sealed with some type of concrete. He carved away at it with a pocket-knife and found that it required more tools and labor to break inside. He went to town and the pure excitement pulled 3/4 of the townspeople out to work on the mine. They worked the tunnels and found at the back an empty room. They did find some bones and even some broken pottery, but no gold. They all gave up and the legend lives on. Were these tunnels carved by the Aztecs? The legend is fascinating, but we may never know for sure if itโ€™s true.

    Aztecs??????? Umm no! Those were Mormons in the 1800s who thought that. Weโ€™ve kind of progressed our knowledge about native people since then. Lmfao.

  6. @BetterThanYou-uj4cd on December 11, 2023 at 8:51 am

    The answer is No! I love how people think all these ancient peoples all across the world had all this technology and mind blowing advancements yet EVERY TIME all of those people came into contact with Whites The White Man conquered and decimated them, So much for all that technology and advancement๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿป

    The spaniards got most of the Aztec gold and took it back to Spain where it could buy stuff they valued

  8. @johnathoncastro on December 11, 2023 at 8:52 am

    How did they carve them without tools?

    Doesn’t look like a mine

    Bruh itโ€™s not Aztecs. Their remnants of pueblos that stayed in the region. 1600- 1800โ€™s

  11. @haroldharwell7078 on December 11, 2023 at 8:53 am

    I’ve been out in the 4-corners a few times, it’s obvious the people living there hadn’t found it.

    Wait, isn’t this a plot of the book Dune: Herectics except instead of Montezuma, it was the Emperor Leto II & instead of gold, it was spice?

    White man appreciate golds. For Aztec it was just pretty metal

    No gold

  17. @mikegrindstaff on December 11, 2023 at 9:00 am

    There is a very high likelihood that this is Mormon mining exploration. I live here in SE Utah…there isn’t gold here in the sand stone. This is likely exploration for Uranium or Copper.

    My ass stands a better chance of being an Aztec gold tunnel than that mine.

    Gold is apparently the perfect object of theft. So the Aztecs and Inca got ripped by the Spanish. Who got ripped by English pirates in the 1500s and by Russian commies in the 1900s. Today, it is being gathered by the central banks … that is, the synagogues of Satan.

    Very true. There is a lot of hidden treasures along El Camino Real

  26. @capotitoe on December 11, 2023 at 9:09 am

    is not aztecs is Mexicas, and no they did no dig any of that. Gold had no value for them so there’s no reason to hide it.

  29. @kittycato2023 on December 11, 2023 at 9:16 am

    OK question…what if you found all this gold…u couldn’t do anything with it. U try to sell it it will be reported most likely. Or u might be dealing g with bad people.

  30. @garypalmer2066 on December 11, 2023 at 9:19 am

    That’s a gypsum mine.

  33. @PB-tr5ze on December 11, 2023 at 9:21 am

    I would guess it depends on if that particular region is rich in gold deposits, how easy was it to reach and how difficult was it to extract and were there enough resources in the area to feed the miners.

    If it was an ancient mine, there should be signs of a fairly large population in the immediate area. Buildings, both human and animal remains, artifacts like tools and cookware would be present in the area.

    A mine is a pretty intensive project, would require a lot of people and resources and would need a lot of logistics to get the mined materials out… that would leave some kind of signs…

    I would love to see an Archeological survey of the area to see if it is possible.

    On another possibly, places like this might be the origin of the Hopi Creation story… The hopi believe that the were from the center of the earth and came to the surface via tunnels, so if they found places like this it woukd be a place of activity and worship, wich woukd explain why there seems to be at least some human activity in the caves.

    Some of the treasures are boobies trapped or have a spell ๐Ÿ‘

  35. @privacyantiscum6453 on December 11, 2023 at 9:26 am

    It doesn’t look like a mine to me except maybe uranium

  36. @user-es3zh3jk5o on December 11, 2023 at 9:28 am

    The caves were cooler inside than the extremely hot dry summer.

  37. @albertson8181 on December 11, 2023 at 9:29 am

    Aztec considered gold poop of the gods.. hense "holy shit" ๐Ÿ˜… your welcome .. everyone uses till this day

  38. @RealBadgerScrutiny on December 11, 2023 at 9:30 am

    Montezuma was a ruthless emperor that brutally subjugated other peoples, the Spanish were liberators not invaders.

    They share the same aztec language toung. The way whites haved delusionally separated natives with their relatives to the south shows how delusional the settler government is

  45. @tboned70 on December 11, 2023 at 9:37 am

    Yes,….the Aztecs or wat other Tribes called them,…….did come from the North,…i suspect the Utah area of White Sand,…….their Children are in the Millions but are Displaced by Illegal Occupation by Foreigners today,………

  49. @hank-hill-propane-salesman on December 11, 2023 at 9:40 am

    Here in the san Fernando Valley, during the cowboy days, some settlers found gold from the (presuming to be) chumash, and or tongva indians. They hid it in chatsworth, and left just one clue for people to find it. It’s located in a rock in the shape of a monkeys skull. The problem being at the time; was that no one knew what a monkey looked like because there were no zooz , and unless you came across a book showing images of apes, you had no idea what to look for! In a recent update some dude who owns land out there thinks he found a Boulder in the shape of a monkeys head. He was really vague with his discovery, so it makes people believe he found it, and is keeping the secret to his grave. But maybe it’s still out there in those chatsworth mountains ๐Ÿ˜ฎ โ›ฐ๏ธ
