The carving officially started in 1927, and it was considered complete in 1941. The massive concave formation is almost half a mile long and it is over 1,100 feet wide.įor comparison, the Mount Rushmore National Monument in South Dakota, which was completed in 1941, is approximately 80 feet tall and 200 feet wide.Īnd while it is only a fraction of the size of the Badlands Guardian, constructing it required an enormous amount of work, even with modern technology. Narrator: Some of the geoglyphs found around the world were formed simply by removing the top layer of soil to expose the lighter colored dirt underneath.īut if the Badlands Guardian is also a geoglyph, creating it would have been an enormous undertaking. in South America, in China, Archaeologists are continually finding that things they think are natural are actually artificial. There might have been an ear there at one time, but now, because they put an access road there and they built this gas feature, that was all erased.Īrchaeologists are often mistaken about ancient sites.Īnd what is actually a pyramid that's now, say, covered in soil and has a forest on it can be mistaken for just a natural hill. Now, the interesting thing about that is, the local government in Canada, they had found a gas deposit there, right where the ear should be. The only thing missing from the Badlands Guardian is an ear feature. It not only has basic facial features, it has secondary facial features, such as the eyelid. When the mainstream scientific community looks at the Badlands Guardian, their first explanation is that it was created by weathering, uh, rain and water runoff.īut there's just so much detail that we're seeing in this formation that it goes way beyond anything nature could make. Many who have examined the Badlands Guardian suggest that, based on the amount of detail it displays, this is highly unlikely. Narrator: Is it possible that the likeness of a human face naturally formed in the Earth? It looks like an indigenous, uh, native to the area. It doesn't look like a Scotsman wearing a kilt.

It is so striking, because that is the indigenous people of the area. The Badlands Guardian is a bust, or a head and shoulders presentation, of a male indigenous person. Some of them are carved into the ground, like we find in Nazca.Īnd in some places they're built up, mounds built up on the Earth. They can be geometric designs, they can be. 'Geo' means Earth, and glyphs are symbols, so 'geoglyph' means symbols on the Earth. The Badlands Guardian appears to be a huge geoglyph near Alberta, Canada.Īnd to see it from Google Earth or from satellite imagery, you would think it was created by people many, many years ago. The headdress a little less so, but clearly could be seen as feathers. The brow, the nose, the lips, the chin are well formed. It looks so much like a man-made structure that she posts the image on a message board.Īlmost overnight, the image goes viral and becomes known far and wide as the 'Badlands Guardian.' It demands we question everything we have ever been taught.ĥ3-year-old grandmother Lynn Hickox is scanning GPS driving directions to a local museum on satellite view when something catches her eye: a geographical feature that bears a striking resemblance to a human face.

Narrator: There is a doorway in the universe. George Haas: We learned their codes and their secret symbolism, and what we're seeing probably holds.

but one that holds the key to their return? Marcia Moore: So you have to ask yourself, who were they emulating? Narrator: And could it be not only a link to mankind's extraterrestrial ancestors.

Travis Taylor: The Badlands Guardian looks artificial. Narrator: Is it an ancient megalithic structure made to be seen from the sky? Hugh Newman: It's really, really striking when you first see it. Satellite images have revealed a giant face that appears to be carved into the Earth in Alberta, Canada, which has now become known far and wide as 'The Badlands Guardian.' Could it be part of a cosmic communication system? One that when deciphered will link our planet to its extraterrestrial origins? Narrator: A mysterious formation.
