Yeah, I think that whole deal with the Winged dudes etc. is weird. It would be very hard to commission something like that today on any Government project.

kinda looks like a old dog to me,from the front,or a preahistoric fish from your red outlined photo.

Yea, my outline needed some help, but you do have a good imagination and you need one to see the 'ol guy. Most people have a hard time when we point him out, so I have the cropped version hanging up in the trailer to help them out.

We shall call him Ancient Dog Fish of Lake Mead

Wow, so they were into the astrology thing and astrological events when it came to the building of the dam. Almost like a superstitious thing.

I though it's a bit over the top too, friggin weird stuff all over the place. How do zodiac symbols, the winged people, or constellations in the concrete (your right there Skiya) have anything to do with the dam? Kind of interesting to look at, but weird for sure.

You would think so, but... There are huge concrete turtles, iron donkeys, big horn sheep and horses all over the freeways out here now. That and some fake petroglyphs cast into the freeway exit depicting some ancient people doing, well, "it" (that's out on the 215 by RedRock). Weird stuff for sure....

Re: calling all lake mead boaters! nevada

I looked around and couldn't find it, even google earth's street view showed the fake petroglyphs too blurry to make anything out. It looks something like these, but in a different position.......

So it's just not me that thinks that one looks inappropriate, eh? (I'm tryin' to be discrete... :facepalm

Oh yeah 12V, even if I found it, I probably couldn't post it...

I have spent more time searching for the beltway artwork than I should have and no luck, ...so it must not be appropriate for the internet..! Was not even able to find those cool laser cut 3D wild horses.

"Hansen believed that 'in remote ages to come, intelligent people' would be able to discern 'the astronomical time of the dam's dedication.'"

Got a ways to go I guess
