the maree man // canavarlar

ancient art work

The Marree Man, or Stuart's Giant, as it was named in anonymous press
releases (after John McDouall Stuart), is a geoglyph discovered by air on
26 June 1998. The geoglyph appears to depict an indigenous Australian
man, most likely of the Pitjantjatjara tribe, hunting birds or wallabies with
a throwing stick. It lies on a plateau at Finnis Springs 60 km west of the
township of Marree in central Australia. The figure is 4.2 km high with a
circumference of 15–28 km. It is the largest known geoglyph in the world
and is estimated to have taken between four and eight weeks to create,
but despite this its origins are extremely mysterious, with not a single
witness to any part of the massive operation.
