I always wonder how this nation would look if we hadn’t committed a genocide against the natives.

You ever heard of the gigantic animal depictions that used to sprawl the north east? There are a few still around, but seeing what they had originally done with the land would be jaw dropping.

That's amazing. Did they just carve it all out of the cliff?

They build them with the rocks surrounding. These cliff faces will break off and shatter, leaving bunches of flat rocks that can be stacked and mortared together. If you zoom in, you can see the speckles of different colors in the walls.

I was there just last year. It’s amazing.
