It is unclear who created the giant geoglyph or why, but the large earthen figure has drawn attention to a remote part of South Australia for two decades. |
(CNN)NASA
confirms one of the greatest modern art mysteries is still going strong in
Australia. A pilot discovered the
mysterious 2.6-mile-long geoglyph of an aboriginal hunter in 1998, etched into the
earth, and to this day no one knows how it got there.
The Marree Man gained new
life in 2016 when a group from the figure's namesake town of Marree plowed the
lines to keep the man from fading due to erosion. Now, NASA is sharing an image
taken in June showing the success of their efforts.
So far, the restoration
team's belief that their preservation will last longer than the original holds
up. They created wind grooves, designed to trap water and encourage the growth
of vegetation, according to NASA. They hope that eventually the man will
turn green. Many have tried to discover
the origin of the Marree Man.
