Exploring Ancient Civilizations and Archaeological Sites

The speaker recalls a visit to a deserted archaeological site in New Mexico called Chaco Canyon, where an ancient civilization once thrived. The site holds the interest of the speaker, who found out that the father of Mike Judge, known for Beavis and Butthead, was one of the primary researchers of the area. The speaker and a companion spent a day there, capturing footage for their YouTube channel. The experience fueled the speaker's interest in filmmaking and the exploration of ancient cultures and structures.
