The Badlands’ Guardian is near Medicine Hat in the south-east of Alberta and not far from the border with the USA. The location of the geological wonder is very remote, in an area that has been traditionally the home of the Siska First Nation People, often known as the Blackfoot tribes.
By 10 months ago. x.Ancient Aliens explores a giant face, an inexplicable geoglyph known as The Badlands Guardian, carved into the Earth in Alberta, Canada.Discovered by an old, Saskatchewan lady randomly looking at maps online, The Badlands Guardian (TBG) is an amazing figure of a giant American Indian face with headdress carved into the Earth.
Ancient Aliens explores the reality that geoglyphs appear all over the Earth, and their connection to not only one another, but also to aliens.In 1820, Carl Friedrich Gauss hypothesized aliens viewing our planet, and thought we should create large scale figures on the Earth to communicate. His idea was to create large, right triangles, a Pythagorean forest in Siberia.
His idea was apparently unoriginal. More from History.For comparison, Ancient Aliens brings in a relative of one of the chief Mount Rushmore designers.
By comparison, Mount Rushmore is much smaller, and took over a decade to carve. Furthermore, Mount Rushmore is a laterally viewed geoglyph; TBG is only viewable from above. So how was it formed?Image analysis by a Boston professor, who utilizes advanced software to add elevation to the image, conveys an interesting aspect: the view is clearly an Indian in headdress, but only from straight above. As the view decreases from 90 to 0 degrees, however, the image becomes less and less apparent. Since the formation is concave, it simply looks like a hole in the ground. This indicates significant planning and work required. Comparisons to other geoglyphsOne of the more striking attributes of The Badlands Guardian is the definition of the image.
It’s very clear. Very artistic.
When the Lineas de Nazca were discovered in the 1930s, they appeared less refined, but confirmed Gaust’s hypothesis nonetheless. Other geoglyphs like the Glastonbury Zodiac, Ohio Serpent, and Atacama Giant support an intention to communicate with someone above, even if there are potentially alternate purposes.
