How big is this portrait pattern

Huge portrait

If you fly over the southern part of Australia, you will see a giant human figure in the flat open space in the middle of the "Tennis Springs" hilly terrain 56 kilometers west of the small town of Mare, in south Australia.

This portrait pattern is so huge that it is called "Stewart Giant" or "Marry Giant". Aerial view from the air can feel the full sense of oppression, even in the International Space Station mission astronauts can observe this giant portrait.

The portrait hieroglyph is enclosed by a trench dug with a width of 36 meters and a depth of 0.35 meters. The giant is about 4.2 kilometers tall and has a total circumference of 28.3 kilometers.

The Mari giant depicts an adult male holding a short stick or dart as if he is hunting an animal with a weapon in his hand. The portrait is surrounded by a hilly plateau, and only the location of the giant portrait is a rare and vast plain.

This plain area is also known as the "Immoral Forbidden Land", which does not allow anyone to trespass. And such a huge giant human statue of who created, it and how to draw it so accurately, so far there is no answer, seems unusually mysterious.

The discovery of the Mara giant was a coincidence. The first person to discover the portrait was a local cargo plane pilot named Trek Smith, who was flying the plane between the inland desert city of Goober Speedy and Mara from time to time.

On June 26, 23 years ago, when he was looking down from the plane, he was suddenly amazed to see the giant human statue, which seemed to appear on the ground out of nowhere.

Because Trek flew over this place in May, this giant portrait did not appear, in a month, creating such a huge portrait of the ground, which is surprising.

He then quickly contacted Australia's most prominent news media, where it was thought that the giant portrait was built by Americans, as a glass bottle was found near the portrait, containing satellite images of the giant portrait, the American flag, and images of the Stewart Giant.

Scientists found that the motif of the giant figure was highly consistent with the statue of Artemis Zeus recovered from the Adriatic Sea in the late 20th century.

And then some people suspected that the statue should be built by the local artist Radius, but the amount of work to build such a huge statue can be imagined.

Scientists speculate that a person would have to dig continuously for three to four years to draw the portrait, but until Radius died six years ago, he did not admit that the portrait was built by him.

The current drawing of such an accurate giant portrait would have to use GPS or our Bedouin system, which was not developed at the time, and GPS was just starting, so some people suspect that it was done by an Australian plane or an American plane mapping in the air.

The reason why the "Immoral Sanctuary" is forbidden to other people is that the Arabs and the Thither have been fighting for the ownership of the land, so after the discovery of the giant human statue, the Thither believe that the statue violates their rights and culture.

The Thither people demanded through a lawsuit that others be banned from entering the area again, and the Australian authorities subsequently closed the area, and the locals also considered the giant figure to be a kind of environmental damage and an infringement of the local clan culture.

The giant portrait painting has been blurred over time by wind and rain, and it is likely that in a few years, the giant portrait painting will disappear completely.

In the early days, scientists did carry out long research on this, and also found some relevant original information, but did not find direct and definite evidence to prove that the portrait was from the hands of who.

The statue itself, like the metal monuments from last year, has little research value, and most people think it's just a giant graffiti of a ditch.
