Ancient Geoglyphs




Geoglyphs are classified as rock art, which also includes pictographs and petroglyphs. Pictographs are rock paintings while petroglyphs are rock engravings. Cave paintings, drawings, petroglyphs, geoglyphs, hieroglyphs and more have been used all over the world for centuries.
Created by the ancients and left for us to explore and ponder, these symbols held great meaning for those civilizations who created them. Some, like the Egyptian Hieroglyphs, we know to be the cultures written language. Others, like cave drawings, express the daily lives or held religious significance for their designers. There are many however that offers more questions and possible answers then one mind can conceive. Among these are the great Geoglyphs found in locations around the globe.

In South America, the lines at Nazca are of the most famous geoglyphs, but they are hardly the only ones. South of Nazca, about 850 miles, is perhaps the world's largest human figure, etched into the side of Solitary Mountain. The Giant of Atacama at Cerro Unitas, in Chile, about 600 miles south of Nazca, is an incredible 393 feet high and is surrounded by lines similar to those at Nazca. Just 130 miles from Nazca, dug into a sloping hill at Pisco Bay on the Peruvian coast. This drawing looks very much like a candlestick - which gives it the name of "The Candelabra of the Andes". There has been much speculation about the purpose of the 595-foot high candelabra, but no definitive answer. It is constructed in a different manner to the Nazca lines, using trenches up to one meter in depth, and is best viewed from out at sea. It can be seen from as far away as 12 miles. Pottery found near the figure has been carbon dated to 200 BC. Interestingly enough, the Incan city of Cuzco was created in the shape of a puma. Its inhabitants were known as "members of the body of the puma".



In North America along the Colorado River from Nevada to the Gulf of California are more than 200 huge figures. One such figure is 176 feet in length. Over 600 geoglyphs have been discovered in the southwest United States and nearby areas of Mexico. The first to be discovered was the giant near Blythe, California by a pilot in 1923. Like the Nazca figures, the Blythe effigies are large and give the impression they were designed to be viewed from the air. Also in common with the Nazca figures, clearing away the surface gravel to expose the lighter-colored soil formed the geoglyphs. Although they are thought to date from a much later period (Setzler 1952), none of the Blythe figures match the size of the largest Nazca drawings. Also the human figures and horse like creatures are much cruder in form, typically having solid-area bodies and sticklike appendages, somewhat similar to some of the Chilean effigies. At China Lake, California, a great star burst can be found and the giant of Paradise Valley in Southwestern Montana that is around 1,287 ft. long with an arm span of about 330 ft! We can also move to Ohio and the Great Serpent Mound. Found just north of Quartzite, Arizona, is the Bouse Fisherman:

The English geoglyphs, like the White Horse of Uffington, England, are mostly chalk figures. In Oxfordshire, England, a layer of soil and mossy vegetation was chipped away in the shape of a 360-foot-long horse to reveal the white, underlying chalk. These require constant maintenance to stop them disappearing back beneath grass and soil. This lack of durability means that many others are bound to have disappeared centuries ago. Who knows how many have been lost to us through the years?

Why were these designed? It would seem logical that these ancient civilizations had much more to be concerned with then giant works of art. Were they messages to their Gods? Possible since most appear to be best viewed from the sky or at great distances. Were they a remembrance of ancient times before them when flight was possible? Around the world there are references of great-lost knowledge and a powerful civilization, ancient even to those we now consider ancient. Atlantis perhaps? Is there a connection binding them we have yet to understand?

New thought is finally emerging in the study of sacred, ancient mysteries and the way these stories appear to be repeating themselves. With thousands of amateur and professional archaeologists sharing discoveries online, similarities are being discovered in some Native American rock-art symbolism and that found in other parts of the world. This means ancient people from other cultures could have migrated here thousands of years ago (or vice versa).

Most interesting are those experts who find geoglyphs interpretation that parallels myth and legend found in all of humanity. This suggest that all cultures on earth had origin from a common influence or had contact long before currently believed.

In this section we will take a closer look at some of the remarkable geoglyphs, the regions around them and explore the many possibilities. Open your minds to old thinking, new ideas and what we have yet to even imagine.

23 Mar 2011 @ 06:10 by Hendon Harris @71.109.225.219 : Ancient American Art of Hindu Origin?
I believe that Church Rock, Utah and the ancient Ellora Caves in India may be religiously connected and possibly built by priests who had been in both places. There is no doubt that Hindu/Buddhist priests were doing enormous rock
carvings at the Ellora Caves in the early 1400s. Google "Ellora Caves"
You can access my work at chinesediscoveramerica.com or go directly to my article by googling "Ellora Caves Church Rock"  



8 Apr 2011 @ 03:22 by Hendon's Harris @71.109.216.85 : Chinese Earthwork Expertise
For those of you who need more proof that the ancient Chinese had extensive earthwork expertise
look no further than the ancient Chinese pyramids. As impressive as the height of the tallest Egyptian pyramid is it is less than half the height of the tallest pyramid in China. Huge earthenware
blocks were made and then placed to erect this project. Google it for yourself! Once you can
comprehend the skill required to do this then the recently discovered geoglyphs in China and
North America make more sense. Isn't it interesting that some of the earliest people acknowledged
to have been in North America were also known for their expertise in earthworks to the point that
they are known today as the "Mound Builders".

the reason why man has yet to find the path of zero resistance in relation to planetarey and intraplanetary trasportation is as a result of his lack of consideration as to just how the alliens accomplished what they did allien is a fairly discriminitory lable that refers to an over all unfamiliarity of the theory of everything its very simple consider the properties of general magnativity and thats the key to closing the gap of time travel zero resistance is the pivotal perspective from which the alliens developed their technology or the 12th demension  


25 Apr 2011 @ 04:21 by Hendon Harris @71.109.220.18 : Ancient Asians in America
For those who need more evidence of pre Columbian Asian contacts in the Americas google
"The Aboriginal Bow and Arrow in America and Eastern Asia" or chinesediscoveramerica.com
Asian bow construction techniques and Mongolian arrow release methods found in the Siouan
family of tribes (Plains Indians). How is this possible without Asian contact?  



24 May 2011 @ 03:59 by Hendon Harris @166.205.139.97 : Why Are Geoglyphs Largely Ignored?
Geoglyphs are ignored for the most part by mainstream academia because they do not fit into the
program of how cultures are deemed to have developed over the millinea. Faced with evidence that doesn't fit what you've been taught or what you're teaching---ignore it. If you think this is an overstatement then I challenge you to google "evolutionary diffusionism" or "cultural diffusionism".
This is where the real battle is being fought over what if any value will ever be given to these signs
of ancient highly advanced cultures and possible advanced technologies. If you have preconceived
ideas of how culture developed from the very simple to the complex on a straight line upward then
it's more that a little awkward to explain highly developed societies that appear out of sequence.

29 May 2011 @ 15:19 by Arthur Faram @75.20.224.21 : Geoglyphs unlock the ancient past.
There is a now book on the market that, using geoglyphs,sheds new light on Caral and Nazca peru. This is a book that promises to change history forever. Much of the speculation about the history of man over the past ten millinia is brought to light in Ancient Signposts. While researching his family history the author discovered an ancient secret which has been passed down by ancient civilizations for over 10,000 years. This secret is a window into man's past from before 10,000 BC until now. Once you start reading Ancient Signposts you will not want to put the book down. Ancient Signposts unveils the real purpose of the Egyptian Pyramids, explains why Stonehenge was built, uncovers the history of ancient man in the Americas, documents 10,000 year old land claims, reveals the true purpose of the Nazca lines in Peru, and much more. Over 200 documentary photos.

The book can be previewed at http:www.farum.us/bookad.htm

18 Aug 2011 @ 05:01 by Hendon Harris @71.109.221.31 : Church/ Stupa Rock Utah USA
In southwest Utah may be the long awaited proof that Buddhists from ancient India not only arrived
In N America but also created religious structures and taught East Indian customs to Native Americans that they still widely use to this very day. (Seven Step Wedding Ceremony and the use
of the Manji--Swastika). Church Rock Utah appears to be a stupa crafted in the Gupta period of ancient India. Goggle: "along highway 191 in southern Utah church rock" for the best photo image. Stupas have a long history in India that predate Buddhism. These structures were built according
to such strict design standards that it's possible to date them according to how they were constructed. They were always built from the top down so scaffolding was never needed. Church
Rock appears to have been abandoned before it was completed because although it is finished and quite steep on three sides the fourth side (seldom seen but available by googling "church rock
images") still slopes down from near the top of the formation where the rock carvers were last working. When viewing the first google site I mentioned if you zoom in to the area on the rock to
the upper right of the carved arched entrance at ground level you'll see what looks incredibly like
It could be a huge idol. To me it looks like a monkey head which was a puzzle to me until I read
about the role of the monkey in the early days of Buddhism and Hinduism which goes back so
much further. Church/Stupa Rock does not occur there in a vacuum. There are numerous other
evidences of previous advanced civilizations in that immediate area.

4 Nov 2011 @ 23:03 by Hendon Haris @71.109.154.128 : Ancient Chinese Coin Found in the Yukon
Breaking News: On November 1, 2011 the story broke that in June 2011 archaeologists had unearthed a Chinese coin minted between 1667-1671 in
Canada. You can access all the newspaper articles written on this topic
by googling: "news for 17th century Chinese coin dug up in Canada".
More and more evidence of early Chinese presence in North America continues
to surface while the main stream academics continue to ignore it.  



21 Dec 2011 @ 01:15 by Hendon Harris @71.109.220.8 : Ancient Asians Sailing to the Americas
Some scholars have said that there is no way for ancient Asians or anyone to have sailed to North America before Columbus because it was too far and early
people didn't know how to navigate and move safely about the ocean. Setting aside then the mystery of how the Pacific Islanders (to name one culture) knew how to navigate back and forth between the "needle in the haystack islands" scattered throughout the Pacific we now have absolute proof that the above premise is just not correct. Nine months ago (March 2011) there was a major earthquake in Japan which caused a devastating tsunami. Thousands of human lives were lost and by some estimates a million tons of debris was washed out to sea. For years authors such as Charlotte Harris Rees and numerous others have written of the Kamchatka current (a major ocean current) which flows north past China and Japan up to Alaska and then south along the North American coast. This current is a conveyor belt just like a river that moves anything in it thats loose in the direction it flows. This current is not new. Its been in place as long as humans have been on this planet. The advance portion of the tons of material swept to sea is now beginning to arrive in British Columbia at least a year in advance of its expected arrival. What does this prove? It proves that if you enter the Kamchatka Current in Asia either knowingly or unknowingly and you don't take moves to get out of the current You Will End Up In North America. This has been discussed numerous times before but never before has the power of the Kamchatka Current been so clearly demonstrated. All ancient Asians had to do to arrive in North America in 9 months or less was to get in the current and thats assuming they did not have sails which would have made the trip much quicker. Also this trip never takes the traveller very far from land so one can replinish their food and water supply all along the way. In addition it is
much easier to travel on the deck of a boat than trudge the thousands of miles
by foot or pack animals.
Its not magic. Its science.  



19 Jan 2012 @ 20:32 by Hendon Harris @71.109.153.102 : Hindu Pacific Travels
Those who believe that Hwui Shan travelled to the Americas in 458 AD with four
other Buddhist priest probably know by now how closely connected the Hindu, Buddhist and Jain faiths of India were at that time. An excellent example of this cooperation can be seen at the Ellora Caves in India that were carved about the same time as Hwui Shan's expedition. At first it was a puzzle why so
many Hindu artifacts and customs were showing up here in a place so far away from India. Now it makes sense. The swastika used by several Native America
tribes is but one example. How about the Hindu Seven Step Wedding Ceremony that is now practised as an ancient tradition by our own natives. Or how about
the ancient Hindu image of Lord Shiva dancing in a circle of flame that can be
seen in a huge geoglyph in Colorado by googling "ancient buddha lotus flower tree of life images". Here is an article that much better explains how and why
it happened. http://www.hinduwisdom.info/Pacific.htm or google "India on Pacific waves a tribute to Hinduism"  



21 Apr 2012 @ 19:04 by Hendon Harris @71.109.220.15 : Tibetan Geoglyphs In Southwest Colorado
Two geoglyphs have been located near Egnar Colorado that not only appear as ancient Buddhist images but also appear to be of Tibetan origin because of their style. These images can be accessed at http://www.flickriver.com/photos/10749411@N03/5220272640/ The geoglyph on the
left appears to be The Three Jewels of Buddhism symbol done in the Tibetan motif while the geoglyph on the right appears to be the image of a popular Tibetan Buddhist deity--Vajrabhairava. www.himalayanart.org/search/set.cfm?setID=1419 For the best likeness of the geoglyph go the the Vajrabhairava image on the bottom row of the first page. Its the one in blue. Notice the
positions of the left and right legs as well as the location where the wings or
fan originates just below the waist on both bodies. Is this possible?
Need more proof?? Google "Lizard Rock" Utah and then google "Newspaper Rock" Utah. Both of these sites are just a few miles from the geoglyphs in Colorado.
When you get to Newspaper Rock look for the "footprints" and the "circles" all
over the rock face. In ancient Buddhism carved images of Buddha himself were not allowed so symbols were used to signify Buddha and Buddhism. One of the most common images used were footprints to demonstrate where Buddha or the influence of Buddhism had reached. This major study area of Buddhism is called
Buddhapada. In addition its curious that wheels appear at all on Newspaper Rock because there is No Record of wheels of any type used by Native Americas. Yet here on the rock is clearly evidence that ancient Americans knew of
the wheel. Why then did they not used the wheel for utilitarian purposes?? I
have a theory but that will have to wait for another time. Concentric circles
are a basic part of the Buddhist mandala. The famous Tibetan and Native American "sand painting" as well as the medicine wheel and medicine shield tie
back to the Buddhist mandala. These are just a few of the images and ancient
symbols of Buddhism that are showing up all over the American southwest.

28 Jun 2012 @ 06:42 by Hendon Harris @71.109.218.31 : Sphinx Like Persian Manticore in Utah?
In March of this year I went to SouthEastern Utah to personally see rock formations that I believe are
ancient rock art and not simply the random erosion that most believe they are. While I was at Arches National Park near Moab Utah I made sure to personally see what at least two photographers are calling "The King" which is right next to the Double Arches and actually visible from the parking lot there. While there I made sure I took numerous photos of all sides of The King.
It may come as no surprise that this feature has the identical facial parts in the appropriate places on
all sides. That's quite remarkable for "random erosion" don't you think? For images of The King and the article I've written on the topic google: "Persian Manticore North America" or to my website at
www.chinesediscoveramerica,com .  



6 Jul 2012 @ 13:39 by Katherine @99.23.241.121 : Geoglyphs or earth art?
Hi I too found some amazing pictures in the desert. I thought you might want to see them. I learned how to blog to show people. www.americangeoglyphs.com
If they are earth art, then wow, can mother earth paint!!!!  



3 Oct 2012 @ 05:45 by Hendon Harris @71.110.109.86 : Huge Grids Below Priest Lake Utah
Joseph Needham, leading western China scholar, wrote extensively on the use of huge grids by ancient Chinese for land measurement, mapping and divination (fortune telling). If you use "Google Maps" you can type in Priest Lake Utah to
see the beautiful alternatively colored "chessboard type" grids to the immediate
south of the lake. For more information on this topic as well as satellite images of these grids along the eastern side of the Rocky Mtns google: "Phei Hsiu Zhang Heng" or "Joseph Needham Grid Collection".  



13 Nov 2012 @ 05:56 by Hendon Harris @71.110.109.86 : Were the Anasazis Buddhists?
There are increasing evidences coming to the surface that point to a link of Vedic influences
(possibily Buddhist) with the Anasazi culture of ancient North America. Dr Stephen Lekson has
written extensively on the building of the Anasazi people along the 108th Meridian West. This is major because the number 108 is an extremely significant number to all Vedic religions including
Buddhism. For those skeptics and scoffers who say "I've got you now. That culture never had the
engineering and navigational skills to pull that off." you are misinformed. The measurements are in
and numerous engineers have been totally amazed by the knowledge we now have learned the Anasazi possessed. If they could survey with such accuracy then oceanic navigation would not have posed a problem. They apparently had the world's meridians on a grid in their time. Their
astrological and navigational skills can not now be disputed.
But what about the Anasazi and Hopi deity Kokopelli? There are those that are making a convincing
argument that the Native American god Kokopelli may in fact be a Vedic god with almost identical
attributes. Check this out for yourself. Google: "Hopi Deity Kokopelli Hindu God?" or
www.viewzone.com/kokopelli.html
There are mounting evidences that seem to point to a major Vedic/Buddhist connection between
India and North America. Google: "Mandalas, Manjis, Mantras, Meridians and Monuments".  



3 Dec 2012 @ 19:46 by Hendon Harris @71.105.127.62 : Bisti Badlands
Just south of the City of Farmington in the Four Corners region of North America
is a most amazing site. Google: "The Canadian Goose Bisti" or "The Sleeping Lizard Bisti" or "the Flying Turtle Bisti". You can spend hours looking at these images that given their age are in incredible condition and seem to reinforce the argument that these "carvings" are in fact styles that originated from Vedic India and appear to have a definite Buddhist influence to them.
I feel comfortable in making this claim because of two separate types of rock formations there among scores of others. The most common feature there are the
"mushroom rocks" like "Mexican Hat Rock" in Southern Utah also served by the
San Juan River. In Sanskrit (the ancient language of India) this type of rock formation is called the "Chattra" which literally means "mushroom" but also means "Parosol" as in one of The Eight Auspicious Symbols of Buddhism--The Parasol. Google this for exactly what the Chattra means to Buddhism and Buddhists. The other image I found here that specifically ties this site to
Vedic/Buddhism is a two toned Phallic Symbol exactly like the ones in Arches
National Park not far away. Google "Phallic Symbols North America" You can access the huge Phallic Symbol in the Bisti Badlands by googling "Ian Parker
Hoodoos" On the third and fourth lines of his site in pictures entitled "Hoodoo
Pool" and "Hoodoo Reflections" you will see the image I have mentioned framed between two other rock formations.
There are dozens of other incredible rocks there that I believe were carved using artistic and engineering skills that I don't believe anyone has previously
realized were present in ancient America. You will be told by almost anyone you talk to about this that these formations are the result of wind and rock erosion. They'll tell you that because they have no other explanation. But you
know better because you know these skills are recognized to have been present in
another part of the ancient world at the time these formations in North America
were most likely made. In the history of the world what other cultures have been expert in detailed rock carving (especially certain types of features like those that are put on the tops of Buddhist temples like the Chattra and the Phallus Symbol) and are known for having traveled enormous distances to share their belief in Buddhism? How about the ancient Chinese court document that details the missionary trip of Hwui Shan and four other Buddhist clerics to the beautiful country they called FuSang?  



20 Jan 2013 @ 05:05 by Hendon Harris @71.110.109.86 : Article Connects Navajo With Tibet
Professor Jeannie Martinez Welles of the University of New Mexico in 2007 wrote
an article comparing women's roles in Din4 (Navajo) culture with Tibetan Tantra Buddhist traditions in pre Columbian America. This article can be accessed by googling: "Dimensions of Dine (Navajo) and Buddhist traditions". Once you reach the page click on "Quick View" for access to the article. Most scholars are refusing to even acknowledge the mounting evidence like The Seven Step wedding
ceremony from India which is even today celebrated as the most common wedding
ceremony used by Native Americans as their own tradition or even to consider any
possible connection between the Tibetan Ghost Dance and the Native American Ghost Dance practice celebrated so famously between 1888 and 1890 when their
Ghost Dance experience was effectively crushed by the 7th Cavalry on December 29th 1890 at Wounded Knee South Dakota where at least 153 and possibly many more
Lakota Sioux men, women and children were killed. Few scholars are brave enough
to explore and publish their findings on this topic. Professor Welles is an
exception to this. Bravo!! Hopefully more scholars will research and publish their findings on the numerous apparent connections that have been found by others.  



18 Feb 2013 @ 05:31 by Hendon Harris @71.110.109.86 : Navajo and Tibetan Buddhist Connections
Read "Navajo and Tibetan Sacred Wisdom: The Circle of the Spirit" by Peter Gold for a scholarly
book on the topic of incredible Navajo and Tibetan Buddhist similarities that are far too numerous
to explain away as simply random. As further evidence that "insiders" don't need to be convinced
and most likely already believe this hypothesis read the letter written by the Dalai Lama himself and
positioned in the front of this book. Isn't it safe to assume that the fact that His Holiness allowed his
name to be associated with this book that he believes this theory or at a minimum leans in that
direction?  



18 Jun 2013 @ 04:41 by Hendon Harris @173.55.183.118 : Enormous North American Grids
For those who have actually studied ancient Chinese science and technology it's old news that Asia
was hundreds of years ahead of western technology and had been for at least centuries if not longer. But when did the Chinese actually have access to longitude and latitude? Longitude and latitude obviously has a lot to do with highly scientific and technical grids. Chinese mapping grids
go back to Zhang Heng and Phei Hsiu of the first and third centuries respectively.
Google: "The Joseph de Guignes Coadtal Oregon Grids". These ancient grids on our Pacific coast were created by deforestation. It's clearly apparent that the grid itself was far more important to whoever did this because although lumber was harvested no serious lumberman or lumber company
would ever go to these lengths to build or protect a grid while collecting lumber from often almost
inaccessible areas. Is it possible that these Oregon and other western grids were the precursors of
Asian longitude and latitude lines? China has been in a rapid deforestation process all the way back
to Pre Shang dynasty days. They have needed to look to other places to supply their lumber needs
throughout history. Is it possible that the lumber cleared from the Oregon grids found its way back
to China? Sound farfetched? Right now China is rapidly deforesting Tibet a country they just took
over in the late 1950's. Is that a coincidence or a historical pattern?

5 Apr 2015 @ 13:36 by Brien Holmes @184.147.18.30 : Understanding geoglyphs
While living and working in the Middle East, I documented two areas where the gravel desert was covered with thousands -- perhaps tens of thousands -- of small piles of stones. No pottery or artifacts were located nearby and none of the residents had any explanation; when asked they simply said the geoglyphs were 'very old'.

I concentrated on two areas and the only thing in common was the proximity of burial mounds from the Hafit Period, approximately 4500 years ago. There was no evidence to support a link between the piles of stones and the tombs; as anyone who has travelled along the western slopes of the Hajar Mountains knows, tombs from the Hafit Period are numerous. I did not observe any array of stone piles near any other Hafit Period tombs.

In one location, the stone piles appeared to be arranged to construct shapes by piling the stones in lines. However, the number of these shapes was almost insignificant given the number of stone piles.

The piles were small -- about a half a meter in diameter -- and consisted of small stones, about the size of a fist. But there is no evidence the stones were sorted or arranged other than the construction of these piles.

When mapped, the piles of stones did not resemble any shape. The stone piles were in areas, some very large -- a square kilometer or more -- and some very small -- perhaps 25 square meters in area.

Dating the construction of the piling of the stones is difficult given the lack of artifacts but one can begin to estimate the dating by considering the climate and population numbers. Since no one seems to have any recollection of the piles being constructed, one might assume they are more than one or two generations old. If the construction -- which would have taken considerable time -- was done in the period after the arrival of the Europeans, notably the Portuguese, it is reasonable to assume the activity would have been recorded by the Europeans, notably the Portuguese who kept detailed journals. If the activity pre-dates the arrival of the Europeans, it seems illogical for a population that was almost always in search of water and food to spend the time and energy to construct piles of stones that do not seem to serve any practical function.

I would be interested to hear from anyone who has any thoughts on the stone piles or who may have seen similar constructions. One example has been shared of stone pile constructions in Iceland. And there are small examples of similar small piles of stones from Nasca. However I have not uncovered any other location of such large areas of these geoglyphs.

A copy of my discussion paper is available at Academia.edu.

Awesome information. I am really surprised with this topic. Keep up the good work and post more here to read.  


17 Jul 2015 @ 17:14 by Hendon Harris @173.55.242.78 : More Information Now Available
More information continues to be uncovered pointing to additional evidence of Pre Contact Asian cultural and religious influences in N America. Google: "Disqus Hendon Harris" and "Ancient Buddha Tree of Life Lotus Flower" for more information and the images of two geoglyphs near Egnar, Colorado that appear to be of Vajrayana (Tibetan) Buddhist origin. Some of these geoglyphs in N America are huge. Some like "The Harris Horse" almost defy imagination. But just because we don't know how they did it doesn't mean they didn't create this. Just that they were much more advanced than we have been told. Huge populations of people need a lot of water. Civilizations have handled this by building reservoirs. From high altitude (Google Maps) all bodies of water are either primarily blue or black. All recently man made lakes are black. The oceans and the Great Lakes are blue. The largest Black Water Lake in the world is Great Bear Lake in Canada. It's huge? However, if you look at this lake using Google Earth etc you can see a resemblance to a headless man. I say man because where on the body (shape) of this "man" where you would find male body parts they are there in exaggerated dimensions. In addition to that there are lakes in front of that feature. Its like something you would see on a bathroom stall wall. However, just in case you think I am seeing things that are of natural formation and I am saying they are man made look below one of the two legs. Google: "The Gang Deng Sea Horse Black Water Lake" for the image of a sea horse below that leg. Google: "Howie Harris Reclining Dog Black Water Lake" These are just a few of the Black Water Lakes that I believe were shaped as specific images in addition to being reservoirs made by ancient inhabitants of N America.
