If Giant Trees Once Covered America, Where Are the Trunks?

What happened to the missing trunks? In this video, we go beyond the visual giant tree theory and ask the harder forensic question: if Monument Valley’s mesas and buttes are really the surviving bases of enormous ancient trees, where did the rest of the mass go? From petrified wood and the Chinle Formation to buried debris fields, coal compression, transported fossil logs, and even the destructive force of the Missoula Floods, this investigation follows the physical evidence the official record never set out to test. Instead of stopping at shape recognition, this video explores whether the American Southwest has been carrying the remains of these giant structures all along under different geological names. If the stumps are real, the trunks should have left a signature somewhere in the landscape — and that is the question this video finally forces into the open.
